Hey, so, I don't know my birthday.

(If you want to know why, click here for all the bg info you need)

How do you pick one?

You're going to be way ahead of me, so maybe side-by-side. It definitely won't be the same things. If I get stuck, you'll help, right?

[ Emerald doesn't really care for studying specifically, but she does like learning, especially if it's from the person she wants to impress. Anything Akashi wants her to learn has value. Even if they can't be in the same classes, she can still study next to him. ]

It's solved now either way- [ She smooches him back, smiling at him as she finishes her sentence. ] and I learned to just do it the first time so I don't have to get out of the covers so you don't get insomnia from thinking about dirty counters all night.

[glorifies]

So long as it's within reason. I certainly won't do your homework for you.

[ Sorry, Em. He's not a pushover when it comes to studies. It's not like he knows any better when he was pushed and pushed to study and excel rather than take a break. ]

It's a valid thing to think about. Having dirty tables or counters could attract pests, too. I won't take any chances.

[unhappy]

[ She gives him a slightly offended look at the assumption, reaching up to pinch his arm. ]

I won't learn anything if you do my homework for me, why would I bother going at all if that was the plan? I'll ask someone else for help if I need it.

[ She knows she's got a reputation for doing bad things, but she doesn't think that she's ever given him the impression that she puts in less effort than she should when something is important. She's vindictive, has quick fingers, and is willing to go way too far if she thinks it'll please someone she cares about, sure. But she likes to learn and cherishes it when someone is willing to teach her something or sit through helping her. She doesn't like that Akashi just assumed she wanted to cheat. ]

At least I know how to be really annoying now if you ever give me a reason to be. [ She's pulling away to head back upstairs at least. No more koalaing for now. ]

[glorifies]

Don't pinch me.

[ He follows her back up once he's closed the lights downstairs. He leaves the light by the front door open, though. ]

There are a lot of people who ask others to do their homework for them. Sometimes it's done out of necessity. Others do it because they're bullies.

[ So he didn't say it because he thinks Emerald would cheat. He knows how a school works, far more than Emerald does. ]

[unhappy]

I'm not going to bully you.

[ She grumbles. She doesn't think anything she does to him is really bullying. She definitely wouldn't make him do things for her, either. ]

Can I shower?

[glorifies]

Of course.

[ He'll even prepare the shower for her if she wants him to. Get the water hot already once she gets there. ]

There are towels in the cupboard. I got a green one for you to use.

[unhappy]

Stay in the bathroom with me while I shower.

[ Yay, a green one for her! She already seems to be peppy again as she peeks into the bathroom to spy her towel. ]

[glorifies]

[ Oh. Akashi has to doubletake and stare at her for a couple of seconds. ]

That feels so inappropriate.

[unhappy]

Would it feel inappropriate if you showered with me?

[glorifies]

No.

[ Because he'd be cleaning himself, too. ]

I already showered, though.

[unhappy]

Then why is it inappropriate if you're three feet to the left?

[ He'll see less even! ]

[glorifies]

What would I do in the bathroom but watch you?

[ Can he bring his shogi set there? Well, no. The wood will deteriorate...

[unhappy]

Talk to me. Look at my butt. Tell me about your day.

[glorifies]

... If you insist, then I'll do it.

[ He's so under... 😔 ]

[unhappy]

Thanks.

[ She smooches his cheek, slipping his rainbow shirt off without hesitation as she does it, then hanging it over the towel hook so she can put it back on when she gets out, revealing she has neither bra nor panties on and hasn't this whole time. Whatever it was bed time before she thought?? She's not wearing dirty clothes to bed if she doesn't have to. She bends over to turn the shower on with the faucet. ]

Hey, do you know how to roller skate?

[glorifies]

[ Emerald is so shameless... He finds himself following her though, not really interested in watching her shower because he feels like that's such a perverted thing to do. Instead, he brings his communications device so he can text people or read some articles online while waiting.

He'll still talk to her, of course, and he does that as he sits down on the toilet seat. Covered, of course. ]

I've only tried once. It was for our school festival in Teikou. [ But that was a special circumstance? Hm... he wasn't skating around by himself, after all. ] Why do you ask?

[unhappy]

[ Emerald doesn't want it to be anything sexual, she just wants to spend time with him. She's like a dumb teenager who won't stop sitting on her boyfriend even in public places because she doesn't want to be apart from him. She just starts showering and raises her voice to talk over the water. ]

I don't know how to. I thought sometime we could go to a roller derby and you could teach me.

[glorifies]

I'm not very good.

[ He doesn't think so, anyway! ]

We can go sometime, though. I'd like to.

[unhappy]

[ Even better! >:3 She loves it when he's not good at things, especially if she is too. They can learn together. ]

That sounds good. It sounds like fun, right?

[glorifies]

Yes, it does.

[ Also dangerous, but he hopes Emerald doesn't get reckless while wearing skates. ]

I also want to try wall-climbing sometime.

[unhappy]

Wall-climbing is fun. I.. can't show you how I do it though, I'll have to learn your way.

[ Her way involves her chains. ]

[glorifies]

Have you gone fishing before?

[ He is truly an old man... ]

Ah, there are so many things I want to try.

[unhappy]

I tried to electrocute the water at Port Niras to kill a bunch of fish once. It didn't really work though, I've only ever been static.

[ Not enough electricity to kill fish.. ]

I can still heat up the water though like I could back there. Well, when Sanguis moon is out. I should go get one of those things to make it work all the time.

[glorifies]

I'm able to static shock people when it's Iris. I've heard there's a way to improve the magic you receive during a moon cycle, though.

[ He's not really sure which it is! He never had a chance to explore Lumi's shop when he went there before. ]

[unhappy]

We switched abilities. You can annoy the hell out of people who annoy you and I can make the room warm and fuzzy.

[ Maybe not lights... she wonders if there's a way she could manage that. Fire abilities.. it might be possible? Somehow? She's not sure, she hasn't really looked into honing this. But she thinks it would be really funny if they swapped. ]
