Step Forty-Five

I thought that the ache was supposed to heal with time, not intensify.

I didn't want to lie to Sen last night, but I had to. BFF, I'm sorry.  I just...I can't open to anyone. Not now, probably not for an extremely long time. I opened myself up to two people. I loved them, held them, would have done anything for them. And how do I get repaid?

I really had a good time Yukimura...maybe we could do it again...?

[senseiseiichi]

...That would be a lot of fun. I had a nice time.

[taka_can_cook]

I'm glad you did. You know...there's this new restaurant opened near the bay...and...if you'd like to...go together...? *dies of embarrassment*

[senseiseiichi]

That seafood restaurant? It looks like a pretty nice place...

I think that's a good idea.

[taka_can_cook]

Yes, the seafood restaurant.

I'm glad you're willing to go with me...Uh...Well...Would you be free to go Saturday night with me...?

[senseiseiichi]

...You know, I don't have any plans...and I should be off the crutches.

I think that would be nice.

[taka_can_cook]

Oh...I'm so glad. If you aren't off the crutches, we could postpone going to the restaurant, and do something inside instead.

I do too...Thank you, Yukimura. I appreciate you agreeing to go out with me.
