shout out your love! now, hero!

[bilocation]

[It wasn't entirely for his sake that she did it. After all, she did have an image to upkeep, and any unwanted attention was bound to hurt both of them. 'Dating.' Right. That's not what this is.

Whatever it is.

After shaking off the last of her friends, B-ko rounded the corner and snapped open her cellphone.]

I told you I'd do it. You owe me for this one.

[The sky was darkening. She made up some excuse to her parents that she'd be out late, studying. She didn't feel like going home quite yet. Not until she shook him down on this.]

Comments

[unconfirmed]

That irritated, flustered expression. It gives your cheeks a specific rosy shade and your voice isn't controlled anymore.

[bilocation]

[It's still really weird and flattering to hear that he paid such close attention to her?! Telling herself she won't back down, B-ko manages to not duck her head in embarrassment.

But her voice does rise.]

Do you have to put it that way...! There's nothing about it that suits me!!

[unconfirmed]

Your voice is rising. You can't keep up your appearance this way, so it's fun to see your true self when you're annoyed with me.

[bilocation]

Shut up! Don't you dare say another word!

[unconfirmed]

You can't take a compliment at all, can you?

[bilocation]

I'm fine with compliments. Just not from you!

[unconfirmed]

[Oh this is too fun. A-ya leans in just a little closer, voice low.]

Because you like me.

[bilocation]

[fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck--

She gives a reasonable reaction. Which is. To grab him by the collar and yank him in and no wait she's kissing him. She's kissing him again and a little roughly too and she pulls away and. Just shakes him.] So what if I do?!

[unconfirmed]

[Oh. Oh, well, that's. Not what he expected. He expected to be hit again so this is a pleasant surprise.

The shaking he could do without because it makes him dizzy though. But he manages to grin anyway.]

If I say it again, will you do that again, too? I wonder...

[bilocation]

[He shouldn't be grinning, because that grin is giving her conflicting emotions and she doesn't know if she should be pissed or happy or-- or--]

... if you want to be kissed that badly, just ask for it straight out. Otherwise you can forget about kissing.

[unconfirmed]

It's more fun to provoke you into it.

[At least he's honest.]

Your kiss is much more passionate and excited when you're flustered. It's impressive.

[bilocation]

[Too honest!!]

Don't tell me that you get a kick when I'm pissed at you. You're gross.

[unconfirmed]

I repeat: You like me.

[bilocation]

That doesn't mean you aren't a disgusting person!

[unconfirmed]

I admit I am. But even so, the fact that you have romantic feelings for that kind of person says a lot more about you, doesn't it?

1/2

[bilocation]

[Ah. He has a point doesn't he.]

[bilocation]

[NO MERCY HE'S GETTING HIS CHEEK PINCHED AND TUGGED.]

Shut up.

[unconfirmed]

[Ow ow ow ow ow-]

Don't be a sore loser. I obviously don't mind.

[bilocation]

[Tuuugging a little harder! Because it's actually a little funny to see his face pulled out like that.]

Do you think I'd let it slide when you said it with that kind of attitude?

[unconfirmed]

[He can't even pull away!!]

You like my attitude, too. You probably like all the annoying parts of me.

[bilocation]

[She actually smiles a little!]

Eh? [Slipping into her mask for full passive aggressive mode--] Um, I'm sorry, I don't remember asking A-ya to elaborate on my crush?

[unconfirmed]

[Wow rude much. Fine then he will elaborate.]

Your crush started when we first met. I was the first person to see through you. Because of my awareness of your masks and true self, you developed a frustrating set of feelings for me. Every time I spread a rumour about you, even though it wasn't true, you enjoyed it. When I started to share my hobbies with you, you were happy.

[bilocation]

[... is her face turning red? She shouldn't be blushing so easily but she is? Don't fall for the bait!!!]

What's with that description?! You make me sound like a lovesick puppy!

[unconfirmed]

[Yes, she's blushing. That's a point for him.]

Weren't you? It irritated you constantly. It still does.

[bilocation]

[This is so dumb??]

Of course it irritates me! You're the sort of person most people wouldn't like.
