[ Hopefully Daisy is ready for Matthew to be both absolutely hopeless at figuring out the tiny dumplings and chopsticks and woven steam baskets, as well as embarrassingly open about how touched he is that she's sharing a part of her like this. He hasn't ever asked her too many probing questions about her family or her past, appreciating the fact that she doesn't ask him about any of that either, but he has absolutely no frame of reference for not knowing about who you are.

His family can trace their ancestry back to the Mayflower, for god's sake. Even further, if they try.

He will gladly meet her at the subway station and accompany her to her secret hideaway, and make patently obvious cow eyes in her direction the entire time. ]


I'll be there.

Impossible.

[ It's fine, he's got a lot of grading he's been putting off so he can swan about with her, so he can keep himself comfortably busy until Saturday. He'll still text her a lot between now and then, of course. ]

[ Stop that, don't give him ideas. ]

Also impossible.

[ What on earth makes her think he wants her to stay away? ]

I am youthful and beautiful, it's true.

[ He's joking. He smoked for most of his early career and has a full goddamn beard, not to mention the whole tall-and-broad-shouldered thing. Nobody could confuse him as looking "boyish."

There's a reason he doesn't shave any more and only part of it is laziness. ]

How much of your time will I be occupying?
Should I bother bringing any of my grading?


[ Look. He knows what's up, alright. ]

They do say your productivity actually improves when you let your brain take a break every now and then...

[ Very practical. ]

I know how fast your brain works, so I'm going to take that as a compliment.

Hey, are you calling me easy?

[ Yes, yes he is. For her at least. ]

[personal profile] asyndeton 2019-10-09 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, is that what that was?

[ He knows. He just thinks it's cute to play dense. ]

A compliment immediately followed by an insult, I see how it goes.

Now that would be tragic.

[ She's good for his ego. ]

I'm very lucky, I know.

[ He's not dumb, he knows what's up. ]

[ It's too bad she isn't around to see the way he smiles down at his phone like a big, dumb, soft idiot. ]

You want me to bring anything when I come over?

[ Ah, to be young and a college student again. He remembers having hollow legs, too. ]

Any particular requests? Don't say cereal.
