[the chorus of blondie's CALL ME, sung extremely poorly but with great enthusiasm]

No, actually, she looks rather pleased as she approaches, with two hands behind her back. She brings one hand forward to display ... Parfait Girls, Volume 1! ]
Look!
[ She's so earnestly excited. ]
no subject
Yo! It's the thing — it's the thing!
[Genius.]
Where'd you get it?
no subject
I got it for doing that initiation test thing.
But now you can read it! [ She holds it out for him to take. ]
no subject
That's so cool! That's awesome.
[And he proceeds to open it from the back, like an idiot Westerner.]
[? ? ?]
no subject
Careful! If you bend it or crease any of the pages, you'll be sorry.
[ She takes it back from him, CAREFULLY, and turns it around the right way. ]
You have to read it right to left.
no subject
Right to left . . . ?
[After a moment of pouting, he opens it from the back with exaggerated care.]
This is weird. [Although, after turning a couple pages, he points excitedly.] Hey, that's the girl! The one with your hair thing!
no subject
[ And she smiles a little when he recognizes the hair accessory. ] Yeah. That's Alice. She's pretty cool, but that one -- [ She sets down the other mystery box she's carrying behind her back in order to point to another character, Minori, who's currently being introduced by tripping all over herself and landing flat on her face ] --is my favorite character.
no subject
[He literally didn't know this, I'm sorry Natsuki. He beckons her close and gestures for her to sit instead of hover over him and, in doing so, misses the box for the moment. For Now.]
That one? What's her name? What's she do?
no subject
[ You can just tell by her voice that this is something she loves talking about, that she wishes she could talk to more people about but hasn't had anyone who'd listen -- so she can't seem to shut up about it now that the gates have been opened. ]
She's really unlucky, so she's always tripping -- see? -- and running into stuff and just generally attracting all kinds of misfortune. It's really funny. There's even this part where she --
[ She cuts off. ]
Well, I guess that's kind of a spoiler. Anyways, you should see for yourself! It's funnier that way, anyways. [ She gestures to the book, indicating he should keep reading ]
no subject
Okay, okay. I'm goin'.
[He wants to anyway! It does take him a minute, genuinely, to get the hang of reading this way, but after a while he does get it down, after which there's no stopping him. After a while, he starts keeping a count out loud of Minori tripping over and/or running into stuff. It's a bunch.]
no subject
As Mista reads, now that he's let her sit next to him, she's reading along with him, and even snickering a little at the funniest parts. At one point, she even says out loud, with a laugh: ]
Oh, man. I forgot about this part! It's been awhile since I re-read ...
no subject
Oh yeah? I always rewatch my favorite movie like. I dunno. Once a month or something.
no subject
[ Writing poems and getting ready for the festival, and all!
The fact that he's still reading this and seems into it makes her curious, so: ]
What's your favorite movie?
no subject
[oh boyo]
It's called Pretty Woman. You ever heard of it? It's about this real cutthroat corporate guy who hires a call girl to pretend to be his girlfriend for a week, except she's way smarter than him in pretty much every way. They don't get each other at all at first, but then they fall in love and end up kind of saving each other. It's incredible.
[He is . . . very fond and misty-eyed when he describes this dumb movie. It really holds a special place in his heart, because he's a dweeb.]
no subject
No, I haven't heard of it, but ... Somehow, I'm not really surprised that that's your favorite movie?
no subject
[He gives her kind of a confused look? But a pleased one.]
Most people are. [But then again, most people he's told in the past are probably surprised because their first impression of him was him like. Shooting a guy in the face.]
no subject
[ LMFAO ]
And it sounds really cheesy, and you're kind of a dork, so.
[ She shrugs, as though this is immutable fact and she can't do anything about it. ]
no subject
[He doesn't even put that much effort into sounding offended, though. Like, he knows she's right.]
I dunno, I just like love stories. What's wrong with that? [Intense stare. Nothing, Natsuki, there are love stories in your manga too! Haha! Hahaha!]
no subject
There's nothing wrong with that part of it.
no subject
[He turns back to the book with a satisfied grin.]
We both have awesome taste.
no subject
Well, if you think that's great, then you're definitely gonna like this more.
no subject
[Big talk. Still, he definitely is gonna keep reading! He's actually very hooked in the story and won't stop unless she tells him to. He's perfectly content to read the whole volume through, with occasional color commentary.]
no subject
[ And she's content enough to just read along with him, so she won't be telling him to stop anytime soon. ]
no subject
[It’s pretty comfortable, anyway. And a huge relief after Wonderland to just chill out and read for a while with a cool mean gal. They get to the end sooner than he expected, and he closes it with mixed feelings.]
That was really good. But I wanna know what happens next. [:///]
no subject
Well, the good news is that there's fourteen more books, and I have all of them.
[ FOURTEEN. DAMN. But she pauses, suddenly looking surprised. ]
Wow, we finished the whole thing ... I guess I lost track of time.
