004 // it's the most shoujo time of the year
[Normally, Xiaolang doesn't do this.
Normally, Xiaolang's much more tight-lipped about his personal life, his romantic matters, because... well. He's a fourteen year old boy, an easily embarrassed one at that, and he'd die before giving people ammo to tease him with!!
But his amplified Wood Monkey traits-- hard-working, curious, and communicative-- has worn down his barriers quite a bit, leading him to post something under li xiaolang that he's probably going to regret come the twilight hours:]
What's something good to do with someone for Valentine's Day? Or what's something romantic you'd like someone to do for you?
[... ... ... is he making a Valentine's date idea list? Yes. Is he going to try to do all of them? EXTRA YES.]

Yeah, seeing what pieces they think is interesting is always cool. They have to be pretty important or unique for the curators to single them out of the rest of the items they receive. I haven't been there in a while, so I'm sure they must have added a lot of new things since then...
[But then he notes the name on the reply, and even though there's that weird S at the end... well. It matches up well enough with the person Sakura had mentioned a little while back, anyway.]
Um... this might sound weird, but-- did you get involved with those weird ornament things back in December? With a girl my age?
private
Oh, you mean Sakura? Are you her boyfriend? She said she had a boyfriend (though not in so many words). Is this why you're asking these questions?
no subject
... also thanks, Rinka, he's going complete tomato mode over here, and it's taking him a bit to reply to this properly without keysmashing everywhere]
Y
Yeah, I'm her
her boyfriend
[SMOOTH-- though that dumb monkey curiousity can't help but have him ask:]
Did she say something in particular about me?
[DOES HE WANT TO KNOW]
no subject
And that she's not sure what she'd do without you~
1/?? SORRY ERICA
2/??
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]
3/4
HE CAN'T WITH THESE FEELS RIGHT NOW]
DONE
I
I see.
[Wow, A+ response there, Xiaolang]
Did she really say all that? That... she didn't know what to do without me?
<3
Word for word. I remember because it wasn't said in a flippant way. It was really heartfelt.
no subject
... but crap, he was blushing again, and he had to force himself to maintain his composure. It was almost a year since they started dating, and he still got gobsmacked over the fact that she, somehow, loved him just as much in return.]
... it's the same for me, too. I wouldn't know what to do without her, either. She's a very precious person to me.
[Which he knows first-hand, thanks to her disappearing for a few weeks in September-- but he quickly realizes how gushy he's becoming, and he quickly switches gears so he doesn't embarrass himself further.]
Um, anyway-- I just wanted to say thank you for looking out for her when that happened. She said nothing dangerous happened, but with the way Retrospec is, sometimes...
no subject
I don't know if I would have been any help if something had happened. I'd only just gotten the app that month. Though I absolutely would have fought a bear for her.
no subject
She has that sort of effect on people. But that's also because she'd probably try to make friends with the bear, first...
[He means it with love, really. But he knows Sakura, and he knows her total unawareness when it comes to danger...]
So you've been on the app since December, then?
no subject
Ahhhhh, so she's the kind of person wants to make friends with everyone?
[It's not the approach Rinka generally takes toward people, but she admires those that do.]
November actually. Got it about halfway through the month and found the city had been turned into a corn maze.
no subject
[Though she's certainly cute like a panda... not that he could say that to her face without nearly exploding, but--]
... you're lucky you only had to deal with the latter half. The first part of that month... to say it was a nightmare is putting it lightly. You saw all the monsters around, right?
no subject
Monsters? What monsters?
no subject
There was... a virus, of sorts, that was going around in the beginning of October. It turned a lot of people on the app into different creatures, like vampires and ghosts and... werewolves, to name a few. It was really contagious, and even spread to people off the app, and... well.
Like I said, you were lucky to have avoided that. Though the corn mazes were pretty annoying, too.
no subject
That sounds like a Halloween movie marathon gone horrifically wrong.
