Of course not. We're just friends.

Friends don't ... touch each other like that. [ Do they??? He only started making friends this year, so he has no idea. ]

You're seriously going to say that about him and call it platonic?!

[ AND THE KISSING IS TOO MUCH HE'S NOT THINKING ABOUT IT ]

_{[ in reality, Akira is just searching for validation since he did some sexual kind of things with Denji. That was just for fun, right? They’re just pals. He doesn’t see Denji that way.

That homo way. ]}

Yeah, sure. I don’t feel fruity about him. It was just for fun.. also helped out the festival.

[ fellas is it gay to do gay sex with your homie ]

Did he want you to touch him?

[ gotta confirm this first, because there will be Words if that's not the case. ]

_{[ Uh Oh. ]}

Well.. our mouths were busy so.. I guess he didn’t actually ask?

_{[ goddammit akira ]}

He was laughing and seemed to enjoy it after the fact??

... If he was laughing, then it's probably fine.

[ so now he knows they were just messing around. which is fine? the two of them are allowed to do what they want, and it was part of the festival, too. as long as his friends are happy. he's trying not to have an opinion on anything. ]

You should ask before you do anything like that again, though.

Yeah, uh, okay, got it.

_{[ The beginning steps to learning consent?? This isn’t how he thought this conversation would go… ]}

… did I do something wrong?

[ teaching the 70s kids about 2010s sensibilities ]

Well ... Have you considered how he would feel if it was something he wasn't ready for?

I guess.. not really? I was just trying to show him a good kisser and have a good time.

.. Did I cross a line?

_{[ Like.. he knows he crossed a line with Denji, but they were both horny and out of it. ]}

I don't know what happened, so I can't say. That depends on how he feels about it.

If he was enjoying it, though, it should be fine.

You should just slow down a bit.

Alright.
Um..

You’re not mad at me for some reason, right? I don’t think I’d like it if someone else was mad at me.

Why would I be mad at you?

I don’t know. You and Yuyu-kun are close. I didn’t want to do something that might have upset you.

I have a record of doing that lately.

You're not a bad person. Even when I don't agree with your actions, I can see that.

What happened?

I don’t know. I opened my mouth and said some things and now I don’t know where I stand with people.

Are you at home?

I'm at home.

It's probably better to discuss this in person.

[ he is here reading a book! ]

_{[ So now, he's just going to mope his ass out into the commons area where he finds Megumi seated on.. a couch of some sort, and crawl his sorry ass up on there. Instantly, his head drops to Megumi's shoulder and he makes the BIGGEST, MOST TIRED sigh. ]}

I think I have trouble making friends, Megumi-kun.

[ He's a little startled at the sudden contact, but allows it. Akira reminds him of a large sad dog at times, bumping their head against you for attention and reassurance. ]

I find that hard to believe. You talk so much.

[ Extroverted people make friends easily. ]

What happened?

Heh. Talking too much is what put me in this situation.

_{[ His head lifts and he looks at Megumi, regarding him. ]}

I outed Denji-kun’s crush out to her without thinking and he got rejected without warning, so now he’s mad at me. I think the girl he likes is mad at me too.

[ While Megumi is always happy to lend a listening ear, there's this sense of ... him becoming more tired, as he listens to this. This is the sort of drama he has no experience with. Even before becoming a sorcerer, Megumi was always deficit in the 'friends' department, and it never bothered him. He never had to deal with anything like this and he's grateful for that. It sounds like stress that is caused for no reason at all. ]

Oh ... [ Yeah, he's not equipped for this situation. He thinks this drama is stupid and is trying not to let that show, because Akira looks clearly affected by it. ]

How much do you care about what they think about you?

A lot.

_{[ He really is just a big baby, huh? After all, beneath all of Amon’s influence, that’s what he is: a timid and shy person who has always cared about how people perceive him.

Should he tell Megumi what happened between him and Denji before all of this happened? ]}

I really appreciate Denji-kun’s friendship.. I don’t think I’ve ever had a guy friend I could talk to about all sorts of shit.

And Aurora.. I only just met her but I wish I would have made a better impression on her since she’s so sweet.

[ Wow, Megumi is a 'guy friend'? But he knows he's not approachable in many ways, so he understands if there are things Akira doesn't want to talk to him about.

Since Akira does care about those relationships, then Megumi will give him advice on how to save them. If he didn't care that much, he would just advise he let things go. He's never been an advocate for trying to get along with everyone. Sometimes you just can't. ]

They are angry right now, so give them time to cool down. After that, the only thing you can do is explain yourself and apologise to Denji-san.

I don't understand why Aurora-san is angry at you too, though.

_{[ the biggest and most dramatic sigh and Akira shifts, settling his head in Megumi’s lap whether he wants it or not. His eyes warily look up at the other teenager. ]}

Yeah. I hate saying I’m wrong, but I know it’s the right thing to do so I will.

She’s probably upset cause I stopped talking to her suddenly. I don’t know. I don’t understand girls, no matter how hot they are.

[ The sudden head plopped on his lap does take him by surprise, but beyond tensing up briefly, Megumi sighs and allows it. If he were doing this just for fun or to tease Megumi, he would push him off. He needs some actual reassurance right now, so Megumi decides to give it to him. ]

I don't think women are very different from men. [ Not the women he is used to, at least. ]

Why did you stop talking to her?

_{[ meg lap comfy ]}

Because.. she was flirting with me, whether she was intending to or not.. and Denji-kun said she was off limits, so I was just honoring his request.

I guess just stopping talking to her was a little drastic, huh?

I can see why knowingly flirting with the girl your friend likes is a bad thing to do.

[ But as Akira guessed, he does find it rather drastic to start avoiding that girl altogether. ]

Denji-san really said she was off-limits? [ That sounds a bit controlling of him? But Megumi ... uh ... doesn't care about this teen drama enough to form any heated opinion on who's in the right and wrong. ]
