Because it depends on the context of which they are used. There's a third meaning as well.

[enigmaster]

How many meanings are there? [he looks downright offended at the very concept WHAT ELSE IS THERE]

[agoodname]

Three that I can think of off the top of my head. [he hums] The first one is the fruit; you're right on that. The second is a way of telling what day, month and year it is. And the last one is...doing activities at a planned specific time with someone, sometimes friends, or, more commonly, someone you have a romantic interest in.

[enigmaster]

[wait romantic????] ...so this is like... the third one? [like in a friend way right because obviously it cannot be romantic]

[agoodname]

That was the intent, yes. Hence why I thought it would be important that you be aware of that. [he is trying so hard not to look super nervous right about now and just keep that calm, mildly amused demeanor but alskdhfs he kind of feels like his stomach is tied up in thousands of knots]

[enigmaster]

Like how... mortal friends date? [this is a lot okay and no one should "date" death]

1/2

[agoodname]

[okay but fuck the "should"s, actually] ...no.

2/2

[agoodname]

Unless that is what you would prefer and you have no romantic interest in me whatsoever.

[enigmaster]

[...hm???] You... ...have a romantic interest... in... me?

[agoodname]

Yes. [so there's...no confusion asldkfhs he can feel his ears going red though]

[enigmaster]

Are you sure?

[agoodname]

Quite sure. [he props his chin in his hand again, trying to appear very confident about all this--even though he's rather very not.]

[enigmaster]

[What. Does he do with this? A mortal, having a romantic interest in him, it's-- Perhaps if he were an Olympian, such a thing would be fine. It happens all the time, with them, he thinks. Or the other way around, certainly. Even some of the other Underworld residents might be a better fit. But he-- He's not... ...] I... I am not entirely certain if... I am capable of feelings like that.

[agoodname]

No? [he tilts his head] Would you like to find out? [it's...risky. But worth a shot???]

[enigmaster]

[No.] I... [Say no.] Um. [Tell him no.] ...How would I do that?

[agoodname]

Well...there's a couple different things we could try, I suppose. [he pushes to his feet] Here--scoot your chair back a bit.

[enigmaster]

Oh. Very well. [scoot, scoot]

[agoodname]

Now, sit still a moment. [and with that he's going to just...invite himself to sit sideways across Enygma's lap, leaning into his chest, shifting a bit to get comfortable before tucking his head against his shoulder] There.

[enigmaster]

[what WHAT??? Enygma almost leans back a little, but more so he's frozen. Completely stiff. Just, glancing at Osvaldus.] Um. There... what? [HELP] I'm very confused... [and a little bit red]

[agoodname]

[He can't help but smirk a bit at that in amusement, but...it's fine, his head is tucked against Enygma's shoulder, he probably can't see all of it] Here--just put your arms around me. One here--[he's reaching to gently ease one of his arms around his back and over his side, hand resting on his hip--] --and the other here. [and he'll tug his other arm, so Enygma's other hand is resting on his knee] And just...relax. I don't bite, you know~

[enigmaster]

[Osvaldus has no problem tugging Enygma's arms into place. As if he's molding clay, Enygma simply stays where he's put. Mostly because he has no clue what is happening.] I-I am very relaxed! [he is not.]

[agoodname]

[alsdkhfs help he can't help but sputter into a laugh, which he muffles into his shoulder] You---you are not relaxed at all! [still muffled, before he lifts his head a bit, eyes crinkling in fondness] Really, I'm going to give your brother an earful. Has he never hugged you or anything?

[enigmaster]

We-- We are not exactly a hugging sort of family! [help him]

[agoodname]

I can tell! [oh help he's so amused right now, Enygma's so cute] Honestly, hold on-- [and he's reaching out to grab the hummus and the bread, tearing off a piece and dipping it in, before offering it out]--open your mouth.

[enigmaster]

Um. I... Okay? [he'll? do? that???]
