Is this about the prom? [He would have said it's not a problem, but he wants to know how Yu feels about this.]

Yeah.

[ Apologizing means that you're sorry for telling him and if you actually meant it, why would you be sorry?

... even so. ]

It's true I meant what I said. But I hadn't planned on telling you so soon. ... sorry for falling on you, too.

It's alright. It was my fault that you fell on me, and it can't be helped that you thought of talking about how you felt sooner since you were drunk.

[ How he feels.

He knows how he feels now, doesn't he? It's true Minato isn't the only person he has feelings for. But he knows those feelings are real, now; it isn't just the connection, and it's no longer something he can deny.

Yu knows too that he needs to make a decision. But there's something else he should say first, isn't there? There's a pause on his end as he gets his thoughts together. ]

I won't ask you to tell me how you feel. But I do want to know ... if what I've said bothers you. If it does, I won't bother you again.

[ This is his way of giving Minato an out. He doesn't need Minato to say these feelings are mutual, or even complicated. But if Minato wants him to stop, for good... now's his chance to say so. To be honest, this is more than he was even planning on allowing himself. He was simply going to apologize, and back off. But Hiro managed, one way or another, to convince him that this thing they share might not just be him after all. ]

It doesn't bother me. I was just not ready to hear it so soon, I guess.

[There's almost no pause between Yu's text and his reply- Minato's had a day to think about his feelings too, and what really bothers him isn't that Yu has such feelings...no, it's more that he wonders whether he should even think of getting into a relationship when he's on borrowed time.]

[ Oh. ]

[ And here, he'd genuinely convinced himself that his feelings weren't returned... after Minato ran away twice, and said this was happening quickly...

Then again, he hadn't minded their kiss either. And the circumstances each time had been, well... not exactly ideal for Yu, either.

At the cafe table he's been sitting at, lounging in a chair and ignoring the unsweetened tea in front of him, Yu sits up straighter, staring at his CereVice. ]

That's what I get for experimenting with punch bowls when there was a contest that included trying to spike them around such competitive people.

... we could take it a little slower, if that was what you wanted.

[ He hopes he's reading this right. ]

You really should have known better with the kind of people we get here. I still need time to think about how I feel about all of this, but as I said before that doesn't mean I'm rejecting you.

[It had just happened a little too quickly, and Minato likes Yu enough that he wants to make sure they'll still be friends whatever happens.]

True enough. Funny, considering it seems that no one was going to win Prom Royalty from the very beginning.

Alright. [ His heart's in his throat, but he's actually very relieved with this outcome. He'll end up taking a gulp of his tea without realizing he accidentally salted it, and somehow manage not to care. ] I'll be here.

Athena-san must have been really mad about that, too bad I logged out before I got to see it.

What happened after that, anyway? [At least it's not hot sauce.]

I still owe her ice cream for stepping on her dress, even though she asked me to plan a fight with her. That was more complicated than I bargained for...

Ah, well, the DJ got pretty angry with all of us for failing to live up to his standards. So we were all attacked by flying water balloons.

[ He's still drinking it. ]

Right, Rokudo-san owes me lunch for the fight we staged too. Not sure how convincing it was though, I don't think people usually fight over doughnuts at a prom. [You don't say, Minato!]

Guess you could say the prom started with a bang, but it washed out in the end. I wouldn't expect anything less from CERES by this time.

Maybe that's why no one was awarded Prom Royalty. The DJ was onto us the whole time.

I agree. It was pretty fun, for what it was, mishaps aside. Did you catch sight of Dipper and that girl he likes, Xion? They were pretty cute.

It's said that cheaters never prosper. I saw both of them, yeah. So that's why Dipper-kun brought up her name when he was asking about my symptoms the other day, it seemed a little odd back then, but I didn't think to ask.

Speaking of Rokudo-san, he must be disappointed as well. He seemed pretty convinced there would be a reward.

He mentioned her to me. I don't know if it's mutual, but he seems happy enough. You know, that reminds me, I should text Ruby.

He must have been. I didn't care about the competition since 500 credits is good enough for me- what are you going to text her about, Yu-san?

I feel about the same. Prom Royalty was never something I intended to win, though I didn't mind trying to help my friends. Most of it was pretty fun. Though I did have one girl I didn't know try to pull me aside to go make out with her.

Her and Hiro, of course.

Did you go for it?

Dipper-kun and Xion, Hamada-san and Ruby-san- try breaking the news to her gently. [He's teasing.]

No. After the library fiasco, I think I've had enough of making out with random strangers for one lifetime.

:)

How many did you get in the end? Oh, and remind me to congratulate Hamada-san too.

... don't ask me to remember. I never did keep track. Anyway, sure.

I'm beginning to think I got off easy compared to everyone else. How long have you known about Hamada-san and Ruby-san, anyway?

[Minato honestly hadn't noticed, although to be fair he's only seen them together once and a jungle trip isn't the best of romantic indicators.]

You did get to be a powerful wizard. Hiro I met when I first got here, so it's been a few months. Did you know he punched one of my Personas in the face?

Ruby I met around the time we all first got dumped in the jungle. So I've known her about as long as I've known you, actually.

I do now, must have hurt. That long, huh? I met Hamada-san during the reconstruction project, stuff happened and I was there for the food mostly, and we chatted for a bit after he got Baymax to move.

[Damn straight stuff happened, and over at his end Minato's staring at his CereVice blankly, recalling that they also talked about him running a side-quest business. Would it still work now?]
