"hi, this is—"
"sunflowers or roses?"
"um... sunflowers?"
"having doubts?"
"no. you just caught me off guard."
"so it's sunflowers?"
"yep. you sound like you're so excited. what got you pumped up for today's game, anyway?"
"i'm not. ask me away."
"hmm... hugs or kisses?"
"seriously? you're asking a guy that, vanadis? we'll always choose kisses over anything. the neck kiss—"
"oh my glob, don't start. do not corrupt me with your..."
"with my what, huh?"
"with your—man hormones!"
he burst out laughing,
"man hormones? seriously."
"i asked an innocent question. and like the classic giovanni, he answers it with malice."
"i didn't! you were the one who put malice into it."
"you're saying it's my fault?"
"what am I gonna do with you, bab—"
"hey, sshh! i told you, don't call me that... word. do i look like a seven-month old human who chews a toy and says 'goo-goo-ga-ga'?"
"that word is also for girls with pretty little hearts beating wildly whenever—"
"ah! no wonder all the girls in your school bow down just to have your attention."
"are you one of them?"
"duh, i don't go to your school—scratch that, i don't go to any school."
he laughed and shook his head,
"i was asking if..."
"if?"
"..."
"hey."
"nothing."
"..."
"..."
"will you be quiet?!"
"what? i didn't even say anything!"
"well, stop thinking so loud! i can practically hear what you've been dying to ask."
"..."
"and the answer's no, try harder."
