And without asking the reciprocal, obviously. 

...but actually the thing is that he wants to get to know Inori better. Crushes are stupid and often happen even absent that—if nothing else, he's been sprayed with concentrated Inori personality in the face rather a lot, recently—but he'd still... like to know who Inori is, what he likes and dislikes, all that stuff. 

And actually actually, he's not in the same position as Subaru at all, because Inori and him have only known each other a few weeks. He doesn't know that Inori won't reciprocate his feelings. What he has is a regular crush, the normal kind people have all the time, the kind he's never really had before but he knows how this dance goes, he's seen it play out enough times. 

He's going to woo Yamada Inori.

"Later," he says suddenly, when they reach the intersection where they go their separate ways.

"Inori-kun, wait."

?

"Sunday. Go out with me?"

"...out where?"

"Anywhere!" Inori will be confused by this.

...???

As predicted. 

"On a date. We go out somewhere you might like to go, we spend time together, we chat about anything an everything," those aren't landing, "we buy manga and go to a nice café and beat up anyone who's being sketchy we run into," there we go now he's got a reaction.

He still looks a bit suspicious, though. "Why?"

...does he say it directly...?

Yeah. Yeah, he does. Yamada Inori likes straightforwardness.

"Because I like you. And I want to make you like me too."

"...I like you just fine?"

"Not like that, Inori-kun. I mean I like you. I have feelings for you." He said this already, did it just not go through this boy's thick skull at the time, or...?

"Oh, right, I remember, you said that that other time."

...oh of course Inori had forgotten. Honestly that one's on Tōkan, for confessing in the height of Inori's heat.

"What does it... mean."

"It means that I want to spend time with you even outside your heats," because fuck that meagre compromise, "and do things other than just fuck—of course fucking's still fine—but I want to know you as a person outside that. Being around you gives me butterflies in my stomach and makes me feel happy and giddy. And I want you to feel the same way."

...sounds horrible.

"Okay."

Why did he say that.

"When."

Why did he say that.

"Sunday at... let's say 4PM? I'll pick you up at your place."

"...fine."

"Excellent. See you then."

......why does this guy look so happy.

Why does Inori feel a bit happy, too.

Fuck him.

He turns around and stalks off to do something that makes more sense than this guy. Like maths. He has maths today.

(Ugh, he hates school.)

(He thinks he hates this guy more, though.)

And Tōkan will also message Kuroji-san about this because he is 100% certain Inori will neglect to inform his dads and part of properly wooing Inori is wooing them.

This is going to work. He has a good feeling about it.
