[laserhawk]

Did I fucking stutter.

[placation]

I promise I won't make anything weird. Your secrets are safe with me.

[laserhawk]

I kissed Oda.

hehe we can wait til yr thread gets farther

[placation]

What!?

Explain! Tell me everything! How? Why? What happened?

[laserhawk]

It happened in the labyrinth.

[placation]

In a room that makes you kiss!?

[laserhawk]

You think I need a room for that?

[placation]

No...

But then what sort of room was it that led to you kissing?

[laserhawk]

It was a room of Oda's ideal future.

We were all in it.

[placation]

Ah...

I found myself in that room with him too.

I can see why you'd kiss him for that. It's too incredible, isn't it?

[laserhawk]

Yeah.

He said . . . it was home.

[placation]

Knowing Odasaku, he truly meant that. He really is an earnest person...

I can see why you'd take advantage of that moment.

[laserhawk]

. . . Is that what I did?

[ taking advantage sounds cold. ]

[placation]

[ Eh... reading it back, it doesn't sound great, no... ]

I more meant that you were presented with a perfect opportunity, and you seized it. It seems like the sort of situation where if you hadn't, you might look back on it later wishing you had.

But you did. That's a good thing, Dolph.

And it sounds like it went well for both of you.

[laserhawk]

[ well. he had to. everything here is an opportunity. dolph has missed some by waiting. he no longer waits.

still. taking advantage. now he finds himself unsure of his decision. ]

I think so.

[placation]

So...

What are you guys going to do about it?

[laserhawk]

I'm not going to do anything about it. Why would I?

[placation]

You're not going to kiss him again...?

[laserhawk]

It's not enough, even if I may want to.

He has to want it too.

[placation]

How do you know he doesn't?

[laserhawk]

That's my point. I don't know.

He has to come to that realization.

[placation]

You could always ask him, couldn't you?

[laserhawk]

Yeah, I'm sure that'll go great.

[placation]

You don't have to if you don't want to, of course, but...

Odasaku's ideal future included you. I think it's safe to put a little more faith in him. Right?

[laserhawk]

It's not a lack of faith.

I just want to hear him say it for himself.

[ not because dolph asked. not because dolph has to be the one to chase, to ask, to pursue. and truly, he's not even sure he wants to. he's happy with what they have, what they remain as. ]
