Aya nodded, she could see him as a class clown; she was also pretty sure that he was just the type of kid who could not be bullied. He was definitely a boy who could hold his own in a fight, even when he was younger. "You were probably pretty popular then huh?"
They finally reached his car and Aya watched Dan and she grinned and followed suit, scooting closer to him as she thought about his question and gazed at the darkening sky. Her head instantly focused on Monte and pain began to well up inside her. "What if I don't want to do anything over? What if I just want to relive something? Can I do that?"

At her question, he shook his head slowly. "No, I don't really think I was. I think they all saw me as good for a laugh, but not someone to actually hang out with every day. I was always with someone different.
From her answer Danian sensed her distress, and put his arm back around her. "Well, I'm not sure that that's in the rules. Cause I'm not sure that that would have helpful results". Pulling her closer, he put his mouth to her ear. "If you just relive the past, what point is there in having a future?"

She grinned at him. "Well I would have hung out with you every day if you wanted." It seemed that his existence had always been a lonely one and she wanted to reach out to him for that. Aya curled up into his arm and sighed softly. "I guess..." All she could think about was that night on the frozen pool, that night when she was with Monte. His words were so dead on that she turned to him, startled at the seriousness in his voice. "I..."

Dan stared into her eyes, fighting himself with everything he had. This girl was amazing, but she'd clearly only just opened up about this other guy. And she'd specifically said she wasn't ready for anyone else, and wasn't sure if she ever would be. He would just try his hardest to be the friend she so clearly needed.
Sighing he moved his head back to look at the sky. "I'm sorry. That was a really dumb question. I should have thought before I spoke". Smiling wryly he sighed once more. "Story of my life I guess. It was a dumb game. You can pick the next one."

She took a deep breath and leaned close to him, briefly kissing his cheek. "Sorry." She whispered as she leaned back to gaze at the stars. "No, it wasn't a dumb question... I would have answered it if I could think of one." Aya fell silent, thinking back through all the of her experiences. "There was this one time... I was little. My dad was going on a business trip and he wanted to kiss each one of us goodbye. I was angry at him that day. "She said with a tiny laugh. "I refused to let him kiss me. And he left and he looked so sad. I wish I could change that day. Give him a big hug and kiss and tell him how much I loved him. He came back after that but... I want to change that... Just that." Aya smiled kindly at him as she thought of a question to ask him. "Who was your last girlfriend, and why did you break up?"

As she kissed his cheek for the second time that night, he felt his resolve being chipped away. She'd warned him that she was as touchy-feely as he was but still he wasn't prepared. He knew at the grocery store he'd been attracted to her, but this was a whole other level.
A tiny smile stretched across his face as he imagined a tiny and stubborn Ayame getting her way. It was a sad story really, but the image was somehow comical.
He flushed, and stared determinedly at the sky. "Don't laugh ok? You know how I talked about Belle? Well... she was my last girlfriend. I haven't had any since then. I was serious about not dating for the sake of it. So I was 13...And I had to move."
He turned his head to face her once more and smiled ruefully. "I bet other than Monte you've had a ton of boys fawn over you right? I'm...woefully inexperienced with girls."

Aya watched him curiously and giggled softly. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh. We have the same story though, Monte was my first boyfriend so we're in the same boat, don't worry. You're just older than me." She paused and gave him an evil grin. "Old man." She poked his cheek. "I'm just as inexperienced as you, so don't feel bad okay?"
She fell silent as she thought of a question to ask. Aya bit her lip, wondering if she was allowed to ask this of him. "A-are you a virgin?"

Dan stared fixedly at the inky black sky once more. "Well..yes. There was this one girl back in England who wanted...you know. But I told her I couldn't do it. She was pretty pissed but I'm sure she'd have been even more angry if we had, and then I told her I didn't like her like that you know? That wasn't too long before I came back actually."
He eyed her carefully without moving his head, his voice barely above a whisper. "I know you said you and Monte were in love. Did you and he ever..commit like that?"

Aya's smile widened. Was he really embarrassed about stuff like that? She would have never thought he was an old fashioned kind of guy but there he was, having a hard time asking if she was a virgin or not. She thought it was extremely cute but she couldn't help but blush furiously anyway. "Yeah; he was my first." She murmured softly. Aya sat up slowly and turned to him, her brown eyes wide. "Would you still like a girl even if she wasn't a virgin?"

Danian couldn't help but smile, even though somewhere inside he was a tiny bit disappointed. "I'd have a very limited choice if I let it bother me enough to say no to a girl, don't you think? But I guess, it would depend on the circumstances. And how many had been before me. I know that's not really fair on the girl or anything but it's just kind of how I feel."
He looked into her big brown eyes and let out a deep breath. "Yeah, it would definitely depend on the girl as well."

Aya sighed softly; she felt like she had disappointed him somehow and it wasn't like she could do anything about it. It wasn't like she could get her virginity back, right? But she understood what he felt, it was something special and... She sighed softly. "Yeah I get what you mean." She gave him a tiny smile and a cheeky wink to belie the emotions that were thrumming inside her. Why did it matter to her if he wanted her or not? Hadn't she been the one to tell him he was not ready for a relationship? "So, what's your question double-one?"

Danian breathed out slowly, apparantly he'd been holding it until she reacted. Seeing her continuing to speak to her was a good sign. Trying to steer clear of any more discussion where he'd be no longer responsible for his actions, he cast around his brain for a suitable question.
Leaning up on one elbow, he looked down at her and smirked. "Ok, if you could be any animal, what would it be and why? And no boring animals."

She leaned back against the car and put her arms above her head, preferring to look at the cool scenery before her instead of Dan's gorgeous face. "A Lynx, definitely." Aya grinned and turned to him for a bit. "I like their ears." She said with a laugh. Aya turned to look back at the sky, wishing that she could be among the stars, human company seemed to be lacking nowadays. All except Danian of course. "Did you love Belle?"

Danian laughed along with her, and fully expected her to ask the same question in return. Startled, he fumbled for the right answer to give her. "Um..I guess I did as much as I knew how. I mean, I was only young but we spent almost every day together. She wasn't just my girlfriend. She was my best friend too. She knew more about me than anyone else. So I guess if that counts then yeah I did. The day I told her I was leaving was the worst day in the world. Because I knew there was nothing I could do to fix it, and her heart was breaking anyway no matter what I said."
"What if someone asked you out now? What would you say to them?"

Aya smiled at his answer, it was honest and she knew that he wanted her to know these things. "Well, you were young... That's understandable. I wish I could fall in love with my best friend." She muttered, thinking about who she could even consider as a best friend. She paused and scooted herself up, still staring at the sky as she pondered on how she'd answer his question. "I... I guess it depends on who asked. I mean if it was some random dude who thought I'd be a good time? Then no, definitely not." But if it was you? If... it was you? She smiled a bit bitterly to herself. She didn't even know the answer. She knew that a lot of her still hurt and she didn't want Dan to be Monte's replacement. She wanted to enter into a relationship with him when she knew that it was because she cared about him and wanted to spend more time with him and not because she needed someone to fill the hole Monte had left in her.
