[ino]

So I guess we are dating after all?

I mean, I guess we're going to try, anyways.

[save_the_souls]

[HAHAHAHAHA HE KNEW IT. HE SHOULD'VE BET MONEY ON IT!!]

[He means-]

Congratulations, Ino. I'm happy to hear that!

Text;

[ino]

Thanks. I guess this is the part where you said I told you so, huh?

Text;

[save_the_souls]

Of course not! That'd be rude to rub it in!

Even if...it is true. [ >B) ]

Text;

[ino]

[ this is some embarrassed silence .... But .... ]

He took me on a date.

Text;

[save_the_souls]

He did?

Where'd you go?

Text;

[ino]

A beach from his world, in the virtual reality thing.

Text;

[save_the_souls]

A beach? Oh! That's a good idea!

Did you have fun?

Text;

[ino]

Yeah, it was nice. He's ... Really thoughtful.

[ Allen she doesn't have a girl friend to talk to about this]

Text;

[save_the_souls]

[ROFL. It's okay Ino a lot of people think he's a girl anyway so just pretend]

Is he? Did he do something special?

Text;

[ino]

[ well ... Nothing in particular .... At least nothing that was totally above and beyond. It was just more than what she was used to ... ]

I guess it's not anything in particular.

Text;

[save_the_souls]

It's not...?

[Ino, gurl..... there's a pause]

I'm sorry, but can I ask what you'd do for dates with your previous relationships...?

Text;

[ino]

We didn't.

Text;

[save_the_souls]

You didn't...go on dates?

Re: Text;

[ino]

I mean, we were together, obviously .... We didn't go "out" anywhere, really.

Text;

[save_the_souls]

[Wow he...never actually thought he'd be more experienced at dating than Ino. This is just...wow. ]

But...going on dates isn't at all unusual. I went out on dates all the time with Lenalee and Arthur. Even we went out on a date that one time... [you know, the one there they figured out they so weren't into each other. Frankly, as far as dates he's experienced, Allen thought it had been a lame one-]

[Wait. Oh God. There's a pause as horror dawns on him]

- Wait. Don't tell me that was the only date you've ever been on before now-!

Text;

[ino]

I've been on other dates!! It just wasn't a thing that I ever really did with the person I was in an actual relationship with!

Text;

[save_the_souls]

[Oh thank God. That would've been a shitty bar to deal with]

Well you're supposed to keep going on dates even once you're in an actual relationship, Ino. They're actually fun then! You get to skip all those bloody awkward conversations that first dates have and go do things you actually like to do together!

Text;

[ino]

I know how it works!

[ She's seen it in movies and stuff, anyways ... ]

And it's not like I was unhappy with that. It's not like I asked them and they never took me or anything.

I just thought it was sweet of Tadashi even though the middle of space isn't exactly a date spot.

Text;

[save_the_souls]

Mm, it was sweet of him. He's a very considerate man.

[Even if your standards are insanely low]

Text;

[ino]

[ Shhh ... shh....... ]

Anyways ... I just wanted you to know.

[ This is so awkward ]¯

Text;

[save_the_souls]

You did?

[Awkward indeed. And kinda weird. When did Ino ever report about her love life to him-]

Wait.




Is this supposed to be girl talk?

Text;

[ino]

What?

I just figured I'd follow up since you guys were being so weird about him!

[ SHE HAS NO ONE TO TALK TO ]

Text;

[save_the_souls]

I was just checking!

I do like hearing about it! I like to know that you're happy.

...You are, right?

Text;

[ino]

[ GROSS STOP BEING CUTE ALLEN. ]

Yeah.
