[Ahh... he was cute like this, like a giant, overexcited puppy and that was enough to get her to smile too, watching how happy that confirmation made him. When he says Ryuji's signature line though, she can't help but laugh, especially considering she thought he was Ryuji earlier!]

You really said that! You'd get along great with Skull— er, Ryuji. But yeah, for real, Bones.

[His rapid fire questions only make her smile grow, though.]

I dunno, do you really wanna do a Featherman date? What if you don't like super sentai?! But I wouldn't mind food or something... I go to the Harvest a bunch 'cause I know everyone there, but there's other places here now too, right? Aaaah... I didn't think I'd ever be in this sorta position, I don't think anyone's ever liked me before, so I'm not really sure.

[For the big brain she has, this is definitely out of her league!]

[stillarhino]

Tha's a friend a' yours, right? You gotta tell me 'bout him next time.

[He does want to know more about her after all. Not just her life here but even back home. Back in her Shibuya. His smile persists as she tries to answer him. He can see she's trying too. Neither of them seemed to have much experience with sort of thing, and his way of going about it was, apparently, just throwing out ideas and seeing what sticks.

When she starts to struggle though, he shakes his head, hoping to reassure her.]

Look, yo. I'm aight with whatever ya wanna do. I mean, as long as I'm hangin' out with ya, you know? If you wanna do something you like, I'm down. But I'mma pick the next one after!

[Ah. That last part seemed to come out without him realizing it.]

[mwehehe]

Yeah, from home. You definitely threw me off at first, you look a lot like him in your getup right now. But yeah, I'll make sure I tell you about them all!

[Though... maybe it's better if Ren isn't here anymore... and though they don't know it, Ann will be waking up soon too— that just leaves Akechi, but Akechi.... :') Akechi won't be ready to break kneecaps... probably.

Futaba pauses when he tells her he's fine hanging out with her, letting that sink in first before she says anything more.]

A-after? [o-oh... yeah she blushes at that. AN AFTER DATE..............] Y-yeah, of course! Just... lemme know when you wanna eat something, and we can figure out the Featherman thing.

[stillarhino]

Yeah, I'mma hit you up for sure!

[He grins from ear to ear, but despite all his excitement, he does remember that there was a slight hitch to all this. Suddenly, his energy begins to deflate as he slowly sits back down, his expression much like a schoolchild who had done something wrong.]

I gotta come clean though, Shorty. I'm still kinda figuring things out. Like, I know that I like ya, that's for sure! [It's hard to tell if he's trying to reassure her or himself.] But...

[There's a moment of hesitation as he looks away from her for a moment, almost psyching himself out of it, feeling as if a lump had begun to grow in his throat. But he steels himself and meets her gaze once more. Even if there was no telling how this might go, Beat knew that hiding it might make things even worse.]

There's someone else that I know I like too...
