Good — girl . . ( she added that last part teasingly as she wiped Hitagi's lips with a thumb, also cupping her cheek as she's taking a step back . )

Hitagi wants me so bad, it's so obvious .

You are obsessed with me .

Maybe . I don't do all those extravagant things though, I just quietly stare at you until you make the first move because I'm a girlfailure .

You, shy ? There's no way . Are you trying to comfort me ? Because I'm just so pitiful ? . . . We could . Do ( *you ) want to ?

I wouldn't say disappointing . It's just. . unexpected . Not that I'd judge, I have a facade most of the time . Well, given how eagerly I urged you for a response mine is also yes . — What now . . ?

First date . Yes, that's a pretty reasonable request . Where would you like to go, or what's your favorite activity ? — I am open for ... pretty much everything .

Well, that sounds lovely . I'm into intellectual movies, one that moves your brain and emotions . ( She really likes romance and action, actually. )

Maybe you're right . But even then, I'd have a lovely time with you even if I don't say it . I often lie, put on a mask when I feel embarrassed or nervous . We could skip the movie and just . Go to a park, if you'd like .

We don't have to, but it's our nature . Can we really be honest around one another ? That sounds nice . I'm fine with anything, really . Not as picky as you might think .

It's fine . We can still understand each other's intentions . I'll be there, I won't make you wait .

( it wouldn't take long for her to arrive as well, wearing a . . somewhat pretty dress . something more unusual compared to how she usually is . ) Have you been waiting for long .. ?

( taking a seat next to Hitagi, hand down on her lap . sitting all properly . ) Thank you . You look . . bea— great . Like the dress .

I think it's fine . I appreciate it anyway, after all it's made by you . It's bound to be great . ( shifting a bit closer, one leg pressing against Hitagi's, staring down at the box . )

( a few little blinks as she slowly opened up her mouth; cheeks flushed . ) A — Aaah ..
