alone?

[procidens]

I think his roommate Akira Kunimi was with him. :^)

[He is kidding. Please do not set his bed on fire tonight.]

[kunimeh]

uh huh

noah may be loyal but i will take u down with me :)))))

[procidens]

God, you're so attractive when you threaten me. Don't tempt me, Kunimi. I'm weak.

[kunimeh]

wh aaaaaaaat do u think im threatening u with exactly???

[procidens]

[He could hear that typo. Oh yeah. He is running with this.]

Something about taking me down with you, I believe it was.

What position do you play again?

[kunimeh]

spiker

[Do you hear that utterly deadpan challenge too, Whelk? He scores the points.]

[procidens]

Interesting, though if I'm remembering correctly from gym class, the positions shift whenever someone new serves, right?

[Man joking about being gay with your totally not gay roommate is so straight and cool bro, man, bro, oh man, bro.]

[kunimeh]

i mean ppl move but their job doesnt
u just need to be able to perform from every part of the court

but i didnt mean volleyball dude thats not even a challenge

[procidens]

[Now Whelk is a little confused. He definitely also was not talking about volleyball. Is Kunimi making this weird? Don't make it weird, bro.]

Are you trying to confess something to me right now?

[kunimeh]

[And now Kunimi's laughing so hard he can barely breathe.]

u tell me what were doing here u started it

keywords kind of relevant

[procidens]

[That's okay 'cause Whelk is too. This is so stupid. May as well go for it.]

You want to fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid.

[kunimeh]

p sure u just think that abt everyone

[procidens]

Not an outright denial.

Interesting.

[kunimeh]

"want" is kinda strong but i would

[procidens]

[This is a power move he was not expecting. He has admittedly never gotten this far in a game of gay chicken - except for with Czerny, which had ended up...how it ended up.

[This creates an intense wave of cognitive dissonance. At what point does "Kunimi is fucking with me" turn into "Kunimi is offering to fuck me"? Should he tell Czerny about this? What the fuck is happening right now? Dammit, he needs to think of a good response before the space between messages becomes embarrassing.

[May as well just go for it?]

I'm to the point where I can't tell how serious you are. I suppose that's intentional. So, let's be frank then.

Have you ever actually been with another man?

[kunimeh]

[Unfortunately for ya boy, Kunimi's quite comfortable with being casually Out to small circles of friends.]

most ppl cant if that makes u feel better

i mean we were 15 so idk if id call him a "man" but yeah

[He still hasn't clarified if he actually is attracted to Whelk.]

[procidens]

[Whelk's brain continues to shut down slowly. He's never met a boy his age who is actually comfortable with other boys his age knowing that they like boys his age?

[Akira Kunimi is actually cool as fuck? He kind of hates that that's what his brain is going to right now. Cool enough to share his own secrets with though? Maybe not.

[Maybe so.]

So, are you gay then?

[kunimeh]

i think im bi tbh
girls are p hot

[Hopefully Whelk will never come to see that this is all a carefully crafted mask... but he undoubtedly will. For now, Kunimi loves having this ability to wear Whelk down until he finally talks some sense... and he's taking a tiny, tiny shine to the other boy too]

[procidens]

Good to know.

[He considers leaving it at that. He's certainly not going to let on anything about himself or Czerny.

[But then the tiniest sliver of humanity peeks its way through his own carefully crafted mask, and he adds:]

I won't tell anyone. Just so you know.

You wouldn't be hot enough gossip if you tried.

[It's hard to tell whether that's out of concern for Kunimi's well-being, or out of future self-preservation. He doesn't think deeply enough about it to decide which.]

[kunimeh]

yeah u seem more like... info broker than gossip lmao

thanks tho
guessing by ur reaction i shouldnt tell anyone else either

[procidens]

I'm going to choose to take that as a compliment. The info broker bit, anyway.

Careful not to make too many assumptions. You've only known me two and a half weeks. :^)

[kunimeh]

no this is a compliment:

ur not as unbearable as u seemed at 1st

[procidens]

Ew. That's a terrible compliment. I strive to be off-putting. What's wrong with you?

[kunimeh]

oh ur still plenty offputting when u wanna be
but not unbearable
