Room 504, Thursday Early Evening

[intraspective]

Ino was currently sitting cross-legged on her bed, already in her pajamas, and brushing her hair out. Scattered on her bed were several other combs and various clips and hair ties.

It had been a pretty awesome week. All her classes were fun and now she was pretty much free until Monday to do whatever she wanted. At the moment though Ino was pretty content just to be brushing her hair, humming under her breath, while idly wondering if A.J. would show up like they'd arranged on Saturday.

The door was open.

[Open!]

"I'm not sweet," she told him, with a little foot stomp to express her opinion of this, "not even if you say so."

"So you're calling me a liar?" A.J. counted, with a pout, even though he knew Ino couldn't see it from where she was.

[intraspective]

"I'm not sweet!" Ino protested again, side-stepping the whole liar thing.

"Well, I didn't say that," A.J. pointed out, if she was going to play it like that. "I said you were a sweetheart. They're...slightly different."

[intraspective]

"How so?" The expression on her face would probably say it all if he could see it.

"Well, with one, it's like..." It was very quickly that A.J. trailed off, mouth quirked slightly with a complete lack of thought processes, and he sighed. "Okay, maybe they are pretty much the same, but they're still true. You're letting me play with your hair. That's sweet. And you said I'm cute. Also sweet."

[intraspective]

"The hair playing is entirely selfish on my part - I like having it played with - and you are cute. It's obvious. I don't get how that makes me sweet."

"How about," A.J. said, with a slightly overdramatic sigh, "we just say it's subjective, then? And you are, because I think you are. But I won't tell anyone if you, apparently, want to keep it a secret."

[intraspective]

"I can live with that," Ino admitted, "I mean, it'd be a pain if everyone knew. Totally ruin my reputation. I don't want people taking advantage of me."

"I won't say a word," A.J. said, briefly freeing a hand to place it sincerely against his chest. "No one will know, I promise."

[intraspective]

"I'll know who to blame if everyone finds out." Ino teased.
