Hello hello~

You've reached the inbox of your One True Love and Shining White Knight, Kida Masaomi! Don't hate me for not being able to answer your call--hate my friends who kept me from answering instead! Ahhhh~ such is the price of popularity~! And the newest class idol can't play favourites, you know~! So leave me a message telling me all about your undying love for me, and I'll call you right back as soon as it's convenient for me to do so!

Ja ne! ♥

[He thinks for a minute or so after sending that text, then adds, typing quickly and somewhat badly]

next time you're together u should let her know you're still there for her, but dont bring it up directly--she might have been too embarrassed about falling asleep @ your table & being alone w/ u like that to tell u wat was wrong

[...Or maybe it's something else...though Kida doesn't really know what that could be. He's really wishing he'd been there now, to fill what probably would have been a lot of uncomfortable silences and to nurture their awkward attempts at small talk, and put them both at ease a bit. Maybe she would've said whatever she'd come to say then...

...Maybe he should call--but no, it's not his place to meddle so directly, and he doesn't want to risk ruining anything. Between any of them, really.]

[Mikado considers that for a minute before replying.]

Yeah, that sounds like all I can do at this point. Without being pushy anyway

Thanks for the advice

[Only a couple seconds before he adds,]

and for listening

[aureately]

[...WELP, TEMPORARY SRS ACHIEVED, ADVICE GIVEN. And now that that's out of the way...]

...Who says being pushy is always a bad thing?? (◕3^)~♥

sometimes you HAVE to be pushy if it's important enough to you

& sometimes being pushy is what convinces the other person that you're seriously serious about wanting to be with them!!

[worldwithoutcolor]

[...NUUUU NOT THAT FACE GO AWAY]

and sometimes it's just obnoxious

idk how I'm supposed to always tell the difference [because goodness alive girls are like another species sometimes] but either way it's probably better to just play it safe for now

I'll think about being pushy another day

[aureately]

[FINE HAVE DIS FAIS INSTEAD

but know that the other one is ALWAYS LURKING SOMEWHERE NEARBY...]

BUT!! nothing ventured nothing gained!! at least if you're a little pushy you can say you rly gave it your all!!

how long have you been playing it safe tho?? maybe it's time to try something new!! (o^3~)b

that kind of always-putting-it-off thinking will get you nowhere you know!! girls like a man to be DECISIVE!! you have to admit that knowing what you want and being firm but not exactly rude about it is WAY cooler than always waffling back and forth on everything!!

[worldwithoutcolor]

[sob]

it's the "being firm but not rude" part that's hard because it's kind of hard to tell where the line is sometimes?

but I'm not really worried about what's cooler. just what's safer I guess

[Because trying too hard to be cool just comes off as obnoxious, too, sometimes. In his opinion.

...genuinely not a shot at Kida btw]

[aureately]

But there's no such thing as SAFE when it comes to ~TRUE LOVE~!! If you really love someone you'd risk it all, your life and your social status and even your honour for their sake, wouldn't you??

+ love is always at least a little bit of a gamble!! there's no such thing as a ~100% SAFE BET~ in LOVE!!

That's part of what makes it so fun!! The ~THRILL OF THE CHASE~!!

[worldwithoutcolor]

that sounds like a lot of experience, coming from you

[the implied ...considering you're always rejected doesn't need to be said, yes?]

are those assumptions or things you've picked up in the city?

[aureately]

Definitely a lot more than you!!

I mean

do you have *ANY* experience at all rly??

of *ANY* kind??

[clearly it does, because Kida's not acknowledging it--his primary goal is just to talk to girls after all! EVERY girl, preferably. (^3^)b Especially the ones twho are too old for him or way out of his league or best of all both HELLO JILL~ |D.]

It's a healthy mix of both, plus an inborn instinctive wisdom thats all my own!!

[worldwithoutcolor]

[He actually types out and just how many girlfriends have you had since moving? but stops himself just as he's about to push Send. Izaya never gave him names, but he gave plenty of information, and with recent discoveries and revelations, it wasn't long before Mikado put two and two together. He hasn't asked about it, and for good reason, and if he ever has to, it's not going to be like this.

...which means he abruptly erases that, instead opting for,]

well no

but everyone starts somewhere, including you, right? So maybe I just need to find my own pace

[aureately]

[Kida has no idea of the bullet he'd just dodged there, and really he's only trying to help in his own (pushy) way. He'd said his way of life was to stand aside for his best friend in situations like this, buuuuut that didn't mean he wouldn't give him a healthy push forward whenever he could. It wasn't his fault if his assistance caused Mikado to trip and end up face-down on the ground, so to speak. (...Right...?)]

standing still doesn't count as a pace tho!!

man, you've really got no game, huh??

[worldwithoutcolor]

[...no. B| ]

I've got game! (＃｀д´)

I just... need to figure out what it is I guess

[aureately]

[Y~E~S~!! 8D]

Maybe you do...

But whatever it is, it can't be very fun!!

+ I think you should've inserted another 50 cents a long time ago!!

[aureately]

TRADE IN THE NES OF YOUR HEART FOR A SLEEK NEW PS4!!

STOP PLAYING DUCK HUNTER AND GET STARTED ON HALO 5!!

I lol'd XD

[worldwithoutcolor]

That's probably easy to say when you're not even remotely bothered by rejection

even constant rejection

some of us don't bounce back so easily

That is usually my goal, so GOOD X'D

[aureately]

But i didnt say it at all!! i texted it!! which is ttly different!!

and its not rejection

its just that they dont even know how much they want me yet!!

but theyll come around eventually!!

and you did it again |D

[worldwithoutcolor]

[...not even sure if you're just kidding or if you seriously believe that on some level]

and what would you do if they did

because I've seen at least two dozen walk away since I've been here

[...that's actually a generous estimate, if he stopped to really think back.]

Let's go for the hat trick! 8Db

[aureate_ly]

[...HARD TO SAY, even for Kida himself. X'D After all, if you say something enough, you do tend to start believing it at least a little bit somewhere deep down...]

it wouldnt b a problem!! an idol belongs to EVERYONE!! & theres plenty of my love 2 go around n e way!!!so in that case u just do ur best 2 b sure each 1 feels liek she is ur #1 favorit wen she is alone w/ u!!

DONE XD

[worldwithoutcolor]

...That's kind of

terrible ( ￣д￣;)

or are you actually saying they wouldn't mind?

(o^∇~)b

[aureate_ly]

why would they mind??

even if its only 4 a short time they r gettin

100% OF MY SHEER UNDIVIDED ATTENTION

& wat could b bettr than that????

[worldwithoutcolor]

Nothing, if girls actually worked that way

Pretty sure most of them don't

[aureate_ly]

ahhhhh but thats just 1 of the many perks of bein an idol!!

they no u rly belong 2 every1

so they rly DO feel speshal wen u belong 2 only them, even if its just 4 a little while!!!

its COMPLETELY different than the normal grrl sitch!!!

[worldwithoutcolor]

[...that might've been the most painful text to read so far.]

That's a big guess to make

and I'm p sure it's a guess because I doubt any girl's ever said that

[aureate_ly]

[...because of the content, or the shameless textsp33k? XD]

its NOT a guess!!!!

its just a FACT!!!!

no 1 has 2 say that u need 2 breethe either but its absolutely & ttly true & its sumthin u just KNOW INSTINCTIVELY!!!!

this is just like that :)

[worldwithoutcolor]

[the textspeak. definitely the textspeak.]

...ok

we'll just agree to disagree

[largely because he doesn't hope to actually win an argument with you

like ever]
