Anything! Anything that happened, anything that you're doing, anything you're thinking. It doesn't matter what.

We could do something else if you wanted. We could go out and do something fun.

[irridescentspider]

[ Makishima wants to say that'd be a bother but it's what Toudou does all the time anyway. ]

I'll try it.

What do you want to do? You know what most "fun" things are here.

[nemurerumori]

I spend a lot of time indoors.

I can look around and see where we can go.

I'll do that tomorrow.

[irridescentspider]

I'd like that.

A distraction would be nice.

[nemurerumori]

A distraction from what?

[irridescentspider]

ah...I mean it's been quiet. Kinjou hasn't really spoken to me since Tadokorocchi arrived.

[nemurerumori]

Oh the big guy came? That's good for you.

I spoke to him not too long ago. He said he was going to shape up, but I guess he hasn't yet.

[irridescentspider]

What do you mean shape up???

[nemurerumori]

I had a talk with him by the sakura trees.

Don't worry, I didn't hold back on him.

[irridescentspider]

And what's that supposed to mean?

[Was that a spark of jealous in Makishima's heart? Why yes it was though he knew he shouldn't have felt it, but he'd been under those sakura trees with Kinjou and he'd felt their effects. He'd shared in those effects with Kinjou and Mukuro so he knew just what being under them could do to a person. He wanted to believe Toudou wouldn't have sex with Kinjou, not knowing what he did about Makishima's feelings, but that spark of jealousy wasn't exactly rational. Kinjou wasn't even his to be jealous over. ]

[nemurerumori]

What else would I mean? I told him off for being a coward and a quitter. I don't think he wanted to have the conversation, but I didn't care, hahahaha.

I also told him I don't approve of him, but also that he shouldn't be fighting for my approval in the first place.

[irridescentspider]

It doesn't matter.

[ He was foolish to think Toudou would have had sex with Kinjou. He didn't really hold Kinjou in high regard and Maki should have trusted Toudou more. ]

You really didn't have to do all that.

[nemurerumori]

You were thinking I meant something else, didn't you?

"Did Toudou have sex with the guy he knows I like?"

Was that it?

[irridescentspider]

Don't put words in my mouth.

[ Yes. ]

[nemurerumori]

You don't have to worry about things like that.

I'm not having sex you two or Arakita anymore.

[irridescentspider]

[ Well that was unexpected. ]

You're not?

Why Arakita?

[ And would Toudou really be all right without the other cyclist there to help him out? He wasn't the easiest to get along with though he had said he'd made friends. ]

[nemurerumori]

You like Hebi, Hebi likes you, Arakita likes Couch-san.

I'm not getting in the middle of all of that, even casually.

[irridescentspider]

Who is Couch-san?

...ARAKITA LIKES SOMEONE?!

[nemurerumori]

It's the guy who's always over at his apartment. He plays volleyball. I don't know what he looks like since I've never met him.

He came over to my apartment depressed over a picture he sent him and realized he had feelings for him. It happened a day or do after my last conversation with you.

He's not depressed anymore, so I guess they resolved it.

[irridescentspider]

[ What the heck was going on? Were all the cyclist catching feelings except for Toudou? It was going to turn into a regular soap opera at this rate.]

I didn't think he could like someone...

[ He did seem rather prickly. ]

[nemurerumori]

I didn't think so either! He's never nice to anyone at home! Couch-san ended up being different and I hate it.

I don't like him, but it goes without saying.

[irridescentspider]

...

You like Arakita?

[ Was that jealousy or something else that made Toudou dislike this "couch-san". ]

[nemurerumori]

No?? What are you saying?

He sent Arakita a selfie of himself in bed with two other guys? WHAT IS THERE TO LIKE?

[irridescentspider]

...oh...

was it how you make it sound or something else?

[nemurerumori]

Who can tell from a selfie? I also didn't want to see it.

I texted Couch-san sometime afterward to get them patched up, but I didn't ask further about the picture.
