So I hear you can't tell the difference between a 'date' and 'hanging out.'

text

[rassera]

[Kaneda is literally in line to get some food at a convenience store when the text hits. So when looking at it, he looks up at the line, then back down.

Blink blink.]

is this a quiz on my dating life

text

[failureisntachoice]

Yes and so far you're failing it.

text

[rassera]

sorry to disappoint ive already got a date

text

[failureisntachoice]

Yeah, I know.

Except you can't seem to figure out what 'dating' actually is, but expect her to know.

text

[rassera]

the hell are you talking about

[Look he's stepping out of line for American candy for this that is his level of dedication.]

text

[failureisntachoice]

I'm talking about you bitching about hanging out and dating are completely different than not saying crap about how.

text

[rassera]

what the hell were you listening in on our conversation are you her mom or something

[Oh yeah, punctuation and capitalization aren't a thing with this one.]

i thought kissing was obvious

text

[failureisntachoice]

Yeah, I am. [ No, she's not, but might as well screw with him. ]

And I like how you could tell me that, but telling her was impossible. Off to a great start.

text

[rassera]

someone obviously never got a kiss on their date dont project your damn feelings onto me


she knew what a date was i thought shed know what kissing was

text

[failureisntachoice]

Kid, you really want to play that game?

So you're going to force her to kiss you.

[rassera]

(1/4) sorry did that hurt a little getting things assumed about you cause join the damn club

(2/4) what the hell kind of person do you think i am im just saying its a thing that happens on dates

(3/4) the hell am i even justifying this to you for

(4/4) i dont even know you

text

[failureisntachoice]

You'll get to know me pretty damn quick if you fuck this up. And I don't know what the hell kind of person you are besides you throwing bullshit at her and expecting her to know what you mean.

text

[rassera]

[The urge to just tell Tex to fuck off is so strong right now, and in fact, he types it out multiple times, only to delete it and type it again.

Finally he erases it completely and sends something else.]

sure seemed quick to jump to me forcing myself on her for someone who doesnt know a damn thing about me

she didnt ask

text

[failureisntachoice]

Then maybe you should learn to read what you type before sending it off.

Don't care, you should be clear. She's new at this and if you jerk her around, we'll be having more chats.

text

[rassera]

itd help if it wasnt in fucking english

[He has the magic of a Japanese keyboard that translates to English on sending. YEAH TECHNOLOGY.]

go get that stick out of your ass

shell be fine were friends

text

[failureisntachoice]

Friends that are trying to date.

So like I said. Fuck up and you'll find that stick up my ass shoved down your throat.

text

[rassera]

(1/4) friends going on a date

(2/4) its different because its one date not multiple

(3/4) happy



(4/4) bite me

text

[failureisntachoice]

I'll pass because it sounds like you're full of shit.

[ Never mind a grown woman is having an argument via text with a teenage boy. ]

Just behave and keep it safe. I'm sure you already know she's died once here.

text

[rassera]

[There's a long pause between her text and his response. All the cursing and peacocking taken out of his answer when it finally sends.]


i know

text

[failureisntachoice]

Good. There's a lot of assholes out there and she's trusting.

I don't want to see that happen again.

1/2 text

[rassera]

well im an asshole no promises on that front

[but ]

[I'm Kaneda. is what he wants to say. But that's probably not really a reason, is it? Not to someone who didn't know what he'd done--what he COULD do.

There's a quick erase of that, retyping.]

but ill look after her

2/2

[rassera]

[Two seconds later another text sends.]

by the way you got me out of line for american candy so i have to settle for vending machine crap whats better

doritos or fritos

[failureisntachoice]

I've already got the watching her part covered.

[ And she's not 100% sure she can trust some seventeen year old, motorcycle rider to take care of Maya. ]

And here we just call it candy. Get doritos.

[rassera]

i couldnt tell

[She's not entirely wrong--its not like he has much proof right now, especially with how Ken's situation worked out. And he's not looking for anyone to vouch for him.]

doritos it is
