thetrafficqueen: Alright hopeless romantics. I need to settle a debate with my shogi-obsessed headache of a boyfriend.

thetrafficqueen: What is the absolute weirdest, most unhinged romantic gesture your partner has ever done for you?

kenjikeiji: Yumi, we are literally in the middle of a shift.

thetrafficqueen: You have been staring at the back of Takagi-kun's head for twenty minutes instead of doing your paperwork, Miwako. Answer the question.

taru_kun: She was staring at me? :D

kenjikeiji: I was looking at the clock ABOVE your head, Takagi.

chibu: I'll go!

chibu: Naeko tried to cook me a romantic dinner last week.

chibu: She wanted to make a heart-shaped hamburger steak.

chibu: But she got distracted by a cat outside the window and it caught on fire.

1bsensei: The cat caught on fire?!

chibu: No! The steak!

chibu: We had to use the fire extinguisher.

chibu: We ended up eating convenience store noodles on the floor while it aired out.

chibu: It smelled like chemicals and burnt meat for three days.

taru_kun: Aww, that's actually really sweet Chiba! It's the thought that counts!

thetrafficqueen: That’s cute but not unhinged.

thetrafficqueen: Next.

1bsensei: Oh I have one!

1bsensei: Ninzaburo tried to write me a love poem in French for our anniversary last month.

thetrafficqueen: That ISN'T weird.

1bsensei: He used a highly defective police translation app.

1bsensei: He accidentally told me that my smile was a "major traffic violation" and that my eyes looked like "confiscated contraband."

taru_kun: PFFFFT.

thetrafficqueen: I AM CRYING. SHIRATORI, YOU ROMEO.

unverreaparis: Sumiko, my love, I begged you to delete that text message.

unverreaparis: The software was completely inadequate for the delicate nuance of the French language!

unverreaparis: I have since hired a private linguistic tutor to ensure I never insult your beauty with legal jargon again!

kenjikeiji: "Confiscated contraband."

kenjikeiji: I am putting that on a plaque for your desk Keibu.

unverreaparis: Sato-san, I am technically your superior officer. Please show some mercy.

1bsensei: It's okay, Ninzaburo. I printed it out and framed it.

1bsensei: I keep it in my desk at school❤️

thetrafficqueen: Alright Miwako-chan your turn.

thetrafficqueen: Expose the rookie.

thetrafficqueen: What's the weirdest thing Takagi-kun has done?

kenjikeiji: He's actually very normal and sweet.

kenjikeiji: He buys me flowers.

kenjikeiji: When I'm having a stressful day he brings me that milk chocolate that I'm obsessed with.

kenjikeiji: Oh, wait.

kenjikeiji: Last winter, he tried to knit me a scarf.

taru_kun: SATO-SAN!

taru_kun: We agreed to NEVER speak of the scarf!

thetrafficqueen: SPILL.

chibu: Wait, Takagi-san knows how to knit?!

kenjikeiji: He does not.

kenjikeiji: It was supposed to be red, but he ran out of yarn and finished it with neon yellow.

kenjikeiji: It was six feet long and covered in giant gaping holes.

kenjikeiji: It looked like a radioactive fishing net.

kenjikeiji: He presented it to me with a band-aid on every single one of his fingers.

1bsensei: Oh my goodness, Takagi-san!

1bsensei: That is so incredibly endearing!

1bsensei: You hurt your fingers for her!

thetrafficqueen: Wait.

thetrafficqueen: Does she ACTUALLY wear it?

taru_kun: Only when she's sick and watching TV on the couch. 🥺

kenjikeiji: Wataru stop giving them details!

kenjikeiji: I only wear it because it's warm!

thetrafficqueen: Alright Takagi-kun.

thetrafficqueen: Your turn.

thetrafficqueen: Expose the Siren.

taru_kun: Oh that's easy!

taru_kun: For my birthday last year, Sato-san took me to a batting cage!

taru_kun: She wanted to show off her swing, but she got so competitive with the pitching machine that she swung too hard and literally snapped the aluminum bat in half.

taru_kun: The front half of the bat flew across the cage and completely shattered the machine's camera.

chibu: SHE SHATTERED THE MACHINE?!

taru_kun: We had to sprint to the car and speed away before the manager could call the cops.

taru_kun: It was the first time in our career lives that we fled the scene of a crime!

taru_kun: She was gripping the steering wheel so tight, drifting around the corner...

taru_kun: and I just looked at her and thought...

taru_kun: wow

taru_kun: It was the most romantic date of my entire life. 😍

thetrafficqueen: ...

unverreaparis: ...

1bsensei: Oh my.

kenjikeiji: I MAILED THEM AN ENVELOPE OF CASH TO COVER THE DAMAGES THE VERY NEXT DAY!

kenjikeiji: ANONYMOUSLY!

thetrafficqueen: Takagi-kun.

thetrafficqueen: Your girlfriend committed property damage, then forced you to become an accomplice in her escape, and your only thought was that she looked hot?

taru_kun: She looked really cool when she swung the bat!

taru_kun: and her driving was very impressive!

chibu: You are completely beyond saving Takagi-san.

unverreaparis: I retract my previous statement.

unverreaparis: The "confiscated contraband" poem is significantly less embarrassing than committing a misdemeanor as a bonding activity.

1bsensei: I think it shows a lot of loyalty!

thetrafficqueen: Well, I think we have a winner.

thetrafficqueen: Takagi is officially the biggest simp in Tokyo.

thetrafficqueen: May you both survive your next date night without getting arrested by your own department.
