WHAT IN PERSON, YA FOOLS
WHERE anywhere
WHEN Day 8, evening

[ it's beginning to be summer -- or something like that, sort of. late spring? the weather has been warming up is the point and in the twilight of, well, now, the fireflies have also come out.

twinkling little stars that are actually bugs. Rather, slightly larger than the normal firefly -- in fact, perhaps they seem more like will o' the wisp sized.

But still, a lovely summer. If you follow one they may lead you (crashing into) the path of someone else.

Or the lake.

Definitely also the lake. ]

[it's true we are both very quiet people]

[wanpanjanai]

[Finally making it back to the apartments.]

Wanna come up?

[shaveandahaircut]

To your place—?

[wanpanjanai]

Sure.

[Pressing the elevator button]

[shaveandahaircut]

Oh—okay?

[it's not like he has a choice now...]

[wanpanjanai]

[YOU DO NOT. TOO LATE

Once they arrive, Saitama walks towards the kitchen with his grocery bag. His apartment is still absolutely factory default, he hasn't decorated or changed anything at all.]

Do you want tea?

[shaveandahaircut]

[Serizawa can't judge, but Serizawa's still living with Reigen, so...]

Oh, you don't have to—

[wanpanjanai]

Okay.

[Comes back with one for just himself then, sitting on the couch.]

[shaveandahaircut]

[wait what.

okay??]

[just. gonna sit on the couch]

[wanpanjanai]

[Just quietly drinking his tea]

It's sort of weird that we're all in the same building. It feels like I'm the only one who lives here.

[shaveandahaircut]

The way the elevator works does make it seem that way. You don't have the chance of running into people in the hallway or anything like that.

[wanpanjanai]

Yeah. It would be pretty bad if the elevator stopped working...

[shaveandahaircut]

That would make it a lot more difficult...

[wanpanjanai]

That might be embarrassing.

[shaveandahaircut]

I think so, yes.

[is that a good segue? ah, well it feels as good as any...]

Speaking—of that...has Reigen told you...?

[wanpanjanai]

[Here's a blank stare]

Told me what?

[shaveandahaircut]

About—ah, well. I asked him out.

[wanpanjanai]

Oh! Yeah, he told me about that. Good for you.

[shaveandahaircut]

[is that really his reaction?]

Yes. Thank you?

[wanpanjanai]

Mmm. Is it fun? You like him right?

[shaveandahaircut]

[shouldn't that be obvious??]

I do—it is. Honestly, though, I've never really dated anyone before.

[wanpanjanai]

That's okay. I haven't either. You'll be fine.

[sipping his tea]

You've been on a few dates, right? That's already more than me!

[shaveandahaircut]

[is that the sort of relationship they have...]

You've never gone on a date?

[wanpanjanai]

Maybe I have. I don't know. Just drinking, I guess.

[shaveandahaircut]

It isn't really much more than that. Just...spending time together.
