A grunt of thought. "As long as you want. I mean, we won't be announcing it to the whole wide world via news or anything, so whenever." He shrugged. "I can wait, but it pretty much just means that we'd be able to call each other boy friend and girlfriend."
'And doing couple-ish stuff, but I better save up more money before it gets fancy.'

"Right." she said, feeling like an idiot. She shrugged. "Well, I'm ready to make it official... but i-if it's too soon, that's perfectly fine!" she added quickly. Hotaru didn't want him to feel like she was pushing him or anything, that would have been wrong. Okay, she was talking too much now, time to zip it.

He ruffled her hair. It seemed to relax her, at least a little, when he had done it before. With any luck he'd get a good reaction again. "It's fine, so... It looks like I officially have you as my girlfriend." He poked her nose and grinned.

Hotaru giggled. Well, at least it was confirmed. "And it looks as though you're my boyfriend." she smiled when he poked her nose and made a fake attempt at biting his finger.
That wasn't too hard, why did she freak out over it so much then? She guessed she just liked him that much. It was nice to know she could relax again as she continued to smile at Jack.

Jack grinned and pulled back his finger before it got chomped. "Bad kitty." He joked, poking her forehead.
He smiled back at her, a comfortable silence came, broken only by the crash of waves and the caw of the occasional seagull. Hotaru was easy to be around, everything was just much simpler around her. He liked that. There was no huge gap nor painful and frustrating mental games to go through, and that was definitely nice.
A hermit crab scuttling in front of them caught his attention and he stared at it.

Hotaru couldn't help but let out a small "Meow" as he poked her forehead. It was nice to be her real self around another human being, and she was very grateful for that. She didn't know how much of lying to other people she could take without having at least one that she could be honest with.
She noticed the hermit crab Jack had started staring at, and giggled at what she was about to say. "It's Speedy!" she exclaimed, giving the hermit crab a name instantly.

Jack grinned, "Fitting." He said as he watched the miniature dust clouds pick up from Speedy's scuttling. He extended a hand and the crab scuttled onto it. Jack blinked, and began using a subtle version of the Puppy Dog Eyes. "Can his last name be Gonzalas? After the once mouse from those old Loony-Toon things?" The crab snipped his claws in the air. Though since Jack didn't speak crab, he was entirely unsure of what that meant.
The crab crawled its way up to his shoulder and turned to Hotaru, it snipped its claws again.

Hotaru watched the crab crawl up to Jack's shoulder. "Speedy Gonzalas it is, then." she said, moving her finger towards Speedy, but not close enough to where he could pinch her. The Tora didn't know what Loony-Toons even was, but she thought it sounded cute and went with it. Many of the old cartoons from before their era had been long forgotten, and really, Hotaru never had watched much tv growing up anyway.
She watched the crab move back slightly as she cupped her hands together and held them beside Jack's shoulder. After a few moments little Speedy ended up scuttled into her hands.

"I think he likes you." Jack said before he got down to eye-level with the crab. "Don't get any ideas Speedy." He grinned as the little crab snipped his claws at him.

Hotaru giggled to herself when Jack spoke to the hermit crab. "Aw, be nice, children." she said to both of them. She held Speedy to her face quickly kissed the hermit crab's shell. The red head laughed as she sat the crab down and let it crawl away. "Taste salty." she commented, making a playful face.

Jack pouted and shook his fist mock-angrily at the crab. "Yeah, you better run!" In response, Speedy turned around and raised a claw and did a single snip before scuttling away. Jack blinked.
"...Did he just flip me off?" He muttered in puzzlement.

"Maybe he's jelous." she told him, amussed. Hotaru giggled as she looked out to the ocean. "Wait," she said. "can crabs even flip people off?"

Jack furrowed his brow in thought. "That's like asking if the government doesn't have a brain. Everyone will say 'no' but you're never really sure." He shrugged. "If I could speak crab I'd ask him, but I can't so I won't."
He grinned and began to doodle in the sand.

Hotaru looked at him, shrugging. "True." she laid down on the sand again and watched what Jack was drawing on the sand. She smiled, thinking of City Hall.
"What do you think the reactions were from all those government people when they saw what the damage we did?"

Jack grinned. "Something along the lines of:" He took a a deep breath and scowled, continuing in a deep gravelly voice. "Whoever did this will die." He then switched to a nasally underling voice. "But sir, the security guard wa-"
"Was WHAT?" The other voice was back. "Sleeping on the job! I want these people's heads on a silver platter!" He chuckled, his voice his own again. "The worst part is, the supremely pissed overling is my brother."
