"Oh no. You are not allowed to attempt to take me to bed while you think I'm not real, that would be distressing, please resolve that in a timely manner."

He squeaks like a rubber duck.

"What."

"I—didn't—wasn't expecting you to—"

"Oh, if it takes you a couple days to be convinced I'm real I'll keep."

"No! I'm convinced! I'm very very convinced! I'm totally, one hundred percent certain! I am so sure!!!!!"

"Maybe you're just saying that so you can get laid."

"Well it wouldn't be so fun to get laid if it wasn't real, I had a whole crisis about that and Bondi Beach, didn't I?"

"I still think 'realness' is not the thing that is absent from the Bondi Beach scenario."

"The expectation that it represents a continuation of a state of the world I prefer to be in, rather than a small reprieve in which I am meant to just have a fleeting taste of a joy that will never be mine?"

"- that, yeah." Forehead kiss.

Squirm. "Well, for some reason you decided to give me a try anyway, so like hell am I going to let it go to waste, I'ma shoot my shot and make that joy be mine. Starting with delicious sushi."

"It's very delicious sushi."

"Would it be a bad time to mention that I happened to have most of your measurements on my phone and I could get that kimono made. And that I know for a fact you look gorgeous in it."

"- oh, no, was that a duplicate remark along with the chopsticks thing, did I already tell you about Ren's dream kimono for me. Don't they take ages??"

"Nothing takes ages when you grease enough people's hands."

"I thought maybe embroidery by the kind of people who make expensive kimonos in fact did take ages!"

"Okay it took like a couple of weeks first time around, it was done just in time for—well."

"Was there an occasion?"

"No, you just mentioned it kind of offhand and I got obsessed with the idea. It barely saw any use, except you looked so hot in it I had to give you a blowjob immediately."

Sporfle.

"If I'd known I'd be given another chance with you I'd have gotten started on it days ago."

"It took me a while to work up to asking Yamanaka to do the - thing."

"...oh, Haru..."

He shivers a little.
