...becoming a magical boy made it much easier for me to think about just going places whenever so now I'm tempted to visit you just to get these promised hugs.

Yutaka??

you available today?

You can drop by for hugs if you want!

He downs the rest of his cereal and gets to his feet. I want, he says, changing into outside clothes and starting to put his shoes on. Though, uh—is it okay if I meet up with Akira later? —you can, uh, be around, if you want? I'm not gonna do—anything with him, I just— It would be the worst if Haru thought he was cheating he needs to be extremely clear that he is not cheating!!!

Would I improve the situation in any way or is this just to be transparent about not macking on this guy?

...mostly the second thing? We just, uh, started dating, I don't want to look like I—am not serious. About you, I mean.

wow, you just started seeing this guy and you're already bored?

not to shag

just to chat

Iwasaki Yutaka wanting to meet up just to chat

will wonders never cease?

yeah

...damn you're serious

ok

if you wanted to mack on some guy you would probably not bother to tell me that you were talking to him at all, go ahead and meet up if I'm not going to be providing compensation for the lack of photographic evidence by showing up in person or something.

Yeah no I think he'd feel pretty scorned if I brought you. ...I'm on my way over by the way, I forgot to say.

lunch?

sushi on me

we'll go to that place with the temaki you like

and you don't want to fuck?

I'm so confused

I'll accept the free food though

I'm on the balcony!

meet there at 1?

And here's a magical Yutaka putting his phone away into his bag of holding so ready to hug his boyfriend.

Hug!

Hi, gorgeous. Oh, boyfriend hugs should definitely be part of a recommended balanced breakfast, this makes me feel so much better.

I'm glad I can help!

Is your mum home, am I being terribly impolite, should I go say hi—

She's out. She's out a lot, I think she likes that I'm having dinner with you all the time because it means she doesn't feel like she's falling down on the job for not having something on the table and leaving me to fend for myself.

"Oh I actually haven't even ever introduced myself to her as your boyfriend... Oh why does that sound terrifying."

"...no idea, why would it? She's nice, she's not like your dad - uh, you presumably at some point had a mom but you've never mentioned her -?"

"She passed when I was a baby, I never met her."
