[Kise feels like pulling his hair out- but then remembers he has to work and needs his hair to look presentable. Goddamit.]
...this kind of thing would be called "friends with benefits" back home, wouldn't it? To think it happened with Midorimacchi of all people... not that he's bad looking or anything. He's just, well, very proper. Poker face. Tsundere. [Pot and kettle.]
Well, I'm not dating so it's not a trouble for me. I was worried about him. I will have to tell the other person about it if I do end up with someone else, huh? This is so complicated to navigate...
Friends with benefits is one of them, yeah. Open relationship is another, I guess.
[ Honestly, a lot of people surprised him with this whole thing too. ]
There’s also people who want to be polyamorous. Like, actively dating more than one person and everyone is aware and stuff. That’s actually where I kind of draw the line myself. I have people who I’ve... been with, but aside from maybe hanging out with them at other times we don’t really date or have a relationship like the kind I want with Souji and I’m okay with that but just gotta make sure Souji is too.
Open relationship huh? I heard a lot of that word too, it seems to apply to this place the most. It sounds like a tabboo back in Japan. "Hey we are in open relationship, it's all good", "So what you're saying you gave him green light to sleep around?" That sort of thing.
[Kise takes another sip of his drink before it gets cold.]
Being bi is not that bad. Just think "wow, I can date ANYONE I want".
I think it's how a lot of people seem to cope since I'm pretty confident a majority of people don't want to cheat on their loved ones, you know? It's for sure taboo in Japan though, I think it kind of is in a lot of places although I'm sure it varies.
[ Japan is pretty conservative, after all. ]
See, I could do that but then I'm stuck on seeing people like you and going "Okay is he hot because I'm attracted to him" or "Is he hot because he's hot."
You have no right being as pretty as you are, I'm just sayin'.
Yeah, that's why I was worried in the first place. [He doesn't want people to come after him... he's not equipped to handle jealous boyfriends/girlfriends. He's sure that 90% of moonblessed here are ten times stronger than him with or without moon influence.
Kise laughs and gives Yosuke a wink,] Perhaps it's both? It's good if it's both~
[He dramatically flicks his own hair] Why thank you, Yosukecchi, I always try my best to stay in top form~ And you're not bad looking yourself!
Should you really be saying it’s both when we’re talking about handling relationships with more than one person?
[ He doesn’t want to rain on Kise’s parade but self-deprecation is too easy for Yosuke to fall back on. Honestly, Yosuke is just proud he can say that without blushing like crazy, although his cheeks do go a bit pink at the praise. ]
Yeah, right, I’m not. But thanks anyway.
[ He knows he’s not bad looking, but he hardly thinks of himself as pretty or handsome. ]
[ He snorted softly, taking a bite of his crepe to give him a moment to think of answer to that. He absently checked his phone for the weather too as he chewed and was relieved to know that it’d stay like this for the rest of the day. ]
Trust me dude, having hair like this is a pain. It doesn’t cooperate.
[ It’s been better now that he stopped dying it so it’s been healing from the chemicals, but still. His blush deepened. ]
Yeah. Confidence... [ That he doesn’t always have. ]

[ Sigh. Big sigh, big mood. ]
Tell me about it, I’m still navigating being bi.

[A little pink on Yosuke's face suits him just well, and it makes Kise grin in return.]
Don't sell yourself so short. I wish my hair was fluffy like that, I'd win all the commercial auditions!
[He's not joking, they spend at least thirty minutes trying to fluff up his hair so it looks all wavy.]
And your smile is pretty! Confidence, confidence!
