[For a moment, Pokey is stunned by the Note. He's tempted to tell Lili finding an idea to ditch would be for the best, because at first he can't even process this.]

Hey,

I don't mind you explaining it that way. I mean, if dating is the best way to explain what's happening, that's fine. I get it. That doesn't feel weird.

So. I'm down. What date you want to do this? Need me to bring anything?

-Pokey

All I require is one Pokey to show up at 6pm at the Riggs household tomorrow night.

Good, I didn't- wanna make this weird for you? God that's so weird to say make you uncomfortable. I like you, Pokey. I don't want you to, I dunno get weirded out. We're doing our own thing that my dad doesn't really get.

At least he isn't making you fill out paperwork like he did the last people I dated. He was joking but I couldn't really tell then.

-Lili

[Reading through the crossed-off lines isn't that hard for him. A part of him wonders about whether he should even try to subtly nudge at or acknowledge anything in them, and decides naw, it's probably for the best to not touch them quite that way yet. Even if they just dredge up the cockiest smile on his part.]

That's a little bit of a rough order but hey. I think I can squeeze it in.

Nothing uncomfortable about it. Besides, I like your dad.

That's a shame. I could probably get it done and hand the work to him in triplicate in a hour, if he was still going that route.

[justshutupraz]

Glad you can manage. You dork.

You say that now, but he's a pain sometimes. He doesn't know you well enough to do cat stuff at you.

Don't even try him. He'd meet you the challenge, trust me. It was like the weirdest questions possible.

[ceasetoexist]

I'm going to be honest you're really not making me want to challenge your dad on this any less.

[justshutupraz]

Save it for after he's gotten used to us being whatever we are.

[ceasetoexist]

I make no promises on that. Who knows how heated paperwork challenges could get at this dinner.

Bonnie and Clyde is a descriptor I'm pretty fond of, I'll be honest.

[justshutupraz]

He'll literally throw away half of what you do and make you do more paperwork. He did that for the last two people I dated when I was like eleven to twelve.

Bonnie and Clyde would be cool, minus the whole shot to death thing.

[ceasetoexist]

See though. That's part of the game. And I could play that forever. It's something to do at least.

Well gee, you just want to take all the fun and romance out of it, huh?

[justshutupraz]

You could be spending that time with me instead. Kind of more pressing than boring 'So you want to date my daughter' paperwork.

When you find a cool couple who weren't killed in a really dramatic and painful way, we'll talk.

[ceasetoexist]

Got that right. Have to admit, paperwork isn't as good a kisser as you. I'm a charmer, I know. Don't swoon too hard over me.

That's going to take awhile because that's literally just about every couple ever.

[justshutupraz]

Have you been kissing a lot of paperwork in your free time? You have so many hobbies you haven't told me about.

Swoon, suuurrreee. Nerd.

I'm sure we could figure out one famous cool couple who didn't die dramatically or tragically.

[ceasetoexist]

Sure have. Got to get my practice in somehow before I show you how it's really done.

Don't have to impress me. It's okay. You can get a little faint, I won't make fun.

Name one. There isn't one.

[justshutupraz]

Glad you haven't gotten too many paper cuts on the lips at least. That would kind of suck. Maybe kill kissing for you.

Keep dreaming on that, dweebazoid.

It could be us you know, maybe. I'm going to really dig up someone, I swear.

[Even with her aggressive cross out on the first line, Pokey can probably still read it. Whilst Lili continues trying to play 'cool'.]

[ceasetoexist]

Kill kissing? Hard to do that when I've barely just begun. If my lips got tore up, they'd just get back to being smoother than ever a few days later.

You can try. Maybe you will when we're like old and gray, and then you can brag.

[Yet again he doesn't mention the crossed out words in one of her letters. Still, he can't help but smile at them.]
