....Exactly how do you want me to take it seriously, then...? I've let you know I'm not really bothered.

...Or is it that it bothers you to know that was my assumption? In which case, aren't you the one who needs to sort out how you feel?

I'm bothered that you aren't bothered, and I want you to make clear what you want! Even if it was an assumption, do you still seriously want to "date"?

[Leaning forward, placing his hand flat on Kazuki's chest.]

Why does it bother you? I love you, but I can't sort out what you want for you. Even if I say "yes" you still need to figure out what you want.

I--

[ You said A Word. And you're probably enjoying every bit of this role reversal. ]

[I am. Not the least bit sorry or repentant about enjoying this.]

So, I'm taking it seriously.

[Like you wanted.]

I couldn't even begin to sort it out on my own until you made yourself clear!

[ RED AND BACKING UP A LITTLE ]

You didn't have any complaints about what we had arranged, right!?

What if I do now?

Then voice them!

I do't want to share your affection. With anyone.

... what's with those words like you're a jealous lover...

Is it wrong to be jealous?

There's not even anything to be jealous of, for one! For two, are you that insecure about me outright neglecting you for someone else?

Ah, it's hypothetical. If there were something, I would be jealous. And I don't think that's wrong.

But to answer your question, I'll ask; if you're just going to insult me, after asking so sincerely that I tell you seriously, then what did you ask for in the first place?

I was being serious too! How am I supposed to know it was hypothetical? I just asked because... because it's not wrong to want to know if someone you're involved with is unhappy!

Eh... Then what I'd really like to know is what you want.

Obviously I want you to be happy.

Eh...

[A moment of feelings...]

...Idiot. I'm not going to be happy if you don't consider yourself a bit.

I always consider myself. I'm not so amazingly pure and selfless that I don't, or do I look like a princess to you?

Do you want me to answer that?

You're no knight on a white horse either, so if you do say that you're just setting yourself up for failure!

I've never been the knight type to start with, so that's fine.

But I think I've made my feelings clear, unless you want me to spell it out.

Spell it out.

Eh... How dense.

[Smiling cheerfully though, and reaching out to take Kazuki's hand, holding it between them.]

I want to be by your side. I don't want you to look at anyone but me. I love you. I want to be the person that makes you happy, and teases you until you blush, and I want you to be by my side as well. But I don't want you to return my feelings out of obligation. So think it over.

I trust you.

And I want you to trust me, too.

Mikado...

[ CRITICAL HIT. It's super effective! ]
