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.]

[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?

[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.

[unconfirmed]

I don't really get it either but whatever lights your fire.

[bilocation]

[For someone surprisingly smart and observant, A-ya can be remarkably stupid.]

... you really don't get it?

[unconfirmed]

[He blinks.] ...Not really.

[bilocation]

Even though you just said it?

[unconfirmed]

[Wait what...]

...Because I paid attention to you? I guess that would make it more reasonable why you like someone like me.

[bilocation]

[Siiiigh.] Wow. Are you always this slow?

[unconfirmed]

What part did I miss?

[bilocation]

... forget it.

[unconfirmed]

[Ah... Did he screw up something?]

...Are you mad again?

[bilocation]

[It's not a big deal anyway? No. It's really not. B-ko stands up and flips open her cell phone.]

I'm always mad at you.

[unconfirmed]

[Oh, she's really mad. A-ya looks down and fidgets just a little in his lap. If he's objective, he can probably see it easier, even if he doesn't like applying it to them yet.

He mumbles:] ...Because you wanted someone to like you for you.

[bilocation]

[B-ko looks up.

... he's a ridiculous person. A-ya always seemed aloof and certain. But when it came down to things like this, he takes a while to reach the conclusion, doesn't he?

He shouldn't look so sorry, even though it makes some of that irritation in her heart go away. It doesn't suit him a bit.]

Yeah? And?

[unconfirmed]

And I did. That is, I do. [He still feels like she's mad at him so he might as well try being as objective as he can about it.] I already said days are more interesting because of you.
