[ Early in the evening there's a knock. ]

Kisumi-san. Are you there?

[ Wrapping his arms around Nagisa out of habit. ]

What would they have to ask about?

[highspeedo]

[imitating Rin] "What's with you and Rei?" Or— [switches to Haru] "I saw you two holding hands," or—right? Unless you want to be really, really sneaky, but we live with them, and it's no fun if it's that uptight all the time!

[readingreinbow]

... What do you want to tell them? It shouldn't just be my decision.

[highspeedo]

Mmmn... "Don't worry about it"!

[readingreinbow]

That's just going to make them more curious, but I approve.

[highspeedo]

Oh! That reminds me! Don't worry about tomorrow, I'll handle everything!

[readingreinbow]

What about tomorrow? What's happening tomorrow?

[highspeedo]

Well, it's Valentine's Day, isn't it?

[readingreinbow]

Oh, I hadn't even thought about it, since there's no girls here I expected to get chocolate from.

[highspeedo]

[starts laughing]

[readingreinbow]

What's so funny about that? I've gotten chocolate on Valentine's Day before!

[highspeedo]

No, no! I thought you'd be nervous about it! They don't celebrate White Day here, so tomorrow's the real deal. But we don't have to do anything!

[readingreinbow]

What?! I'm not ready at all. I have to get you something and I don't even know how!

[highspeedo]

Rei-chan, relax! That's why I said I'd handle it.

[readingreinbow]

But I'm being a bad boyfriend and I'm not even really your boyfriend.

[highspeedo]

Then you can't be a bad one, can you!

[readingreinbow]

I guess not.

[ He's so confused right now. ]

[highspeedo]

It's out of your hands! Otherwise you'd stay up all night trying to plan something, and then you'd be all grumpy and stressed out tomorrow... I'm vetoing it!

[readingreinbow]

What are you planning to do?

[highspeedo]

I haven't decided yet.

[readingreinbow]

But it's tomorrow! You can't leave important things like that until the last minute.

[ Gearing up for a standard lecture on procrastination here. ]

[highspeedo]

[pulls his hands out of the pockets, reaching up to grab Rei's coat collar and tug him down for a quick kiss]

[readingreinbow]

[ That totally distracts him, and he's completely lost his train of thought. ]

Maybe I should come back to our cabin tonight.

[highspeedo]

[MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

Veto, veto! Just come back first thing. I'll jog with you!

[readingreinbow]

Alright. I could use the exercise.

And does this mean I get to veto you when you have a bad idea?
