[newlydead r2] day 4 - june

[unexpectedboner]

[There's a small cafe table nicked from somewhere set up in a relatively out of the way spot behind some of the other sets, and it's there that Junpei invites Akane. As promised, he's prepared dinner (sandwiches, they're safe) and tacked up a tasteful painting of a bud vase found in the prop room ("for atmosphere"). For his part, Junpei seems just a bit tense with nervous energy, but happy enough to be here, if the smile on his face is anything to go by.]

So, um, how're you doing today? Or is that too heavy of a topic for tonight?

[chokes a little but keeps going]

If...if that's what you wanted...what else could I do but help out?

[exequte]

[She giggles at that, one hand covering her mouth.]

Just kidding!

[unexpectedboner]

O-of course, ha ha ha...

Still though, it might be fun to do something together.

[exequte]

Yes... What would you want to do, Jumpy?

[unexpectedboner]

A trip, maybe? Or even something simple, like the movies. Or, have you ever been roller skating?

[exequte]

Roller skating? No.

[unexpectedboner]

We should do it when we're out of here! They play music and sometimes there's a disco ball. I think it'd be fun.

[exequte]

O-oh.... All right, but, well...

It's going to be my first time.... I probably won't be any good....

[unexpectedboner]

You can't be worse than when I first tried it. I spent most of the lesson on the floor. But you're a ton more graceful than I am, so you'll be fine. I'll be right there to help you.

[exequte]

But it wouldn't be graceful if I was always on my back, would it? And I fainted so often when... before. I don't know if that would be any different.

[unexpectedboner]

Well... We'll just take it slow. And if you don't feel up to it, we'll stop, no matter what. Would that make it okay to try?

[exequte]

If you're careful with me, I'm sure we can try....

[unexpectedboner]

I will be. I'll do what I have to to make sure you enjoy it!

[exequte]

I-I'm glad. It will probably be easier for you, to start with at least. I hope that I'm good enough to keep up....

[unexpectedboner]

I can take it slow, too. I don't want to go off without you, that kinda defeats the purpose.

[exequte]

Good! I'd like to have fun for my first time.

[unexpectedboner]

You only get one first time, after all. Of course you'd want it to be a good memory. ...I want it to be good for you, too.

[exequte]

You're so silly, Jumpy. But I'm glad you're looking out for me.

[unexpectedboner]

Of course I'm looking out for you. I--

...I mean, we're friends, right?

[exequte]

We... yes. Friends. I hope we'll keep being friends for a long time, too.

[unexpectedboner]

Yeah, uh, me too. That'd be. Nice.
