It’s been going really great!
You really know how to show someone a good time, Saihara-kun.
I’m glad you’re having fun.
And, uh...there’s something I’d lik to talk to you about.
Well, you see...I’m in a-
Really, Kaede? Right now?
My girlfriend. She just got a-
Wait...you already have a girlfriend?!
H-hang on, that slipped out too early! I was just about to-
You’re cheating on her with me?! How could you-
She’s on a date with someone else too.
I was just about to explain what’s going on here. Our relationship is...complicated.
Are you guys...fighting or something?
It’s quite the opposite, actually.
*One very detailed explanation about open relationships and past history later*
I was planning on telling you all of this, but as soon as I started, she called and told me just got a date too. And the “girlfriend” thing just kind of slipped out too early.
I was never planning on keeping this a secret, I swear. I wanted us to have a good time tonight.
I’m sorry, I don’t really know much about this stuff.
It gets kind of confusing for us too, but somehow it all works out.
And...you said open relationships can be about two people dating while sleeping with other people.
Is that...what you wanted with me?
No. I asked you out because you’re a sweet, friendly, beautiful, and infectiously happy girl, and I wanted to take you on a nice date.
It’ll only go that far if you want it to. Otherwise, we can just say we had a nice date and call it there.
Well...I appreciate the honesty.
You’re sure your girlfriend is okay with this?
She’s almost been cheering me on to do it.
Alright? You’re sure? You look...apprehensive.
I’m just...a little nervous thinking about it.
But...I trust you. After all that, I don’t think you’d have any reason to lie to me after that.
I never had a reason in the first place.
