why do you like being around him?

1/3

[dvine]

I

2/3

[dvine]

Don't

3/3

[dvine]

Know

[dj_jiraiya]

yes you do

[dvine]

No I don't

[dj_jiraiya]

Yes. You do.

no one hangs around someone just because. its not how it works.

you also said it yourself, theres been tension between you two and it’s obviously not the bad kind or the stuff wouldnt have happened during the moons. or it would have happened sooner if it really was nothing and you guys just needed to burn off steam or something.

so i think you actually do have a crush on your friend and he might actually be crushing right back.

Midorimacchi having a crush on me?
There's a bigger chance I become a pop star millionaire than that

[Yes, he's avoiding the part about himself]

1/2

[dj_jiraiya]

[ Yosuke noticed. ]

You don’t know until you tell him.

2/2

[dj_jiraiya]

[ There’s a pause because Yosuke’s sneaking a glance at Souji. ]

Just like I won’t know until I tell Souji.

And I’m going to.

You don’t need to do it like. Right now. Think about it and stuff but. I think you’re selling yourself short if after all this he doesn’t like you at least a little bit.

[dvine]

I mean, he probably likes me enough to have me around but a crush?

I think that's pushing it. Besides, he'd never admit to it, even if he had a gun pointed at him

[That's a bit of exaggeration but Kise doesn't have better thing to compare it to]

it's the only thing I keep thinking about, don't worry about that
no confessions tho
I can't do it
cuz I don't have a crush on him ofc

[dj_jiraiya]

I’m starting to believe you’re the tsun one, not him.

[dvine]

...

I never thought that word will ever be used in connection to me








You really think I have crush on him?

[dj_jiraiya]

you sounded a lot like i did so yeah, i do think so.

[ Kise might not be doing the full blown “no homo” that Yosuke had been, but a lot of the defensiveness was still there. ]

i was doin it for like. a solid year so the pattern is kinda obvious now that i realized it.

[dvine]

[Oh.

He. Has a crush on Midorima.

It sounds so crazy when he thinks about it. He stares at his device for a long moment and then-]

Can we talk somewhere? I wanna know how you realized it

and I don't think it's for the phone and msgs

[dj_jiraiya]

yeah, no problem. where do you wanna go?

[dvine]

There's a coffee shop that sells donuts and crepes near the park. Can you meet me there? They usually don't have traffic at this time of day

Text —> Action

[dj_jiraiya]

Sounds good, see you in a bit.

[ After letting Souji know where he was running off to (and promising to pick up some groceries on the way back) he set off the coffee shop. Kise was right in that it was a little slow and Yosuke got a cup of coffee and a chocolate crepe while he waited for Kise, nodding his head lightly to his music. ]

[dvine]

[Kise arrives at the shop not much later than Yosuke- neat hair, long, fashionable scarf wrapped properly around his neck and fitting, dark coat that makes him look taller and hair stand out. He gives Yosuke a smile and a wave, but goes to get hot chocolate for himself first and then joins him at the table.]

Hey... Sorry for getting you out like this so suddenly.

[dj_jiraiya]

[ Yosuke shook his head, giving Kise a wave with his fork as he sipped his coffee. ]

Nah, don't worry about it. It's an important subject. I mean, I dunno exactly how much help I'd be but... y'know.

[ He'll try. ]

[dvine]

[Kise just smiles a bit-]

You already helped a lot. I'm just... [insceure, perhaps for the first time in his life. He's silent for a while, taking a few sips, before asking.]

So, how did you realize?

[dj_jiraiya]

[ He also did realize that he may have seemed pushy in the text. What if he really didn't have a crush? But all the signs pointed to it... He sighed and leaned back in the chair. ]

Had a moment with a friend, realizing what it would have been like if I lost him. She... she lost the guy she loved and for some reason, my thoughts went to Souji.

[ His fork went into the crepe to poke at it for a bit. ]

It... It just sorta clicked, I guess? I never really told you this but he and I have been in a lot of life or death situations and I never felt like that before. I mean, I probably did in the moments but... I dunno, having that chance to sit and really think about it while comforting my big sis... [ He shrugged and his lips pursed in a terse smile. ] Kinda puts things into perspective, especially in a place like this when weird and even dangerous shit happens almost on a monthly basis.
