Kida Masaomi, here, valiant protector of love and peace! I know you're all just lining up to chat with me, but if I'm going to be hearing voices in my head from now on, they had better be cute girl voices. Guys can just use text.
Well, I like her, but I don't know if I "like" her! What if it wouldn't be like that at all if it weren't for the city?
It doesn't feel like at home or anything.
[And what he really means by that is 'like Anri', but he tries not to say her name, here.]
And it's not like we can really be just with each other here. What if I get jealous? What if she gets jealous? What if something terrible happens? What if I can't figure out where the lines should be?
What if she hates me if I mess it up?
What if she flies me up into the sky and drops me the first time we get in a fight?
[At least the question jars him out of his little imagination-induced panic attack. That's all it is, in the end, because he knows he likes Masaki. He knows it feels different from with other people he knows here, at least most of them. But then with everyone he has some form of strong feels for it's different, including the person he's texting right now.
There's a pause in the texts as he gets himself together a little.]
Sort of. It's more like walking on air? She took me up in the sky when we went on a date. We. Sort of danced. On air.
[It's impossible to believe, just hearing it, even knowing Mikado doesn't have any reason to lie to him about that. Walking on air? Just like that?
It takes another few seconds before he can remind himself that everything else here is impossible too. That doesn't really help, but it makes it easier to push the matter aside.
Dancing in the air together... That's pretty damn romantic, whether it's real or not.]
...
If you like her here, and you're both here, then stop thinking about it and just kiss her already.
That is the great Kida Masaomi Ultimate Love Guru's advice.
["You'll regret it either way," Masaomi thinks, and it sobers him somewhat. Of course, it's going to be complicated. Of course, things are going to go wrong. Masaomi still can't even begin to comprehend what living in Ariel means for everyone, but he doesn't need to in order to understand this much.
If Mikado gets together with this girl, he'll do things he regrets.
If Mikado doesn't get together with her, he'll regret never giving it a chance.
But if there's one thing Masaomi has learned in the last few months, it's that everything is worse when he's on his own.]
Save dumb questions like that until AFTER she leaves.
She might not ever leave, and then you'll feel stupid for worrying about it.
LOVE DEFEATS ALL!
JUST SHOOT A LOVE CANNON AT EVERYTHING THAT GETS IN YOUR WAY.
I'll have to think about that. We do already have one date lined up, since the restaurant we wanted to get into the first time had an issue with our reservation. So we can do that.
But I'll think of something really fun for after that.
This could be kind of difficult though. How do you impress a girl that can fly? I'm pretty normal, you know?

You were serious about the flying thing?

This place is pretty hard on people. And what if she leaves?

[Just don't make his mistakes.]
no subject
But thanks, Masaomi. I feel a bit better.
no subject
Seriously, don't worry, man.
Once you finally make a move, you have my guarantee it’ll go great.
And when she’s head over heels for you, we should go on a double date.
How about it?
no subject
But um, what kind of move are you suggesting I make? I mean, apparently we're "dating" already.
no subject
Mikadoooooooooooooo.
Dating means you go on dates!
So you have to surprise her so that she wants to KEEP going on dates!
Find something or some place she likes without letting her know and then treat her!
no subject

This could be kind of difficult though. How do you impress a girl that can fly? I'm pretty normal, you know?
no subject
There are definitely ways.
You've just gotta use what you know!
That's where you shine.
Riiiiight? (*^-ﾟ)
no subject
That's where I shine!
If all else fails I can-
I have to go! Thanks, Masaomi.
[Yeah, he's cutting himself off there before he says something dirty.]
no subject
Whatever you were thinking, do it!
You're welcome in advance.
no subject
[Yeah that's all he's getting.]

[Unless Mikado wants to replace his toilet paper roll, the spoilsport.]

OK, errand boy.
I'll have a list ready soon.
no subject
Good. I'll do everything on it. Wait and see.
[Well, he can't really back down now, can he?]
no subject
Well. This'll be fun.]
