Good question.
Why... should he be worried about Ibuki being mad at him, at this point? The times it's happened, it's still turned out ultimately well! She's... actually fucking let him talk! And tried to actually get it! She's... a huge fucking first among people he's fought with! And she's still... come out of stuff not mad.
He hasn't had to lie to her or fake his responses or anything, and she's still been not mad at him, and tried to... actually get where he was coming from.
...Yeah, um. He's still been worried about her getting mad off of the... principle. He's said he was just gonna make her happy. And if he doesn't do that right, she could just be gone, and so...!
Either way, as her responses come on in, he is bracing himself.
Even with that first... mental gasp of relief of okay, you get it, you're not mad...!
But he still... flinches with that last part.
Okay, you still... want something from me...!
Types out:]
Ok, what is it
no subject
ibuki just wants you to promise to do all the other fun stuff with me, that's all
all the cuddling, and the romping, and the playing, and the goofing!!
you'll save all that for ibuki, right?
[Yep.
Just... confirmation of stuff, really. That's all she wants.]
no subject
Oh, geez, he was... worried it was going to be something bad - that... is actually really, really reassuring.
And... he did ask Lust to, well...!
In essence, cuddle with him, but he knows it's not gonna feel the same way, so...!]
Nah don't worry.
Who else would I do any of that stuff with
[In a way in which it... really counts.]
Even if I tried it wouldn't feel as good.
Not that I want anyone else anyway but you know
I don't know if you get grossed out by me saying this kinda stuff but you're my woman.
And there's no other one I would ever WANT
Like
Look at you and me, we're PERFECT for each other
We like all of the same stuff and came out of shit families, so
You and me GET each other
1/2
no subject
well, no, only kinda kidding. that was really cheesy of you to say!!
but ibuki's proud of you for coming out and saying it anyway!!
especially because it's TOTALLY RIGHT!! everything about us is like peanut butter and jelly, right??
like salt and pepper! a hamburger and fries!
chocolate and jerky!!
[... Okay, maybe not that last one. But hey, she liked it -]
so, ibuki trusts you to keep your word!
(also don't use "my woman", that's suuuuper played out and old-fashioned)
(say like, "my cute ibuki"! or "my cool partner"! or "my awesome bandmate"! or something like that, i dunno)
no subject
But he does... buckle further into laughing about it either way...!
Further emphasis on yeah -- you can say it and it won't make it feel like things are different in a way I don't want...!
As he... still with a crescent grin on his face, sits propped up with a hand under his chin to keep... trying his best on typing with the other...!]
Ha ha ISN'T IT???
You know what
I kinda talked about this kinda shit before
You're the first person I ever felt like I WENT with
But ok, what are we both gonna call each OTHER
I know the whole bandmate thing, but if "my Ibuki" and "my partner" MIGHT work out I dunno what we'd both be extra good with
And I still don't know what you call me except just Lucas or "my bandmate"
If you think "my woman" and that kinda shit is gross how am I supposed to know what I CAN say
no subject
what would be REALLY GOOD? what would make it SUPER OBVIOUS without sounding cliche and gross??
while ibuki thinks of something good for you... what kinda stuff would you wanna call ibuki?
no subject
I don't know I HAVE kinda hoped that stuff like "my lady" or "my Ibuki" wouldn't weird the shit out of you????
And in thinking about stuff like "my partner" there are so fucking many people on Ryslig who just go with that.
When they DON'T wanna just say "girlfriend" or "boyfriend", I dunno what they DO say unless they're getting married and then say "my fiance" and stuff like that
I just WANNA call you stuff like "my woman" and "my Ibuki" and "baby" and "sweetie" but what the hell ELSE am I supposed to know how to say
YOU'RE not a sugary type about that kinds of stuff, and I know you wouldn't wanna do stuff like pet names or say "my man" or anything, and like I said I dunno if the stuff I wanna say would just gross you out
no subject
in that case, how bout we cut a deal?
ibuki will let you use whateeeeever you wanna use!
"my girlfriend" or "sweetie" or whatever!
BUT
IN RETURN
AND THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT
you start taking her out a whole bunch more for fun things like eating and playing with fireworks! making whole nights of it!
how's that sound??
no subject
Holy shit Ibuki you say that like I don’t already like it when we get to play all night.
Except for the ones where I’m getting us “special diet” stuff!! But you know
We’ve gone and scheduled around that before
You got yourself a deal, babycakes. :)
[Already playing with your leeway, I see.
Emphasis on playing. He knows that's kind of a stretch past the... distinctly un-saccharine "sugartits"; this is essentially him going "reeeeeeeaaaaaally? 8)"]
Speaking of fireworks though!!
Wasn’t there some kind of holiday in Japan happening around now??
You gonna skip it or do want some help getting ready for that????
no subject
what a bold move!!
[But... not a move she's contesting, either.]
and you mean tanabata!!
the day it's on skips around a bunch, but it uuuuusually doesn't start until the 7th... but ibuki's sure the stars won't mind if she holds it a little earlier!
these aren't even the same stars, anyway!!
do you know where we can get a looooooot of really really nice fabric?? we're both gonna need a yukata for this!
and lots of good food too, but ibuki can make that, too!
and fireworks!
but ibuki's sure you know where to get THE BEST fireworks!!
there's usually also street fairs and parades and stuff, but we can just pretend, right?
no subject
Bold, indeed.]
Yeah that one, the one that had something about making wishes!!
Uhhhhh I know where to get fabric but not NICE shit.
Not that you could make yourself a kimono or something with if that's what you're getting at
[Not just herself, boy.]
You make clothes, right?? Where did you get the stuff for the jacket you made me???
You bet though!
I've been building up a fireworks stash since this time last year
I got us covered on having enough for a real sweet summer fest. :)
[And... here he is, having completely forgotten that his original intention was to launch them tonight.]
I'm good at making toys to play pretend with, too
We could break out all our little animal friends to do all the rest of the partying again, right???
[Y -- you mean the taxidermy.
And the mannequins.]
no subject
but all the fabric she got when she was a professional had been through the store... she doesn't know where it came from
she knows where to get like, really nice fabric for like capes and stuff, but not yukata making fabric!
especially not in a color you'd like
[Because they're...
... Drapes. That she buys from a drape and carpet store near the cafe she likes.
Don't tell Mettaton.]
but it's okay! we can make due! ibuki knows where to get some kind of fabric for makeshift, temporary yukata makings!
and that way, all the little animals can have a yukata of their own, too!! ones that match, even!!
[She also means the taxidermy.
What's a fun party without dead animals???]
no subject
Until next year, I guess.
[Orrrr until she remembers another type of occasion on which such things are typically worn and wants you to partake in that with her, too! You have... no reason to believe that isn't a possibility.
He is... saying that, but what that's actually out of finding light clothing uncomfortable either way.
And, well. Inevitable reluctance over kimono at all. Like -- once again! She's gonna get them involved. It is also inevitable! But... one associates them with patterns of pretty things like flowers and fish and imagery of paper screens and pink petals. He is not a "pretty" guy. And he's just starting to ease into being a "decorated" one.
...Animal dress-up, however, that, he can get right the fuck behind.]
Well yeah if you're supposed to go to the festival dressed up proper it would SUCK if they had to show up in nothing at all or your birthday party clothes!!!
We can't have that, right????
[A fun party without dead animals is certainly by some degree less of a fun party.
Therefore, it is underachieving.]
