By the Garden, Thursday Evening

[intraspective]

Ino had spent a good while, today, contemplating the tickets she'd picked up and wondering if they were a good idea.

Because… really… Zack was dealing with quite a lot and in that light, wanting to go to the prom seemed like an almost stupid and childish idea. On the other hand, though, it might be a good distraction? Get him out and about a little more?

Thursday evening and now she was… pretty much out of extra time to make up her mind as to whether or not it was a good idea. Ino headed back to her garden, where they'd been sleeping for the week, with food from Ching Tai and when she spotted him practising with his—Angeal's—sword, took a moment to just admire the figure he cut before saying anything.

"You hungry?" she called. Food. Food was a good way to start things, right?

... Oh, who was she kidding? She'd rather ask and get it over with. Not being sure sucked.

[For the modded-with-permission puppy!]

Comments

[intraspective]

"I know," she replied lightly. "And I--I won't, uh, expect more than that? If we do get a hotel room. I just thought it was funny..."

And now she felt lame. Sigh.

Awww, Zack didn't intend to make her feel anything less than awesome!

And that was why he was leaning forward to kiss her cheek again.

"It was funny," he decided. "I just kinda felt silly for not knowing that, that's all."

[intraspective]

"It's not like you've had other proms," she said, giving him more reasons for not knowing. "And, seriously, I like the idea of staying over night at the hotel, just to sleep."

Not that the way they slept would do much to dispel any comments about how they were totally a couple. But whatever. They weren't sleeping together in anyway but a literal sense.

[puppy_fair]

It was bound to be an absolute puppy pile, just as other 'sleeping together' adventures before it.

"Well, then. It looks like we've got our Friday night all figured out."

[intraspective]

"Oh good," she said softly. "Then that's one thing to not worry 'bout at all."
