[this seems like a hug trap, but he takes the helmet and gets on behind Nagisa. he does the cool straight holding-onto-the-seat, though, instead of holding Nagisa around the middle, because being depressed means he's also less touchy than usual]
[also, Nagisa's waist is about as thick as a bendy straw, so there really isn't much support there]
Go to the sports centre pool. I don't have a swimsuit at Atlaciere.
[don't notice his red-ringed eyes up close, please]
[ more like you just don't want to go by the school in case Makoto is there......... ok. he doesn't even need to look at Rin to know he's a wreck; for one thing it changes his voice, and for another he can smell feelings (and for a third, it's a sensible thing to conclude).
he revs up the engine and rips out of the two parking spaces like he's in GTA, but other than that he's not a completely insane driver. his mom taught him well, they just didn't go over parking lots all that much. since there's no radio to break the silence, Nagisa takes it upon himself to more or less yell over the otherwise soothing wind, ]
Weren't you guys planning on going to the dance tonight?
Umm, borrow Nike-chan! Or you can even take Rora-chan, if you're careful. She's very content if you just let her sit on your shoulder, and don't expect her to dance all the time. She only does it when she's feeling sassy.
[ there is no way a spider has this much personality. he can't think of how to backpedal this conversation, so he's just driving it into a ditch instead. ]
Oh, I bet Maki-chan could bring his sweet little Rosie, then! They could have a lady spider date. So cute...
[ any impotent squeaking and/or wheezing Rin may hear is just the tires, or the engine, or possibly just the wind?? (despite that they are stopped at a red light) it is definitely not the driver, struggling to breathe. ]
Umm, sorry, I forget nobody else lives vicariously through our eight-legged friends except me... I think she's [ wheeze; he's not protesting, though, because Rin very much needs as much hugtime as possible ] mad at me because I'm taking somebody that isn't her. —A-Anyways...
[ anyways what. he gets preoccupied in carefully executing a left turn without toppling the bike over, it's heavier than the essential weightlessness that he's used to. ]
[ his shoulders tense a little, royally embarrassed and not in a gay way. he can't really admit out loud that he only agreed to go out with him because he's super hot, but. yknow. that's about it. well, that and he's sweet and charming, but on Valentines that somehow doesn't seem like enough. ]
He's not going with me to the ball. Um, he's more of a... pre-date... date.
[ and here he had thought that would sound better out loud. amazing. it sounds worse. ]
[more grumbles, because he's forgotten he figured it out with Makoto already, because Makoto is dead. romance is dead. life is pointless, he's just going to become a jellyfish. haru route unlocked]

I don't know.
Re: lol steampunk
[ lets not make this worse ]
Or you know, just in general. Bring a pet as a date, it was great when I took Rora-chan to that one ball. She had a great time!
Re: lol steampunk
...I don't have any pets...

Re: lol steampunk
[meanly, probably, but to be fair, he's having the worst day of his entire life (anyone's life, definitely)]
Ch, that idiot Kisumi... don't let him get too carried away.
[what if he steals Nagisa's first kiss with that stupid "kiss-u me kisumi!" joke... he'll have to destroy him]
