Can't stop won't stop

'Sup peasants. I've come here to do what I do best: meme!

Domesticity meme!
I. Post with your character!
II. Reply to threads! You two have now been living together for who knows how long, or maybe they just moved in and you're still getting used to each other's habits. Can't decide? Flip a virtual coin!
III. Enjoy your lives together! Or don't. Not all roommates are perfect. All the same, have fun!

And, go!

Really? [She knows the term, but it's yet another thing she hasn't picked up and tried for herself yet.]

What do you enjoy about it?

[portalholic]

I can't really put my finger on it. It's just fun... silly, but there's something about it.

[pinkutau]

Hmm...

I think I can understand.

[portalholic]

Same for you, right?

[pinkutau]

[She nods and opens her mouth to answer...]

[pinkutau]

[But then the subject of the book crosses her mind again, and we have cheek color.]

I'm unsure, for the book I'm reading. It isn't unpleasant, but...

[portalholic]

Never had a lover before, right?

[pinkutau]

[...oh stars what is this subject. yet another nod, her face quite red.]

That's right.

[portalholic]

I'm actually glad...

[pinkutau]

[a slight headtilt]

Why?

[portalholic]

No insult... I guess I'm just worried about the kind of guy you'd meet.

[pinkutau]

[Even more confused. The kind of guy...?]

What do you mean?

[portalholic]

A good one. Who'll treat you right.

Honestly...

Took me a second; hopefully I won't fudge. /2

[pinkutau]

[...Well, this subject certainly turned serious. At least she understands now, though.]
[...she's not totally sure what to say at first, so she takes a moment to think.]

...Thank you for being concerned for me, Meiko-san.

I'm not looking for anyone in that sense right now...but...if I decided I wanted that companionship...I know that both you and Saul-san would watch over and protect me. You wouldn't let me stay in the hands of anyone who would...abuse or take advantage of me.

[Historically, this has not always prevented her from being alone with others who could potentially do her harm, but...]

[pinkutau]

I don't have to make that decision by myself. I have my family.

[portalholic]

I used to think you both were together.

[pinkutau]

[Momo shakes her head; the blush in her cheeks seems to deepen slightly.]

Not in that way.

[portalholic]

I guess I know that now.

[pinkutau]

...It's a little bit complicated.

[portalholic]

Really? How so?

/2?

[pinkutau]

[And another brief thoughtful pause. How best to word it...?]

/3!

[pinkutau]

...Saul is someone I care for very strongly. He is my family in a sense shared by no one else. We have been with each other ever since I first opened my eyes.

...

We aren't lovers, [she says, causing even herself a bit of surprise with the blunt admission.] But...



[Hey, did you notice she's not always using the honorific?]

[pinkutau]

[and this part's a bit more embarrassing than she anticipated. it takes her a second to spit it out.]

...

He has kissed me before.

[portalholic]

You know, people don't usually kiss, ah...

[pinkutau]

...

[Just...kind of waiting for Meiko to finish her sentence.]
