...d'you need more hugs?

Honestly, yeah, I wouldn't say no.

Where are you?

Address. He's been kind of vaguely ambling in the direction of Haru's without paying much attention to where he's going or being particularly quick about it.

A superhero appears, cloak billowing!

—it is unkind to the sun that you should appear so radiantly. He might need to duck away somewhere to be able to transform though.

Arise fair magical boy and kill the envious sun?

I don't know how to keep sounding fancy but my response to that is that the sun is everyone else's, you're mine. 

...okay that was perhaps a bit presumptuous but he will not caveat it and will instead transform so he can properly be hugged if Haru didn't get incredibly turned off by that proclamation.

Looks like he is still on hugging terms with Haru. "It was a mangled Romeo and Juliet quote."

Yaaaaaay hugs. "Am I going to have to read the entire works of William Shakespeare to be able to keep up with my boyfriend's references?"

"You can probably skip the histories."

"Understood." He squeezes Haru closer and rests his head on Haru's shoulder, letting his eyes close.

Pet pet.

"I'm gonna need to do the same thing with Toshiki and I think that's going to go... worse. Akira said he's been moping like a sad puppy since that day..."

"Oh dear, poor guy."

He sighs. "I'm gonna message Takuo and give it a week and see if I can't set him and Akira up but that's a longer-term project, and Toshiki I—have no idea."

"I wish I had more ideas but I think I'm pretty useless about this."

Slight shrug. "It's my mess, I'll figure out how to fix it." And he is not touching all of the other shit Akira said with a ten-foot pole. He does not know how to deal with it and the way Iwasaki Yutaka deals with things he doesn't know how to deal with is: he doesn't. Into the box they go.

"Did you wind up showing him a picture of me?" Haru wonders.

"Yeah. The ones I took of you in the kitchen earlier today. He said that no one can say I have bad taste."

Snort.

"And then he got mad at me for not bragging because usually I'd brag and it was because what I wanted to brag about wasn't how hot you were and it would be insensitive for me to brag about how cool you are instead but he insisted so I did."

"...oh?"

Hook, line, and sinker.

"The fact that the thing you wanted most in the world was to get rid of malaria is the coolest. I didn't even think to make a wish like that and it was just, you immediately thought about it. You're so smart, like all the time, and you take things seriously, and you can do some magic sorcery while writing on a notebook that makes you manage to care more about things which is completely insanely superpowered and I'm glad I wasn't able to do that because I would've made a different wish if I were and then we'd all be dead but that's pure luck not skill. You're good at knowing what you want and getting it and you don't waste time in doing that. You're the kind of person who gets happy, like really happy for real, to be given the chance to help other people and be a superhero, like you're not doing it performatively you're just like that. Every opinion you have you thought through and you have a good, solid reason to have it. You're really interesting to talk to, and when you talk about stuff you like your eyes shine and it makes me want to kiss you.

"I didn't tell him about the wish stuff but I glomarised it."

Eeeeee~
