[ Today is a big, big day for Xion. Though she'd planned to do ... what she's about to do ... from the start, her original plans had never included the journal. Not on Valentine's Day!
But strangely enough, she seems to have forgotten there's any inherent risk to using the journal today... and since it's such a big day, she wants to be positive she'll catch him. So early in the morning, before school, she'll toss this filter up. ]

Hey, Luke...? Could you meet me outside after school? I have-- um... I wanted to talk to you.
[ She'll leave it at that, and not wait for a reply -- or even look for one later. It's too nerve wracking! Instead she'll fidget herself through her school day, doing something rather unusual for her -- paying exactly zero attention in all of her classes. She's a little too busy playing out in her mind all the ways this can go horribly, terribly wrong.
... and maybe, just maybe, the one way it can go right.
Yes, today is a day Xion will be making repeated and valiant efforts not to blush.
Anyway, after school, true to her word she'll be waiting not far from the entrance to the building, fussing with the bag she's got strung over her shoulder. She keeps reaching into it, to fiddle with something in there... but she doesn't take that something out.
She looks very nervous, and a little flushed. Do feel free to bother her. ]
(ooc; HEY GUYS - EVENT MUSIC! SING ALONG!
ps this post will require sending time and space off a cliff but that is totally okay. will get to backtags slowly, hooray for next two days off! happy valentine's day!!)

she gives him such a smile, that so clearly says "you are a huge dork," and curls her free pinky around his.
she really kind of loves him. ]
Alright. Pinkie swear. Once it's warm!
[Action]
To kiss her nose. He's blushing once he pulls back, but... he did it! He actually kissed her for the first time! ... Of course, this makes him turn his head away to try and cover up just how flustered he is.]
Y-Yeah... Once it's warm.
[Action]
She -- kind of scrunches her nose once she pulls back, eyes squeezed shut, but it's really only because of how that totally brings back the ferocious blush that'd only just started to fade. then she blinks her eyes back open after a moment, looking up at him -- him looking away -- and her expression greatly softens. ]
Luke, I...
[ ... love--
no, no! she can't. isn't it too early for that? she can't remember... what had she really planned to do today? gah! she'll suddenly stand, moving a few steps away, hands clasped over her chest...
... only to turn back to him with a broad grin. ] Hey, let's go back out! I think there's something you ought to try...
[Action]
Sure... What is it? [And with that, he stands, prepared to follow her wherever she wants to lead him.]
[Action]
[Action]
Sea salt... [Sea. Salt. WARY FACE.] ... Does it actually taste like sea salt?
[Action]
her mouth curls up a little extra at one corner at his obvious skepticism. ] Yeah... sorta! Look, just trust me, okay? It's really good! I used to have it pretty much ever day back home... [ dragging him right out of the house ok? ok. OFF THEY GO. ]
[Action]
... Sorta. There's an ice cream that sorta tastes like sea salt. Luke's only actually been once, but he's had salt water crash into his mouth several times to get a taste of that flavor. Why would someone make it into ice cream? And why would Xion eat it? Why would she want him to try it?
Thus, the skepticism remains, and maybe even grows as he's dragged out. Not that he doesn't trust her, but... Sea salt just seriously does not sound appealing.]
... Okay, okay. But just once, okay?
[Action]
his growing doubts really only serve to make her laugh. come on boyfriendo, trust her!! gives his hand a little tug. ] I bet, after you try it, you'll want it more than once... it really kind of grows on you. [ from the way she's taking them, it seems like they're just going across the intersection to her house. they do have some conveniently stored in the freezer, after all... ]
[Action]
Yeah, salt grows on you. Luke likes salt on his meat, but not on his ice cream. The little tug serves to make him stumble just a bit, as he might have been lagging behind slightly. All this talk of salt and ice cream and liking that stuff... yick. Thankfully he's still got chocolates in his pocket just in case he finds the taste too bad.]
Isn't it kind of cold for ice cream? [The fact that he's going along at all proves that he's not all THAT opposed to trying it, but still.]
[Action]
At that, she grins. You so aren't getting out of this. ] It's never too cold for ice cream!
[ they'll reach the house in short order, and she'll give his hand a squeeze. ]
Gimme a sec, okay?
[ brb running into the house and checking around. aaaaaaaaaaand ... it's all clear! excellent. she'll step back out and wave him over. ] Come on!
[Action]
Once she waves him inside, Luke looks around once again to make sure people aren't watching (it'd be weird to suddenly disappear in the house and all), then he walks in after her. Truth be told, he hasn't actually been in her house very much, only seen the outside of it. He glances around once he's inside, taking in the interior and how the place is decorated.]
So where's this sea salt ice cream?
[Action]
And right now, there's origami hearts all over the walls... have fun puzzling that one out, Luke.
Once he came inside, Xion headed back to the kitchen, and now she returns to the main area holding two bars of the stuff, grinning soooooooo broadly. She'll then lead him to her room, so they can have a place to sit. ]
Give it a fair chance, okay?
[Action]
Aaand once he sees the bars of sea salt ice cream in her hands... Luke starts to wonder just what he got himself into. He doesn't follow her right away, because that just puts him even closer to his fate... But eventually he does, mostly because he's sure she went to her room and Luke is curious about how it looks.
It's... small, is his first thought. Small compared to his own room, at least, and much more decorated. His own walls are that plain wooden color, after all, not painted at all like this. Everything seems... very Xion, from the necklace to the jewelry box to the books (and he sees his own in there, which makes the corner of his lips twitch up) to the... flute?
Well. That instrument makes him lean a little towards it, though he straightens up again once he realizes that... right. He has to give the ice cream a chance.
... Uuugh.]
Uh... right.
[Action]
Luuuuke...
[Action]
Whaaaat?

Luke moves from the doorway and stands a few feet away from her, hands on his hips with an eyebrow raised.]
Just how are you gonna make me?
[Action]
Like this!
[ gets up from her chair and LAUNCHES HERSELF AT HIM BODILY. it'll send them both flying back onto her bed -- WHO KNOWS WHERE THE ICE CREAM IS GOING though she's trying to hold onto hers so it's going to get goddamn everywhere--
not that she really cares. she's too busy laughing hysterically. ]
[Action]
BODY SLAM.
'apdfj'sodjf]
Gah- X-Xion!
[He grabs her shoulders - only to realize that this is Xion, and shoving her back or flipping them over so that he's the one hovering over her probably wouldn't be a good idea. So, he just keeps his hands there, gripping her shoulders, while he turns his head away.]
Y-You still can't make me!
[Action]
sorta--
about half of it.
the rest is smeared equally across their clothes and the bed. she's got about half left on the actual stick, which she's now holding above him with one hand while the other helps brace her body on the bed. and she's just. beaming. (would she normally do this? gosh, it doesn't matter. this is fun.)
... waves the ice cream in his face. ]
Oh yeah?
[Action]
He reaches over to grab her wrist and keep it still. HA. Now you can't get it to him!]
Yeah!
[... And it just dripped on his cheek GOD THAT'S COLD]
