015 - At least I've got these photos...

[slave_of_suzumiya]

(... So, the memories we gained on Valentine's were bogus, huh? Of course, I mean... Me and Sasaki? She was a good friend and quite cute and all, but her general assertion that love was a form of illness. Of course it wasn't real. Despite any interest I may or may not have in her, there's no way she'd ever reciprocate such things. And of course, while we were in the middle of a date of all things, Haruhi just had to turn up and send things to hell. ... I'm sure that gave her a great first impression of Sasaki, huh?

I have to wonder, would it have been worth keeping those memories? All the wonderful time Sasaki and I never had as a real couple... Then again, reality is reality, better to live in real life than live in a fantasy. Regardless of how unrealistic reality may be, it's my life and I'll live it the way I want. That's why I turned down Nagato's fantasy after all, isn't it? The reason I put my life on the line to bring back the Brigade... Oh well, at least I've managed to get one of those laptops Haruhi extorted from the Computer Research Society in exchange for this nonsense. And all those photos of Miss Asahina are still there too...)

[Today, you may find Kyon sitting in the park with a laptop...]

Hmm... No internet access. Figured as much. At least all my files are still here. Not that there's a whole lot of worth considering it's almost all stuff Haruhi had me working on.

Ah, I see...

(Y'know, Nagato could probably handle it if I had any technical difficulties.)

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's interesting though.

So, how went Valentine's Day for you?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Valentine's Day? I remembered an old relationship with an old friend of mine which I think it's safe to say never actually happened.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got something like that too.

Is it awkward now?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, we were always pretty close in middle school... I guess it's a little awkward, but not much has changed.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Okay, good. I am hoping to avoid class being awkward after all of that too.

[[When isn't Aaron awkward though?]]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

So who did you end up stuck with?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Well... I think it was more she was stuck with me but...

The Queen of England.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

The Queen of England? Seriously?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Well, she isn't the Queen yet. But she is in my classes.

It was strange. She's been pretty cool about it.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Oh, Elizabeth, right? I believe she's in the same house as another friend of mine...

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the town gave me a whole life's worth of memories and made me think I was the reincarnation of...

[[Someone cooler.]]

... some guy named Zachariah.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Really? That's pretty elaborate. The memories I got were basically just a relationship upgrade along with a continuing relationship during high school.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I guess it is a little complex.

Then again, how would have that had worked otherwise I guess?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, myself and Sasaki is pretty simple compared to that. In fact, I believe some of our old classmates even went as far as simply making the assumption we were together in real life anyway.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I guess I can see how that could be simple.

At least you got to be you.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah. I'm still wondering whether this could have any long term impacts though...

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I was kind of worried about that too.

I guess we'll see. At least I got to talk to her about it.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

At least it wasn't a close old personal friend in your case? The memories were less convoluted, but the feelings are more complicated.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

It's still complicated... I mean... but yeah.

At least it isn't changing a past we actually have together.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Yeah, exactly... And with a close friend... Well, who's to say what exactly something like that might stir between us?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

That's true. Hey, you did say you didn't have a girlfriend. Maybe this will end in a good way?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Who knows, perhaps it could.

(Of course, the main concern if that happened would still be Haruhi. She didn't react too well to catching us on a date.)

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Like Aaron knows better.]]

Maybe. It might be good, so good luck.
