Are you really feeling it, or just convincing yourself you do?

[cooopout]

How do you tell the difference?

[regretnooothing]

You have to figure it out.

[cooopout]

I want you. [softly, the same searching look in his eyes] But even more than that, I want you to want me.

But it's also okay if you don't. ...I think that's love, still.

[regretnooothing]

[Flushes. Even like this he can't help being embarrassed.]

It sounds like it. I guess you're okay then... for now.

[cooopout]

[just nods. embarrassment is less of an issue now! :D]

...and you?

[regretnooothing]

I feel flustered over you saying that, so I guess I'm the same.

[cooopout]

A-ah. [ducks his head a little] Sorry. Um.

...do you still want to sleep in the same bed?

[regretnooothing]

That's still fine. I'm still willing to do that.

[cooopout]

Okay. It's getting late, we should ask Ankh.

[regretnooothing]

Okay. Let's go.

[cooopout]

[nods and heads back to their cabin and finds ankh]

...I heard Eiji-kun told you what's happening to me. [RIGHT TO THE POINT NOW]

[nooohandouts]

*WOW. THAT WAS FAST*

Aa. How far along is it?

[regretnooothing]

[just standing in the background. you birds talk.]

[cooopout]

A little. I can still feel things, but... it's distant. [rubs his chest absently, then looks at you again] And I'm warm again now.

...that's actually what I really wanted to talk to you about. Would you mind if I slept in the same bed with you both?

[nooohandouts]

... Why?

[cooopout]

Eiji-kun is freezing. I think it would help with two warm bodies instead of just one. And this way we're close if anything happens. [matter-of-factly]

[nooohandouts]

... Fine.

[regretnooothing]

Then we're all set.

[cooopout]

[nods, looking almost a little shy now that it's settled]

[nooohandouts]

For this month only.

[regretnooothing]

[ooooh, pissy bird. I thought this would have made him happier...]

[cooopout]

[he feels something hot and fierce lance through his chest, his eyes flashing, but he doesn't react to it]

That's fine. I didn't expect anything else.

[nooohandouts]

*The red bird is sensing Shingo's doing this partially because he's a Greeed*

Good.

[regretnooothing]

[Oh. Well okay

you two can keep making this awkward. I will walk past you]
