[his mouth twitches into a grin, hand coming to rest on the top of her head so he can ruffle her hair]

I'm glad I can always count on you, little nerd.

[necromomicon]

That's right, big nerd.

[she just butts against his hand.]

So, since we're both hopeless anyway, might as well have fun with it. So, between Pyrrha and our teammates, who's the hottest?

[purrtagonist]

. . .

[opens mouth]

[closes it again]

[why does she ask the hard questions]

I can't answer that.

[necromomicon]

[BECAUSE SHE HAS TO]

It's okay, you can admit it. None of them can hear you here!

[purrtagonist]

No, I seriously can't.

They're equal.

[each person has their strengths and weaknesses, ergo no one person is hotter than the other?]

[necromomicon]

Woah, cheesy... How like you.

[purrtagonist]

I don't know if I'd consider that cheesy. . . why? How'd you answer that question?

[necromomicon]

They're all unfairly hot.

[she makes a frustrated noise, stretching and letting her limbs fall to the side, letting her phone fall too.]

How am I supposed to concentrate on support?! Have you seen what Queen's outfit does for her butt?! And then Pyrrha dresses down, but she doesn't have to dress up because her boobs are literally right at my eye level! And then that look in Panther's eyes when she does a follow-up...

[SHE SIGHS, flailing her limbs a bit.]

I kind of want to make out with half of our friends and it is really weird.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . FUTABA. . .]

I don't know if I'd go quite that far, personally--

[making out is saved for the people for which he has ROMANSU FEELINGS!!]

[necromomicon]

Well, I don't mean at once.

[FUTABA THAT ISN'T WHAT HE MEANT]

[purrtagonist]

. . .

Yeah, that's pretty physically impossible.

[WHY IS THAT HIS ONLY COMMENTARY]

[necromomicon]

You can't tell me you haven't thought about what it'd be like to make out with them, though.

[purrtagonist]

[an amused snort]

Not really.

[teammates are hot, but his feelings for most of them are completely platonic]

I guess I'd rather just kiss the people I'm really into, y'know?

[necromomicon]

Like Pyrrha or Skull.

[purrtagonist]

[CHOKES]

Not Pyrrha-- [LEAVE HIM ALONE HE'S STILL WORKING THAT ONE OUT]

[not denying Ryuji, tho]

[necromomicon]

Oh? Maybe you should!

Besides, that doesn't change anything... I'm into all of them, that's all.

[purrtagonist]

[one learns something new about their li'l sis every day]

Really?

[hm. hm! he rubs the back of his neck, thoughtful]

I don't think I could do that.

[he's pretty monogamous, tbh]

[necromomicon]

Huh? You already are, right? Ryuji and Pyrrha.

[SHE DOESN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY.... because she's never had the idea put into her head yet.]

[purrtagonist]

[he's totally thinking she means it that way, oops]

No, no, that's not-- [AUGH, FEELINGS] I don't know.

[it isn't quite the same. . . the feeling for Pyrrha is new, a budding blossom without a name or tangible shape. he knows he likes to spend time with her, and he thinks he'd like to take her out on a date. the thought of her possibly being into someone else is a small sting because of that, but honestly? that's about it]

[his feelings for Ryuji are a bit more defined. they're older, clearer, and have had time to root themselves into Akira's heart. but. . . well.]

[he doesn't really think about how he misses Ryuji much when he's hanging out with Pyrrha. maybe that's a sign? it's definitely less "balancing strong feelings for two people" and more, "has liked someone for a while now, but may start to get over that crush to like someone else."]

[it's complicated]

It's-- hard to explain. But that's not quite it. And I don't think I could do the "dating more than one person at a time" thing, anyway.

[necromomicon]

... Dating more than one person at a time? Uh, yeah, that's called 'cheating', isn't it? It's kind of a huge jerk thing.

[remember, all of her life knowledge comes from anime. she only learned dating girls was an option recently....]

[purrtagonist]

[snort]

Yep.

[TO MOST PEOPLE. and to him!! personally]

But some people are okay with it. "Open relationships," you know?

[shrugs!! he isn't about that life but he ain't gonna judge anyone who is, for sure]

[necromomicon]

That sounds weird... Why are there so many different things like this when no one back home did anything but the same thing?

[A QUESTION FOR THE AGES, FUTABA]

[purrtagonist]

Because society as a whole gets caught up in repeating the same old patterns from generation after generation, without thinking that different people might find happiness in different things?

[#millenials]

[necromomicon]

After the Holy Grail, let's steal that next.

[MILLENNIALS NOW KILLING MONOGAMY]

[purrtagonist]

[DON'T KILL MONOGAMY COMPLETELY, AKIRA IS MONOGAMOUS]

I guess it would be pretty fitting for us to steal outdated and traditional views on romance next, huh?
