Episode 314: Ridiculous Thoughts"Your dad said you can discuss acting once you’ve got school under your belt. That’s something. It’ll be worse if you quit now. You’ll be kicked out of your family like your sister." His fingers caressed her cheek. He leaned in and kissed her temple despite knowing the danger. "I couldn’t bare to see you go through that.""Could you bare to come visit me at least? That’ll help me get through anything. We could spend weekends together off campus someplace. It’ll be amazing." She reached up, her soft fingertips brushing his neck. Taro reluctantly bought himself some distance on the sofa. Staying friends with her - just friends - all summer had been easy at times given her entertaining personality and tortuous at others given her pretty face, silky, long blonde hair and coltish legs. More and more there were moments she’d touch him. He’d touch her. Perfectly innocuous yet dangerous. Not only did she need to graduate for her own good but he needed her to go for his sake. "I’m too old for you." "You’ve said that but look how great we’ve gotten along all summer. It’s not like we’re coming from different planets." "I’m your brother’s best friend, guys have a code." "It's not like you’re a creep. You’re a better man than he is, I’ve heard him say it. You’re smart. You’re responsible. You’re-" "I’m Japanese." "That’s like the one thing my dad’s cool about. My other boyfriend was African-American." "I’ve told you about my parents. They’re very traditional. If it weren’t for their careers they never would’ve even come to America. They wouldn’t want me to be with a blonde." "So we’ll sneak around. Bassie can give us pointers." Taro cringed, hating himself. "The thing is Adria and I’m ashamed of this, but I’m not sure I’m open-minded enough to be with a blonde."
