[?? a little worried, since the track record for that is Not Great :|a but goes to open the window]

[HOW ABOUT THE TRACK RECORD FOR YOUR BOYFRIEND LOOKING NERVOUS, NOT MUCH BETTER, EH

however, he's dressed . . . nicely, sort of, as if he had a lot of trouble deciding how much to dress up and settled on something which is nice and stylish but still in his particular style, for what that's worth. very nice but not anything a normal person would wear to something formal either.]

--Hey.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[wow, for once you're dressed sort of better than me :|a HOW ODD]

... Devit?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[probably only because I took you by surprise]

--Hey! Hey, uh--let's go out tonight!

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

What, right now?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Now's no good?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

It's a bit short notice, so give me a moment.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Okay! That's fine! I can wait!

[disappears back into his room for a while; eventually comes from around the cabin, having LEFT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. is dressed simply, though elegantly enough, mostly in white]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

. . . Wow . . .

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[a little bemused] Yes?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

You look good! It's nice. Black and white, huh~. So . . . come with me?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[still a bit tentative] All right? Where are we going?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

You'll see! It's a surprise date.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[relaxing a little] All right.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

You were worried? [this way!]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

You have to admit, our track record isn't very good lately ... [following]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

. . . I guess not. But--I think that's all behind us. [turns to smile at him]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

I hope so ...

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

It is! Things right now . . . Hakuren, are you good? Are we good?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

I think so--nothing's happened lately, has it?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

No--no, I don't think so! [falling into step beside him, reaching for his hand]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[takes his hand quietly]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[leading him out in the direction of the not-barrier] You're--you're happy with me? Happier with me than without me?

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

I--yes, of course, why are you asking all of a sudden?
