Date. Summer plans.

[sand_tanuki]

Lee asked me out on a date. It went fine.

Temari, Kankurou and I will be renting Villa Corafan this summer.

The villa has four bedrooms, a pool area, open-air living room with a sound system and bar, a garden, a television room, a fitness room, a detached viewing platform, and a detached dining area. The television room has a bathroom, and can be

I already said I would. But...um...are all those servants really necessary? I mean, why would it need a gardener for? It's not like the grass'll develop into a jungle in--how many days are we staying?

Also, congratulations on the...date?

[sand_tanuki]

They come with the package. The gardener tends the garden and I believe he is employed by the owners to keep the place trimmed.

We have not discussed the length of our stay yet, but it will be at least three days. More if we find the place pleasing.

...It wasn't that different from our previous outings. Only he kept touching me.

[violent_pulse]

Well, I guess that makes sense? So, it'd be like...people pampering us. Only you three are probably used to it, and--ah--pool party? Is it obligatory?

Guess I could ask for a week off. Should be fun.

...did he now? How did the date go? Did you have fun?

[sand_tanuki]

You do not have to swim. But to get dinner, you have to wait for it by the grill.

It...was. We watched a movie together. Lee seemed to like it.

[violent_pulse]

Who's going to handle the grill? Is this the grill we've talked about? I don't mind swimming, not at all. It's the...wearing a bathing suit what bothers me.

But nevermind that. So...it was really a 'date' date, not a 'friendly outing' date, huh? Did you flirt?

[sand_tanuki]

Yes. There is a cook who can handle the grill, unless Kankurou wants to do it himself. ...I see. You prefer to go naked.

There's a difference? He only called it a date. And the last time I attempted to 'flirt' with him, he pulled away. So I did not.

[violent_pulse]

WHAT! WHAT? NO, NO, THAT'S NOT--augh, no, I do not prefer to go naked. Jesus. It's different.

Well, if he called it a date, it means he probably wouldn't have minded a bit of flirting from you.

[sand_tanuki]

But you said you felt uncomfortable in a bathing suit.

He wouldn't have? ...I don't understand dating.

[violent_pulse]

Because I don't like showing off my semi-naked body, especially in presence of the many...who knows how pretty other friends you've invited. That are female.

Ah, well, you see, if he asked you out and called it a date, it means he might like you...as in, wanting to be with you. As an item. Much like when he asked me out. And normally, on a date, people are...expected to flirt. Compliment each other. Hold hands, maybe. Kiss...maybe some flowers, gosh, I've never been given flowers, I bet it's really n--the point is, dates is the first place where you're really allowed to flirt. In a loose sense of putting it.

[sand_tanuki]

...You are the only female I have invited. Unless Temari or Kankurou will invite other women to come. I don't see why other women will affect you. All women have the same body parts.

Yes. Like when he asked you out.

He said he wanted to be together that way and he held my hand. ...His hand was warm.

[violent_pulse]

...it's complicated. Nevermind, Gaara.

Well, then. Congratulations! I think you've a boyfriend.

[sand_tanuki]

...Alright. I will inform you when everything has been planned out.

But Lee isn't my boyfriend. We have not decided on that matter yet.

[violent_pulse]

Great.

Well, you've went on a date and he told you he wanted to be with you "that way", can't get any more clearer than that.

[sand_tanuki]

...I don't know if I can be in that kind of relationship. With anyone.

[violent_pulse]

Oh?...why not?

[sand_tanuki]

There are many things I don't understand about relationships. It is not fair to Lee if I become anything more than a friend.
