[ it's during it now, just for you and val ]

That's good! Just wanted to check up on you
Does that mean you better about your situation? Even a little bit?

[wheft]

[ 🥺 ]

My situation? You mean

Oh

Wriothesley and I are fine. We're still friends, at least. I should be thankful that we're both satisfied with where we are now.

[picky]

[ Marcille sits up in her bed and drops facedown into her pillow. YOU TWO. ]

I'm glad you guys are friends too.
You still have feelings for him though, right?
And you know he still likes you?

[wheft]

[ GIRL.............. ]

I... Yes. I do like him. And while I do have an inkling that the feelings may be mutual... I don't know how to break it to him. And there's also a chance that I could be wrong all this time and that he only sees me as a friend.

[ a friend who wouldn't see himself make out with other people except her. this shit's so dire ]

[picky]

[ DOES SHE JUST

TELL HER WHAT WRIOTHESLEY TOLD HER

SHE IS SO TEMPTED ]

I get it. I don't think there's really going to be a good time for it, you know? It's just whenever you feel brave enough.
Do you think it'd change your relationship if he rejected you? I don't think he's that kind of person.

[wheft]

Of course it will! There's a lot at stake here. We can remain friends after that, sure, but it's going to be awkward from here on out. We might even start drifting away the more this goes on. I don't know if I can put up with that.

[ having a crush fucking sucks, bro........... ]

[picky]

You don't really know that for sure!


But even the possibility is scary, huh?
What made you think he likes you back anyway?

[wheft]

He...

[ hmm. how does she put this without exposing the guy...... ]

He said something. About how he has no plans of doing this one thing with other people except with me. That's enough for me to figure it out, but I still wish he'd say it outright.

[picky]

[ HELLO? THAT'S SO OBVIOUS!!!! ]

[picky]

[ Be cool, Marcille. Try and stay calm. ]

That sounds pretty romantic to me already...
What was that one thing?

[wheft]

I can't tell you. You're just going to have to imagine it.

[ is it really that obvious... help............... ]

[picky]

Then I'm gonna have to assume he's talking about kissing.
Am I right?

[ she's baiting ishmael to give her the real answer but also. what if. ]

[wheft]

[ ...

✅ Read 10:36am. ]

[picky]

Ishmael?
Maybe you're busy
I'll wait

[wheft]

[ oh yeah she doesn't get the concept of being left on read.... rip.... ]

I'm back. Um.

Well, you're the one who assumed it is and not me. So let's go with that for now.

[ and he did mention making out. that's way too different from average kissing. she's jumping through so many hoops here, help her ]

[picky]

[ when she learns what it is later it's rip ishmael ]

Ishmael...
If he DID say that he wouldn't kiss anyone but you
He DEFINITELY likes you.

[ She does not even need Wrio's texts for this. ]

[wheft]

[ falls onto her knees metaphorically...... well at least she doesn't feel like hurling this time. there's progress. ]

Fine! Fine. So how do I even go about that? Do I just come up to him one day like, "Oh, Wriothesley, sometimes you make me feel like I have heartburn, let's fuck and see if that clears up?" Because I don't think it's going to be that simple, Marcille.

[picky]

[ SHE SAID THE F WORD... Marcille is slowly getting used to reading words like that. ]

Of course not!
But you guys must spend time alone together, right?
Maybe you don't need to actually say it? Not at first, anyway.
What if you just give him a sign?

[wheft]

[ girl you need to start reading smut asap... it builds character ]

A... sign? Like what?

[picky]

[ get her invested in a yaoi and maybe she will... ]

Have you held his hand before?

[wheft]

[ MARCILLE'S FUJO AWAKENING... i will be there no matter what ]

A couple of times, yeah. It's mostly out of necessity, though.

[picky]

Mostly?
Have you tried doing it without needing to?

[wheft]

[ she tries to recall and... oh yeah, that one time in virtual fontaine. ughhhhh. ]

I... yeah. I did it recently. It didn't last for very long, though.

[picky]

That didn't work, huh?
What about leaving a letter for him?

[wheft]

A... letter? People still do that?
