“I owe you so much for this! I’ll make sure to give you the best date of your life!” You decide to make a hefty promise! Nothing is cooler than Dream Hill, so you don’t have to overthink it.
“Look how the tables have turned, now you’re the one doing the teasing! I’m struggling to hide my excitement, so you better go, handsome.” Kata has a gleeful look she’s trying to hide. It’s oddly adorable. “Take care.”
“You’re right! I gotta go! I’ll see you soon!” You smile back as you make your way around the backyard to the front of the house.
You could run full speed with the Pizza in your hands, but you don’t want to ruin it, so you create a new pace between running fast and walking, you call it… <span class="mu-i">jogging</span>. You’ll use this unorthodox way of movement to reach your apartment in record time.
Your invitation was explicit, you want Yu Yan over at your apartment to have a serious talk. You didn’t specify as to what it is about, but Yu Yan is sensible enough to understand the severity of the situation. There are going to be no shenanigans. Just a straight talk.
After reading your message, Yu Yan confirmed that she’ll be there, alluding to the fact she got a spare key from Iron Buttocks (Ruby). By the sound of it, the Band decided to have a slumber party, and Yu Yan just dipped out for a bit, since she has no clue how long this talk will be.
Also, you got another series of text messages from the newly formed team’s group chat. Both Vera and Scarlet are asking you repeatedly, one after the other, what they should do with Suan De. The chain of messages seems like a way to one up each other somehow. Either way, the Slob Dragon doesn’t have a slob lair to stay in as far as she can tell, your couch was only open for the night. You can’t write an answer with the box of pizza in your hands, so you’ll have to do it later.
You unlock the door and find a smug little cutey sitting on the couch like old times. She grins upon seeing you and remarks:
“Hey there, stud! You’re lucky I just got here, that Debbie is so god damn clingy, I have no idea how I managed to escape from her clutches. She’s a huge hugger.” Yu Yan was waiting. She notices the pizza box. “Oh, man, is this a date? I fucked up. I should’ve worn a dress or something to look even cuter!”
“Hey there, Yu! Thank you for coming over. Uh, you have dresses?” You didn’t know that.
“Eh, Nariko has plenty of shirts.” Yu Yan shrugs. “I can make anything work.”
“That is true.” You nod.
“Hmm, what do you have in your hands? Smells good! Like your cologne! I don’t remember you using ‘em.” Yu Yan is a master at catching smells. “You’re upping your game, huh?”
“I’m always doing my best.” You adjust your glasses, you don’t remember using any cologne before, weird…
“That’s my favorite boy. What do you want to talk about, stud?” Yu Yan notices that you probably want to dive right into it.
