[ 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. ]
[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.
[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...
[ 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.
[ 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. ]
[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.
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. ]
[ . . . . what an odd thing. maybe no one here managed to get through to takeru, but to think that takeru had feelings for ichika and still, despite the fact that they've mutually agreed that she's much cuter - takeru still wants him?
he leans into the kiss easily enough, but something close to guilt still sits in his stomach. they have so much they need to figure out.]
Okay. I just... I'd get it, if you wanted anyone else, too. Things are complicated for us but -
I really do want you to be happy more than anything else.
he's frowning immediately at that and giving takeru another kiss!!!!]
Don't ask a question like that?! I'd never break up with you if we were dating! If anything this partnership is more like a constant demonstration that you'll always leave me first!
I've never even had a talk when you start dating someone, what makes you think I know anything about how to say when I don't want to be dating someone anymore.... Not that we are...
no subject
but he's going to just move to try to pull takeru's hand away from his mouth]
Who?
no subject
[ takeru fucked the m's....... ]
no subject
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...?
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
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]
no subject
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.

[ 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.

I really like you.
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
.... gonna be honest, no idea how we'd even try to explain this to Yanagi-senpai.
no subject
[ he trails off, frowning.
and then kisses mineo again. ]
no subject
Something wrong?
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
You prefer me to Hoshino? Seriously? Seriously?
[MINEO]
no subject
[ there is no hesitation and in all honesty that wasn't the curse it was just takeru ]
no subject
[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?]
no subject
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.
