???

[digiorno]

You could both just do one or the other. That way no one is "the girl". Or both do both, that's what I would do.

[starmark]

...

Oh.

Okay. You don't think that'd be weird?

[digiorno]

Give me one good reason why it would be weird.

[starmark]

It just feels like it'd be weird.

I don't know. I just don't want to screw up Valentine's Day. Especially not the first one.

[digiorno]

You both worry so much.

It won't be weird. It's a day to spend focusing on how important you are to each other. You do that every day anyway, so you have enough practice that I doubt you'll screw anything up.

[starmark]

I don't know why I do that. I think it's because I watched Columbo a lot as a kid.

...Do you want to learn how to make chocolates?

[digiorno]

Yes. What's Columbo?

[starmark]

It's an American detective show. Someone commits a crime, and the rest of the show is about Columbo investigating and tracking down the clues to let him trap the culprit.

He's really good at picking up on little details and putting them together, and a lot of times when he suspects a guy he catches him by tricking him into giving himself away by mistake. It's really cool.

[digiorno]

So you're like Columbo, except instead of worrying about criminals you worry about boys.

[starmark]

...Yeah. I'm Columbro.

[digiorno]

That is ridiculous. You are ridiculous.

[starmark]

You're allowed to laugh at that, by the way.

[digiorno]

Jotaro, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it wasn't that funny.

[starmark]

What are you talking about? It was great.

[digiorno]

And yet here I am, not laughing.

[starmark]

That's not the joke's fault.

[digiorno]

Yes it is.

[starmark]

No, it's not.

[digiorno]

Yes it is.

[starmark]

No, it's not.

[digiorno]

Yes it is.

Also I have a question.

[starmark]

Sure, what is it?

(No, it's not.)

[digiorno]

YES IT IS

How does everyone in Japan know how to make chocolates for Valentine's Day? Do you have to take a class on it or something? That seems like a very specific present.

[starmark]

NOT

Okay, I'm not just saying this because of the boyfriend thing earlier but I actually don't know firsthand because I'm not a girl. I've never had to make chocolates or anything, guys do White Day and that's more focused on buying stuff than making stuff. I guess because girls are supposed to do homemaker wife stuff and make chocolate from the heart or something, and guys are supposed to spend a bunch of money on them in exchange.

But I think people get their moms to help them and it's just like...melting it and adding stuff to it, or something. You don't have to make it from scratch, I don't think.
