[hurricanechef]

Hey. I know how to treat my friends to what they like, even if it's not what I prefer.

[ he huffs a little, poking Takuto's cheeks. </small.]

[universalboy]

That just means you're not selfish. I get the feeling you can't be, having to wrangle your squad.

[hurricanechef]

I don't really need anything, so I wouldn't really call it a lack of being selfish.

[universalboy]

You have it all, huh... good looks, good friends...

[hurricanechef]

I do admit, the friends I have back home and the ones I've made here are very precious to me, but I'm still not so sure about that attractive thing.

[ He playfully poked his cheek again. Takuto was included in that list of precious friends. ]

[universalboy]

[ He puffed his cheek out in the spot he was poked. ]

Do you just not... look in mirrors, or...

[ A beat. ]

Are you a vampire and can't see yourself?

[hurricanechef]

last time I checked I wasn't a vampire.

[universalboy]

I'll find out if you bite me, I guess.

[ Squints up at him with suspicion. ]

[hurricanechef]

Good thing I'm not about to bite you then.

[universalboy]

[ He reaches up and puts his hand on Atsushi's cheek. ]

Yeah, you're WAY too warm to be undead.

[hurricanechef]

Plus I do go out in the sunlight often.

[universalboy]

No way.

[ Takuto takes his hand and puts it in his hair again. A wordless command. ]

[hurricanechef]

[ Atsushi gave him a tilted head look before realizing what he wanted and started to comb his fingers through his hair again. ]

is that hard to believe?

[universalboy]

[ If Takuto was a cat or some other furry animal, he would melt and turn into an puddle. Instead, he closes his eyes. ]

I heard you're an otaku.

[hurricanechef]

Who told you that?!

[universalboy]

En said you like anime and stuff...

[ Long pause. ]

Y'know, for someone who reads a lot of romance and stuff, you don't really see or notice like. Romance around you much. Do you?

[hurricanechef]

Ah... I guess not.

[universalboy]

Eh? Really? I thought people who read or liked that stuff were... y'know, always in a daydreamy haze. Wako would look at Sugata and I with that... haze... sometimes.

[hurricanechef]

I guess I'm a little oblivious if I'm involved in it. I dunno...

[universalboy]

You sure you and En aren't...?

[hurricanechef]

I don't know, I never really thought about it?

[universalboy]

Hmm... well, it's not my business. But that time with you under the stars was pretty romantic. That's why I was... being weird. Sorry.

[hurricanechef]

You don't need to apologize, Takuto. I was happy that you showed me. I feel bad that I made things uncomfortable for you, but I was really happy you came. I think I might have been a bit sad if I was there alone.

[universalboy]

Hmm. I think I'll do something like that for a special person in the future. It was nice.

[hurricanechef]

Wasn't it? I'm sure Kinshirou would be absolutely jealous...
