...actually maybe it still will because she actually said yes? Admittedly he was kinda worried by how unsure she sounded at first, but he thinks everything's okay?]
Seriously? You will?
[He knows he should be subtle about his excitement, but he can't hide it at all. He especially can't hide the wide smile that's formed on his face. He can't help it! He's never had a date for anything. When you hardly even have any friends, dates are just a far-off dream. But here he is...scoring a date with a woman he really looks up to.
There's no way he can't smile like an idiot about that.]
That's great! Thank you, Alice-chi. I promise I'll make it worth it, for sure.
no subject
Okay, so...I'll get a dress and stuff. And we'll...go. Date. We're dates now.
[THAT SURE IS A THING, ALL RIGHT.]
Cool!
no subject
[He repeats it just to confirm that it's real. Holy crap. This is actually happening.
Promming intensifies.]
I can't wait to see what you pick out! I'll make sure to get something really classy. Whatever that means. I'll figure it out, I promise.
[He's just thanking the Fates that he has the money to buy something nice with.]
no subject
[It occurs to her, a second later, that she should probably clarify that.]
I'm gonna get something...black. You know, not reflective? Low visibility, good...
[PARKER YOU'RE GOING TO PROM, NOT ROBBING A BANK]
...style...
no subject
Yeah...black's usually good for formal stuff, right? That's the usual tux color and all...maybe I'll just go for a regular tux, so we can match. What d'you think?
no subject
[The fact that she's repeating herself like this isn't actually a result of her usual social failing (for once); believe it or not, it's because she's actually still kind of contending with the idea of having a date person thing to the prom and it's occupying the majority of her attention as a result.]
no subject
[Oh man he is basically in the same position, if it wasn't already apparent by the look of surprised bliss he's had on his face for the last couple minutes. A date. Imagine that.
...but then something hits him. An important thing.]
Hey Alice-chi? D'you think Ishimaru-chi and Oowada-chi are gonna be okay with this?
[He totally forgot to ask them about asking their sister on a date first. Whoops.]
no subject
I'll ask!
[Actually, she kind of wants to talk to Ishimaru about this, anyway; she's still feeling kind of weird and...feeling-y, and talking to him usually helps with that.]
If Ishimaru says it's okay then it should be fine. You know. Family and stuff. I don't think you have to get the whole family, just the...one family. Guy.
no subject
[Just when he thought he was out of the water, he has one more obstacle to deal with. Ugh, he's not sure if his heart can take this.
Please have faith in him, Ishimaru-chi.]
no subject
[Well, at least one of them seems reasonably happy about the prospect.]
I'm gonna go...do that. Then. Okay? And then, you know...dress and prom-y stuff. For the prom.
[God, just look at that kittyface.]
no subject
[He gives her a shaky smile.]
Even if Ishimaru-chi ends up saying no to it, thanks for saying yes, Alice-chi. I...I'm glad you think I'm good enough to go on a date with.
[After being told how useless and idiotic he is so many times, it's good to have some counters to that, y'know?]
