[Right on the money; he'd heard that a number of times and understood what that meant, but he was always hoping for something... s-spicier! But not TOO spicy!

To answer his question, it's obvious Kanji put his hand to cup the receiver, as if to keep this phone conversation doubly secret.]

Y-yeah, she's got her birthday on the 27th. She's one'a those "I don't want anything" types.

[The thing with Naoto is that she prefers thoughts put into things rather than the expensive stuff. Well, that's what Souji's got from her.]

I know it sounds cliche, but I do believe she will appreciate any gift you get her. If you put a thought to it, she'll know you really mean it.

As for other stuff, well... I suppose it depends on how the evening is going. Sometimes not saying anything can make things more romantic, or just holding hands. Do the things she enjoys. And most importantly- don't rush it. It'll feel like you just want sex instead of showing you're thinking about her.

[Yes, he used the word.

Again, all of this is very broad as he doesn't know what Naoto is into, and it'll feel like prodding if he asks. She's a complete opposite of Yosuke who's open and receptive.]

[He thought back to moments where they just sat on the couch, Naoto curled up with a book while he was putting some groundwork into a cross-stitch or starting what would be a blanket that would comfortably house two on a chilly night. They didn't talk then, but would still feel that something was wrong or missing if either one of them left the room. Kanji wondered if there was a chroma generated by simply being near each other like that, rather than touching.]

R-right, makes sense. Don't just be all... "moonlacey", and don't get hasty.

[Good god, the ease with which he just SAYS THE WORD. He's got some catching up to do!]

I dunno, I always kinda wanted to be like... the way she makes me. She makes my damn socks pop off or I'll need a minute to soak my head just because she smiled at me or she knows how to look at me and eat a damn strawberry. She's a seriously good tease and I fuckin' love it...!

I just- I wanna be the one to make her sweat a little for once, even the score!

[And to think Souji arrived here as a virgin. Kanji shouldn't be surprised though, Souji has always been open and honest about everything. Beating around the bush isn't his thing.]

I see... well, perhaps her birthday wouldn't be the best day to do it. The teasing part. I mean, you can still have romantic birthday sex with her but-

-if you wish to get her distracted... you're a good looking guy. You have way more muscles than me or anyone I know.

Have you ever considered working out in front of her? Just, you know... casually working out, while showing off how good you look? Or walked around shirtless?

[...]

[A few awkward attempts to speak here. It's like his world's just opened up a little more. Wait- did he call him a good-looking guy!? Was... was he really?]

In front of her? No... shit, I should, shouldn't I?

Damn, I always stressed not lookin' too casual at home so I don't look like a bum. Maybe I should just keep the shirts in the wardrobe for a while. Maybe the days leadin' up to the big one... drive her a bit crazy...

Then on her birthday, I'm keepin' it casual, but keepin' her guessing! She's the detective, I gotta curveball...!

[Scribbling. He's really writing this down.]

I mean, if she teases you, you should tease back, right? It's a two-lane street.

[Though he's not sure about that phrasing. Curveball...]

Don't do it completely naked, wear a sleeveless shirt. Leave something for her imagination. It's more effective that way.

Also- language. Limit crude phrases. [Curveball. He's still wincing.] Um, how to put it... don't imply you're up to anything. Just do your thing and don't look at her. Even if or when she says you look ridiculous and should put on clothes- she'll still be sneaking glances your way. [This always works with Yosuke, so success rate on Naoto is up in the air.]

[Is curveball something different from what he was aware of...?]

I'm, uh, not good at dirty talk anyways. But I can be casual, I think! It's warm enough to start wearin' the sleeveless, too...

[A pen tapping.]

Thanks for this, by the way. It's a huge help, man.

[No, it's just a none too flattering phrase that Souji hopes Kanji doesn't use all the time.]

It's not just dirty talk; keep swears to a minimum. They are sexy only in the middle of "it".

[Souji smiles into the receiver-]

I'm glad I could help. [Is this really helping?] Tell me how it goes, okay? [If something goes horribly wrong, he'll apologize to Naoto, cuz he gave Kanji the idea.]

[He laughed- God, did he know that.]

Yeah, I've been tryin' to clean up my mouth these last couple years, but old habits die pretty hard, ya know? Good to know it's off the table when it comes to bein' in bed.

[At least, Naoto hasn't complained about it when they were together. The thought of her losing it with an f-bomb was... oh god.]

Yeah, I'll letcha know. If somethin' else pops up, you know how to get in touch. I'll seeya later.

No problem, Kanji, any time. I'll see you later- say hi to Naoto for me!
