I might come over some other day then, and I've known you longer than Mochi. [That's not an answer, Minato.]

And yeah, we cleared up a few things just a while ago. Yu-san wanted to know if he was bothering me, and I told him that he wasn't.

[zerotohiro]

[It isn't an answer, but he can let it go for now.] Sure, just give me a heads up when you do.

So...you guys are okay now? [How to tactfully say "Yu told me everything and I was worried"...] I know prom was a pretty big THING for a lot of people. And you still like him don't you?

[moribound]

Yeah, we're okay and I still like him.

[Oops, he might have given the wrong impression but he's already sent that text.]

By liking him, do you mean as friends? It sounds like he had a lot to say about me.

[zerotohiro]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[He debates leaving it at that, but even that's a little too mean for him.]

Should it mean something else besides just as friends?

[moribound]

Not unless you want it to be, I guess. That's the second time Yu-san's hit on me though, which is kind of funny considering what I did at my own world.

[zerotohiro]

I'm not even sure I should be having a say in this since I'm not really into the idea of dating either of you. Don't get me wrong, you're both great, but no.

...what's THAT supposed to mean?

[moribound]

Eh? That's not what I meant at all, what did you think it meant? [But of course Minato's not about to clarify what he actually means, which is that Hiro can think whatever he wants about their current status (Read: It's complicated).]

As for that, nothing much. It was usually girls who hit on me. [Not that he was entirely passive about saying he likes someone, it's just that it was always the girl who'd ask him out first.]

[zerotohiro]

Why does it matter what I think it meant, I just wanted to make sure you two were fine and I'm not judging if you two decide to do...THAT. [Dating, Hiro. The word is dating. You're doing it, too.]

...are you kidding me. [He knows Minato. He likes Minato, but imagining girls hitting on Minato is like imagining the sun orbiting the planet instead of what he knows to be true.] Why???

[moribound]

Whatever you say, Hamada-kun. I don't really know why either, it just kind of happens. [Granted that Minato does talk to some of the girls a few times before they become friends...]

[zerotohiro]

This apparently "kind of happens" to both of you. Remind me not to get older if I'm going to ever have to deal with stuff like that, it's hard enough keeping up with just one girl.

[moribound]

Just tell them that you like someone else. It's really not that bad, promise.

[zerotohiro]

I don't know if you're aware of this? But girls are kind of terrifying. I have been dealing with teenage girls since I was 9, they do not take things lightly!!! (Which is kinda what I like most about Ruby, she's not crazy.)

At least with Yu you know how to read him better.

[moribound]

[Well if Hiro thinks that's bad, at least he's not dealing with girls that have superpowers to boot.]I'm more than aware of that. And Yu-san's a little different, he's both easy and not so easy to read.

[zerotohiro]

[Minato please, Hiro's dating a girl with superspeed and a fuck-off scythe. And Yang.] Well so're you so I guess you two are a good match after all. Just go easy on him, okay? He's a good guy.

[And someone Hiro's grown a little more than protective of.]

[moribound]

[Ah...the question isn't whether Minato will treat Yu well, but whether they can make the best of whatever their relationship is.

And since there's nothing else to add he'll end the conversation there, never having been much for texting.]

I will. See you later.
