[ 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!!)

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]
[Action]
[ :) ]
[Action]
Then I guess you'll just have to lick-...
[WHAT IS HE SUGGESTING FFFFF he'll just. Cut himself off and grab the popsicle stick, hoping that maybe she won't notice the blush on his face.]
O-Okay, okay, I'll try it! Just get off me!
[Action]
--wait.
--he can't...
--..........................
OH!
he...
OH.
... huh.
So Xion lets him take the ice cream, suddenly a little thoughtful with her curious. ... then she leans in reeeal close and quickly -- shyly -- darts out her tongue to dab oh so lightly at the ice cream that fell on his cheek.
(something funny twists in her stomach at the same time. why is she being so forward today?)
then she immediately rolls off him, trying to hide her OWN blush, grinning very sheepishly now ]
Okay, okay!
[Action]
SHE JUST-
LICKED-
ACTUALLY-
Okay okay now he sits up quickly and wipes at the rest of the ice cream on his cheek and just. KEEPS BLUSHING. That felt weird and kind of gross and... kind of really good too.
aldsfkj okay. He'll just. Give her a glance before he slowly, slowly leans his head forward to lick at the ice cream...
... and immediately makes a face and holds it away.]
It really- Ugh!
[Action]
What is sense??
Xion decides she doesn't care and stays right beside him, enjoying the way their shoulders and knees are touching, and watches his reaction.
... and giggles. ]
It's salty! I know, it's weird. But it really does grow on you! Because it's salty, but then it's sweet... and kinda creamy. There's a reason I ate it pretty much every day, you know.
[Action]
[He's still making a face... but he is rolling his tongue in his mouth - now that she mentions it, it is kind of sweet.]
[Action]
[ she leans back on her (sticky) hands, smiling a far away smile at the ceiling. ]
It was fun.
[Action]
So, he shrugs with one shoulder.]
I guess I can see that...
[And takes another lick of the ice cream. alskdfjsdf salty. But not bad.]
[Action]
see you're eating it aren't you. aren't you. it's growing on you isn't it.
:) ]
Well?
[Action]
It's okay. I mean, it's... not as bad as I thought it'd be.
[Action]
I'm going to have to clean this all up now... and I'm gonna make you help me, you know. [ she says this idly, without the same teasing behind it there was to her previous threat of making him eat that damn ice cream, but she does mean it. she stoops over to pick up the fallen ice cream from where it went splat on the floor and makes a face as it drips. ]
[Action]
Mmf?! [But she's the one who tackled him! At least, that's what he would say if his mouth wasn't full. Instead, he just accepts his losses, because he kind of was the one who egged her on, and sighs.] Mmmmf...
[Action]
that's victory.
she says nothing, though, just smiling, though her smile broadens to a grin when he speaks in "mmmmf." she'll dump the melty ice cream in her trash bin, then go over to him and -- careful to keep her hands out of the way -- sweetly kiss him on the cheek. ]
Come on, it won't take long if we work together.
[ since her hands are already ice creamy, like her sheets, well ... she just grabs all the stuff and pulls it off the bed, bundling it up in her arms. then she looks thoughtful, and holds it all out to him. ]
Can you take this stuff and stick it in the washing machine? It's down the hall, past the stairs... I need to get something to clean the floor with.
[Action]
Gulp.
... Goes the ice cream, and Luke has to bend over and cough a few times thanks to the coldness that suddenly passes through his throat. By the time he's finished with his hands on his knees and his head down, Xion's gathered up the sheets and holding them out to him, and he... looks a little awkward. He's only actually done the laundry a grand total of twice in his life; the first time was a complete disaster, though the second one was better. Guy usually does it all for him the rest of the time.]
Oh... Okay. I'll, uh... try.
[And with that, he heads down the hall with sheets in hand to conquer the washing machine. It shouldn't be too hard...]
[Action]
... but it isn't more than about two minutes before curiosity wins over and she goes to check on him. ]
Luke?
