Silverleaf 8: The Big Bang

docholligay:

So many thanks to Ben on Patreon for sponsoring this series! Feel free to leave a thank you on this post! Or just leave me a comment, because my ego must be fed. All of Silverleaf is here.

The lights hung in hazy contemplation in the darkness of the wine bar, warm and intimate, glowing like stars against the ceiling. Haruka wanted to say something about them, about they reminded her of Van Gogh, of the way everything was filtered through that unreality of beauty. Haruka wanted to tell her being around Michiru was like that, sometimes, that the world got a little more beautiful, and a little less real, in the halo of her presence.

“I have a cat!” was what she said. “His name is Mouse.”

Michiru looked across the table at her, her head tipped in that slightly bemused way. “An interesting way to begin to tell me about yourself, but I do love novelty.”

“I’m a gym teacher.” You teach at the same school, idiot, “I majored in Phys Ed,” shocking. You’re so brilliant, “Uh, I used to run a lot?” It’s a wonder you’re single.

“May I assist you with the wine list?” The waiter asked.

“Oh please god yes.” Haruka burst out.

I didn’t watch the original Star Trek, or any Star Trek tbh, but I don’t feel as if I lost much

Yeah the way he was explaining it was kind of off and like I said, right train yard, wrong side of the tracks. He’s like this “   “close to some kind of mental break through but he’s super old school and like I’ve already rocked that boat and I’m not in a good head space to get into a NO YOU’RE WRONG MOSTLY KIND OF JUST LISTEN TO ME GOD DAMMIT match with him right now.

something great that happened to me this week: me and my girlfriend talked about the possibility of a ritualistic exchange of jewellery and oaths for the first time, and it is a strong contender for the most lovely and gay conversation I’ve ever had

I love everything about this but I have to say that “A ritualistic exchange of jewelry and oaths” made me laugh so hard because I just imagine that’s how Rei avoids saying she has deigned to MARRY

“So, Mina and i have decided to…participate in a ritualistic exchange of jewelry and oaths.” 

Michiru just looks at her, “Do you mean to suggest you are getting married, or forming a coven, or am I meant to simply enjoy the ambiguity of the situation?”

“WE’RE SIMPLY SOLEMNIFYING A LEGAL ARRANGEMENT WHEREBY–”

“Rei, you don’t have any call to explain yourself to me, I know how little you care for such socially-enforced frippery, that’s why I’ve declined to offer the use of my family’s yacht and seaside cottage.” She looks over her cup of tea. “I know it would practically be an insult to your beliefs.” 

Rei frowns. “I mean, I didn’t say–I think using the resources of the wealthy–Michiru, that ‘cottage’ has 8 bedrooms and a billiard room” 

“Hm.” 

“Really it’s only right that we use the resources of the bourgeois to provide entertainment for the underclasses.” 

“Yes, very revolutionary. I believe we have napkins in several colors, as well, for the place settings of the proletariat.” 

I found this looking for something else and laughed so hard at my own joke I’m a nerd
