[Holding hands, covered in baking soda, ready to go pillow shopping. Truly, this is romance. But she'll follow along, of course; this is fine by her.]
Heh... yeah, I guess there were a lot of signs after all, I just wasn't reaaaally sure what I was looking for. I mean, I've never done this before, but... it feels right, so that's okay, I think.
[She's happy with this.]
Red and blue, red and blue...got it! If we can't get a two-toned pillow in a place like Cerealia, where can you? I mean, aside from a pillow store.
Is it weird that I'm kinda glad you've never done this before? [Part of him thinks maybe they should actually make an attempt to clean up but whatever, most of the baking soda will probably wear off as they walk. Out of the apartment they go...] All of this is going to be okay.
[It's hard to say if he's telling her, or he's trying to convince himself. Deep breaths, Hiro.] Lucky for us, I think there's a pillow store in the shopping district. [His free hand comes up to rub the back of his neck.] And then pancakes. [That seems to be the plan he's going with, and as long as she's okay with that? Then that's how they'll spend their afternoon.
Nah, I'm kinda glad too. It just means that now I know for sure it's special! [She's still a little awkward, but she's trying really hard, okay... she shuffles a bit, offering up a sheepish smile.] I mean uh-- yeah. It's... it's sort of like how excited I get for weapons except different too, so it's weird, but... nothing that's ever happened before.
[Good job, guys.
Focus on the plan, Ruby!! The plan!]
Yeeees good. Pancakes after all! [Even after they set things on fire.] I'm totally ready for this plan.
[The apartment gets locked and he laughs suddenly, even if it's just a short, quick burst.] I know I'm always going to be second-best when it comes to Crescent Rose. But maybe this is a case being special's not a bad thing.
[And that's all he says. The plan's a good thing and instead of verbally replying, he tightens his grip on her hand and takes the lead this time. They're going to be totally, completely fine and thus end up spending the next couple of hours looking for the perfect pillow and eating pancakes while still mostly covered in baking soda.]
