[ These two aren't exhausted by missions in far off regions, but they are on a much needed girl's night out to catch up with each other. They're right outside Café Étoile, the fated place, and Chiyo points at the entrance—or the stairs leading up to the entrance. ]
Anya, do you want to go in? I think you'll really love it. It's supposed to be a cafe where you can look at the stars. The only thing is... I heard it was couples night tonight?
[ Chiyo isn't opposed since she loves love, but she doesn't know if it'd affect Anya's idol image? ]
[Anya's eyes light up at the mention of the stars, as they always do, and she hums a pleased note as a result. There's a moment of contemplation at the note of a couples night - ]
Couples? Oh! Like.... Скидка? Special Offer?
[Well.
She offers one arm out to Chiyo then like a proper gentlelady, her other hand coming up to press a finger to her lips.]
[ Chiyo mirrors Anya with a finger to her own lips and grins. ]
Such a gentlelady...! [ Giggling, Chiyo places her hand on Anya's arm before changing her mind three seconds later and intertwines their fingers together instead. ] But gentlepeople don't go on secret trysts.
[ Up the stairs they go! Chiyo looks around once they reach the top, her eyes bright. This is her first time there, but she's glad it's exactly like she imagined it. She wants it to be a good time for Anya, too. ]
This is rea— [ Her mouth forms a small 'o'. ]
Anya! [ A hushed whisper. Chiyo points at a certain pair at a certain table.
[ Chiyo covers hour mouth with her hands. That may have been a little too loud.
Also, maybe a waitress or a hostess is trying to flag them down to seat them, but Chiyo's too focused on two good boys being good together. She looks at Anya with sparkles in her eyes. ]
Do you think so? [ A quieter, normal volume. ] You know, Daisuke told me had a crush on someone.... Do you think...? Could it be? Is it—
[ Is Daisuke confessing for real?
(Is that the smallest of small pangs Chiyo feels in her chest? Maybe she hoped to be confided in again before he made his move... ) But she's excited!! Daisuke and Tsukasa look cute together. ]
I didn't know they knew each other that well, but I'm happy for them!
Edited (I REALIZED THEY'RE ALL IN THE ART CLUB) 2018-03-08 05:27 (UTC)
[ - this poor hostess. Anya catches her and geeeently guides Chiyo over to their table so that they don't make a bigger scene standing there and whispering. Still, she's totally engaged?!]
Daisuke too? Tsukasa also...!
[Anya looks back at the table, back at Chiyo, and then once again.]
Удивление.... Anya did not know too. Tsukasa said he had a crush, but he always said "she"....? Maybe I did not understand?
[SHE'S NOT QUITE SURE - ]
If they are happy, I am happy! I told Tsukasa to confess - maybe he is doing it now?
[ Chiyo is easily guided and seated. She even makes a pretense of opening the menu even though she's not looking down at it all. She uses it like a shield, as if Daisuke or Tsukasa could look over at them any moment. ]
She?
[ Oh, hmm, that does throw a wrench into things. She doesn't think Anya would mishear or that Tsukasa would misspeak. Maybe he was too embarrassed or scared to say...? ]
I can't say I know what he meant by that.... maybe I'll ask him about it in a few days? But if he confesses... this is a great spot to do it. It's very romantic! The mood is perfect, and they were both away on that big mission, weren't they? Maybe they realized after going through that much work, now is finally the time...!
[ Nothing tells you that it's time to confess like danger! ]
[Anya will even scoot over so that she's closer to Chiyo, one one side of the table so that they can continue to whisper together. Maybe the staff will think it's cute that these two girlfriends always want to be close to each other.]
Time not together makes the heart grow warmer....? That is what they say, yes?
[ehhhh she got most of it.
But Anya just nods along with that - ] I understand. Посещения... Tsukasa visited Anya on the 15th when everyone came back. I was happy to see him again after so long.
But if I knew that he wanted to see his crush instead - he should have told Anya...!
[ Chiyo knows what Anya's trying to say, and that's all that matters. Understanding is the key to a great relationship, after all. ]
Maybe.... maybe he was feeling too shy to see his crush? Or if he already made promises to see people if he had a day off, he wanted to keep his promises! Maybe he wanted to visit you to gain bravery!
[ Hmm... there's something off about this logic. It's niggling at the back of her head, but she can't put her finger on it. Hmm... ]
Anya blinks in confusion at that - get in trouble...?? How does that make any sense? Why would he get in trouble for saying?]
Странный... Boys are very odd... You should have said it would be more trouble if he did not tell you.
[don't be mean, anya. she's probably teasing though, as it's coupled with a smile afterward. when she's given the mirroring question, she hums.]
Tsukasa's crush... he writes poetry for her - them? [she's not sure anymore.] He said that she is very warm, but very busy, so I did not get to meet her yet because of that. And he said that she and Anya are alike...? But I think that is a very funny thing to say!
[ if chiyo confessed right now, i bet anya would reject her ]
You know what, I should have!
[ She laughs softly. If she told Dave that he was breaking her heart for not telling her that John was his boyfriend, she could definitely tell Daisuke that it troubles her if he doesn't tell her who his crush is as a joke.
Unfortunately, Chiyo is not so dense when it comes to other people that the description doesn't strike her as odd. She looks over at Tsukasa, looks at Anya, and back. It's a huge leap of logic, but... Tsukasa told her he was home-schooled, so how many very busy girls like Anya could he have met....?
She'll have to ask him. She could be wrong, but if she's right, that'd be sad for Daisuke?
That's no good. ]
Hmm... boys are very odd is right! I don't think it's a funny thing to say, but if the person he likes is like you, then she must be a great person! You want Tsukasa's crush to return his feelings, right?
[ If she's right, that'd be sad for Tsukasa, too?
Hm. This is troubling. This is almost as upsetting as that brief period way back when Yukine had a crush on Anya and she found out Anya liked Yuri.
Chiyo actually looks at the menu shielding them from two boys' view and regrets it because the desserts look delicious, and she is weak.
She hums, too, thoughtful. ]
You know, that's really possible! Really, really possible! I like that. I want to believe in this reason the most. [ Her chest feels a little lighter, considering it. There are fewer romantic complications in this theory. ] But... Anya, you say it's silly, but would you say no to him? If it were you?
Still though, that's something that she hadn't considered - why would she, when Tsukasa said multiple times that he liked someone else that she didn't know? He doesn't seem like the type to lie to her.
But she pauses at the question.]
... Mm? If it were Anya....?
[In what kind of STRANGE WORLD would that happen.
There's a "yes" resting on the tip of her tongue, despite what she'd just said. She doesn't have a crush on Tsukasa. It would be wrong and unfair to agree to dating to him when that hasn't happened - right? Someone's feelings should absolutely be returned.
... but.
If he didn't have a crush on someone else. And he still was so kind to her, and held her hand, and got her thoughtful gifts, and made time to see her on the day that he had off as a break.
She hesitates.
(That's pretty big in itself.)]
.... Коварная.... How do I say... that does not sound smart to think about....? Tricky... maybe.
[ The hesitation is big when Chiyo knows Anya is straightforward and honest when it comes to love. That makes Chiyo look at Anya even more closely and focus less on keeping the menu shield up (it falls down). ]
Anya? Why is it tricky? There's nothing wrong with saying no, but... isn't it okay to think about? What are you thinking about?
[And Anya has no reason to believe that he'd lie to her? ... except maybe the nerves, the pressure, and maybe that's why he couldn't tell her. Anya does tend to be smarter than people think, if only for her attention to detail. Now she's not sure what to believe.]
If I were to say yes to him... that would mean I like him back. But -
[Her brow furrows and she makes a hand weighing gesture. She glances to one empty palm - ] I cannot like Tsukasa if he likes someone else. Недобросовестная. That is not fair.
[She turns to the other palm.] But if it is really Anya....
[ Chiyo completely puts the menu down, so she can place one hand in Anya's "I cannot like Tsukasa if he likes someone else" palm. ]
Yes, you can. Liking someone isn't so simple that you can just stop your feelings like that. At least that's what I believe. That's how I've felt before. [ Even if they were only fleeting crushes from a long time ago on nameless someones. ] Maybe it won't end happy for everyone, but... that doesn't mean it's wrong to like someone who likes someone else. It'll just be tough.
[ She lifts Anya's other palm with her other hand. ]
But this is really just a what if question, you know? You already said he said differently, and we can't read Tsukasa's mind. Why he's here or why he's here with Daisuke... do we really know the reason why?

Absolutely nothing is wrong.

A lot like.
Two familiar boys at a different table? Anya gasps softly at their appearance together - it's couples night? And they're here so... they must be - ]
Знакомства...?! [That's a RUSH OF A WHISPER even as she turns back to Chiyo and presses excited - ] They are dating?
{ANYA NO.]

Friends are just as important as crushes!

This truth that must be stated. ]

Bu she nods at that.]
That is true... Tsukasa also saw his best friend that day. I hope I did not take too much of his time....
[oh girls.]
Тип человека? Do you know what Daisuke's crush is like? Maybe it will be a clue....
no subject
Chiyo opens her mouth, closes it. Her brows furrow. Her mind rewinds back to that day Daisuke practiced confessing, and this is all she can recall: ]
I... remember asking him what they were like... and who it was, but he said he felt like he'd get in trouble if he said, so I didn't push him.
[ She let him steer the conversation away from him and his crush LIKE A FOOL. ]
He was very vague and seemed kind of uncomfortable when I asked.
[ It was a little strange, but what could she do? ]
Did Tsukasa tell you what his crush is like?
no subject
Anya blinks in confusion at that - get in trouble...?? How does that make any sense? Why would he get in trouble for saying?]

Конечно! Of course! I told Tsukasa this also. When he is happy, Anya is happiest.
[She glances back over to the other table and hums softly - ] I did not ask who she is... but Tsukasa told me that I do not know her?
Still, it would be silly to say no to Tsukasa. Замечательно. He is wonderful.
Maybe he and Daisuke are looking for good date places together?
