he still agrees, actually? he thinks romance here is kind of stupid, especially looking at what happened to all of the known couples here. they all died? there's gay drama? it just is another thing to get in the way, or can be used against you, in some way. takeru doesn't even really want to become friends with any of these people, much less fall in love with them. but something about what mineo said pissed him off.

(well. not just something; he knows exactly why it got on his nerves, but the reason isn't something that he'd ever share.)

but it's because of that something that, when mineo started talking about confessions, and how there were actually complicated feelings involved in his idiotic social circle, that takeru decided it was best to back out. why should he keep taking mineo's firsts for no reason other than he can? and when mineo explained further, about how takeru is a priority, it--

it's stupid. there's something in what mineo is saying that just dumbfounds takeru, because it really is ridiculous that he would go so far for someone as incredibly selfish as him. ]
