[negativism]

it's fine if you say I am, I won't be any harder on you if you say so

but if you're sure

and I mean it on that. my whole job revolves around protecting someone but it's the only part of my work life I want to bleed over into my personal one. because I do want to do that for more people than just my boss

though, real talk?

this is probably the first time I've felt like this in a while.

[complementing]

[Minako's heartbeat picks up upon reading that, her face darkening in a blush even as she tells herself very sternly to stop it, right now.]

I guess I kind of unwittingly signed you up for that with me, the night I asked you to escort me to my car

sorry?

[negativism]

don't be
I was more than happy to help with that

honestly I'm p. sure if I saw those guys bothering you again I either would've let you go to town since they clearly didn't learn their lesson.

or maybe step in myself but like I said, that just goes back into the whole 'protect people I like' thing

it's not a slight against your abilities at all

[complementing]

don't worry, I understand that now!!

I'm really happy that you think I'm capable enough already hehe

and...not all those things I mentioned

sorry again for freaking out （꒪꒫꒪；）

but more than that thank you for caring about me

[negativism]

You had a good start, I'm just helping build off it. You should really thank your original kickboxing instructor

it's fine, Mina. Honest.

and

[ Don't choke don't choke don't choke- ]

you're an amazing person. never forget that. unless you want me to keep reminding you every now and again?

[complementing]

hey anyone can teach the basics, you're the one helping me get better!

and um

I mean I wouldn't mind it at all, I think anyone would like to hear that they're amazing from time to time, especially from

well

an equally amazing person who believes in you

but don't feel like you have to!!! Only when you mean it!

[negativism]

I wouldn't mind at all. I'm technically doing it now, aren't I?
besides, it's a nice reassurance to know that you're considered amazing by someone that you admire and like.

[complementing]

you're going to make me spontaneously combust from all of these compliments (灬ᗒ 艸ᗕ灬)

[immediately regrets that text after she sends it though because WHY WOULD SHE ADMIT SHE'S EMBARRASSED HASN'T THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION BEEN EMBARRASSING ENOUGH???]

UM

ANYWAYS

if YOU ever need the reminder

I'll tell you whenever you need to hear it too! (✩´꒳`✩)

David you're amazingggg (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

though I bet you don't hehe, bodyguards have to have a lot of confidence right?

speaking of which, I'm not interrupting you in the middle of work, am I???

[negativism]

Not my intention, I promise!

[ ... goddammit why is she so cute. pictured: David's internal monologue ]

But thank you.

Oh, that? Nah, if anything this gives me something to do. Yoon-sung's keeping busy, which makes my life generally easier by default.

[complementing]

[And Minako's side of it.]

omg definitely need to give you something better to do than read my rambling

uhmmmm

wanna play a game?

[negativism]

It's fine, I'm okay with reading your rambling

But sure, why not?

[ Smooth. ]

[complementing]

really?? (,,꒪꒫꒪,,) okay but don't say I didn't warn you!!

my favorite text game is shiritori since it's so quick but since you're bored, let's play would you rather instead

I'll go first!

would you rather...go to the movies, or go to the gym?

[negativism]

Alright

Movies, I like going to the gym, but the movies can be more fun.

Would you rather eat out or eat in?

[complementing]

that's a hard one...I like cooking so trying out new recipes is always a lot of fun, and it's cathartic, all that banging on pots and pans when I need to destress

but eating out is great too because I can focus on talking with friends while someone else cooks, and it's nice to be able to try different styles of cooking without doing it myself and realizing I don't like how it tastes or wasting ingredients because I messed up

sooo eating out!

speaking of eating out, would rather be given free five star meals for you and your plus one for the rest of your life, or have an unlimited first class ticket to travel the world for just you instead?

[negativism]

That's a good reason. I can cook but it's really only the basics, and, well - we don't talk about Yoon-sung's cooking abilities. Or lack thereof.

I did enough moving around as a kid with my old man in the service, and honestly I'd rather share travel experiences. So I'd rather go with the five-star meals with someone else, plus I think I figured out who I might want to try that with.

Anyway

Would you rather go out to a club or hang out at the beach?

[complementing]

oh, have you? Too bad I can't actually give you a lifetime of free five-star meals then... (´•ω•`๑)

if you need catering for a picnic lunch, though, come visit Arisato Kitchens, I'll whip something up for you and your someone else! As a thank you to you

the beach! Clubbing every once in a while is fun, but I love the sun and the sand and beach volleyball

and s'mores, lots of s'mores

would you rather go to a concert or go to a karaoke bar?

[negativism]

I mean you could if you wanted to



[ and we're quickly typing out more to cover that up - ]

And never underestimate the pull of free food, especially if you know the chef.

But yeah, I definitely get the appeal for the beach over the club. Stargazing on the beach with a bonfire's something I haven't done in a long time, honestly.

Hm, tough one. I like both, and I've had a good time getting in the middle of a crowd to scream my lungs out at a concert, but at the same time... I've got some good dumb memories doing karaoke with a bunch of friends. It's also some of the best blackmail material that I've accumulated of them too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So we'll go with that.

Would you rather take long walks or stay in?

[complementing]

[David, texting means that your answer is still there no matter how fast you text the next parts...]

a lifetime of free meals is a lot, you know! You get that one picnic lunch instead (๑ゝڡ◕๑)

stargazing would be really fun...I'll have to see if I have time to do that tonight, I think the new moon is coming up ☆彡 and okay WOW, I was going to invite you to go to karaoke with me since I want to see what kind of singer you are but I don't want to be blackmailed (((o(*≧□≦)o)))

also, long walks


with someone who doesn't mind me rambling if I need to ramble


would you rather eat really big meals or have smaller meals with snacks in between

since I'm brainstorming a menu for you right now

do you have anything you absolutely won't eat? Allergies?

[negativism]

that's fine, I'm still pulling you out with me for it

and you wouldn't get potentially blackmailed, that's more to keep the guys from embarrassing me later on. you'd be safe.

though it looks like I'd be your guy for that ;)

smaller meals with snacks, just in case. it's a habit with work.

I'm pretty flexible with whatever, no known allergies, though. so even if you've got a new recipe you want to test out of be more than fine bring the guinea pig

[complementing]

just to make sure that I'm not misunderstanding are you inviting me out to the picnic lunch that I'm making for you and saying we should take a long walk together somewhere after that?

[negativism]

yes?

[complementing]

would you rather go tomorrow or on Friday?

[negativism]

Friday would probably work better, I have something resembling a normal work schedule that day

Would you rather have me stop by earlier or later in the evening?

[complementing]

later! I have a closing shift at the Confectionary

though...hm. If this is going to be a picnic dinner then I need to go all out

would you rather go to the beach or go to the hills?

so we can try for some stargazing after dinner and our walk?

[negativism]

Both would be nice, but it's been a while since I've been to the beach. Might as well try to get in some time out there before it gets too cold.

Would you rather I bring anything with or just come on my own?
