Oh God Oh Man Oh God Oh Man
WHO: Tom, Kozue, Kiriko
WHAT: Tom asks for advice
WHERE: Kozue and Kiriko's dorm room
WHEN: Almost right after Tom talks to Seiko
WHY: Cause Tom needs advice

As soon as they had wrapped up their"talk" in Seiko's room, Tom made a straight beeline for Kozue's dorm. Seiko had told him that he shouldn't talk to their friends about his first date, but the situation was dire. He had no idea what he was supposed to be doing, not just for the date, but the whole relationship. She was on every level more capable of social interaction then he was. They had covered the reasons he still wanted to be with her. They never talked about why she wanted to stay with him. It felt like he was on a razors edge. So far his track record with women was terrible, he had gotten a second chance with Seiko, and he was determined not to ruin it.

Seiko had told him not to talk to people, but Kozue would understand his dire circumstances. She'd help, she'd already tried to help, even back in paradise. He would just have to make sure she didn't tell Seiko afterward. He wondered idly if friends talked about that kind of thing as he knocked on the door.

She filtered through the babble about investigation to the part about love, her gaze sharpening. She looked less skeptical, but somehow no less critical. Something about his behaviour was irritating her - something about the combination of being insecure enough to bite his lip while continuing to rattle off logical calculations on appropriate time and space.

"You'll know," she answered, more ominously than she intended. And from the looks of it, he'd be complicit in steeping them both in sentimental mush if it ever got to that. Seiko was more experienced than she would have expected, but she still seemed like the kind of girl to wear her heart on her sleeve. Kiriko was already trying to determine whether it would be worse enduring their sickening romantics or the inevitably messy breakup.

Probably the romantics. Those were always obnoxious, and already Tom seemed painfully sincere - emphasis on painfully. She couldn't help but think of Toshiro, which also meant she couldn't help but feel terribly resentful towards Tom for reminding her.

"You shouldn't be worried about it right now, anyway."

Really, he'd missed the point of the first and most cardinal piece of advice if he was already contemplating love. At this rate he'd be back in a week asking about marriage.

She made a mental note not to invite him in next time.
