"...wow that is heavy-handed. I'd have thought he'd be more subtle than that."

Permalink

"He doesn't have a single subtle bone in his body. Kinda banking on that to help with the investigation."

Permalink

"If I could catch him saying it was him, and record it, it would be over."

Permalink

"...do you think he's that unsubtle?"

Permalink

"Well, no, but I just need him to admit to enough that it will scare away all prosecutors rather than just ninety-nine percent of them. Or even just enough that if it gets out it will fuck with his image."

Permalink

"Mm. You got a plan for that?"

Permalink

"Half of one. Ōta Kaiyō-san is, I hear, very good at digging up connections, and if Father thought there was no point in denying it..."

Permalink

"Sounds hard to arrange."

Permalink

"I'm optimistic."

Subaru looks at Tōkan at that, then sighs, takes a puff from his cigarette, and exhales the smoke. "Spill. What are you holding back from asking about?" Though Subaru thinks he knows.

Permalink

Tōkan grins. "So... Aoki-senpai, hmm?"

Permalink

Subaru blushes.

Permalink

"You never told me he was Ōta & Ōta's kid. And he didn't mention it at all either the time we met, which from my read of him at the time is more surprising."

Permalink

"He doesn't trust most alphas and didn't trust you then. ...but he would've blabbed if we'd spent more than ten minutes together, you're not wrong."

Permalink

"He's right to be proud of them. They're... the word that comes to mind is 'formidable'. My father is also that but the two of them looked like they could stare Kokonoe Tochima down until he cried."

Permalink

Subaru covers his lips to hide a smile. "In Aoki's words, Ōta Makino eats men like Kokonoe Tochima for breakfast."

Permalink

"Wow, Kageyama Subaru, I don't think I've ever seen you speak ill of my father so openly."

Permalink

"Maybe you and Aoki-senpai are rubbing off on me."

Permalink

"—you're filthy."

Permalink

"You walked into that one with your eyes wide open."

Permalink

"So, are you back together?"

Permalink

"...not exactly."

Permalink

"'Not exactly' is not a no."
