Saturday evening, week 5

[fullbodied]

[she's just going to check on people, and Sakura is one of the few remaining "her" people.

She knocks lightly on her door.]

Sakura-chan...?

[respring]

[ After everything that trial was..................hm. She's just relaxing for the moment, though she won't mind a guest.]

Hello, Ann-san. Is something the matter?

[fullbodied]

Oh, nothing, really. I just wanted to check up on people.

Can I come in?

[respring]

Oh, of course.

[ stepping aside.

Sakura's room is pretty sparse, but after Thursday, she's decorated it with the rolls of ribbons she was given. A bow here, a bow there, bows on her curtains, bows on her bedposts. It's very cutesy. ]

How are you feeling, tonight...?

[fullbodied]

[just like her!]

Mm... I'll live.

[she steps inside, and pauses, her face dropping for a moment.]

Oh... no. I'm.. a little miserable, actually. But I think everyone is at this point.

[respring]

...I know.

[ Sakura lets the smile drop from her face, shoulders sagging. She takes a seat on her bed, but gestures for Ann to sit wherever she wants. ]

I feel like I really understand the phrase "emotional rollercoaster" now.

[fullbodied]

[so of course, she sits next to Sakura]

I don't think I've gotten off in weeks now. It's such bullshit-- I can't stand it.

And we're all trying to not be suspicious, and to move forward. But...

[respring]

[ Sakura, being herself, does not immediately think Ann means "gotten off the rollercoaster," but squashes down her awful gutter mind pretty successfully.

Don't think like that around Ann, shhh, she's a pretty girl. ]

I know. I don't have any idea what I'm supposed to do anymore. I feel really useless...especially during the trial, you know? None of my ideas were correct, and everyone got mad, and then--

[ And then Gebura ]

[fullbodied]

Being right in trial sucks. Casting suspicion on your friends is the worst. Don't do it.

[she leans against Sakura slightly.]

Besides... you tried again. Lots. We just... missed it.

[respring]

[ She's silent for a minute. ]

Everything feels like it went wrong, today.

[fullbodied]

... Maybe. Guess it's time to make something go right, huh?

[and she leans in to nuzzle her a little bit.

hopefully

the message is clear]

[respring]

[ Oh. Oh. ]

A...Ann-san...?

[ Hm! Interesting! So her gay-ass crush is apparently not one-sided!

Before Sakura can decide what to do with that information-- ]

I--that's--

[ This does not jive with her plans tomorrow no sir it does not. Fuck. What does she do. ]

[fullbodied]

[it's a nice thought, and she kind of likes seeing that blush on Sakura's face, but she doesn't want to push her, if she's nervous. If there's some sort of hesitation.

But she's waited before, and it bit her in the worst way. she didn't want to do that again..]

Guess I'm being kinda forward.

[she brushes a strand of hair out of her face]

Sorry.

[respring]

It-It's not that. I like...I like you a lot, it's...

[ hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]

[fullbodied]

Huh...?

[she blinks]

What's wrong...?

[respring]

[ twiddling her fingers together ]

There's...someone else that I really like. And I was--was going to say something to him...but today was--well.

[ today was today ]

...I do--really...like you, Ann-san, so I don't know how to...um...

[ how do 2 crushes at once. this is stupid. teenage emotions are stupid. ]

[fullbodied]

[oh. oh.

She leans back at that, creating a little space between her and Sakura.]

Hey... this is probably one of the better problems to have right now... don't you think?

[respring]

[ blinks

Ann is...okay with this? ]

It is? I-I mean, it's really trivial compared to things like the mystery and the trials, but...

[fullbodied]

[Ann is very... very... easy going.

in most normal circumstances]

Yeah, you like two different people. Even if I'm not the one you choose, that's a normal problem to have. It's... gotta be a little refreshing.

[respring]

[ She's honestly more surprised at how chill Ann is about this. Damn.

Sakura shuffles a bit, feeling awkward. ]

I've never had this problem before. [ She's loved the same guy for like, 5 years. ]

[fullbodied]

I... am weirdly not surprised by that. You seem like a really cute girl, but the kind of girl that's very traditional. I like that about you.

[she places a hand lightly over Sakura's.]

I don't want any weirdness, y'know?

[respring]

You do? [ it's not too late for this conversation to still be gay because that does get a blush out of Sakura ]

...yes, I understand. The thing is, though, I'm...not sure if this is something that's, um...on his radar, so to speak?

[ Seeing as she hasn't clarified who "he" is yet, let's hear Ann's guess ]

[fullbodied]

Mmhm. I'm not traditional at all, for a Japanese girl, so... it's kind of ironic what I'm drawn to, huh?

[she has to consider the 'he' question for a minute, actually.

there... aren't actually many boys left.]

... Who is he? I mean... most of the guys are...

[she pauses.]

Um... Furniture?

1/2

[respring]

Ah, I didn't really notice...t-to be honest, the first time I saw you I just thought about how pretty you were, ahaha...

2/2

[respring]

Oh! No, no, no, it's none of them, it's, um...Watanuki-kun.

[ Oh lord in Heaven you can just see the dokidoki on her face. ]
