ode to an icecube

some people say i'm tsun
but i don't think it's true
some people say i'm crazy
so yeah i'm crazy for you

okay so you're kinda an icecube
but i think you'll probably melt real soon
this line's about sea cucumbers
this line's about the moon

so we don't have much in common
we're in different hemispheres
you've gotta a lotta geothermal activity
i've got tons of skyscrapers

hey that didn't really rhyme
but here you go: my GDP's amazing
you can bet i'm the best when it comes
to investing i'm a total tax haven

that's a total lie and it didn't rhyme either
i kinda suck at poetry but i'm totally sincere
even though my expression's lacking, hey
i'll be your arthur if you'll be my guinevere

i pulled that off a lot better before
when it was a helen of troy joke
not that i'm referencing trojans here
but i still think i'm a pretty handsome bloke

give me one more chance
i'll really set you reeling
i was totally serious before y'know
i wanna know how you're feeling

[ no this isn't about anyone in particular why would you think that
also why am i posting this, why didn't someone stop me ]

[ What does this face tell you? ]

[Video]

[meilihua]

[Suddenly a huge, brilliant, thousand-watt smile] Ahh that is sooooo cute-!

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ Aw, don't do that, he's blushing more now. ] Don't tell anyone else, okay?

[Video]

[meilihua]

I promise!

[Buuut...] So what are you going to do about it...?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Not give him this, that's for sure. [ Meaning the poem. ]

[Video]

[meilihua]

W-well... [God no] Do you want to let him know how you feel?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

I dunno. I'm not really sure.

[ Shifting his weight nervously. ]

[Video]

[meilihua]

Do you think he likes you back? [She's...probably barely addressing the question to you, Hong Kong, her brain is off in drama-world]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ He feels a little redundant here. ]

I dunno. I didn't ask about that either.

[Video]

[meilihua]

No way, you talked to him about this already?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

No way, I mean, like. If I did, I wouldn't just ask him. 'Hey Ice, d'you like me?' I can't do that.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Eh? Why not? That sounds fine!

[Video]

[bauhinia]

It'd be way too startling to just say that outta the blue. [ Deadpan. He does this all the time though..... ]

[Video]

[meilihua]

Well, I guess we could try to think of a better way to say it...

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ Sobbing, "we." ]

Yeah? Like what? Should I put it up in neon lights? "Hey, Iceland, you're pretty cool, but I want you to know, I've got the hots for you.'

[ Again, totally deadpan somehow. ] He was only here for like, a week or something when I got here and he hasn't been back yet. I might not even be able to say it, y'know?

[Video]

[meilihua]

[No way, Hong Kong, that idea is totally uncool!] But still! He must've made a really good impression!

...Though it's weird that you suddenly bring it up...

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ It's better than a lame and weird poem! ] I knew him from home and stuff too. [ ... not blushing. ]

I'm telling you, I dunno why it came up all the sudden. Valentine's or something.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Y-you don't think it's something weird about this place, do you...?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Almost everything is. But definitely not the whole... crush thing. That happened before I got here.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Whoa! For how long? [HOW DID SHE NOT NOTICE SHE IS THE WORST SISTER EVER]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

It hasn't been a long time or anything. [ He tries to turn aside and fiddle with who knows what. ] It's just like, y'know. It's a crush.

[Video]

[meilihua]

[beating herself up about it anyway] How did I miss it...

[Video]

[bauhinia]

[ Now he turns back, just giving her this look. 'Duh, because I was super good at hiding it!' ]

[Video]

[meilihua]

[Good thing she's fluent in Hong Kong Looks] W-well, yeah, but STILL.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

It was like, supposed to be a secret, yeah?

[ He did such a good job of keeping it...... ]
