[deto]

[ deto’s pretty much written it off as a one-time thing, which is very different from sex - that is: an all-time thing his brain and sometimes dreams bring up, a most-times thing once they’re living together and/or married, a forever thing

but, ]

Is some of that inside you still? The dark stuff?

[justonezero]

Hm? What do you mean?

[deto]

Like… the grief. The people that didn’t… make it.

[justonezero]

[...Oh.

This much does distract him from playing a little - not enough to die in the game, but rather take down enemies before pausing.]

...I still think of them, every so often. Wondering what Hien would think if he saw how much I was going out now... Even if I didn't end up going into medicine.

[deto]

He’d be proud. I think he had a big soft spot for kids.

[justonezero]

...I hope so. It feels like all the steps I'm taking are pretty hard, even if they're small.

[deto]

But you’re taking them anyway.

[ deto sounds set, like it never crossed his mind that yoshi would choose otherwise ]

[justonezero]

I should at least do that much, right? ...Besides, it means I get to spend more time with you.

[deto]

Y’know, whatever you do, you’ll always have me. You don’t even have to do anything.

[justonezero]

Seems unfair if I don't, though?

[deto]

Why’s that?

[justonezero]

I want to be doing stuff, too.

[deto]

What else do you want to do besides get married?

[ which, ok, is what deto wants to do, ]

[justonezero]

-?!

Um... dates? And being able to pay for them! And get a good job so we can get a nice place together...

[deto]

Pay for them? Ohhh, treating me to fancy dinners, mister fiancé?

[justonezero]

Of course! I want to be able to pay for them, too!

[deto]

[ deto who buys discount sandwiches at the end of the day… ]

If it’s a fancy meal, I feel like we should drive there.

[justonezero]

That really would be fancy! But we'd have to be able to afford a car and parking and all that stuff, first.

[deto]

We could start with a bike.

[justonezero]

Like a motorbike? Riding tandem's illegal these days.

[deto]

Wait, is it?? Downgrade to a bike-bike.

[justonezero]

Yeah, you can't have more than one person on a bicycle... It really puts a damper on all those shoujo stories.

[Clearly the most important thing here.]

[deto]

[ deto, who only walks to school and hasn’t ridden a bike since elementary school, ]

Who is making these laws?? Sharing a bike is obviously cheaper and saves more space.

[justonezero]

But it's a safety concern... probably.

[He's not, like, a legal expert.]

[deto]

Yoshi, there are bigger things to worry about. Like accessibility and how not all bus stops have shade.

[ it’s a thing deto’s been reading up on more because of albino bun ]
