twenty-third breath ✧ voice/action

[musubi]

[Isamu is in the kitchen, searching the refrigerator while his journal lies open on the counter.]

Hey, Sanji. We're probably gonna be busy tonight, right? So you'll need me to come in?

[There's the hiss-pop sound of a soda can being opened.]

Unless of course there's some girl out there who really wants to be asked out by me, but I'm not holding my breath.

((Claimed by Richard. Any other comments should follow his.))

[Richard may be just in the other room, but he can't resist the rising urge to troll, partly because... well. He has no idea how he's going to be spending his own Valentine's Day, and getting his mind off of it is probably the best thing he can do for the moment.]

Now, Isamu, if you're going to ask a girl out, you need to be more direct than that.

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Good thing too, we might not be seeing you for another week.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I didn't think I could get more direct aside from 'HEY LADIES, I'M AVAILABLE.'

...Except I'm just kidding. You know that.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Oh har har.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Oh? And here I thought you wanted to find someone to wear that dress for you.

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

So you thought it was funny too? Great, I was worried you didn't have a sense of humor.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Shhh!

You'll foil my master plan!

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I have an amazing sense of humor.

And I bet you have a date for tonight?

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

No, but I'm not looking for one.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

... unless, of course, you had someone specific you wanted to see in it?

[Because he's totally not jealous at the thought of Isamu being interested in someone else. Nope. Not at all.]

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Ah, right. I forgot you were a shrew.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Hmph. That'll be the day.

[It's not like it would look at all good on Richard or anything. And anyway, he's too damn tall.]

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Shut up! It's just an Earth holiday, and I'm not even from there.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

But if you don't have anything planned for tonight, why don't we spend it together? I'm sure the two of us can find some way to occupy ourselves that doesn't require women or dresses.

[But it's not a date. It's just hanging out as friends. Really. Therefore Naoki can't object, and besides... for some reason, he's not really sure he cares about what Naoki thinks right now anyway.]

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Doesn't mean you can't celebrate it anyway.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[That sputtering noise is the sound of Isamu choking on his soda.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Is something wrong?

[Oh damn. Maybe he came on a little too strong there...]

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I'd have to want to first.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

N-no! [cough] No, I'm fine.

That's... Yeah, that's cool. I can do that.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

You really don't want to? Or you can't.

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Would it matter?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Then it's settled. Just the two of us, no girls allowed.

What would you like to do?

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Only in how I can tease you.

[Voice]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I dunno, man! It was your idea!

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

We could always go to Seventh Heaven...
