[His replies come a little slower now. Because . . . he is on a Flowerquest™.]

ok what kind of stuff do you wanna learn
it seems like you dont cuss so i wont teach you those
food maybe?

youre saying a lot of rly cute stuff
idk what i should say cuz i cant think of anything that cute
uh

i guess
i rly like and trust u too

[large dokis noticeable thru the oath. a little uncertainty, but mostly happiness and dokis.]

im glad its ok
im
probably gonna look at them ngl
ur really pretty
and u feel familiar
like
idk how to put it

[oh no]

loving u feels like something im used to
in a good way
something real comfortable

[oh NO]

yes yes yes i love food!!! u should def teach me food (∩❛ڡ❛∩)
and u should teach me some cute things i can call u too!!! (≧◡≦) ♡ like principessa but for a really handsome boy!!!

[She will not stop saying cute things, sorry.

The good news is that Mista manages to say something VERY cute when he stops trying so hard, and he can feel the emotional equivalent of Sayori getting the wind knocked out of her with dokis. Jesus Christ.

It takes her a second to remember words, and how to words.]

that was REALLY SUPER ROMANTIC AND CUTE so i dont think u ever need to worry about saying something cute enough for me (⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡
i feel the same way about you too
u feel safe... its rly nice (´;ω;｀)

idk ive never thought ab

[...]

[.....................]

ive never called a boy handsome before so ill have to think about it??? kinda embarrassing but ill figure it out
uh whats your fave food

[Heh. He knocked her out, huh? He feels pretty victorious about that, thanks.]

oh cool
i mean the saying romantic cute things and
the other thing

we probably went on dates right
like good ones
before we started you know

do u wanna go on a date

[you already fucking went on a date]

[............]

its kinda cute that u can send photos like that but ur embarrassed by handsome boy nicknames hehehe (.❛ ᴗ ❛.)

[SAYORI]

my fav food is cookies!!! i like lots of sweets ヾ(≧▽≦*)
i bet we ate cookies on our dates before too (︶ᴗ︶)✧

[Or something. She feels like cookies were something important?]

tho we kind of already went on one didnt we??? when u asked me to dinner after we danced!!!
but id love to go on another one (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

[SCREAMS????????]

[ok the rest of this conversation is on hold for now,,]

BC IVE NEVER USED THEM BEFORE
ive obviously sent photos like that before cuz u have like a hundred pics of my ASS

[why is he under attack he has never done anything wrong probably]

[this is not discouraging her!!!]

i dont think it was a HUNDRED
maybe if i count the ones that werent of your butt (ಡωಡ)

oh my fucking god

[mista.exe has crashed]

ur lethal wtf
i must be a masochist
theres stuff ur embarrassed about and im gonna find it and tease the hell out of you

doesnt masochist mean u like it??? if u like it then its fine right? (っ˘ω˘ς )
u probably already know my stuff tho
u just need to remember it!!!

.............. i GUESS

[He does kind of like it. This is a fact he is realizing. Which is also embarrassing.]

its hard to remember rn cuz i AM embarrassed
but i will
so watch out

actually hold on

[Time . . . to spelunk into the DM history.]

[Some time later:]

so u get really embarrassed when i say nice things about u apparently
even tho i do it a lot?

[She'd hope that she didn't hurt his feelings, except she can feel that she hasn't. Which is comforting and weird but not weird at the same time.]

(•⌒‿⌒•)~♡♡♡♡♡♡

[But she does hold on. Patiently. Curiously. It's only fair!]

oh

[Oh.]

well
maybe i never got used to it!
probably cuz i never thought that stuff about myself??? ╮(￣ω￣;)╭ so its always like a surprise!!!

[Hey: that's depressing. But it also feels accurate, and Mista feels safe to say it to.]

[There is a long pause.]

[Mista's feelings are sort of messy and jumbled during this pause.]

[Then:]

can i kiss you when i get there

[Sometime into the pause, Sayori feels a prickle of nervousness. She almost messed things up with Monika; maybe she's gone and done it here? She should probably be more careful about what she says.

The nerves are summarily suffocated, of course, with some superficial distraction.

There's relief when he messages back. Relief and giddiness. Her face is very warm.]

omg ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡
yes pls
u can kiss me as much as you want!!! ( ˘ ³˘)♥

ok
i got the flowers so im on my way to you now
in the meantime uh

off the top of my head heres some nice things abt u

u make me smile a lot
ur really safe to talk to
and soft
pretty
good w words
good dancer
buff shoulders
good hair, its real fluffy
and u have a cute laugh

ill come up w more soon thats just what ive got for now

[oh no

oh NO

it's sayori's turn not to answer immediately this time. because she's dead. this is actually a million times more embarrassing than the nudes.]

wow
i love you so much

[that's where we landed, huh?]

[Wow. Doki doki indeed.]

aw i love you too babe

[. . .]

[Wait.]

does this count as saying i love you the first time or not
probably not right
i just dont wanna say it over text if its the first time
but we already did
before
a lot
so its fine right?

[She does not have a single brain cell to spare for this question because Mista just nuked them all into orbit thirty seconds ago. But she will try.]

dw i dont think this counts as the first time!!! this isnt the first book in the series!!!
but
u know

you kinda said you loved me earlier anyway (๑/)u(\๑)

[mr. loving u feels like something im used to, jesus]

Edited (its too late for html) 2020-08-21 05:39 (UTC)

oh
oh fuck yeah i did
i didnt think about it cuz it just sort of came out of my mouth

fingers
w/e

im glad its ok anyway
im kinda scared of messing things up if u couldnt tell
u liked the other me so much i might not be as good

[oh...]

tbh im a little worried about that too bc i dont feel like im all those nice things you said ( ；´Д｀)
but...thats silly bc theres no other u or other me!!!
all the stuff i like about u is still there even if we cant remember it yet! i can feel it!!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و youre still the same mista to me!

[...hm. Has she said that before? She has, hasn't she?]

so u dont have to worry too much about messing anything up ok?
i remembered i loved you before i even remembered your name
so ill love you no matter what ♡(.◜ω◝.)♡

[You're still the same Mista to me.]

[Yeah. That's . . . he remembers that one. There's a distinct, soft, fond pulse through the Oath. It aches, but in a good way.]

ok
ill love you no matter what too

hey princess look up

[. . . oh, because there's Mista, coming up to the cabanas with — is that two bouquets? It's two bouquets. One of them is sunflowers and, well, orange flowers of some kind; he tried. The other is an even better bouquet, because it's edible.]

[Ah, good. There's cozy satisfaction in response — maybe a little too warm, like you've been under a blanket just a moment too long.

And then a ping of surprise. She looks up, as directed.

She stands up off the couch with her excitement, and then her eyes flick between Mista's hands, not entirely comprehending what she's seeing at first.] Huh? What's—

[...and then she smells them. The distinct combination of hot oil, sugar, and cinnamon.]

Are those churros??

Oh yeah.

[Boy oh boy, he's grinning. This is the greatest gift he's ever come up with. This is the greatest gift anyone has ever come up with. He is the god of gift giving. Nailed it.]

The lady down at the stall saw me with the flowers and said she'd make me a better bouquet instead of the regular-shaped ones, so what am I gonna do, say no?

[Juggling the bouquets in his arms, he offers her the greasy and sugary one.]

Wanna eat a flower?

[Sayori's eyes are absolutely sparkling. This is the greatest gift anyone has ever come up with.]

Oh my gosh.

[Astounding. Genius. Just totally awe-inspiring.

She gleefully receives the sugary snack bouquet, her eyes wide as they flick between the churros and Mista. Her struggle with whether to eat first or kiss first is overwhelming and embarrassingly obvious.

She goes with eating, though. She plucks a churro from the bouquet and admires it for just a moment before absolutely decimating it. Does she need to stick the whole flower shape in her mouth at once? No, but that's what she does, and she doesn't regret it at all.

True to form, she talks with her mouth full.] This is amazing.

[On the contrary, in Mista's opinion she actually does need to do that. Otherwise how will she know if she can? It occurs to him that he should try it too, but he'll wait until she offers him one.]

[In the meantime, he solves her quandary for her. Or at least obeys his first instinct, which is to lean in and give her a peck on the lips. It's not very romantic, but it is tasty, and it allows him to grin smugly and lick sugar off his mouth.]

Yeah, it is, huh?

[God, vote him off the island.]

[He's so benevolent, relieving her of the burden of this dilemma. It didn't occur to her to both eat and kiss. Mista is just on a roll with genius ideas, so unfortunately, he will not be voted off today.

It does kill her a little bit to see him lick the sugar off and realize he just stole that right off of her mouth, though. Her face goes red under her wide eyes and a flustered giggle works its way out of her.] If you wanted a taste you could've just said so!

[She plucks another churro from the bouquet and offers it out to him, guileless. Mostly.]

[The island remains disgusting for another day. He cheerfully takes his churro reward and follows Sayori's lead, sticking the whole flower in his mouth at once and biting it off.]

[He's got a sneaking suspicion what's going to happen next, but that's okay. For now he just makes a satisfied noise and chews. God, he never gets tired of these stupid things.]
