[...can they even do normal talk? maybe kouji wants to see if his crush is real, if they can just get along normally without fighting every two seconds.]
Mmm.... I never got to go swimming much when I was younger though. My dad he's... overly strict, you know?
[it's a good thing he's not looking at her, makes this a little easier to say to her.]
..If I was caught even looking at a picture of my mom when I was growing up I got into trouble. But I was also under the impression that she died so I just... I don't think I could even look at another family without him catching me and knowing what I was thinking. [why was he even telling her...? who knows.]
[Obviously she knew things with Kouji's family were different. Meeting Kouichi had pretty much solidified that. But she didn't know the details, and knowing how Kouji was, she never asked.
But listening to it, she was glad he was telling her, but sad that he'd had to deal with that.]
I'm sorry. Is he...well, is he any better about it now?
[She watches him carefully while he talks. It's so rare to hear him talk so honestly about these kind of things, that she wants to take it all in. She doesn't want to spoil everything by doing or saying the wrong thing.
She considers what he told her and smiles softly at him.]
I guess even adults don't really know how to deal with changes like that.
no subject
You mean you'd want to go...just the two of us?
no subject
[right? right.
from his position on the ground, he smiled slightly even.]
no subject
Of course, she had to tell herself a few times in her head to do so, thanks to being stunned into silence again.]
Sure. It would be a lot of fun.
no subject
[he made a sound at that, and then turned over so he was laying on his side.]
I don't normally complain but.... hasn't it just been way too hot lately? [guh this heaaat...!]
no subject
Um, yeah. It has been! A water park would be really great with this weather.

no subject
He's... a little better. But that's because I've accepted my step-mom.
[he moves to get back up, sitting up and he looks at her.]
I've been denying her for three years, and all I really wanted was my real mom back and....
[he trails off, reaching up to his head he plays with the strays bangs from his ponytail for a moment.] ...I have her back now, so it's fine, I guess.

no subject
Yeah.. I guess so.
[he drops his hand from his head.]
Don't tell anyone else though. You're one of the only ones that know about all that.
no subject
Your secret's safe with me.
no subject
kouji blushes at that and looks away from her, quickly staring down at the table and he mutters something to himself.
...damn girl.]
Mm... what should we do now...? [he says that so she can actually hear though.]
no subject
Do you have any games? We could play something. Or maybe watch a movie?
no subject
[SITTING ON THE COUCH IN SILENCE... sounds perfect to kouji!!]
no subject
no subject
no subject
Maybe a fantasy or science fiction one?
no subject
Alright.
[he moves to stand up, gesturing for her to follow. MOVIE TIME.]
no subject
She follows, still taking everything in as they walk around.]
no subject
Hm... I wonder what we have we can watch-
[what kind of movies were out around 2002-]
no subject
She glances at the movie collection.]
Oh! Is that Spirited Away? I haven't seen that one yet.
no subject
[he blinks, turning the dvd over in his hand.]
...I guess we can watch that.
no subject
no subject
[but... whatever she wants.
he's moving to get it ready, taking it out of the case and putting it in for their viewing pleasure.]
