Sharing an Umbrella.

2006/12/15 17:45

In the rain.

Two of us under one umbrella.

Just another shared umbrella conversation.

Y-KO:	Oh boy, it’s really coming down now.
ME:	It sure is… You want to find someplace we can duck inside?
Y-KO:	Mm, nah, let’s just go home… I kind of like sharing the umbrella like this.
ME:	You do?
Y-KO:	Yeah. It feels good having our shoulders touch like this.
	… It’s a tight squeeze, but you still make sure I don’t get rained on.
ME:	Oh, it’s not that big of a deal, really…
Y-KO:	Thanks. I love the little things you do for me.

… Wh-what’s going on?

There’s a strong feeling in the air…

Is this the moment where I should whisper my own words of love back to her?

ME:	Y-ko—
Y-KO:	So as thanks, how about I let you read all of my BL material you want?
ME:	—I will firmly, vehemently decline, thanks.

Give me back that nice mood of fifteen seconds ago.

Give me back the opportunity to use the words I was considering so very carefully.

Y-KO:	How come? I was sentencing you to all-you-can-read BL!
	When I show you my appreciation, you ought to accept it gratefully!
ME:	Why do you have to “sentence” me to your appreciation?!
Y-KO:	… Tch! You’re just as picky as you look, Sebas!
ME:	As I look?! You can judge that based on looks?!
Y-KO:	With my mind’s eye.
ME:	I thought the mind’s eye was supposed to see everything but looks!!

Mind’s eye.

It’s supposed to look past the exterior to the true nature of things, or so I thought.

Not something that judges outward appearances.

… And what do you mean, I look picky?

Y-KO:	Okay, enough of the jokes…
	I’m satisfied with life. At night, as well as the morning and afternoon.
ME:	… Sounds like you’re satisfied all day long.
Y-KO:	It’s a 24-7, year-round, no holidays kind of love.
ME:	You make it sound like a convenience store…

That’s kind of a mild description for such a touching sentiment.

Y-KO:	So what about you?
ME:	… Pardon?
Y-KO:	Are you in love with me 24-7, year-round, no holidays?
ME:	……. Uhh, well—
Y-KO:	… You’re not.
ME:	… No, that’s not true. I’m in love with you 24-7, year-round, no holidays.
Y-KO:	So you’re basically in heat.
ME:	That’s incorrect!
Y-KO:	So you’re practically in heat?
ME:	It’s the “in heat” part I am protesting!
Y-KO:	Pssh… Shut your mouth, puberty boy. I can tell these things.
ME:	Wow. Why are you pulling out the older lady card now?
Y-KO:	Why? To hide the fact that I’m in heat!
ME:	Okay, point made. Keep using that older lady card, please…

So, she thinks she’s in heat, huh…?

Y-KO:	Oh, come on, I’m only kidding. Don’t take it so seriously.
ME:	… Please don’t joke like that in broad daylight.
Y-KO:	What about at night?
ME:	Is it that important to you?!

… Sigh.

What can I say?

—I thought two lovers sharing an umbrella would have…

… a more romantic mood working, y’know…?
