[ooc: dated to the morning of the 17th.

When the SFC clicks on, he looks... melancholy. Which, granted, isn't an unfamiliar sight to anyone who knows him well enough, but it's quite the opposite of his usual cheerfully fake self.]

Salon's closed for today.

[A pause, before he then adds-]

... Does anyone know where I can buy flowers?

[He can't

Comments

[redcloakedthief]

[...sigh. He remembers this time last year. He doesn't forget details like that.

And he knows their awkward tense relationship right now, so all he offers, quietly, is:]

There's a flower shop near your salon, in the middle district.

[aimforthesun]

[Matthew... is someone he was hoping he wouldn't have to talk to, both thanks to their last conversation and the fact that he was there before, but there's no point in immaturely hanging up to avoid him.]

... Should I be concerned that you know where the salon is?

[redcloakedthief]

[...]

Are you surprised?

[A shake of his head then.]

Hey...don't be a stranger today. If not with me, at least for Saya.

[aimforthesun]

... No, not really.

[...]

I don't really think you of all people have the right to say that.

[sweeperesque]

I think I know a shop, but I never liked giving directions.

So let's go together~

[aimforthesun]

[A blink, before he looks pensive.

... He wants to be alone today-but he also doesn't.]

That's not necessary...

[sweeperesque]

[...]

No... I guess it's not.

But it's okay, isn't it?

[aimforthesun]

[... Honestly, he's far too tired. Of this day returning year after year, of everything that's happened here-

He sighs.]

I don't know.

[Neither rejection nor acceptance.]

[suckmylipstick]

You run a salon?

[This is more important than flowers.]

[aimforthesun]

Yes. Why?

[:|]

[suckmylipstick]

You're a man.

[ಠ_ಠ]

[aimforthesun]

[What.]

... Good job. Did you figure that out all by yourself?

i-i hope late is okay *^*

[1776ftw]

... The greenhouse, probably. In the park -- they're nice and fresh too. Gardener's a bit cuckoo for flowers, if you get me.

[Billy's sad, it's obvious. He doesn't need to be sad! Because he's Billy and Billy is a sweet kid who needs to smile more often.

... But America does what he does best and it's put on a happy face.]

late is perfectly fine <33

[aimforthesun]

... Yeah. Thanks. I guess I'll go check that out if I can't find anything else.

<333

[1776ftw]

Hey Billy...

[a pause before he just spits it out]

Do you want some company?

<33

[aimforthesun]

[He blinks, startled, before looking away.

... Memories of a music store and noise. A scarf. Ice cream.

He wants to be left alone, at the same time...]

I... wouldn't be completely opposed.

[Video] /sob late

[shounenphelps]

I didn't even know there was a salon! So many shops here.

[Video] /pats <33

[aimforthesun]

[He shrugs.]

I guess. It's been open for a while.

[shounenphelps]

Do you run it, at your age? That's impressive.

[aimforthesun]

... Thanks. A few people I knew suggested it, so...
