Train: ‘Umm . . . I have something I want to talk to you about . . . ’
Hermes: ‘What is it?’
Train: ‘By the time I became aware of it, I had strong feelings for you. I’d really like us to go out seriously. That is, if you don’t mind.’ Go the standard way---o.

All right. Jumped in and out of the shower at max speed.
Cleaned down there too.
So now, what do I wear?

Train:
‘There’s something I need to talk to you about.’
Hermes:
Tilting her head a bit, ‘What is it?’
Train:
‘As I mentioned to you before, I haven’t had much experience with girls. That’s why I need to know how you feel about me, why you ask me out to dinner and places.’
Hermes:
‘. . . . . . . . .’
Train:
‘But there’s one thing I can say for sure.’
Hermes:
‘What can you say?’
Train:
‘I’m attracted to you. At first I thought I was attracted to you just because I wasn’t around other women. But that’s not what it is. The more time I spent with you, the more I talked to you, the more I came to know that I was attracted to you. I know that having somebody like me tell you that could be more of a pain than anything. But I wanted to make sure I told you this today. I really like you and would like to go out with you.’

They sit facing each other on a sofa.
Hermes:
‘Umm . . . . . . . ’
Train:
‘Yes?’
Hermes:
‘Can I sit next to you? You seem so far away.’
Train:
‘Oh, aah, yes. Of course. Please do.’
Hermes walks over to sit next to Train.
Train:
‘This is making me a bit self-conscious.’
Hermes:
‘Don’t you want me here?’
Train:
‘God, no. I’m happy you’re there.’
Hermes reaches for Train’s hand.
Hermes:
‘ It’s the first time I’ve seen a man’s hands so up close and personal.’
Train:
‘Wwwwell, my hand is not anything special. It’s not pretty, nor is it strong-looking.’
Hermes:
‘ No. These are the hands that protected me on that train. They are the strongest in the world for me, at least.’
Train:
‘Thanks but I really am a wimp . . . ’
Hermes sits in silence, peering into Train’s eyes intently.
With racing heart, Train meets Hermes’ eyes.
Hermes softly closes her eyes.
Train:
‘Wha . . . . . . ’
Hermes:
With eyes still closed, whispers ‘You don’t want to?’
Train:
‘Wha wha wha what, no . . . no, of course I do.’
Train puts his arms around Hermes and pulls her close.
Their lips meet.

‘Mummy, where did you meet Daddy?’
‘Why the sudden interest?’
‘Tell me, tell me. Where did you meet?’
‘Oh honey, why are you suddenly so interested? Well . . . Mummy was on the train one evening when a man accosted me and Daddy came to rescue me. That was how we met.’
‘Really? Daddy looks so wimpy but I guess he was cool back then’
‘That’s why your father is my hero. Then and now.’
‘Was it love at first sight?’
‘Little Train, where did you learn that expression? But yes, yes, I would have to say that when I saw him, I felt like he was “the one’’’
‘Whoa. You guys are so lovey-dovey.’
‘Honey, please don’t make fun of us . . . ’
Ooooo . . . . . . I can’t take it anymore.

Hermes Lingo Log
‘Hee hee, I was actually just hiding that cat in the bag.’
‘I’ll just hold on tightly to you.’
‘Must be that you can’t hear when you’re told.’
‘But my friends say I look like a Moomin.’
‘Japanese cuisine suits your vibe.’
‘Well then, I guess I’ll get dressed up too.’
‘It’s nice because there aren’t many people like that.’
‘Do you wanna see my dog?’
‘Were you being a hero on the train again?’
‘This feels much better.’
‘Make sure to follow me.’
‘I’ve changed my mind. Will you walk me home?’
‘If we could commute like this together . . . it would be so great . . .’
That’s it for now.

Man, she s
aid that her parents were out till evening but I have a hunch that the parents know that Train is coming over and will come home early.
Father:
‘Well, that nice boy did save our baby Hermes. We have to at least see his face.’
Mother:
‘You’re so silly! Why don’t you calm down a bit.’
Her:
‘Mum, Dad, please don’t say anything silly to my Train, ok?’
Father:
‘Oh, he’s your Train now is he? Honey, this is getting exciting!’
Mother:
‘My word! Little Her . . . my, my . . . . . .

‘I mean she won’t stop talking about the time you rescued her. Even now.’

They’ve held hands but they’re so formal when they talk.
I wonder if they’ll be so formal when they have sex.
Train:
‘May I enter?’
Her:
‘Yes, please.’
Train:
‘Does this feel pleasant?’
Her:
‘Yes, it is pleasant.’ (covers mouth to laugh)

‘I am about to come.’

‘Yes. Please, do.’
Hey, it sounds like royal family sex.

So then, dinner time rolls around which makes me wonder what Train & Co. are planning.
• Dine together
• Cooking together
• Hungry after sex, already out at a restaurant together
• Parents return. Hermes and her mother are busy cooking. Train and Hermes’ father are sipping brandy, having a man-to-man talk.
• Already buddy-buddy with entire family
Which oh which oh which could it be?

Uh-uh, no way. Not an option.

There’s too much of a backlog so I’m gonna give my report first.
Just a sec.
396 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 18/04/04 20:21
So I quickly got ready and went out.
I remembered how to get to her place pretty easily. It was basically one straight road from the station.
I stood at her front gate. Being super nervous, it took me 2 minutes to muster the strength to ring the doorbell. I swallowed hard and pressed the bell.
‘Who is it?’
‘It’s me, Train.’
‘I’ll be right there.’
Soon after the large door beyond the gate opened.
She walked over and opened the gate.
‘Please, come in.’
I entered.
She wasn’t dressed in chillin-at-ho
me clothes but she was dressed pretty casual.
But even in her hang-out wear, she was well stylish. Casual is goood, I thought.
‘I’m sorry I called you out at such short notice,’ she apologised
‘I wasn’t doing anything anyway’
It was clean and spacious inside. Really different from my house.
Smelled nice, too. She took me into a room and there sat the doggy, welcoming me.
The furry dude was wayway cute pantpant
413 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 18/04/04 20:36
So I stroked the doggy.
The room was spacious and spotless. There aren’t any rooms like that at home.
‘Please, sit down.’
I sat down on a large couch.
‘Let me make some tea. Which would you prefer? Coffee or tea?’
‘I’d prefer tea, please.’
I placed the teacups on the table.
‘You really haven’t touched them have you?’
‘We only drink green tea at home.’
‘Would you have preferred Japanese teacups?’
‘No, not at all. I’ll just put these ones on display.’
We joked for a bit.
‘Let me warm up the cups’
She took the cups into the kitchen.
After a while she returned with a tray filled with what looked like coffee stuff and placed it on the table. When she leaned forward to place the tray on the table, I got a peek at her cleavage. (;˚∀˚)=3 arruffruff
