[He doesn't sound all that sure.]

...I'm sorry. I didn't help your situation, did I?

[gnasher]

i wouldn't say that. i'm just a slow learner, sometimes. mostly with this kind of stuff.

[temperm]

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, actually.

Maybe a good place to start would be asking him out on a date, or at the very least, to spend some time alone with you.

Why don't you ask him to swim with you?

[Assuming he's... not already a swimmer?]

[gnasher]

[as much as he likes the idea of a swimming date]

we do that every day. it's not really that special.

[gnasher]

i don't know if he wants special though

[gnasher]

this is so stupid and stressful

[temperm]

Having standards is a let down??

Re: text

[gnasher]

nevermind.

[temperm]

It isn't stupid!! I'm glad you're getting through your feelings on this!

I know some people don't like extravagance when going out on a date, but have you asked him about this? Maybe it would be best to start with what he likes to do in his spare time and extrapolate from that.

[gnasher]

i'm not stupid. i know what a date is. i just don't know the level of effort i should be putting in. if nothing's supposed to change, it would be a pretty low level, right? something like sharing a burger or hanging out playing video games. but those things aren't special at all, he'll think i don't care or am a total failure at this stuff. but if i put too much effort in, like make a full homecooked meal for him or take him out for a picnic and a bike ride and stargazing or something, he'll think i'm trying too hard or i'm not being casual enough and it'll be embarrassing

[gnasher]

THat draft wasn't, supposed to send

[gnasher]

sorry. i just don't have anybody to talk about this with, i guess.

[splasher]

[and the log!]

[temperm]

Rin-san, I think you're being too critical of yourself! [What else is new.]

If someone I had feelings went to such lengths for a date, I won't feel like it was too much! In fact, I would feel happy that they considered the time we spent together special enough to be worthy of that much effort!

[That's you being a romantic, Gau.]

But there's nothing wrong with the low level things either as long as you make sure that you do show that you care!! As I said before, just spending time with the person you care about can be enough. It may sound difficult, but if you put aside your worry about how you look, what would you like to do with him, Rin-san? Maybe starting from there instead of trying to think of what he would want would be better.

I'm glad that you trust me enough to confide in me like this. It actually makes me very happy.

[He's not lying either- he's smiling, despite everything, because he can actually be the one to help his friend.]

mailbox delivery

[symphonise]

[ In the mail, Gau may find a present. With the sweater vest comes a note that reads: ]

Hey, Fluffy!

We were a slapdash team that wasn't always in harmony, but you're not an off-key note! Thanks for the food you cooked! ♫

(And maybe I shouldn't have almost ruined your nerdy sweater vest with a chicken heart.)

[ Is she trying to be nice? Is she trying to slowly spread Tabasco paraphernalia everywhere and using Gau to do it? Or is it both? ]

[gnasher]

[it takes him a somewhat long time to reply; it's not that he's forgotten about the text, or gotten too embarrassed or frustrated. he just realises that he wants to send the right message back -- he wants to really take what Gau says to heart, and let him know that he's going to try and do that]

[he's never had a conversation about this kind of thing, with anyone. he wants his first one to go well]

we're friends. and you understand. of course i trust you.

[gnasher]

[it comes quicker, but it's more difficult and uncomfortable, to add]

i want to do something special with him. something active maybe. and he likes my cooking even though it's nothing special.

[temperm]

[Trusts him...

He is glad Rin trusts him- he said as much, after all- but the confirmation back, along with "we're friends" after such a long pause (probably Rin debating what to say, as Gau couldn't imagine Rin to be the type to ignore texts due to a lack of caring), sends a guilty twinge throughout his heart.

It's times like these that serve as a bitter reminder that Gau does have something to feel guilty about that he didn't back home.]

If he likes it, then it is special!

Something active... That could be something like a hike, if there were any hills here!!

[For once, he feels the bicyclists' pain.

GOTTA THINK...]

It may be out of season, but do you like ice skating?

[gnasher]

yeah, it's alright. i like surfing more, but there's no ocean here. it would have been nice to go to the beach together.

[gnasher]

[er]

he's not that coordinated with his feet.

[reloves]

Gau-kun! Would you mind contacting our new third librarian? I thought you and Hisami-chan could teach him the important stuff. Not to mention he might settle in a little easier knowing that people are friendly at Moe Moe's. I'm entrusting this to you, so please don't screw it up, okay?

[temperm]

[Finally, his time to show his professional qualities (besides being bathroom support) has come!!]

Of course, Aino-san! I assure you that I won't let you down! I'll tell him everything that he needs to know! Your trust in me will not be wasted!!

[temperm]

[What a kind present!! As Tabasco sauce isn't a sauce he's all that familiar with, he doesn't notice the small logo for what it is. He puts it on happily (accusation of nerdiness notwithstanding) and makes sure to note that he should write her a thank you letter later today.]

[gnasher]

i took your advice. it worked out. so, thanks.

[temperm]

A beach would be nice, but I doubt the landlord would grant that request!

Something active that doesn't require his feet, then...



...That really only leaves swimming, doesn't it.
