[it's fine don't worry about it]

... Thanks. Though [wince] Harrow's banned us from talking for a week, so I guess something happened...

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . ]

Are you just really scared of her...? I'm sure she has her reasons. [such. obvious reasons.]

But... you know, just wondering.

[enfangs]

... Well, Molly said she's like family. Don't want him feeling like he has to pick between us or anything.

[but also yeah white's been conditioned to have a healthy fear of stern ladies,]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . damn this was a mistake and mineo is realizing that quickly]

You're really considerate, White.

Just remember to ask for a little bit more for yourself sometimes, yeah? I mean - maybe not now but...

.... on things that you can ask for. You deserve to be treasured that much by your partner too.

[but mineo will do them both a favor and absolutely look away after that]

[enfangs]

[there is

something very despairing about being told this by mineo, of all people, but he'll ignore that.]

... Sure. I'll keep that in mind.

[but underneath all the attitude and bravado, the reality is that he's learned since long ago to settle for what scraps he's given; sometimes, daring to ask for more isn't an option.]

[sengokus]

[listen he can't say his full opinion because white is fucking CURSED but he's still just going to throw an arm around his shoulders]

Good...!!

Then as long as you're happy, I don't have to get too mad yet.

[come monday he will be so pissed but that anger won't go anywhere right now,]

[enfangs]

[he turns a little red, before he glances away.]

"Yet"? What would you even be getting mad over in the first place? Geez...

[sengokus]

[









"because I have to kick the ass of whoever gave you this temporary happiness you might end up missing on Monday, so even while I'm grateful I hate them for messing with your feelings"

nope!

can't say that]

..... tell you later! It's 'cause I care about you, though.

[enfangs]

... You're acting weird.

[out of all the things white wants to say but can't because of the effect, that's as nice as he can get.]

[sengokus]

[hmmmmmm]

.... there are some things I don't think I should say for a little while....

But uh, I'm doing my best?

[enfangs]

[he squints, but]

... Well, whatever.

[white is used to not being told things, so he'll let it go.]

I can believe that, at least.

[sengokus]

Yeah! I'll always do my best for you.

[he is just somehow even more forthcoming during nice week but - he also doesn't seem to really notice because he'd say it anyway? it's just a little More]

[enfangs]

[PLEASE THIS IS FLUSTERING WHITE]

... All right, you can stop now.

[sengokus]

What am I stopping.

[enfangs]

[ugh]

Th... That!

[sengokus]

[blinks in confusion]

Being... me?

[enfangs]

[presses a hand against his head]

... Forget it.

[sengokus]

[??????]

Okay....

Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

[white's all boo'd up now]

[enfangs]

It's not that. [he struggles because this is so hard! with the effect!] Trust me, everything else you bring outweighs any discomfort.

[—okay that was saying too much, damn it

(stuff like this is probably why molly delighted in mineo's snake bites)]

[sengokus]

[imagine if we're all alive for trial my god]

Yeah...? That's good then - it's important to me that you're comfortable with me.

[and he'll pat white's shoulder before pulling his arm back]

[enfangs]

[stop]

... Well, I doubt most people here wouldn't be. You're a popular guy, after all.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . ]

I've heard that a few times now...

Feels really weird...

[enfangs]

Why? You're friendly, good-looking, and I guess you're occasionally competent. Also, one of the few people here who's probably not secretly a psycho.

[believe it or not this isn't white being gay, he generally has no issue with admitting if another guy is attractive.]

[sengokus]

[he opens his mouth at that

closes it

he's flustering so bad that he's just going to cover his face and look away even though the tips of his ears are red

critical hit, babey!]

[enfangs]

[MINEO...]

... You okay there?

[white didn't even think that was a lot????]
