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.

[irridescentspider]

[ Hm. Well who really knew then. Makishima certainly wasn't going to ask about it. ]

This place isn't exactly good for traditional relationships.

[nemurerumori]

That's wat I keep saying, but people keep thinking I'm jealous! It's so annoying!

Last time Arakita thought I was jealous over your whole thing after I had JUST EXPLAINED to him why I wasn't. It's like he didn't hear me at all!

[irridescentspider]

LOL.

He thought you were jealous over me?

[ Now that was just ridiculous. ]

[nemurerumori]

Right? They don't understand how we work.

You understand how I feel.

[irridescentspider]

Of course I do!

You're my rival!

[nemurerumori]

I just wanted to spend more time with my rival.

Also, Hebi hadn't proven himself worthy of my rival.

[irridescentspider]

Ah...Kinjou could beat you on the flats.

[ On a climb...mm maybe not, though Kinjou was their ace he had better strengths. ]

[nemurerumori]

The flats mean nothing in our world.

[ Who cares about those? ]

[irridescentspider]

Ha...no I suppose not.

But you did say he shouldn't have to prove anything to you.

[ It was Makishima's affections who had to be won. ]

[nemurerumori]

That was a lie.

I actually told him he needs to work to impress us both.

[irridescentspider]

You're not my mother, Toudou!

[nemurerumori]

It's my place as your rival to make sure they're right for you.

[irridescentspider]

...You're sure you're not jealous?

[nemurerumori]

You know it's not! Don't say things like that!

[irridescentspider]

I have to be sure!

What would it take Toudou? Does someone have to be you?

[nemurerumori]

[ They just have to be you. ]

Have I never told you my type before?
