...What the hell is wrong with the plaza?

[Seriously, what. Giant tree out of nowhere, what. Not that he doesn't have more important things to be dealing with right now. Speaking of which-

...Man. This is going to be crazy-awkward, he just knows it. But hey, it has to be done- you can only dodge someone living in your own house for so long. Thankfully he hasn't had to deal with Luke very much. And Guy has been kind of preoccupied too, actually... strange. Oh well.

Either way, he'll be seeking out said housemate, hoping to talk before he heads off for the day.]

[Locked to Stella]

Can we meet today? [Okay, maybe they've been meeting more often than usual lately, but he can't really help himself...]

[Asch isn't sure he can look at Guy while having this conversation, so he focuses on the nearest window.]

...Yeah. And maybe you have a point.

So basically, this is your way of telling me you found someone else.

[Guy finishes his coffee and puts the mug in the sink.] Well, go on. You have somewhere to be, right?

[...Whoa, whoa, whoa. That was unexpected.]

That's all you have to say?

[Guy folds his arms loosely and leans against the counter, crossing his ankles.]

I was the one who told you not to limit yourself, right? Why would I throw a fit when you finally listen to me?

[But... they've been together for so long. He expected... something. So why...?]

I didn't think you'd take it so well.

There are very few things I don't take well, Asch. You should know that by now.

Then what, were you just waiting for this to happen? Is that why you suggested it?

Excuse me, why are you getting angry? You're the one breaking up with me.

Would you prefer I throw something at you?

If I knew you felt this way about it, I'd have done this a long time ago!

[Guy's smile is only a little bit tight. Just a bit.]

I told you a while ago, this isn't anything new. It's not my fault you haven't tried to act on it.

Then I shouldn't have to say anything else to you about it. If you're so fine with this, I'll just be on my way.

That's what I've been telling you to do.

Oh! But I would like to know who it is, at least. I want to know who caught your attention so quick.

[...Rrgh. He'd rather leave her out of this, but... Guy does have a right to know. HE SUPPOSES.]

It's Stella. And it wasn't sudden- I've been interested in her for a while now.

Oh.

[...and that's all there is to say about that.]

Well, she's a sweet girl. Treat her right.

Of course I will. [H-he's not a complete jerk.

...

Well, alright, he is. But Stella knows that and she's fine with it okay.]

Good. Then I'll see you some other time.

[.........................

UGH, HE IS SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW. And he should be happy, what the hell.

With an irritated sound, Asch brushes past Guy and heads for his room without another word. He's going to see Stella and he is going to be happy with her, dammit. Screw you and your callous dismissal, Guy.]

[Screw you too Asch, you cheating "I've been interested in her for a while now" dickhead.

Not that Guy isn't mad. He's not. He has Nami. So he doesn't give a single damn.

He storms off to their- his bedroom to get dressed to go to the bar. Stay out all night if he cares, and good riddance.]

Selenias... [It already looks beautiful, but... She reaches down to take his hand again while she lifts the flower to let the stem settle behind her ear.] When will it bloom?

[That makes Asch smile slightly, looking ahead once more.] You'll see.

[Blink. Asch, are you... keeping something from her?

... Ha HA. No, she is not actually laughing, but she does grin and lean her cheek against his shoulder again, and her steps take on a light little bounce. This is honestly very exciting, and now Stella doesn't quite feel so bad for keeping what she has planned under wraps.]

All right, all right. I'll keep my curiosity at bay as much as possible.

[Maaaaaybe. But enough of that, they're almost to their goal by now, right? He can see the rec center, where the teleporter can be found.]

You know, I'm curious, too. You haven't told me why we're going.

[~~Why does that look make Stella feel like melting into his arms right then and there~~ She just gives a mischievous smile of her own and walks a little faster now that the rec center is in view, tugging Asch's hand lightly behind her.]

You'll see.

[So unfair. But Asch doesn't seem to mind, picking up the pace to follow her along. Once they reach the center, he gets the door for her again, stepping up into the cabin after her. Almost there, almost there! It's kind of exciting.]

it's not dangerous is it

[I am just making sure

and this is damn good writing for not using one's hand]
