[ GASP. Matcha-strawberry. You are forgiven, Miss Tofu Idol. ]
Clearly, c'mon, let's go into the kitchen. I'll get the spoons. And a couple sodas, this needs lots of sugar.
[ He went the fridge to pull out said colas and got some spoons to take to the table, handing one of each to her. At least because it was Iris time he didn't need to worry about any rogue pheromones or his sensitive nose. ]
[ His turn to go into the ice cream now. He doesn't want to really want to know details because that's for behind closed doors but come on! He needs some deets. ]
Clearly you liked it since you're outright telling people you're into both.
Pfft, yeah I know you did, why is everyone calling it cute?! I mean, the duck I can understand but... [ he shakes his head with and gets another spoonful. ] Whatever. Anyway, uh... so, I kinda came out to Kanji and Souji last month?
But it took awhile to even realize it and I'm still like... figuring it out so that's why I didn't tell everyone. [ How did he even start talking about when he figured it out? He poked the ice cream a little with the spoon, thoughtful. ] I just... I was in denial for awhile, I guess.
Ren, I guess? But I think I was aware of it in the back of my mind for awhile before that. I was noticing way more good looking guys than I had any right to, so off into denial I went.
[ He mimicked her, placing his chin in his palm. ]
Then there was a weird side effect to this wine I was forced to drink back in July. You weren't there for it and it was actually kinda scary but like... instead of having my usual fox stuff during the Triple Moon phase, I had really weird glowing skin and yellow eyes and nine tails like a kitsune. I also just sorta stopped being all anxious and worried about what other people thing, like it gave me some weird confidence boost.
Woah, that's wild. [ She goes giggle a little bit, though. ] I'm sorry it was scary but it also sounds pretty cool? I wish I could have seen you like that, without a worry.
Yeah, it was. Nothing like being kidnapped and made to drink the kool-aid for a sacrifice to realize we are really not in Kansas anymore. [ Itβs said wryly but it really had been scary. He didnβt quite get nightmares from it but he had definitely been more wary of the Prismals after that. ] But I guess some good came from the bad. So, I donβt want to think too much on it.
Heh, Kanji said the same thing. Heβs a good guy.
[ He's joking, but she still gets the feeling he was upset by the whole thing. Understandably so, if it was forced on him. Her face grows more serious. ]
I have that impression too. He's a flirt, but he means well.
Yeah. He does. So, yeah, thats my story and I technically only told Souji, Kanji, and Ren. Now you, although anyone who reads that post will too but [ shrug and then he pointed at her with his spoon, mouth widening to a grin. ] now itβs your turn, missy.
[ She beams, smiling around a mouthful of ice cream. ]
Okay, okay. Well, Minako-senpai just... started getting really flirty with me, and I guess I reacted a lot and she liked that... It was embarrassing! I've never had a girl treat me like that before! And I liked it...
And then we ran into each other during Cordis, and...
So, what are ya gonna do now? Iβm still trying to figure out how to work with this new... thing, I guess? But like, Iβd always liked girls primarily so I think thatβs still my preference over all. Just, yβknow [ he shrugged and waved his spoon a little in some vague gesture of confusion, sticking it back into the ice cream shortly after for a bite. ] got more options now.
Go with the flow, I guess? I'm still sorta learning how to deal with it, too. I look at girls and think to myself "ok is she cute or is she cute" you know? I'm starting to notice more when girls are flirting with me, too... Minako-senpai started a trend or something.
I know! There have been a couple times where Iβm like βthat guy has no right being that pretty?β and then Iβm like, waitaminute... is this like, noticing a guy is pretty or like, Iβm attracted to him heβs pretty?
And have you seen Ren without his glasses? He falls in that first category.
It's not that it's a big difference, it's more like... the glasses feel like he's hiding a part of himself. So when he took them off, it just seemed... I dunno, like I was finally seeing his true self.
[ and his true self happened to be pretty damn fine and it wasn't fair. ]
Guess it had a lot more impact on me than I realized. I'm glad it wasn't just the moons either.

Soooooo. Who didja kiss?
no subject
[ There's a blush on her cheeks as she follows him to the kitchen, but it's both triumphant as well as embarrassed. ]
Weeeeeellllllll it wasn't just kissing...

I'd be surprised if you haven't seen her flirting with me.
[ Eats spoonful. ]
Buuuuuuut, if you want to hear more you gotta tell me about this boy thing with you first. Yeah, I saw your post.

Yeah, I mean, clearly it's a denial club. What made you start realizing the denial, though? Or who?

Which apparently led to me making out with Ren.

[ You can guess. ]

[ he couldnβt help but laugh at that thought. was it a leader thing? a wildcard thing? ]
Thatβs all he ever did since I got here. Tease and flirt and then... yeah.
[ granted, sex happened after heβd already come out, but still. ]

[ Their own Souji was a bit more subdued back home... but now that they're all here? He's as bad as either of the other two. ]

And have you seen Ren without his glasses? He falls in that first category.
no subject
That's exactly it! Is it like, I'm just impressed, or do I wanna be like her, or do I wanna date her??? It's so confusing!
[ Sigh. ]
Is he? I've seen him During Cordis, but not his normal self without glasses. Is it that big a difference?
no subject
[ and his true self happened to be pretty damn fine and it wasn't fair. ]

[ He's so cute just normally. ]
Me too. Definitely better that it wasn't just the moons.
no subject
[ Not like he really needs them, but that's not his story to tell. ]
So, what're you gonna do now? Kanji asked me that once and I still don't really know the answer.
no subject
[ She sighs and puts her chin in both hands. ]
I don't know either. See what comes, I guess? Kind of intimidating that I now have twice the number of people who, you know...
