[Voice; Early afternoon of April 16th] cakeblocked May 14 2011, 05:32:17 UTC
[After visiting the bakery and getting a scoop of strawberry ice cream, Luke was just about to leave when he paused, then ran back to Regal asking for another cone. An idea had occurred to him; since Xion forced him to eat sea salt ice cream, then he'd just have to force her to eat strawberry! Besides, he's pretty sure she hasn't tasted it yet. And she absolutely must.

... Of course, he realizes his dilemma when he holds the two cones in both hands and stares down at his journal. Gdit. No available hands. For a moment he hops up and down and tries to open the pocket by sliding his leg against the chair, but to no avail.

Once Regal asked if he needed help, he sheepishly accepted, and soon enough, Xion might find a beaming Luke calling to her.]

Xion! Xion, hey, are you there?

[ ... really Luke. Really. It startles Xion from some studying to hear his voice, and she reaches over to take a look at her journal ...

... only to see the love of her life making a complete and total dork out of himself.

Unable to help a grin of her own, Xion sets down her things to pick up the journal instead, unable to keep the amusement and affection out of her expression. ]

I'm here, I'm here! What's up?

How about we meet at my place for a while? I want you to try something!

[It's supposed to be secret, but, well. He does kind of have the ice cream in his hands.]

[ It's impossible not to laugh. ]

Gee, I wonder what it is. I'll be right there, don't let it all melt! [ Beaming now, she gets out of her seat and dashes out the door without looking back. ]

[... What, how did she - oh. Right. Oh, damn his lack of foresight.

Well, whatever. He's got a date to catch! Once his journal's put away, Luke gives Regal a quick thanks before he dashes out of the bakery. He didn't want Xion to show up at the apartment to find him not there, or worse, to have Asch answer the door. That'd be awkward.

Thankfully, Luke managed to get there first, and all without spilling the ice cream. That takes talent, man. He's only barely winded, considering how much he runs around the village daily, and he'll go to the freezer to stick his hands, still holding the treats, in there to keep them cold. Now hurry up Xion, before he gets frostbite from his stupid.]

[ If only she could see all this. She'd split a side laughing, and then they'd have to get a healer, and it'd be terrible forever only not. Because dying of laughter is the best way to die.

She makes good time. She's fit herself, tyvm, so the run doesn't bother her too much. Not long after he gets there, Luke will hear a knock on his door. ]

Luke? I hope I didn't beat you here! Then I'd have to tease you about it.

No way! [He calls out, and he finally withdraws the ice cream from the freezer to briefly set them aside. Once he gets to the door, he opens it for Xion, though he immediately leans around it to give her a quick kiss on the cheek.] You still got here pretty quick, though.

[ Kdfglkjfg. She blushes prettily at that because goddamnit Luke and beams, moving inside the apartment once the door's open enough. ]

Of course! I ran all the way here. Just in case. [ Her smile turns a little mischievous, and she reaches out to take one of his hands--

--and immediately squeaks in surprise and drops it. ] Luke, your fingers are freezing!

... Well, I was holding ice cream. [By the bottom part of the cone, which isn't cold at all. But it's the best excuse he's got barring "I stuck my hands in a freezer for you".

Luke shuts the door with his foot as he blows hot air on his hands and rubs them together in an effort to warm them up, and he jerks his head to gesture to the kitchen.]

They're in there. We can go to my room; I don't think Asch wants any anyway.

[ What. What. Briefly, she takes both of his hands and holds them between both of her own, pressing a gentle if bewildered kiss to his fingertips. Then she gives him a deeply skeptical look ... but lets it slide, for now, and releases him. ]

Okay, that sounds good to me. ... I get the impression that Asch doesn't like fun anyway. [ Is she joking? ... hard to tell. ]

[Luke purses his lips and frowns, his head leaning back, as if he's about ask "What?" as indignantly as possible... Only to relax and sigh, then smile as he leads the way to the kitchen. And... okay, he can't help but chuckle at her joke. If it even was a joke. Since it's true.]

He really doesn't. Maybe I should make him try some sometime... [But anyway. Once he reaches the kitchen, he takes up both ice cream cones, hands one to her, then leads the way once more back to his room.] That's strawberry. Have you ever had it before?

[ As the sudden gleam in her eyes makes clear, yes, yes it was. She's got that particular mischievous quirk to her smile, too, that she sometimes gets. ] I don't know, I mean ... he could be allergic to fun for all we know. Fun and ice cream. [ She finally has to laugh. Then he hands her the ice cream, and she takes it with a pleased, curious look. ]

I'm not sure ... all we ever really have in the house is sea salt. [ She gives it a lick ... and her face just lights up. ] Whoa, it's good! It's ... it's really sweet! [ Yes Xion, it would be sweet if you're used to salt in your ice cream. ]

[That growing smile and that same sort of gleam in his eyes makes it clear that he's joking, too. He recognizes that quirk in her smile, and he laughs when she does, talking over his shoulder once he calms enough to answer.] No wonder he's so mad all the time!

[Her reaction, however, makes him grin, and he takes a lick of his own ice cream before he reaches out to open the door to his room.] Yeah! It's my favorite. I usually take it with sprinkles, but I thought it'd be easier to try without it.

[ Happily licking her ice cream as she trots into his room to go settle over on the bed. ] It really does taste like strawberries... I really like it! [ heeeee, this is nice. she gets in another lick, then abruptly pauses and narrows her eyes at him. ] ... just don't let your hands get too cold.

EEEEEEE ♥ cakeblocked May 15 2011, 05:39:44 UTC
[He's just about to sit beside her when he stops and gives a rather blank look at that.] Huh? I don't - [Wait. ... Uh.] I mean... Yeah. Right. M-Maybe they won't get cold this time!

[ ... Oh Luke. Xion shakes her head and sighs. ]

Luke, what really happened?
