[...An ambitionless delinquent...]

Hey law boy, trespassing's illegal.

[He heard his whole dramatic piece, but that's the part that feels like it's important to distinguish.]

He's a terrible influence. [Gross, he sounds charmed.] But it was worth it in the end. We learned a few things we wouldn't have otherwise.

[Like how much of a Fucking Nerd Maurice is. Wow.]

Besides, for a PI, minor infractions such as that are simply part of the job. I thought you'd get a kick out of hearing it.

I'd be much happier to hear it if it wasn't hypocrisy.

[Stupid Goro and his stupid detective stuff.]

Do you have a thing for bad influences or what? Maybe you just want someone to yank you out of all that detective stuff.

[... You know.]

After some consideration, perhaps my type does lie in that sort of area. The only thing keeping me from confirming it completely is the fact that I have no interest in you.

Come on, you're still taking me on your damn Tanabata date.

[He grabs Goro by the shoulder and pulls him closer to him. It's not a terribly intimate gesture; he's still facing in the same direction that Goro is, but now they can look out at the horizon together.]

You're really devoted to your detective thing, sure, but maybe, deep down, you're waiting for some bad boy to scoop you up, put you on a motorcycle, and show you a whole different side of the world.

[He waves his hand up in the air as he says this. Gotta go for the dramatic effect when you're teasing the shit out of people, after all.]

[He

kind of hates how called out he is right now? He is so called out right now. What the hell, Silver.]

You make me sound like the heroine of a romance novel.

[Which he Absolutely Not.]

You're not denying it.

[Although the heroine of a romance novel sounds a little too glamorous for Goro.]

It sounds like a nice fantasy, yes, but it isn't as if I'd throw my life away to be with someone like that. My beliefs aren't so easily swayed.

[Or... stolen via motorbike, he guesses.]

Besides. It's more of the attitude than the appearance or anything, in my opinion. Bad boys, but not "bad for you" boys. Something like that.

Are you saying I'm not bad enough for you, Goro?

[...He says it... Sort of regrets saying it... But sticks to his convictions. He said it, now he has to own it. Don't show Goro any signs of weakness.]

[A pause, staring at Silver before glancing away.]

Do you... want to be?

[Is that the true reason of Silver's easy agreements. Not free food, but being around a crush? Because Goro understands.]

[...Well, that took the wind out of his sails in a hurry. He looks sort of disappointed, but doesn't hesitate to say-]

Not even a little.

[Disappointment...]

I used to have a crush on you, [he decides to confess, starting off to the shaved ice for real this time.] But I don't strive for the completely disinterested, which you seemed to be then and what you certainly are now.

[Disinterested in everything but like, trolling him, which he's gotten used to returning fire on. But not particularly interested in the flirty sense.]

But you do fall under the "bad boy" umbrella I like still.

[...What the hell is all of that sincerity? They're just supposed to be getting shaved ice and making a damn wish, not... Any of this.]

I've considered it before.

[He'll let that sit in the air for a moment.]

Sometimes, especially when you're like this, you're pretty cute. If you wanted to go on a couple of dates, I probably wouldn't say no. But most of the time, I can't even tell what you're thinking, and...

[Well, he's pretty good at messing up the good things he has anyway. No need for him to get in a relationship and mess things up.]

You've got your crush anyway. Aim big.

[... Oh. That's-- that's flattering, even if he's not sure about the "especially when you're like this" part of it, and Goro can't stop the red creeping up his neck.]

Um, thank you. And I will. I just... can't read him sometimes, it makes it hard to know how to act. Around him, I mean.

[Which probably means he shouldn't act at all? But that's tough. Goro isn't someone that his crush would probably be into anyway, not at the heart of the matter, and he seems to react well to the #politeboy routine so that's another sign...]

Then stop trying so hard. If you can't be yourself around someone you like, what's the point?

[...That's both entirely too sentimental and not nearly enough. What else is he supposed to say?]

If they turn out to be a jerk, I'll beat them up for you. You can keep a clean record.

[The last part's said jokingly, but the rest is sincere.]

[What's he even do with this, god.]

I have my reasons. [Simple, to the point.] I'm glad I invited you out, Silver, it's proven to be very...

[... sentimental, oddly nice, interesting...]

Well, I'm glad. You're cute when you're like this too.

Edited 2017-07-16 01:07 (UTC)

...Yeah, whatever. Just don't get used to it.

[His protests are week. His embarrassment is strong. What the hell does he say to solidify his jerkitude?]

Where's my shaved ice?

[That works.]

What flavor would you like?

Surprise me.

[...Being second best isn't too bad.]

[Great. Silver's going to get pina colada and Goro's getting himself blue hawaiian. Enjoy your non-alcoholic shaved ice.]

And now we just need to take care of our wishes... [Mmm. Delicious.] Do you have an idea for what you want to write?

Not a clue.

[Pina colada isn't exactly his first pick, but it's free, it's tasty, and he's not complaining.]

Well, don't worry if it's selfish or not. Tanabata's the sort of festival for that kind of thing -- but having wishes for other people aren't uncommon either, if you want to put something up with someone in mind.

[He touches the slip in his sash meaningfully, put there for safekeeping.]

I should really return my mother's sentiment, but... I'm probably going to wish selfishly this year.

[Hmm...

>What did your mom wish for?
>What did you wish for?
>Something stupid]

You're going to wish for another season of Sherlock Shacks, right?

That's already guaranteed, so I don't need to waste it on that.

[Munch munch.]

[Damn. No bites. Time to get serious, then.

>It's about your detective work, right?
>You want to find him, don't you?
>Do you have a wish about your mom?]

You want to find him, don't you?

[Who he's talking about goes without saying. His expression is fairly neutral, but his tone's gentler.]
