idealism | Fuda # 18 | Sock 'n' roll.

[Today Tsuzuki's network post is arranged by his two sock-puppets. Literally. He's wearing a colorful sock on each hand, trying to be anonymous. One of the sock-puppets hold up a sign with a flying, fat baby on it. It's holding a bow and arrow.]

Greetings everyone!

My name is Sock!

My name is Sock Too!

Today we're going to talk about

Valentine's Day!

On Earth, it's common to give your valentine chocolates or a card on the 14th of february. It means you really like them! Then, if they like you back, on White Day they give you chocolate in return!

What if my valentine isn't in Luceti anymore?

That's easy. You still write them a card, but we put them in... this! [Some fumbling later, Tsuzuki produces a heavy box with a heart on top. He makes the sock-puppets open it with a creak.]

That way, when your valentine returns to Luceti, you can show them this card. Then they'll know you never forgot about them!

[He tries to reach for the off-button on his communicator, and ends up showing half his face. And he still can't press the right button.]

Oh damnit.

I believe you forgot to mention flowers.

flowerrs! IO kjneew IO jhasd foprgopteen --

Sorry. I can't type when I'm wearing socks.

You're forgiven.

...I myself prefer the gift of flowers. During the Middle Ages, couples were forbidden from showing affection in public. By giving flowers, a person could express their emotions without being condemned by the church. Even a single flower can convey a certain message--and they do not contain sugar.

...I remember that! When I began gardening, my sister told me what the significance of the colors meant. You could send a lot of messages just from that.

How come you know so much about flowers?

It would be terrible to bore you. Why don't we talk about something else?

Edited 2011-02-09 10:46 (UTC)

Oh, you're not boring me. What do you want to talk about?

Your demonstration was certainly enlightening. And how will you be spending the holiday?

Edited 2011-02-13 03:09 (UTC)

I haven't decided yet. Maybe go out for a drink. What about you? Any plans?

I'm afraid I have none. Due to some complications with the one that I love.

Edited 2011-02-14 05:40 (UTC)

Oh no. I hope she's all right. Is she sick?

...It's a he. And he's not sick. I'm certain he's not aware of my feelings, though I've loved him for a very long time.

That's too bad. Have you considered telling him? If he's gone that long without noticing, he might be a little clueless.

Is that what you would recommend?

I think so. I mean, you want him to know you exist, right? And you'll never know if he feels the same if you don't.

[A brief pause before he writes again, positively glowing in satisfaction. This wasn't over. You're going to be kicking yourself so hard in the future, Tsuzuki.] ...Thank you. You've given me a lot to think about.

Edited 2011-02-16 00:38 (UTC)

[Later he will definitely kick himself, but for now he feels accomplished. He's helped him with a love-life problem!]

I hope it'll work for you. Especially now that valentine's day is coming up.

I don't think that we will be together on Valentine's Day...[He needs a plan first. Some leverage.] But soon. It's hard to be apart from him for too long.

Edited 2011-02-17 09:52 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear that. Lovers shouldn't be apart on Valentine's day. I'm sure it's equally hard for him, though.

Then it would be cruel to make him wait.

Thank you, but I must be going now.

...And in case I don't get to speak with you again, happy Valentine's Day.

Edited 2011-02-19 23:04 (UTC)

[He's hesitating suddenly. There's nothing wrong with what the stranger said, yet it made Tsuzuki think it sounded familiar. He shakes his head, amused by his own paranoia.]

Happy Valentine's Day!

Oh, and I'm sorry. I don't think I caught your name.

[He smiles, knowing that question was inevitable, and he was prepared. You weren't going to snatch him that easily, Tsuzuki.]

I'm the one who should apologize for being so rude. Sugimura Mamoru. [It was the name of one of his classmates in med school. Someone he didn't like, but nevertheless...]

And you are?

No, no. You weren't rude at all. [After all, he forgot to ask for his name for a long while. If anything, Tsuzuki was rude.]

I'm Tsuzuki Asato! Nice to meet you, Mamoru. [And predictably, he's bowing even thought Muraki would have no way of seeing it.]

[Written] What I'm going to get you. How do you feel about lingerie, Tsuzuki?

[Written] /SPLUTTER

[Written] I already picked it out. It's very...tasteful. I'm sure you're going to love it.

[Written] It's edible, isn't it.

[Written] I'm not a pervert, Tsuzuki. It's black lace, with a nice little bow.

[Written] lace is not too bad! Wait, did you say 'bow'?

[Written] I thought it was fitting, considering you will be my Valentine's Day present.

[Written]/SPITTAKE

[Written] Say it, Tsuzuki, don't spray it. But I will not take no for an answer~

[Written] what about 'hell no'?

[Written] The same hell you wanted to send me to when you stabbed me? ♥

[Written] ... That was different. ;n;

[Written] I never thought you would shed tears for me. I'm touched.
