[After the first night of the flower festival, Miu'll send a message. Hi friend she's got Deets.]

You know about those color-changing flowers they had all around, right?

[fabling]

[ DEETS!!!! ]

Yup, yup! How could I not know?

2/2

[fabling]

Where was my flower anyway, Hinasaki-chan? As your leader I expected better than this.

[ S o r r y ]

[blackwaterchild]

I'll send you a whole bouquet tomorrow the festival's going for couple days now shut up I'm freaking out a little.

[...She says, but she's still pretty calm. It's not freaking out so much as "giddy disbelief." She sends along a picture of a red and a purple flower]

Akashi-san gave me these. I'm still not entirely sure I'm awake right now? Is this real life? [she's dying, squirtle]

[fabling]

Okie dokie, don't get your panties in a twist, Hinasaki-chan.

[ CHILL. But what is he looking at? ]

Huh. Do they mean the same as what that store did at valentine's?

[blackwaterchild]

I asked about specific meanings after, but purple means 'I want to go on a date' and red is 'I like/love you.'

I [And here she hesitates a little] I confessed to him, before. Actually, that night of my performance, I ended up doing it then anyhow. He didn't really know how to respond. It was kind of awkward? And then today this happened and it was like he was finally able to understand it all or something.

[fabling]

What happened to that "I'm fine as we are" speech you gave me then?

He is a bit stunted though, so that's probably a huge part of it. [ Can you even laugh at Momota after this, homegurl. ] Good luck, Hinasaki-chan!

[blackwaterchild]

Honestly, I meant it then. But then he asked me first. I made a joke about keeping his coat and he asked if I as flirting with him and... It kind of spiraled from there.

[She will laugh at Momota until the day they both die and then beyond.]

I didn't think he'd ever notice so it really threw me off guard.

I feel like he's going to end up reading a bunch of books on this and trying to apply them now...

[fabling]

Akashi-chan is smarter than you give him credit for. Robots are pretty capable at reading emotions even if they suck at showing them, y'know? Didn't you meet Keeboy while he was here? A perfect example!

[ Rude.

Both him and her laughing at Momota tbh. He's... trying at least. ]

But that doesn't surprise me either. Everything's academic to him. Good luck getting romance, y'know?

[blackwaterchild]

He's not a robot. He's just

[How does she...nicely say this...]

He just has difficulties expressing emotions sometimes. And he's inexperienced. Don't give him a hard time about it. But if I wanted something romantic, I bet he'd try to recreate something he read.

[There's a pause between messages and then:] Oh no. I just had the terrifying thought about what might happen if he tries to go to YOU for advice.

I'm only half-joking.

[fabling]

It isn't like I'm saying this to his face, Hinasaki-chan. What I'm saying is that reading these things doesn't exactly prepare you for them either. Whatever his dad conditioned into him needs knocking out.

And you'd be better at coming to me for advice anyway, I doubt Akashi-chan needs my advice on sucking cock. ☆⌒(≧▽​° )

[ I'M SORRY ]

[blackwaterchild]

Well, I won't argue with that. His dad's the worst from what I've heard and seen. [She doesn't know the dude but she can see the effect he's had on Akashi.] I want to help him experience being a normal guy, you know?

[WHY.

WHY THO.]

I'm pretty sure that's the last advice he'd need!? Why do you even know that in the first place!?

[And then:] No don't you dare answer that.

[fabling]

I don't even know him and I hate everything Akashi-chan has told me about him.

[ He pauses. ]

Do you trust him, Hinasaki-chan? [ He means Akashi, obvs... ]

And why did you ask if you didn't want to know the answer? I bet you're really curious though, right?

[ THESE TONES ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT... serious then playful, serious then playful... jfc. ]

[blackwaterchild]

[While she doesn't think it'll happen, she can't help but feel slightly worried about what might happen if his dad showed up here. She doubts he'd approve of her and Akashi, and she doesn't know for sure if Akashi would stand up to him about it.

But there's no use in working herself up other hypotheticals.

These tonal shifts are just how they roll, tbh]

I'm not curious! [Stop.]

But yes, I trust Akashi-san very much. As much as I do you. [And now some seriousness with a side of mushiness]

[fabling]

[ He'd get pranked 34893485 times by Kokichi until he approved, let's be real here. ]

Aaah, well don't rush into it anyway. It's harder than it looks. [ TMI ??? ]

That's gross, Hinasaki-chan.

[blackwaterchild]

Thanks. I'll keep the advice in mind. [She's being sarcastic.]

You asked. What was that about not asking questions if you don't want to know the answers? Why'd you ask in the first place?

[fabling]

I'm sure I'll have Expert Advice by then anyway, Hinasaki-chan. [ He's just doing it to wind her up anyway tbh. ]

Curiosity.

[blackwaterchild]

I'm ignoring that. I don't want to think about that.

Now I'm concerned. [She's quiet for a while though, before she decides to bring up something bothering her.]

Can I ask you for an honest opinion?

[fabling]

Not even with Akashi-chan?

[ But he'll drop the part about her saying she's concerned, there's no need to linger on it yet. ]

What is it? [ She should know he won't promise to honesty though, tbh. ]

[blackwaterchild]

[She's quiet for a while though, not sure how to ask this.]

Am I good enough for him?

1/2

[fabling]

[ The line goes dead, which is probably pretty worrying, but he needs Time to work out how to answer this. Just because she's in his ~organisation~ doesn't mean he's willing to fling compliments at her whenever she needs them, simply because it's also a means of showing weakness.

Too much vulnerabity isn't great, but-- ]

2/2

[fabling]

He isn't good enough for you.

[blackwaterchild]

Kokichi... [She doesn't really know what to say, honestly. She hadn't expected an answer like that at all.]

Thanks. [She doesn't know how much she believes it, but it's nice to think that he thinks so.] I don't know. Sometimes he seems too perfect. I don't live up to the kind of image of a girlfriend would be to someone like him.

...Sorry. I'm whining and worrying about nothing I guess.

[fabling]

We might joke about struggling with emotions, but he definitely is x10 worse at it, Hinasaki-chan. In some ways I'd say that makes us more perfect than he is.

If you say something like that again I'll punish you, okay? ☆⌒(≧▽​° )

[ Because he doesn't want to hear it. What memories he has are from having nothing -- why should Akashi be seen as more perfect and superior to them just because he can play a little chess or had enough money to go horse riding or whatever?

Thankfully he isn't saying any of this on the texts... ]

[blackwaterchild]

I mean, I won't deny that. [In a lot of ways they ARE, somehow, way more in touch with the few emotions they actually allow themselves to feel.]

Alright, alright. Have mercy, O ultimate supreme leader. I won't go against your orders. Or else my apartment might end up looking like something out of Home Alone.
