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... ]

Doesn't seem needy to me.

[coldhand]

You're biased.

[starspangledman]

Maybe a little bit.

[coldhand]

Is it nice being needed?

[starspangledman]

[he flushes a little]

It's nice, yeah.

[coldhand]

[hums]

And if I wanted to do more than cuddle? Should I ask for that too?

[starspangledman]

You can always ask for that.

[coldhand]

Yeah. It's really something...

[starspangledman]

It is...you're really something too.

[coldhand]

[that's such a corny line. it's embarrassing that it works]

You spoil me.

[starspangledman]

I don't plan on stopping.

[coldhand]

No, didn't figure. Seems like I could ask you just about anything and you'd try to give it to me.

[starspangledman]

Well, within reason, yeah.

[coldhand]

So what do you want from me?

[starspangledman]

What, right now?

[coldhand]

Or in general.

[starspangledman]

I like what we've got?

You're my best friend. You've always been with me. I feel like I can be myself around you.

[coldhand]

So there's nothing you want?

[starspangledman]

Nothing that I can think of.

[coldhand]

You know, it feels kind of unfair you do so much for me and I can't do anything for you.

[starspangledman]

You do plenty for me, Buck.

[coldhand]

Doesn't really seem that way. Not unless you're sick, and that doesn't happen much.

[starspangledman]

Even when I'm not, you keep me grounded. I know I'm not alone as long as you're here. You're with me, aren't you? Doesn't that count for something?

[coldhand]

I'm saying it doesn't. I'm just saying... I want you to know you can ask me for things.

[starspangledman]

All right. I'll remember that.
