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. ]

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.

[wanpanjanai]

Oh, then yeah. I've been on some.

[shaveandahaircut]

[okay that seems much more normal]

With Reigen or with other people too?

[wanpanjanai]

If it doesn't have to be dinner and a movie and stuff, then other people too. In college.

[shaveandahaircut]

Ah, I see.

[he's more experienced than he looks]

[wanpanjanai]

[Saitama sips his tea, considering.]

But maybe not. College might have just been sex. We didn't really talk.

[shaveandahaircut]

[that seems depressing]

That's when you met Reigen?

[wanpanjanai]

[His life was pretty depressing tbh]

Mmm. Yeah. Towards the end when I was interning.

[shaveandahaircut]

But it's different between you now, isn't it?

[wanpanjanai]

[Actually smiles at that.]

Yeah, I think it is.

[shaveandahaircut]

[aww he's happy]

That's good. I'm glad.

[wanpanjanai]

It doesn't bother you, right? With you two... [makes a vague hand motion that probably means "are dating"]

I know he likes you.

[shaveandahaircut]

[it's not like he doesn't know Reigen likes him but it still makes him blush ///]

I'm fine with it, honestly. I wouldn't want to take away from what he already has with you.

[wanpanjanai]

Ah, I'm glad. I don't think it'll do that.
