[A little blush rises to her cheeks, and Rise can't help but smiling.]

I was a little blind to it, back home.

[ It's nice to hear it now, though. Her heart does a little flip in her chest. ]

Yeah? It's okay if that's too weird. I mean, I'd like to at least get the chance to flirt with you now... I'll be sad, but I'll understand, if you gotta tell me no...

[But he isn't saying no. He's saying it's not serious. Her eyes flash, wanting to see that smile of his reach his eyes.]

So it's cool that we're on a date, then?

We did have a lot going on back then, aside from normal high school drama.

[On any other day, Yosuke would have been ecstatic to hear that Rise wanted to flirt with him, that she liked him and all that. But things quite easily got complicated really fast and all he could do was simply nod.]

Yeah, it’s... I mean, I guess it’d be-

[Wait, what?]

...we are?

No kidding.

[Thanks for giving her the excuse there, buddy.

Rise smiles wryly and sips her drink.]

Aren't we?

[We all know Yosuke is too nice sometimes.

But brb, Yosuke’s starting to blue screen.]

I-

But-

[He silently points to her, then to himself, then to the table as a gesture of their date place...all the while looking incredibly confused and thinking hard to work this out.

And then, he promptly turned beet red and held his face.]

This is a date?! Why didn’t you tell me?!

[Yosuke you are too cute! Rise can't completely stifle her laughter. Sorry, bud.]

Well I had to mention the other thing first, right?

[He really does like her, doesn't he? Rise preens like a peacock.]

W-W-W-Well yeah b-but-!

[It wasn’t even that he didn’t want to be on a date. But he spit tea out of is nose! And they were talking about totally not date things! And-And-!

He sank into his chair, still holding his face.]

This can’t be your idea of a good date.

I'm having a great time.

[Sure it's partly that she's kind of a sadist and watching Yosuke embarrass himself brings her uncountable joy, but that's not the point.]

I found out a really good-looking boy likes me and maybe wants to casually go out, everything's coming up Rise.

[Even so, Yosuke made a soft whining sound but he finally lowered his arms.

Even after all that, it wasn’t like he was going to say no.]

O-Okay.

[She was enjoying herself and honestly, so was Yosuke. Probably not as much as Rise considering he was still looking like a tomato and his nose still burned a bit. But...]

Then, it’s a date.

[Rise beams at him, reaching over to gently poke his cheek.]

Glad to hear it!

[You can tell her she's an ass if you really need to, Yosuke. She's kind of aware she's not done the best job re: him, and she's partly dealing with that by not dealing with it.

She really does just want to have a nice time with him, though.]

Promise I'll warn you ahead next time.

[Unless your name was Chie, he wasn’t going to call another girl an ass. He does look unimpressed at her poking though.]

You’d better.

[He could have worn something nicer.]

[You really shouldn't let her get away with murder like this.

Rise giggles and takes her hand back to rest her chin on it.]

How was work?

[Yosuke couldn't help it.]

It was fine. It's work and it's food service, so.

[Not exactly the most entertaining. Of course, then he lit up suddenly and smiled.]

I saw Koro-chan again today.

[You're gonna make a terror out of her.]

That's Minako-senpai's doggy, right?

[She doesn't really know Shinjiro yet.]

Is it? I thought he was Aragaki's. He works with me at McDenny's and Koro-chan visits a lot.

[Not that it really mattered at the end of the day, the dog was awesome.]

Oh, maybe he is...

[Now she's not sure.]

I havent met Aragaki-san yet. Koromaru is a cutie, though.

They're from the same world so, maybe he belongs to both of them.

[He finally grabbed his discarded tea to sip at.]

He's real smart too.

Yeah, maybe! Or maybe she just steals him sometimes.

[That seems like something Minako would do.]

Is he? I've heard Shiba Inu's are pretty smart.

[He laughed at the thought, yeah, that could be it.]

I'd steal him if I could. I wouldn't mind having a dog for company at my apartment, it gets too quiet sometimes.

You could get your own dog.

[Pet fatherhood would be a good look on him.]

Edited 2019-09-12 01:27 (UTC)

Yeah but what about whenever we go home?

[would he be able to take the dog with him? What if he couldn't?]

Someone else would adopt it.

[She's pretty sure the prismals doing so much to make them feel at home wouldn't leave a pet abandoned and alone in an apartment.]

Yeah, I guess.

[It's just also a sad thought. He'll think about it.]

So, is there anything else you wanted to do today aside from surprising me?

[She sips her tea.]

Nothing specific. Just wanted to be out and about. Wanted to talk to you. Want to give Chie some space. What do you normally do after work?

I don’t really have anything set that I do. I’ll sometimes text the others to see if they wanna do somethin’, or I’ll go to the arcade or the park. Watch a movie. Just... whatever, I guess?

[It was honestly still weird to not have school or anything. It made having so much free time a bit daunting. It’s also why his apartment isn’t some giant mess. Cleaning also gave him something to do.]

Since you and I are out [And apparently on a date... gulp.] and nothing specific.... mmm... Shopping? Take a walk? The sky’s the limit.

Just whatever works.

[ She smiles, not wanting to make Yosuke's day much more embarrassing than it already is. ]

I'll let you pick, since I chose the cafe and took you by surprise. I'll even go to the arcade if you want.

[ She means it, too, not just trying to convince him to choose something she'd like. ]
