[greatestcool]

I'm really glad that you do! I definitely want to be someone you can trust with anything!

...But I really do get why you'd be hesitant about it. We don't have anything like that where I'm from, so I can really only try to imagine what it's like.

[And he's not doing a very good job.]

Is it weird to say that I think it's pretty cool?

[preybeforemeals]

...Yes, but it's not a bad sort of weird?

[...HE TRIED.]

[greatestcool]

I'll take good weird over bad weird any day!

[ryuunosuke]

And I'm really glad you think that, because I really do think it's cool. You're greatest cool, Tsukiyama!

[THAT IS NOT HOW YOU ENGLISH AT ALL]

[preybeforemeals]

[...you know he probably should say something

but he'd feel sort of bad disillusioning you]

Well...I'd imagine I must be, given that you want to date and all.

[greatestcool]

[you could stop this, tsukiyama

you have the power to end this abomination]

Of course! There's no one else who could ever be as cool as you are!

[Between the sparkles and the warmth he clearly believes that.]

[preybeforemeals]

...I don't usually date, you know.

[He isn't sure what makes him say it, but there it is before he can really stop it.]

It's not that I'm disinterested, this just...isn't really something I've had much luck with, I suppose?

[greatestcool]

Well, I've never dated someone I have any feelings for. But I want to try and figure it out!

[He settles a bit and the sparkles fade, though it's still warm.]

I don't think you have to be worried about it, but I'm not going to push. If you don't want to date, then that's okay.

[...he's not entirely sure why, but he's trying??]

[preybeforemeals]

I never said I don't want to.

[And that's almost immediate.]

It's like I said to you back then; I don't...know for sure, but it's possible that I love you. Why wouldn't I want to?

[greatestcool]

[He's going to be glowing forever, alright. The flower petals have started up again too and he can't really make eye contact right now.]

I'm so, so glad to hear that, Tsukiyama. I don't really know if I can put it into words, but... I don't think I've ever been this happy.

[The over-the-top excitement is gone (for now?) but he really does mean it.]

I've never felt this way about anyone. I think it's possible that I love you too, so... so I'd really, really like to try this!

[preybeforemeals]

[There are things that could be said to that, questions he sort of wants to ask, but now isn't the time.]

...I'd like that, then.

[greatestcool]

Good, great! I'll be the best boyfriend ever, just you wait!

[There are the sparkles again!]

I'm still going to invite myself over at weird hours but now we can call them dates!

[And apparently this idea is very exciting!!]

[preybeforemeals]

We're technically on one now, aren't we?

[RYUUNOSUKE, PLEASE...]

[greatestcool]

Ah, yeah, we are! Our first one!

[SPARKLES INTENSIFY oh god it's like a little shower of them]

I won't forget a single minute of this, Tsukiyama!

[preybeforemeals]

I'm glad to hear it, Uryuu-san.

[Why are you so cute.]

[greatestcool]

[He's just naturally this adorable!!]

Hey, now that we're dating, you can call me Ryuunosuke, right? It'd be weird if you kept calling me "Uryuu-san"!

[preybeforemeals]

...Ah...

[What does he do with this.]

You would really find it that weird?

[TSUKIYAMA, NO.]

[greatestcool]

Well, yeah? It's overly formal and we're dating now!

[...]

So does that mean I'm still calling you Tsukiyama...?

[THINGS HE DIDN'T THINK ABOUT]

[preybeforemeals]

...I would prefer that, yes.

[He's...kind of like that...]

[greatestcool]

Oh, alright. But I really would like it if you'd call me Ryuunosuke!

[...]

But I guess if that's going to be too weird for you, it's alright.

[preybeforemeals]

No...no, it's all right. No promises, but...I'll work on it.

[And from the sound of it, he will.]

[greatestcool]

Ahh, really? That's great! I'll be looking forward to it!

[SPARKLES... He really is excited about that, he's sure his name is going to sound great when you finally do manage to say it!!]

...And thanks, Tsukiyama. For everything. You're the best.

[preybeforemeals]

You don't have to thank me, you know - this is something I want as well.

[...That, and he's pretty sure you don't have to thank someone for dating you?]

[greatestcool]

Not just for dating me! Though I really do appreciate that too.

[AIADA'S GETTING LOVEBOMBED SO HARD]

I really do mean it. For everything. I wouldn't have been able to feel anything like this when I showed up here! You've really helped me out. I don't feel anything like I did back home... which I guess was frustrated, maybe? Low-key frustrated, probably. But I don't feel like that anymore and look at all the stuff I can do with my emotions now! I don't kill flowers anymore and I can even make them! Though they're really tiny, I'm working on that.

I guess I'm just really, really glad I met you. And I'm so happy that we're dating! I don't think it'd be possible for me to be happier!

[preybeforemeals]

...I still don't really know what I did to cause all that, actually. I'm glad that I have! But I don't know exactly how any of that happened.

[HE IS SO CONFUSED BY ALL OF THIS, NOT EVEN GONNA LIE

IT'S A NICE SORT OF CONFUSED

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHAT THE HECK]

[greatestcool]

Well, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure either. You were really nice to me though, and patient with me when I had no idea what I was doing. You also let me be around you a lot and I think I picked up on how to express and experience emotion from you. Well, the really positive stuff you usually give off, at least!

...And then there was the whole... apathy thing. I didn't like a lot of what I felt, but it was genuine and real and it was the first time I'd experienced a lot of that. I don't ever want to go through that again and I definitely don't want you to go through that again... but I did get to experience stuff I hadn't before, so there's that!

I guess you didn't really need to do anything. I just needed you in my life!

[AND APPARENTLY THIS IS THE PERFECT CONCLUSION BECAUSE A GLITTERBOMB GOES OFF.]
