I am exaggerating. I did not feel that moved to violence. But I was really annoyed that they thought I was that shallow. Though I guess everyone's only just met me so maybe I shouldn't feel so annoyed. I'm annoyed anyway.

I don't think I'd say 'shallow' for dating the only obviously gay guy in school. Maybe 'not very discriminating' or something.

Well I've been with more guys than I can count and you're the first one I dated so nyeh.

—uh...

Than you can count?

I mean I could probably count them if I, like, remembered them all? It's definitely been less than fifty. He thinks.

Wow.

...I, uh. I said I was a fuckboy? Um, but I mean, I think that means I'm discriminating? Because out of all of those boys you're the only one I liked? Uh. Am I digging my grave, here.

I'm mostly distracted by trying to figure out how you could possibly accomplish that without having started hooking up with people when you were distressingly young, like, I guess you could lie about your age on an app, that would probably do it if you were very dedicated?

He releases the breath he'd been holding. I, uh, first kissed a boy when I was twelve, and I first did more than that when I was—not quite fourteen. Not much more than that, then. Haru is going to hate him Haru is going to think he is a slut and they shouldn't date and that will be AWFUL and Yutaka will need to rewind because he doesn't want Haru to break up with him—

Then I guess if this occupies an entire hobby slot in your life you can fit in fifty. And not remember them. It's hard for me to imagine but like - people are different, I guess - uh, do we need to have a monogamy conversation at some point -

Would Iwasaki-san care to read aloud this passage, since he's clearly paying SO much attention to English class.

THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME FOR THAT. THIS IS EXTREMELY NOT THE RIGHT TIME FOR THAT.

He is going to—transform in front of everyone, pause time, check the relevant passage, then unpause and rewind to just before that—

Sec I'm being cold called but I haven't been with anyone else this week and wasn't planning to, and then yes he can in fact read aloud this passage.

(The reaction to him suddenly FUCKING VANISHING is pretty strong in the split second before he pauses time.)

(Yeah yeah they can fucking deal with it if they want to cold call him while he's having a complicated conversation with his—with Haru.)

He will read the passage aloud and he will try to look happy and serene while doing it like of course sensei he will read the passage aloud, he is such a good student, look at how good he is at this.

Very well then, the teacher's baleful eye will pass on to another student.

Argh.

—sorry that was really rotten timing. Uh, monogamy conversation?

I should probably not telepathy you too much during class, sorry! I just wanted to know if we needed to have one of those, possibly not in the middle of the school day.

I am terribly bored especially when I already had all of these classes so I am not going to complain about the telepathy, I just don't know what exactly it is that you mean by that.

Should we have an entire conversation about whether and how to be monogamous.

Uh—maybe? If, I mean I guess it would be pretty hypocritical of me to want you all to myself this early especially since you haven't been with any other boys before? But hypocritical or not he does kind of want Haru all to himself. Because he has gone entirely insane, as he's mentioned so many times over the past few days. So yeah sure we can talk about that.

- I mean are you all set to give up your hooking up with unmemorable boys hobby.

...I wasn't, uh, planning to, uh—I mean I haven't dated anyone before like I said but I thought it was kind of a given that people who are dating usually don't hook up with unmemorable others? I guess I know that open relationships and polyamory, like, exist...

Iwasaki you are being so incredibly incompetent today what is WRONG with you yes yes he knows what's wrong with him shut up please.

I also think this is usually a given and don't especially want to be polyamorous! I just wanted to, like, check, because usually somebody's entire hobby isn't that.
