With that one holiday around the corner and it's whole schtick for doing a sappy confession to someone...

...how do you know if you might actually like someone? Like... LIKE like.

It might not be a matter of life and death but it's important.

[ASKFHKSJ!!]

There ain't no third girl, Red. It's bad enough that there's two a' them! I mean it ain't bad but— You know what I mean, yo!

[He does not have this under control. Not at all.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Just had to be sure, Beat.

[ Dang, and where was Mei when all this went down? She wants kisses from cute boys! But, again, keeping that to herself... ]

But now you gotta find out how you really feel! You need to ask them BOTH on a date!

[ She means separately, in order to determine who he likes more. There is a nugget of common sense in her sometimes. ]

[stillarhino]

Both?

[He's already trying to hold back and not rush into things, especially something like this. His friends have told him to take it slow and spend time with both Gina and Futaba to see if he felt anything more for one or the other. But he'd planned on just that... Hanging out.

But, you know what, he's listening, Mei.]

People been saying I gotta hangout with them more to get a better feel for it... But do you think going on a date's the way to go?

[Look at him getting schooled by someone younger than him. It's almost as if Rhyme were around.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Hey, a date is just a romantic hang out! You're still getting to know them!

[ Why is she trying to sound like an expert when she's never been on a date? ]

Besides, those gummies happened in, what, December? Have you totally just been leaving them hanging for two months?

[stillarhino]

[Beat is none the wiser about Mei's dating experience. Also, he doesn't know what to do just yet so he'll accept whatever she wants to give him.]

Uh... Kinda? I bumped into Smokes after an' things and it wasn't really the time to talk about it.

[Let's not recount how he broke down crying in front of her. That didn't happen at all.]

Yo, I ain't ever been on a date before.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

No need to worry! There are plenty of romantic locations here! And I know just where to begin!

[ She pushes her glasses up her nose, feeling way too superior about this. ]

You start it off nice, slow, casual... a get-together at Dreambucks!

[stillarhino]

[She's definitely the more superior one in this scenario. Beat's taking notes!]

Okay, yeah I can do dreambucks. But like... Same place for the both a' them?

[Because even that feels off to him.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

... Hmmm. You may be right - Futaba's not really the social type, she probably wouldn't want to be around that many people.

[ Because that's the issue, right? ]

So for her, a nice stroll near the hedge maxes and gardens! And you can say she's as pretty as the flowers!

[stillarhino]

Yeah, it's gotta somewhere that ain't too busy for Shorty.

[You know what, he's actually going to write this down so he doesn't forget. He takes out his journal and begins writing these ideas hastily on the back pages.]

Thanks Red. You really helpin' me out here.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ Ego boost +10! ]

What are friends for? Plus, you're already a great guy, Beat! You know how to cheer people up and make them feel really good! They'll be eating out of your hand in no time at all!

[stillarhino]

[He chuckles at that, appreciating the pep talk.]

Could say the same for you.

[Once he's done, he tucks his journal away once more before his expression shifts, his smile disappearing as he looks to Mei confused.]

But why do I wanna have 'em eating outta my hand?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Aw, it's just an expression!

[ ... One she entirely doesn't understand herself, and just always heard in these types of situations - QUICK CLEAR YOUR THROAT AND CHANGE THE SUBJECT. ]

A-A-Anyway! I'm honored you put your trust in me about this! You can trust me to keep this locked up forever and ever. No one will ever know this talk happened.

[ /side-eyeing the masquerade log/ ]

[stillarhino]

[What log?]

Heh, I know that, Red. If anythin' happens with either of 'em, I'mma be sure to tell ya.

[That's how much he trusts you, Mei. He's even giving you a thumbs up.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Great! I'll be looking forward to all those juicy details!

[ What could possibly go wrong...? ]
