Love Springs Eternal (??)

[bright_and_blue]

Who: ERRYBODY
What: It's Valentine's Day, and there are matchmaking notices everywhere. Here's an open log for one and all to post their shenanigans, meet ups, freak outs, and whatever else they're going to do about this.
When: forward dated to Feb. 14
Where: All over Aqures Ixen
Warnings: Ridiculousness.

[Plastering the city are notices matching up all of the Heroes of Light with one another, both the best and the worst. Moogles are having a grand old time handing them out and hanging them up, and are encouraging Heroes to speak with their top matches.

Naturally, reactions to this are mixed. Some Heroes are intrigued, some annoyed, some offended. Despite their feelings or misgivings, the rest of the city is still celebrating Valentine's Day as well, and now the thoughts of love are everywhere.

OOC: This is an open log for everyone to use for Valentine's Day stuff! Feel free to make your own prompts.]

Well...

[He dumped his fliers in the trash after Johnny and thought about it. He hadn't bothered with anything before arriving on Atia. In fact, he'd specifically avoided Valentine's Day hook-ups. Girls were either way too ready to latch onto significance and commitment that didn't exist, or were sloppily desperate for attention. Three hundred and sixty-four other days of the year, he'd fuck just about anyone; not Valentine's Day.]

[With Kyo, there had been significance. There had been commitment. And it was special, and incredibly nerve-wracking, to actually face that and express it. What was the compromise? Reno liked Johnny, a lot. But things were complicated.]

[He smirked, with just a hint of self-consciousness.]

Well... I'm always game for a romp between the sheets. But we could do somethin', y'know, more traditionally "romantic" first. I'd suggest a movie but... they don't have those...

[He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to think of something unique besides just going out for drinks as always.]

[charming_jerk]

[He chuckled at that, feeling similarly. He's pretty sure he's never done anything romantic in his life. How do people do this?]

Yeah man. I miss the hell outta movies, let me tell ya. [Wait, what do people do in movies for dates?]

We could, uh, get some dinner? Or we could catch a Blitzball game. Or, um, I think you can rent boats to take out on the lake.

[His face is getting red even suggesting this stuff, and he's not even sure why. Isn't this what people do? Why does it feel so embarrassing?! Maybe because Johnny's never been on an actual date before.]

[shinra_dog]

Not a boat!

[It came out a bit rushed, instinctive. Reno tried to change the subject rather than address how awkward it was.]

Y'know I actually haven't seen a Blitzball game yet? We could totally check that out.

[He'd been a little nervous about the concept at first, honestly -- a sport played entirely underwater, for... well, he wasn't even sure how long. A long time. Being totally submerged was nerve-wracking enough, but without a clear time period to guarantee the eventual intake of air...]

[Reno tried not to think about it. It wasn't him in the dome, it was trained athletes. And he wouldn't be out in the middle of a lake in a crappy paddle boat.]

[charming_jerk]

[He grinned a little at that.]

Alright man, no boats. Blitzball it is. Y'know, I was never really into sports back home, but maybe cuz they weren't as crazy as this one. Yer gonna love it.

[And also maybe he got into it when Yuna was playing on the team. Maybe. Maaaybe.]

[shinra_dog]

[Reno smiled, thankful Johnny didn't ask. Johnny never asked. It was a relief.]

Alright. I'm trusting you that it's gonna be awesome, yo.

[And if he did end up having to leave, he trusted that Johnny wouldn't mock him. He might even be worried... Gods, Reno trusted Johnny, period. What a trip.]
