[ holds his heart gently stop he's the best route ]
Yup, one of my friends. Oblivious as hell, and I've never quite been able to work out if it's intentional, or if he really just misses all the doe eyes the ladies give him.
Just the other guys on the ship I was on. Didn't know them well, but they were all okay. ...There were only three girls though, and none of them seemed interested in any of us.
[so the oblivious to hsi own popularity thing doesn't seem like a thing in an otome world where the GIRLS get chased like they deserve, yeah]
[god i shipped them so much and yet tocs het-ified them,
Itsuki shrugs.]
I guess you have more experience than I do with that kind of thing. I only just met them, and the journey's not supposed to be that long. A few weeks, maybe?
[he looks thoughtful]
And we'll all be sent to different nations in the end, so...
[there didn't seem to be much of a point in being buddies with each other]
[ i am ignoring the ever loving god out of tocs going "jusis and millum are like siblings" and then IMMEDIATELY forgetting that in favour of trying to make me believe they're suddenly in love why must you ruin a good thing with your romance agenda tocs i have Opinions. ]
...
You might find people will get under your skin anyway. [ heh. ] I'd say there's some good "getting to know you" action going on here, and we have no idea how long any of this is for.
[ see? ]
But it's about comfort, really. Not like... "I feel obligated to".
[I HATE JUSIS AND MILLIUM SO MUCHHHHH IT'S SO.... AHHHH]
Comfort... Are you saying you're starting to feel comfortable around me?
[it's true that Itsuki has no idea how long he'll be in this place for, and it's also true that he's growing fonder of the people here than he ever has with the others back home. it's almost scary.]
[ i’m gonna take someone at falcom out back and ratshake them LET JUSIS AND MILLIUM BE THE CUTE FOUND-FAMILY SIBLINGS THEY ARE ]
You’re stripping me on my own bed and here you are asking if I’m comfortable around you.
[ … ]
It’s weird, kinda. But the circumstances here at so weird, I wonder if that makes us all lean on each other a bit more. It’s not like we have the familiarity of our own worlds to fall back on or anything.
[THIS IS NORMAL BRO BEHAVIOR????? well it was, until Crow tried to COME ONTO HIM (he didn't come onto him, he was just tipsy). still, the fact that Itsuki isn't nyooming out of the room is a sign that... well, what sign is it...]
So you've been leaning, huh...
[he just wants to tease crow so that he stops talking about `bonds and friendship`]
Well, it's not like I haven't been doing the same. [a lot of v nice people here] I did go on all those speed dates, after all.
no subject
i can’t believe he’s a toxic man. pulling her pigtails? that’s so 90s. (“becks he’s from—“) so 90s. ]
You can be a gentleman and kinda blind to your own situations, trust me, I know a guy just like that. [ me, shaking anytime someone is reancore ]
no subject
he glances at crow]
...Yeah? One of your friends?
no subject

no subject
That sounds like something any guy would be annoyed at. You two must be close.
[it sounds like an affectionate dunk after all]
I don't think I know anyone like that... I mean, they're oblivious, but they're not exactly popular...
no subject
... I guess so. He's... stubborn. Maybe he just has that eyes forward mentality and misses things around him. Y'know, like I said?
[ it is. i, becks, love this dumb rean. ]
Oh? [ this is just gossip hour now. ]

A few roses amongst a bunch of thorns then. Must've been an interesting set up.
no subject
It was pretty interesting, yeah.
[the idea of there being more boy ESPers than ladies... the fact that it was only two girls and then Koharu had just Appeared, weird.]
We weren't as close with each other like you are with your friends though.
no subject
Well. None of them were immediately close. That’s kinda just how things work, right?
[ looks at jusis and machias like bruh ]
no subject
Itsuki shrugs.]

I think everyone has, a bit. Amazing what a shared kidnapping does for personal bonds, I guess.
[ stop he’s known rean for three years. there’s no saving him now. ]
Oh, those were fun. Even if there are a lot of people who didn’t get the concept, or want to play along.
