[satanslash]

we already talked about it????

[chichichi]

Not enough apparently. You realize what Kohaku-chan would want and what random strangers on the internet would want in proposal might not be the same thing, right?

[satanslash]

it still gives me IDEAS

why are you always so sure im doing something incorrectly

[He might be a little grumpy about that.]

[chichichi]

[ She stares at the screen for a good, long moment. Are you serious, Rin? ]

If I had to say, between the two of us, I'm probably the person who believes in you most regularly even when you insist I'm mistaken.

[ He's defensive and self-depreciating a lot of the time, but that isn't the conversation she was looking to have. She really was teasing, but the timing was, in retrospect, bad for it. ]

My point was what's going to be correct for the two of you won't be what's correct for everyone else. You want it to be perfect, don't you?

[ That's... something she understands. She spent a lot of time thinking about proposing to Lewin. Figured her utter lack of personal experience regarding the matter and tried to educate herself as best she could about the matter only for it to wind up... complicated. ]

[satanslash]

[He knows. Part of his irritation is just stress and unfortunately he still holds the habit of wanting to unload on someone even if they absolutely don't deserve it.

He is working on it, though, which is why it's good she says that because it does get him to back off.

He's laying on his bed right now, reading over her reply before setting his phone aside for a moment and putting his arm over his face.

Deep breaths, buddy.]

i know
im not really looking for correct just
ideas
something that isnt our every day

i probably should have asked it differently but i didnt think about that until it was already up



sorry for snapping

[chichichi]

It's okay, Rin-chan.

You'd think finding a special way to ask someone you care for to make their every day yours would be a simpler thing.

[satanslash]

yknow i never agreed to be called that

[He's joking, though. He knows she'll do it regardless of his protests. And he does actually like it.

Not that he'd ever it aloud.]

right? it shouldn't be this hard but im second guessing everything

[chichichi]

Is that so? You made quite the expression when you realized I'd called you "Rin-chan" for the first time.

[ She remembers that very well. ]

Don't beat yourself up over it so much. I'm sure whatever you do, Kohaku-chan will be thrilled. The two of you have been through a lot together.

[satanslash]

i dont know what you're talking about

but youre right about that yeah

[chichichi]

Really? You were so cute.

[satanslash]

was not shut up

[chichichi]

Make me.

[satanslash]

not worth it

[chichichi]

Look at you, picking your battles! You'll want to do more of that. You'll have a wife to come home to soon enough.

[satanslash]

so you assume

[chichichi]

Are you chickening out?

[satanslash]

wouldnt you like to know

[chichichi]

As long as it's not at the altar.

[satanslash]

what kind of asshole do you take me for geez

[chichichi]

Under ordinary circumstances, I don't. You're a good boy, Rin-chan.

[satanslash]

wait are there other ci


cirm

circumstance

when you would?

[chichichi]

You have a chronic case of foot in mouth and your mouth is pretty smart sometimes, but that's nothing compared to leaving someone at the altar.

Like I said, you're a good boy, Rin-chan. I don't expect that sort of thing out of you, but it doesn't hurt for you to hear it.

[ Because this is important and he needs to be certain. ]

[satanslash]

that's fair

[He's still pouting on the other end, though.]

i wouldnt do that to her

[chichichi]

I know. The fact that we're having this conversation

[ -- that they're talking about it instead of dancing around the subject faced with walls between them about it -- ]

speaks to that.

[satanslash]

i have a lot to be nervous about

[Which will come up later when he has a pre-proposal panic]

but i really do care about her and if it wasnt gonna work out i would tell her well before that

i know i can be an ass but id never hurt her on purpose
hell the first time i kissed her
it was because i was forced to
and it made me feel super skeevy after and i even apologized to her despite her not remembering it happening
