Is it his birthday?

I thought it was October.

Happy birthday to him.

[magickmistress]

Nope! July! A summer baby! Hahaha, when I say it like that, though, he doesn't seem the type...

And you! You've been off the radar for quite some time, Ritsuka-kun!

[in_loveless_memory]

Not even a little bit, no.

Mun's been giving me a break. I only come out for people I like.

[magickmistress]

That makes me special, then! Ritsuka-kun is always fun to be around, even if all he can make is a grumpy face!

[in_loveless_memory]

I do not have a grumpy face, Sakura-chan. [Yes he does.]

[magickmistress]

Would I lie?

Not only does Ritsuka-kun have a grumpy face, he is also very handsome. I'm jealous!

[in_loveless_memory]

That depends, are we talking about you admitting your own feelings?

Why would you want to be handsome, Sakura-chan?

[magickmistress]

Feelings! What are you talking about? As for being handsome...

Mmmm... I don't know, it might be nice! I could woo pretty girls and Ristuka-kun, too! I don't thnk Ritsuka-kun has any interest in girls... but...

I wonder if it would be different if I was a boy! Oh! I wonder what I'd look like...!

[in_loveless_memory]

Do I need to remind you just how badly you denied your feelings? Cause I have photographic evidence, Sakura-chan. Not the interest you're suggesting, no. I don't like many of them, to be honest. [Or people in general, really.] Still cute, probably.

[magickmistress]

Well, if we were boys and we were dating, I'd treat you right! You could count on me! I can imagine it really easily! I'd be the best boyfriend you ever had! The only one, cause I'd never let you go!

[in_loveless_memory]

Sakura-chan, you are not a boy. You are a girl, and... as sweet and intentioned as your statement is, you are never NOT going to be a girl. So this hypothetical is weird at best.

[magickmistress]

Hoooooeeee? That's funny...

...Who said I couldn't ever be a boy, Ritsuka-kun? Kero-chan always said it best: expect the unexpected!

[in_loveless_memory]

.... Please don't do what I think you're about to do.

[masterofclow]

...You were saying?

[in_loveless_memory]

[Shit, he's cute.]

... Turn back, Sakura.

[masterofclow]

No way! It's not easy just going back and forth like that, you know, Ritsuka. [ Ah, no "-kun" this time, this is boy-on-boy, you know! ]

What's wrong? I don't look that bad, do I?

...Ritsuka still looks cute...

[in_loveless_memory]

... You don't look bad at all. You didn't look bad as a girl you aren't going to look bad as a boy.

[masterofclow]

Hoooeeee~! [ The same chime--lower pitched, more leisurely with a speckling of interest. ] That's what I wanna hear, Ritsuka-chan! [ '-chan' now, because you're super cute! ]

Mmm~ if I don't look bad, then...

Does that mean... Ritsuka will go on a date with me?

[in_loveless_memory]

How is the male version of you more inclined to hit on me and more confident about it. It took you years, stuttering and fluttering about liking someone.

[masterofclow]

Mmm--but it feels different. And it's Ritsuka, after all. Ritsuka is high caliber so if I got shot down then no one would look down on me for it!

Besides, it's easy to ask when you have nothing to lose!

[in_loveless_memory]

Stop that. I'm not high caliber anything.

... And if I did say yes, which I am not saying I am, what would our supposed date be?

[masterofclow]

Hmmm? You wouldn't want me to surprise you?

[in_loveless_memory]

Please try to recall how surprises go in my canon, Sakura. They are and have never been, pleasant.

[masterofclow]

Hahaha! Okay! Well then, if you insist!

We should start out easy! We should go to the boardwalk on the pier and ride tons of rides, eat lots of carnival food and sweets, and theeeennn...

Mmm, I wanted to be romantic but I guess I can tell you! A firefly lit ride over the ocean on the staff! Wth Fly and Glow, it would be a lot of fun!

What do you think?

[in_loveless_memory]

I guess that would be alright... if I said yes. Which I haven't.

[masterofclow]

Will you say yes, then?

I'd like to get to know Ritsuka in a different way than before.

[in_loveless_memory]

But why?

[masterofclow]

Because I want to see you happy.

[sacrificinghearts]

Am I to understand you know Ritsuka?

[in_loveless_memory]

I'm having a difficult time following your logic, Sakura. How does taking me on a date change how you make me happy? You made me happy regardless of a date.
