[More gently, as he picks up on Chihiro's unease. Because he's an asshole, however, Simon doesn't even bother to assume that any of this could be his fault.]
You know you're welcome to hit me up any time for a private sesh, though, right?
I'm serious. I wanna help you!
[And, he needs lackeys. This one seems impressionable enough. Simon knows how loyalty is won.]
N-no! It's not that! It's not that at all. I just—
[ Oh how does he explain himself without explaining too much? A conundrum. One he doesn't get to contemplate a whole lot as Simon takes a dive and completely gets the wrong idea. ]
[Simon, being pretty fucking awkward himself, decides that maybe it's time to return to the original subject. That's not socially acceptable, but it's not like he has any idea.]
Sooo...
D'you wanna meet me at the batting cages next Tuesday? A bunch of us are goin' to practice our aim n' stuff, and since it sounds like you're a little shy about startin' lessons...
It might be a good way to get you in the, uh-
[He clicks his tongue.]
Gear of things! And meet some new people.
C'mon! It'll be fun. And I'll be there!
[slow ur roll thirsty]
If you freak out or don't think you can handle it, I'll just walk ya home.
[ It's okay, Chihiro's a little relieved they're back to this. Even if he's still blushing because of before. But also because he's embarrassed that Simon has to point out the potential for Chihiro to freak out ... Ahhh. ]

It'll just be you and me.
AWLEF I AM SORRY HIS CIRCUMSTANCES ARE THIS.
Date: 2021-04-06 05:40 am (UTC)[ He hopes he can get up the courage. Just.
The Mondo Incident is still very fresh to him, even if no one else in this place happens to know about it (and it's better that way).
He swallows, thinking for a moment. ]
I-it doesn't have to be alone right? I'm sure other people want to train- Well, I guess it wouldn't be in the middle of the night either...
[ Chihiro what ]
1/? i'm so sorry for these
Date: 2021-04-06 06:03 am (UTC)Huh? You don't have to train with me if you don't want to.
[His nose scrunches up bigtime.]
Why would we be training in the middle of the-

2/4 JUST BECAUSE
Date: 2021-04-06 09:10 pm (UTC)WHAT. WAIT. ]
3/4
Date: 2021-04-06 09:11 pm (UTC)This is not what Chihiro intended????
Simon must think he's a girl. That much is obvious. but
Does he look like THAT KIND of girl? Oh no... what should he do.
He can feel that his face is extremely hot, so he knows it must be the color of a fire hydrant. ]
4/4
Date: 2021-04-06 09:13 pm (UTC)That— That's not what I meant!! I-I'm sorry!
I don't really know what to say to that, so—
[ AWLKWLKEJFAWEF????
In computer related terms, he's just short-circuited ]
I didn't mean to give you ideas about me!!
no subject
Date: 2021-04-06 09:17 pm (UTC)I didn't mean to imply that you were-
[He's now waving his hands frantically in front of his body, rip, smol nerd and tol nerd.]
Or that I was...! I can assure you that I have never engaged in that type of... Erm, activity.
SORRY FOR THE WAIT
Date: 2021-04-17 09:15 pm (UTC)Also with anyone else, admitting you're a virgin like that is probably not the greatest idea. Thankfully Chihiro's not in any position to judge. ]
I-I see. Then... um...
[ He doesn't know what to say. Where do you go when you've reached the point of no return. ]
YOU ARE GOOD FRIEND no need to apologize!!!
Date: 2021-04-18 12:45 am (UTC)Sooo...

Date: 2021-04-28 06:17 pm (UTC)R...right.
[ Uuu... he fidgets a little. ]
Okay. I'll come! I'll be there...for- for sure.
no subject
Date: 2021-05-01 03:05 am (UTC)[Simon doesn't realize how commanding that sounds. After all, he isn't used to most normal human interaction.]
We're gonna have so much fun.
[aka... get ready to sweat, chihiro]
no subject
Date: 2021-05-08 07:25 pm (UTC)"so much fun" doesn't mean murder, right??? ]
Um... yeah. Aha... can't wait.
I'll do my best...
