WHAT in person for maximum wish power
WHERE by the lake or anywhere
WHEN night of day 140
NOTES it's a tanabata post!

[ Bamboo trees line the shore of the lake tonight, trailing papers from their branches. Each one is inscribed with a wish mysteriously left by...someone. Some of them are generic, like "world peace," and others are kind of weird and random, like, "fishes with candy scales."

But if you touch one, the text on it might turn into one of your wishes. Maybe it's something innocuous, but maybe it's one of your deepest secrets.

Well, maybe you don't go to the lake tonight. In any case, the stars are luminously bright overhead, and looking at them instills you with a strange sense of nostalgia... ]

Mm. I just don't know . . . ah, sorry, I'm being silly!

[ribblerouser]

Sorry, did you just call your feelings silly? Because I'm going to disagree.

[divasterous]

I said I'm being silly.

[ribblerouser]

I want to hear what you have to say, beloved.

[divasterous]

[oof. he rocks back a little physically, going pink, then casting Mikk a flustered and slightly betrayed look]

. . .

I—. . . haaaaaaaah . . .

[ribblerouser]

Your thoughts and feelings matter to me, and your anxiety is a real thing you deal with.

[divasterous]

. . . I know. Let's—go sit by the water?

[ribblerouser]

I'd love to.

[slides an arm around him]

[divasterous]

[. . . leans his head on Mikk's shoulder as they walk]

[ribblerouser]

[leans his cheek against Vasily's head, his eyes lightening, happy]

[divasterous]

[sighs]

You cheated.

[ribblerouser]

I just needed to cut to the heart of the truth.

[divasterous]

Well, you've stolen my heart, truly.

[ribblerouser]

[kisses the top of his head] Hopefully I can patch it up a little too?

[divasterous]

[wriggles closer]

I always feel better when I'm with you. Wonderful thing.

[ribblerouser]

Lovely thing. [finds a bench at the water side]

[divasterous]

Ah, are you trying to one-up me?

[ribblerouser]

Not at all but it'd sound absolutely weird if I just echoed the same thing back.

[divasterous]

[he laughs]

We'd get caught in a loop.

[ribblerouser]

[lifts a lock of Vasily's hair and kisses it] That we would.

[divasterous]

Mikk, you're soooo soft on me . . .

[ribblerouser]

Me, soft? Well, let's talk about your feelings, then.

[divasterous]

. . .

Whiplash.

[ribblerouser]

Your feelings are whiplash or I just made you feel whiplash about the idea of talking about your feelings when we're being sweet?

[divasterous]

Both.
