Oh, yeah. We both have so much shit to work through.
[MINEO'S BEEN SAYING THAT FOR WEEKS AND THEN TAKERU SAID YES TO EXACTLY THE WRONG QUESTION.]
... but do you remember what I told you last time we were at the beach?
[until we can promise that nothing will ever matter as much as each other, because that's the type of love I believe in, and I don't want to give or receive anything less.]
I think we're getting closer, even if we did take some steps back.
... tomorrow, if everything works out, then you'll get your wish, and I'll get mine - so you won't be rid of me. We'll get to work and figure out X-Day, and then... even if we're not technically partners anymore, we'll still have each other.
We can figure out what that means from there, can't we? Wherever that leads.
[dating? marriage? america?
even mineo's not sure at this point but - the most important thing is that they'll finally have time to figure it all out.]
[ he can point out that there is still a high chance that he will choose to run away in the end, if he decides that he doesn't want to deal with it all.
his downfall here is still just that there are only so many places you can hide on this base, and he knows that mineo would literally search every inch of it until he found takeru and. well, at least earth has a lot more hiding spots than here, right?
but it feels a little cruel to think about running away while he's with mineo like this. and especially since he's not entirely sure what the status of their actual relationship is at the moment. ]
Right.
... you're free to do whatever you want tonight though, so.
[and there are people that he wants to say something to, before they all go separate ways because they don't know about cross-world travel yet. he knows that he'll have to leave takeru eventually - even if he'll probably ultimately come back to this room to sleep.
and he knows there are probably other people who will want to see takeru too, but.]
.... do you want me to leave? [if he wants time by himself] Still no lies, if you can.

[ he said no lies.
but he'll actually press himself more against mineo, closing his eyes. ]
You should take care of what you need to, with everyone else.

he's just going to sigh then, wrapping both of his arms around takeru and keeping him close as he buries his face in his hair.]
.... in a bit.
I'm a little busy right now. I feel like I'm this close to catching someone I've been chasing after for a while now.
[or losing him entirely the second that mineo looks away.
he's learned exactly what he's willing to risk, and what he isn't.]

[ his tone is casual, but also tired. ]
I hope you manage to get what you want.
no subject
[he won't deny that takeru is annoying but he'll just shift then so he can rest their foreheads together, so takeru has to look him in the eyes]
... but I'm just waiting on some outside answers. [which are currently being held at gunpoint by a harajuku girl in a bunny hoodie] And you.
I'm optimistic, though. And stubborn.
