[Warded to Ira]

Would you still want to date if if

What do you think's pointier, my chin or your nose?

[Warded to Ruby]

So I've been thinking about next year.

Ask Ira to prom this year before you start fantasizing about prom next year.

Spencer/Ruby

[bitterlysweet]

[...] Not sure I'll be around for prom next year.

Spencer/Ruby

[patineuse]

Wow.

Are you dying, or are we finally having the "Are your grandparents over it?" convo?

Spencer/Ruby

[bitterlysweet]

The latter.

I mean if I want to get serious about skating I can't be stuck at boarding school where I can barely train. I'm getting rusty and falling behind and shit. [...] I'm thinking about just dropping out.

Spencer/Ruby

[patineuse]

Finally. I've been ready to drop out since midway through last year.

[...] I did think you'd stay all the way to graduation.

Spencer/Ruby

[bitterlysweet]

You won't miss it?

I want to but, like, I'm losing time here. A year could make a huge difference.

Spencer/Ruby

[patineuse]

It's been [...] fun. But we have medals to win.

Uhuh. Like the only upside to Gooseberry is that I can't check the news to see which 15-year-old whiz kid is slated to join Team Canada for 2018. Plus, if we're going solo now... It's more training to catch up on.

Spencer/Ruby

[bitterlysweet]

Obviously. I'll just miss everyone yknow? My old roommates sucked. [...] You're not going to find another Madison out there.

We'll get there. That whiz kid's a flash in the pan. We're the real thing.

Spencer/Ruby

[patineuse]

I know. [...] Isn't it better this way? Leave before everything gets ruined. It's only happy memories to look back on.

The best of the best. You know, the lake is still mostly frozen.

Spencer/Ruby

[bitterlysweet]

I'm fucking sick of memories. They're useless. Most of my brain's filled up with the freaking things. [...] I'm going to ask Ira if he'll try the long distance thing.

It's not going to be safe much longer. Two weeks max and that's if we hit it with tons of freezing charms.

Spencer/Ruby

[patineuse]

I've never been so glad that I can forget. [...] Do you think it would work? Dating long-distance.

Then you can spend at least a week with me skating. For old time's sake. [...] I'll talk to Coach when we get back during break. He'll find someone to take on your solo training.

Spencer/Ruby

[bitterlysweet]

It would for me.

Yeah. Yeah ok. We'll figure out something. Both of us. We're still a team even if we're not on the ice at the same time.

Spencer/Ruby

[patineuse]

You'll have training to keep you busy. He'll be here.

Sure, whatever. [.....] Sorry. Yes. You and me, partners forever.

Spira

[ashworthless]

Shit. Tough question. Hold still.
[....]
Nope. Can’t tell. Might need closer inspection. But probably your chin.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

My grandma says it's sharp enough to open cans.

Man I think I dug myself into a hole. It's hard to make offering to check out your nose hot.

Spira

[ashworthless]

You could. Could be a good career goal.
If you’re into noses, I can deal with it. Like. Kinda weird, but whatever.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

What'm I gonna do with all these talents???

I'm into your whole angular face. And the way you comb your hair so it kinda comes in over your temples like a 90's anime character with Princess Ariel's bangs. You know what I'm talking about?

Spira

[ashworthless]

I wonder that all the time. How the hell do you manage.

That’s the nicest way anyone’s ever told me to get a haircut is what I know.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

Well first off I'm real humble.

No come on man I love your hair I'm not making fun of you because I want you to change it. But when I get my hands on you I'm gonna mess it up. Fair warning.

Spira

[ashworthless]

St. Sweet, humblest guy I know.

You better. You watch out, too. Still gotta convince myself I'm going out with a redhead.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

It's just a dye job though. Hope you're not gonna hold it against me.

Spira

[ashworthless]

Is it? Shit. Dealbreaker. Bye.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

Shit so picky. What's a guy gotta do to make you stick around? Say it and it's yours.

Spira

[ashworthless]

Huh. What are you doing after class today?

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

You.

Spira

[ashworthless]

And here I was just gonna say 'skip drama'.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

Gotta think bigger.

I know you wanna wait a little before the real thing but there's a lot of other stuff I can do.

Spira

[ashworthless]

You're better at ideas.

[...]This one's pretty good, too.
I'd go crazy if I tried waiting for everything.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

You're better at making them real.

Same. I'm having dreams about you.

Spira

[ashworthless]

Yeah? If they're good ones, I can try and make those real too.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

Course they're good ones. I'll demonstrate once I get you alone.

Spira

[ashworthless]

And in the meantime, I'm for sure gonna fail whatever class we're in right now.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

You're not gonna fail. You're too smart to fail just because you spent one lesson listening to my bullshit instead of the lecture.

HEY what if we go to that supply closet where all this started and I show you a few things I was thinking?

Spira

[ashworthless]

Might be worth it anyway.

And I did kinda like that closet.

Spira

[bitterlysweet]

I'm gonna make you like it even more.

Hey, at least no one will whine about some random closet. They should be grateful I'm not saying the sauna.

Spira

[ashworthless]

And sauna's expected, anyway. The closet has history. Which could actually stand to be improved on. I won't be an idiot and run out when I like it, this time.
