[ She sure did. And she sent some flowers back in response, because Bianca believes in encouraging fun(?) texts. When she answers the door though, the sight of the flowers makes her blink. Along with the basket?
Whoa, as usual, the young rich guy sure has gone all out, hasn't he? ]
Well, it's true that they haven't come up with the technology yet to make emoji flowers smell as nice as the real ones. So spot-on timing as ever, Bubbles!
[ when the fun text turns into a fun (citation needed) date?
or that seems to be the hope here. in contrast to the confidence in his stance, or the gleam of excitement in his eyes, he's a bit relieved to see that she wasn't entirely thrown off by his sudden appearance. no, if anything, he feels a warm swell of affection as he hears her usual nickname for him.
there's a soft and gentle sort of laughter. an almost airy quality as he steps in past her. ] You'd think they would have developed it by now. Looks like they didn't get the memo. [ with swift familiarity, he's already slipping his shoes off. ]
But before we get into that, I think my arms might fall off.
[ he's mostly just being dramatic, and maybe just wants her to take the flowers. ]
They do say a couple that works out together, stays together.
[ he just made that up.
still, he does give a genuine curl of his lips seeing her holding the flowers. the basket, which is actually kind of heavy, he places on the counter for now. ]
Weights seem a bit intense, though. You sure you wouldn't rather ride a bike with me?
[ he says with a certain whimsy, before looks back at her. ]
But, I still think it'd be fun if it was with you. Besides, I still think we could bike faster than the other couples there. [ who doesn't like a bit of friendly competition... is this still romantic? ]
That we’d have fun together, or that we would blow everyone else out the water? [ it escalates, just because he’s gaining more confidence as bianca is validating him, thanks. ]
Because if it’s both, I have a list of other ideas, too.
Sooo that one arcade came out with a new rhythm game and new plushies for the claw machine, there was also the aquarium tickets I preordered for the month, oh... and didn't you say you wanted to paddle a boat? [ or was it that she didn't want to paddle a boat...
which would also make sense. to be honest, he wasn't much of a rower himself.
but, did you really want to listen to him yap, bianca... ]
[ he says with a shrug, like it isn't a weird thing to do. ]
Honestly, I'd rather have the real thing. [ but, his expression does soften at the idea of her leaving traces of herself in his home. ] But, doesn't that mean I need to win you a friend for them?
[ he seems to mull over her words thoughtfully, before he perks up, clearly with a new plan. ] Then, can’t we just win like four? Each person gets their own partner and they can all visit each other?
how else is he going to pretend to play hard to get? (no) ]
Le sigh. [ yeah, he said what he said. ] All right, cutie. It's hard to say no when you're being this convincing. In return, I think there should be a very strict visiting schedule.
I'd say a minimum of twice a week. If there are any weeks in which this standard can't be met, then it'll have to be made up double the next time. [ he acts like he's a genius for having come up with this.
oh, right. ] It should also come with hand holding rights. Or should we do heartbeats?

From the way you're talking, I expected these to weigh a lot more. Do you need to start doing weights? I could spot you.
[ Probably. She lugs around a lot of equipment. ]
no subject
[ he just made that up.

Weights seem a bit intense, though. You sure you wouldn't rather ride a bike with me?
[ he's gotten better. (maybe) ]
no subject
[ Like.
At all. ]

no subject
[ She's also competitive. It's fine. ]
Trust me, that was never in question.
no subject

no subject
[ This is entirely sincere. ]

no subject
You preordered aquarium tickets...
I mean, I'm definitely an arcade girl myself. Should I win you a plushie so you can hug it and think of me when I'm off hunting scoops?
no subject
[ he says with a shrug, like it isn't a weird thing to do. ]
Honestly, I'd rather have the real thing. [ but, his expression does soften at the idea of her leaving traces of herself in his home. ] But, doesn't that mean I need to win you a friend for them?
no subject
[ For people who are definitely more than friends! ]
no subject
[ like them. he's definitely implying, almost as if in an attempt to reassert their relationship status, because this is how needy he is. ]
no subject
[ Depriving her of a plush, Raf?? ]
no subject
[ he seems to mull over her words thoughtfully, before he perks up, clearly with a new plan. ] Then, can’t we just win like four? Each person gets their own partner and they can all visit each other?
[ why does this sound like poly tho… ]
no subject
[ Because yeah, it sounds like poly-- ]
no subject
[ also, then where's his excuse #98789 to visit her umprompted? ]
no subject
[ Raf, you don't need an excuse!! ]
no subject

oh, right. ] It should also come with hand holding rights. Or should we do heartbeats?
no subject
[ Heartbeats?? ]
no subject
do i need to link the heartbeats… i’m crying. ]
Considering they can’t just waltz in and out of our homes without us, don’t you think that’s our responsibility to bear?
no subject
Mm... you do have a point. A sort of off-base one, but still.
