Of course!! Can't let a date get ruined when a roommate is home! Ohhh?? :3c who's the lucky man, you've gotta let me meet him. But if he's shy, then I can wait 'til he's ready to meet your friends
it might be soon!! he likes to be prepared for stuff so i'll tell him first soooo senpai if i invite him over, or something, is that already a date? or does it have to be all official like "this is a date, we're gonna go out"
It can be, but you should make it clear to him that it is so that neither of you are on the wrong page about what's going on. THAT is the worst way to ruin a date. It's just like in a game, you gotta communicate your intentions. Or your play, like knowing what kind of spike your setter is intending for you.
[Use volleyball to explain it, that's sure to help.]
Think of it this way: I plan to set you up for a pipe, then do a dump without warning you. Neither of us are on the same page and I decided to do that. While it's not the exact same thing, I knew what was going on and you didn't. Your date should know it's a date.
[ shoyo's gears are turning. they're working. pipe, dump— shoyo's first thought was part of the game mentality: at least it made his decoy even greater— but lazarus wasn't a decoy. oh, shoyo mouths, and then outloud: ohhhh!!! ]
and then i'm like zip aww MANNN i wanted to hit that!! you showed me you were gonna!!! that TOTALLY makes sense, you're so good at this!!!!
[Okay maybe using volleyball to get through to Shōyō wasn't working, it just caused the subject to change. Tooru debates for a minute to just swap to voice so he can keep running, but decides against it. Good Grief Shōyō.]
Sho-chan no. That's... Not what I was saying. We're not talking about plays here, we're talking about how your date needs to be on the same page as you and know it's a date. I was using the dump as an example of how you not knowing that would happen is the same as if you don't tell your date that it's a date!
[How many times will Tooru say date in one text...]
If you're sure! O' wise one, huh? I could get used to that too, and if you say so then alright. Btw I'm almost home from a run, if you want me to pick anything up on the way back.
[ although the type of eggs oikawa may or may not run into is...... questionable! how many chickens are there in trench, aside from the firebreathing one shoyo has come in possession of? ]
i'm making rice tonight!! hey, is O'WISE ONE better than GRAND KING?
Donuts have their own folder in that, so do other deserts from Argentina. As well as a few from all over South America. Of course you look at the harder ones to make, but yeah it's jiggly cake. Are there any others catch your eye too?
