Okay.

[zeropoints]

You do want to, don't you?

[soheartless]

I want to dance with her. [He responds quickly, without thinking.]

[zeropoints]

[Well, he supposes that's as close to "I like her" as it gets for Mytho.]

Sure, great. Because Homecoming is a dance and all that. And that's what you do at dances.

[He sighs, thinking longingly of his crush.]

I wish I could go with Rhyme...

[soheartless]

Rhyme...

[He's still for a moment, pondering her.]

Have I... met her?

[zeropoints]

I don't know. Maybe? [And then awkwardly:] She doesn't go to school because she's, uh, she's not like us.

[soheartless]

[Not like them? What does that... even mean?]

How is she not? Is she not... a person?

[zeropoints]

[What does that even mean??? He's not sure if he should be offended, but he's definitely confused.]

............. Do you think I'd really ask a pigeon or something to Homecoming? Do you...........

[soheartless]

I don't know. Tsuna, there's a lot I don't know about your likes and dislikes. [Duh. It makes sense, doesn't it? He tries to grab one of his books from the locker.] Should I bring an animal as well? I don't know... if my family would approve.

[zeropoints]

[It makes zero sense, but Mytho... Sense... Pants... And there you see the underlying problem.]

Eh, it doesn't matter if your parents approve or not. You're not going to Homecoming for them, you're going for you.

[A pause.]

... For the record, I'm not in love with a pigeon.

[soheartless]

[Yep. It all comes together. Occasionally he glances down towards his belt to make sure it's still intact and doing it's job. Not that he really minds one way or another.]

Okay.

If she's not... a pigeon.... what is she like?

[zeropoints]

[WHAT DO YOU MEAN "IF"]

THERE'S NO IF!!! Of course, she's not a pigeon! She's... She's...

[His whole face turns red and he stutters to a stop.]

[soheartless]

A girl? A girl who is not your sister... [See? He's learning!]

[zeropoints]

N-no, you don't understand! She's more than a girl-- [who's not his sister] --she's... she's the one! She's kind... And, and cute and perfect and... Iwanttomarryher.

[soheartless]

I see. Marriage? I didn't know that the dance would have that...

[zeropoints]

At the dance?! N-n-n-no way, we're still too young for that! [REALLY, MYTHO] You can't ask Rue to marry you yet, okay!! Don't do it!

[soheartless]

I shouldn't? [He considers for a moment.]

Okay.

When should we get married, then?

[zeropoints]

[When you can keep your pants on and realize the only person who'd want to see you pantsless is Rue. And not everyone else.

Especially not Tsuna.]

Well... I guess when you can take care of yourself. If you can't do that much, then you can't take care of her. I think you'll know when--wait, wait, so you want to marry her?

[soheartless]

I don't think that I know at this moment if I do or not.

But... what do you think, Tsuna? Do you think that I should... marry Rue...?

[zeropoints]

Don't do it until you know. And ask her to the dance first.

[He gives Mytho a solemn nod.]

That's kind of between you and Rue, isn't it? If she makes you happy and... if you make her happy, then yeah. That's... that's love.

[soheartless]

Okay. I understand. [It does make sense, really. He gives a slight smile towards Tsuna.]

Thank you, Tsuna. You... know a lot.

I wonder if... you and Rhyme will make each other happy.

[zeropoints]

Aha, n-not really.

[It's nice to hear, even if it's not true. But hello tiny ego boost--which immediately dies down when he thinks of Rhyme. There's no questioning the fact that she makes him unbelievably happy, but...]

I don't know if I can make her happy... But I could try.

[soheartless]

Tsuna... You succeed at some things that you try.

[He gives something faintly resembling a supportive smile.]

What sorts of things would you try?
