There's no need to fear the past. The past is just a memory.

[allmenare]

I can feel that, you know.

[That's a flutter of a flustered feeling.]

And there are plenty of reasons why it's a bad idea.

[silicone]

I can feel that.

Can you tell me some?

[allmenare]

I'm older than you. We're in the middle of a life-or-death game. We're in the middle of a store.

[silicone]

Okay, so—one? Eh. Two, fair enough, but also, consider it stress relief.

Three? That one doesn't matter as much. There are places.

[allmenare]

Where? The park?

[He does not actually want to go to some secluded place and make out. He's just struggling to think of what place would be secluded enough.]

[silicone]

I meant here.

Like in a dressing room.

[ just... he laughs a little into his hand... amused. ]

[allmenare]

[Scandalous.]

That's still too public. I don't understand how anyone could do anything here, there's no real privacy.

[silicone]

They're very bold. Or have good timing.

[ he chuckles. ]

[allmenare]

Well. Good for them I suppose.

[He's still not going to kiss Eiden.]

[silicone]

[ he knows, and doesn't seem disappointed, happy to just laugh at the finality of the remark. ]

Don't worry, I'm not here to sell you on it.

[allmenare]

Good. Because I'm not interested.

[It's a lie, but he's lying for both of their sakes.]

[silicone]

[ it's a lie and he dislikes it that is all. ]

Of course.

[ he does Not Believe It. but he also shifts the conversation quickly back now. it's best not to touch this again for a little bit maybe? the uncertainty is trying to rear its ugly head again. ]

Well, if you want help when you do get a bed, like bringing it back or anything, let me know, I'll help. It's a pain to do it by yourself.

[allmenare]

I appreciate that.

[It IS a pain to do by yourself.]

I'll let you know if I manage to get one.

[silicone]

Since there are no beds... would you be averse to going to grab something to eat with me?

[allmenare]

...sure.

[What is there even to eat at Sears?]

[silicone]

[ the sears is in the mall, so eiden will take his hand and lead him out towards the diner that is also here. welcome to the weird mall liminal space of dysturbia. so he'll just take his hand without any kind of preamble and take him to top pate. it's just a little quaint diner where they can grab two seats wherever.

are you a booth or a counter kind of guy? ]
