[uncouthhatcher]

[Sure, he's walking through the city today with Chobo, but he's also twirling a rose behind his back. For some reason, he just can't put it down. Though maybe he'd just give it to someone. Like Crys. Or Silver. Or something. Someone. Hell, even Chobo could eat it.

Not being a fan of chocolates or real sweet things in general, he's chocolate free.

Just.

A little more courageous than usual, maybe, though you can't tell it right off. Courageous enough to maybe, you know, ask someone out. Steady out. Out out. Dating. Life partners. Daycare couple.

Maybe.

Anyway, the important thing is that he's got something to propose and someone to propose to and it's gonna be faaaaantastic and food filled. Pokégear, let's shine the spotlight! Man, it's still weird to use it like this!]

Hope everyone's lovey dovey day was cool, since for sad singles like myself it's just a cruel reminder of reality. [~Dramatic~] Anyway, since that's outta the way, I've got a plan.

[He pauses, idly twirling the flower hidden from view, and grins as he pushes Chobo away from his back with his free hand.]

A cook off. We got any aspirin' chefs or something like that? I figure that with so many kinds of people from all round the galaxy or whatever there's a ton of different flavors, so it'd be fun! For everyone! Especially me, 'cause I'm gonna be judgin' it!

[Hell yeah. Free food. Free, delicious food. Mmmm. Yes. Just what one needs after a single's Valentine's Day where you got pity chocolate from your best friends.]

Any takers?

Comments

[feistytrader]

[Get some food? Sure- wait.]

Date?

[uncouthhatcher]

I dunno, I've just been feelin' pretty good about the word recently. You up for it?

[feistytrader]

I thought you wanted to date cute girls. [...] Mostly Crys. [Didn't you just ask her out too Gold are you feeling okay--]

[uncouthhatcher]

Well, I mean, "cute" and "girls" don't gotta be the same category, right? And let's not talk about Crys. She doesn't seem into it.

[There is a trainwreck waiting to happen up there, alright.]

[feistytrader]

[...Silver pulls off one of his gloves and checking Gold's forehead.

Is he really feeling alright?...]

[uncouthhatcher]

[He is feeling perfectly fine.






Though you might wanna check his hands. One of them. The other is free and will be holding Silver's ungloved one. Skin to skin. Yes.]

What, you gonna rub salt in my wound? You're the one who said I could kiss whoever I liked. Can't that count for dates too?

[Gold is obviously sick.]

1/2

[feistytrader]

[Wow no no he's putting his glove back on, no. ...But there's a rose in his other hand. Why? Does that have something to do with it?]

I'm not going out on a date with you. [He is experimentally yanking that rose right out of Gold's hands.]

[feistytrader]

...Not unless we go to see a movie in the new district when we're done.

1/2

[uncouthhatcher]

[...

...

With the rose gone, there's a certain kind of emptiness.

Like, he's made a mistake.

A lot of them.

The hell was--

That rose.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[AND HE SMACKED IT TO THE GROOOUND




THE ROSE THAT IS.

The shit is pure evil. Sure, stop and smell the roses. When has that ever hurt someone.

No, now he's just kind of half at a loss uhhhh you still have to answer too frick um um um stare at the cursed rose for answers and maybe the ground will swallow you up while the earth is at it.]

Sure?

[feistytrader]

[Whoa. Whoa, what was that. That... The rose.

He just asked Gold out on a date... Because of some dumb rose.

Is this kind of like that one time with the snowmen? jeez...



...Wait. Gold said sure... Without the rose? And he looks nervous and confused- not completely sure of himself without a drop of hesitance in the world.

Uh.]

...Sure. [They're already out. It can be a... A friend date. It's too late to back out now.]

1/2 again shh

[uncouthhatcher]

[Uh.

This.

This isn't exactly how he pictured going out. Like, at all. But it's a friend date! Sure! Friends going out and doing things together and... Nothing weird going on...

...

They're gonna see a goddamn movie and they're gonna fricking enjoy it.]

Sure. Okay. Yeah, it'll be fun. I wonder what kinda movies they're playin'... [He's only trailing off because he's not sure how to feel since Silver was another person he asked out without a hint of hesitation and]

[uncouthhatcher]

[the first was Crys oohhhh noooooo oh god

HOW DOES HE LOOK HER IN THE FACE TOMORROW

OR LATER TODAY ACTUALLY]

Let's, uh, spend the whole day out.

[feistytrader]

[The... The whole day. Okay.]

...Are you gonna be okay?

[uncouthhatcher]

[The whole day...

... And then they can like, completely bypass Crys's room at night. Or find someplace else to sleep.]

Sure! I mean, why wouldn't I be? I was just actin' out of sorts and all, I'm sure she knows and all, it ain't nothing.

[It's... nothing. Yeah. Would she freak out if he actually asked her out though? Man, he bets that she doesn't even wanna see his face now. Groooan.]

Let's just get goin', huh? I don't wanna think about it.

[feistytrader]

[...No. Pause. Silver's putting both of his hands on Gold's shoulders and staring him straight in the face.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Hold on, inappropriate joke time.]

What, you want a kiss?

[feistytrader]

Would it get you to shut up and listen to what I'm gonna say?

[uncouthhatcher]

[Yes.

But the threat is also enough.

C'mon not in front of the chick. Sure, Chobo's entirely too bored with Gold's relationship drama and is pretty much eating that rose, but still.]

Have some decency, dude! Chobo's still young!

[... You talkin' about her??]

[feistytrader]

[Ha ha. Alright, jokes aside. He needs Gold to take this seriously. He'll even say it nice, slow, and clear.]

Crys isn't a mind reader. You need to tell her what was up.

[No excuses, no dodging the topic, no messing around. He doesn't have to do it now- hell, Crys probably needs a little space right now- but he has to talk to her eventually.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Don't make sense.]

She'll figure it out. I mean, there's been tons of weird things happenin', this ain't anything big. So it'll be fine.

[The art of dodging is great. Bayonetta would be jealous of all this bitch time he's got.]

[feistytrader]

You still need to tell her.

[No. Denied. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 Pokédollars.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[He's so gonna try and push Silver off. He knows that, he knows he's gotta, but saying is one thing and doing's another.]

Yeah, yeah, I got it. Can we forget about it now? I'll tell her when the whole things dies down or whatever.

[feistytrader]

[Or whatever. Right. Just like how he asked Crys out on a date when he really really wanted to and could. You know, without the help (or harm) of some weird rose.]

Okay. [But he doesn't look convinced.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Whatever. Gold whistles for Chobo, and when she doesn't even give him a blink he pulls her back closer to him and is pretty obviously discomforted. Stupid Silver and his stupid sense.]

We ain't gonna be able to take Chobo, so I'm gonna bring her home for Aibo and them to take care of her. Pick out a movie for us to watch?

[Scuse you she is a Big Bird now she can walk home herself. She knows where it is. C'mon.]
