I talk to plenty of people here.

I just don't think we talk about things that would make them fall for me.

[sengokus]

Ah... I guess that's true...

[takeru has been working well enough with others. his meetings! but mineo just hums quietly]

I don't mind being the only person who gets to see some sides of you either.

[ . . . . he flusters again ugghhh embarrassing]

[dotcom]

Ah. Monopolizing.

[ he kisses him on the cheek. ]

[sengokus]

[HE JUST GETS MORE EMBARRASSED]

—I don't mean to be...!

[dotcom]

No, I think I like it.

[ the jealousy.

there's a pause. ]

I've had sex with two other people though.

[ he. covers his mouth. ]

[sengokus]

[it's hard to say if he's jealous because physical stuff bothers him less here





but he's going to just move to try to pull takeru's hand away from his mouth]

Who?

[dotcom]

Mollymauk and Medb.

[ takeru fucked the m's....... ]

[sengokus]

[wow he really did]

Wow, you got intimate Molly before I did and he's been offering to me since the first few weeks. [THERE'S NO FILTER HERE]

That's fine, you don't really need to hide it from me? We were supposed to indulge and all.

If you like someone else, that's okay too...?

[dotcom]

You can always give him an offer now that you're experienced?

[ he gives him another smooch

... and then ponders. ]

There's no one else here I could be with. You're the only one who really knows anything about me.

[sengokus]

[he'll take the kiss but he's clearly struggling with what to say to that??? the curse doesn't hit quite as hard this time so he's just]

I... I don't... No, I don't think I will...

[he's not going to proposition people he's so bad at initiating as takeru has dealt with]

... do you only want to be with me because I know things about you and I'm around...?

[what a way to say that]

[dotcom]

[ he blinks, his expression a little confused, before he kisses mineo on both cheeks. ]

No, stupid. I just-- in general, I don't think a relationship would really work out with me otherwise. If it's going to get serious.

[ so, casual dating? sure. but he really has too much baggage for something serious and longterm to work out if the other person knows nothing. and takeru wouldn't just willingly offer that info to people, even if he cares about them. ]

So it just worked out. That you do.

[sengokus]

Mm...

[just. a soft little contemplative noise from him as he leans down and nuzzles his face briefly against takeru's. it's probably silly when they literally just went over the fact that they aren't sure if they'll be able to date for a while but.]

... I'm glad I know you, and everything you've trusted me with.

I meant it when I said I don't think it's that hard to fall for you, once you trust people with things and open up to them. But if you like me.... it really does make me feel lucky.

[dotcom]

Well... it's apparently not that hard to fall for you in general.

[ mineo your line of confessions

but he sighs. ]

Even if there was anyone else... I don't think there's anyone who understands me as well as you do.

[sengokus]

[stop!! he flusters a little at the idea that it's easy to fall for him? please,]

I think I have twenty-three years of experience that says otherwise...

[he really wasn't that popular before he got here at all. mineo your fucking blunders. but he just pauses at that before he leans in to give takeru another kiss]

.... I really do like you. [he has other things that he could say maybe but - that's the thought that comes up first] Even if all we do is yell at each other and get mad in public...

I really like you.

[dotcom]

... I really like you, too.

[ it's such a quiet admission, especially after how much they yelled earlier in front of everyone. ]

I don't know how it happened. But I am glad it did.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . cute and soft and he just melts a little bit from it, claiming another kiss after. terrible. they really shouldn't kiss this much.]

.... gonna be honest, no idea how we'd even try to explain this to Yanagi-senpai.

[dotcom]

... no. It'd be hard to explain to all of them. Shiraishi... Ichika...

[ he trails off, frowning.

and then kisses mineo again. ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he accepts the kiss but he does look a little confused.]

Something wrong?

[dotcom]

I have feelings for Ichika.

[ he looks very torn after saying it, like it is. extremely obvious he did not want to. ]

... had? I don't know anymore. It was a strange situation, and I don't think it could have ever worked out between us. I didn't really hesitate to leave her behind, when I got the offer.

[sengokus]

[this is so serious and they have to discuss it but the curse coin flip says]

You prefer me to Hoshino? Seriously? Seriously?

[MINEO]

[dotcom]

Oh. She's definitely cuter.

[ there is no hesitation and in all honesty that wasn't the curse it was just takeru ]

[sengokus]

She is! I know! She's soooooo cute! I don't think I even feel as strongly about her as you do but she's so cute!!

[please stop now]

Ah... That's really shocking.... Sorry, we can talk seriously about it soon, I'm just astonished... I wouldn't even choose me over her....

[mineo wouldn't choose himself over anyone? he's his own biggest anti?]

[dotcom]

[ oh, this is actually pretty funny? mineo is the same in every route. ]

We don't have to talk about it. I don't really want to? I just liked her, but things weren't going to work out. I don't think she... really understood some things.

[ ichika your wrong dialogue options ]

But it was a nice dream.

[ he thinks he still has feelings for her, honestly, but. it's very strange to think about because takeru is very, very good at forcibly not thinking about things. ]

[sengokus]

[mineo is absolutely the same in every route. he's so weak to cute girls. it's bad. but he listens to takeru more seriously then and - pulls him a little closer?

not necessarily out of jealousy, but more out of a sense of just wanting to be close to him. he wonders if he should feel jealous about this, when - well, takeru's further along in the timeline. they were partners and working together. he supposes it's not a surprise that even takeru would end up developing feelings for someone as cute as ichika. she was sweet to mineo the entire time they knew each other too...

. . . . so he's just quiet for a bit as he lets his head rest on takeru's shoulder, before he shifts and presses his lips against takeru's jaw]

When we go home, I hope you can work things out however makes you happiest.

[he doesn't need a curse for that much honesty.]

[dotcom]

I told you, I want you. Stupid.

[ it...

it feels kind of shitty, to even attempt to pursue something with ichika after what he did, even ignoring mineo's role in this whole situation. he doesn't really have any right to chase after a future that he so readily threw away.

he turns so that he can kiss mineo properly instead. ]

I'll figure out the rest.
