Slowly developing CR

Look. I said before that going steady with a girl in that place is a death sentence to the relationship. Besides, why ruin what we have now? I'd just be asking for trouble if I asked her. The Animus would take notice and then where would we be? I'll still be stuck here and she'll be home, never remembering a damn thing.

... Yeah, her brother isn't there anymore but--

...

-=A little sappy here.=-

And she does look good out there. You're right. We're going to stay and watch the fireflies since she likes them.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GOING OUT!

Why not? It was my understanding that 'going out' is a good thing. Regardless of what could happen, you owe it to yourself and the other person to at least voice your feelings.

[saintedsinner]

And then have them disappear? Or worse, disappear and then come back and not remember a damn thing? Pfft. No.

[nerd_bot]

I believe the saying is 'Nothing ventured nothing gained.' You cannot live in fear of 'what if' when they may not disappear or forget.

[saintedsinner]

You know what? I've done it three times already. Don't feel like dragging my ass through it again.

[nerd_bot]

It is not healthy to bottle such emotions. It can lead to major medical issues if not addressed properly.

[saintedsinner]

Okay. Whatever.

-=He doesn't appear that concerned about major medical issues.=-

[endureandwait]

Of course it doesn't. You keep telling yourself that, Ed.

[saintedsinner]

It doesn't!

-=She may be agreeing, but he can feel that sarcasm floating in.=-

[endureandwait]

Right. It does sound like a date though. Sounds like you really care about her.

[Because. Winry can't not tease the Elric brothers, really.]

[saintedsinner]

Arrrugh. -=He smears his face with a hand.=-

No. We're just going to go have a picnic. I didn't say date. -=Did he? He doesn't remember now.=-

[endureandwait]

'Going out' kind of implies dating though, Ed.

[saintedsinner]

Yeah yeah.... And you know how well that goes around here.

[endureandwait]

...I know it didn't really work out between us but that doesn't mean it will be the same way with you and Ginny, Ed.

[saintedsinner]

No. But she or I can disappear just as quickly.

[endureandwait]

Well, yes but that is also why you should make the most of it, Ed. Enjoy the time you have together.
