>>1851575It does sound pretty odd, and maybe even wrong; but in the end it doesn’t take anything away from me. It’s not like I’m seeing anyone, or have plans to. That said, she kind of wanted an official thing. Basically, if any boy asks me out; I have to literally say “Sorry, I have a girlfriend”. And when we move to another town, if anyone asks me about Aria, I also would have to say “Oh, that’s Aria; my girlfriend”.
She just wants the name, but the name itself is a very big deal once you think about it.
Bottom line is, I’m not mad at her anymore after listening to her version of the story. It also makes sense on how Joy would interpret Aria’s desires and translate it to what I heard in the bathroom. I don’t think Joy thinks anything about having a couple other than fucking, after all. It’s just how she is.
What do I answer to all of this, though? It’s very alarming that Joy wants me to go to that den of perversion all over again, and rejecting it is kind of hard since we depend on her so much. Even without her offering us her home, until we’ve dealt with Bstone we’ll need her services as a Pokémon nurse a lot.
a) Sure, let’s accept her deal. No biggie, just a stupid name. She assures me I don’t have to kiss her or anything.
b) Don’t accept the deal. If I do, sometime in the future I would have to that my first couple experience ever was with another girl. Not happening.
c) Convince Joy one way or another to change the way she wants me to pay my debt to her. It’s unfair that she forced me to go there to then charge me for a favor, and she might keep this on a vicious cycle.
d) Write in.
