Both of their phones buzz near simultaneously.

Haru - looks at his, hoping to catch a key word or at least the name before he bounces off it.

It's from Wendy. He can catch the word 'available?'

Teddy is reading it.

"-Text from Wendy. I guess she sent it to both of us. Uhh... Bad dungeon, wants guiding, sounds like..."

"Yeah, do you want to text her or should I call her to come over?"

"I'm texting her. And having vague logistical worries, but what else is new."

"Uh, this place's address... Oh there it is."

"I think probably we both just lounge on top of her cuddled up with each other, should be very efficient. Might want to crank the AC."

"But you see my brain insists it's weirder with three people- Well, whatever. Send. This is the kind of thing we just ignore because reality of espers, I guess."

"It would be weirder if we'd been in flagrante but I don't think it is given that we're just sitting here."

"...Um."

"- sorry, I can filter what I say backlashed but not in the form of in-the-moment judgment calls very well."

"Understandable and I don't blame - backlashed you. This is more me tripping up on my own internal filter? I don't know if I ought to verbalize the thought I had."

"Well, you can but you certainly do not have to."

"Well, the actual thought was something like 'he should probably know I want to kiss her'."

"It came up last time, if not really definitively."

"Yeah. So like. Another reason for no kissing quite yet. I did say, right at the beginning, bi leaning straight, I think. It's just... I just am. And I can - probably do monogamy - just... I never have, and I don't know these things, and... It's not a perfect fairy tale I guess.

"I don't require a fairytale. I'd rather be a superhero than hold out for one."

"I don't want to trample on what fairytaleness remains just because I can, because you don't require it."

Phone buzz.

"...She's on the way over."

"Well, take your time, it is not technically true that I'm not impatient, I'm an incredibly impatient person temperamentally, but I am not here endorsing the impatience."

"...I mean. I still might decide I- Can't be fairytaleish- But don't rule it out prematurely, sort of? Mmh. I guess I don't really have my feelings on this fully pinned down yet. Empathy is a thing, it feels good to make your social group happy, so I'm maybe looking for the best rate of personal augh to - that?"

"Well, it's not very fairytaleish if you're tanking personal augh the entire time!"

"...Yeah, good point. Oh look our unwanted company anxiety snuck in when I wasn't paying attention."

Pat pat.

Squeeze.

"Just like you tried being bi and it wasn't happening I guess. Try to force things and you'll just end up mad and having broke something."

"It was frustrating! I'm usually pretty good at editing myself once I've gotten to the point of being sure I'd like to. I could probably kiss a girl, like, medicinally, if you will, and not hate it, but it would be reasonable for the girls in question to have higher standards than not hating it."
