I think it'd be even weirder for me to be talking to you about it if it was for someone else.

[izanagis]

[... ... ... Oh. Wow. He-- he said the thing.

A beat.]

It's
... Weird. Yeah. But not in a bad way.

[garbagecanned]

ya
where did it come from anyway

[izanagis]

I was imagining the questions I'd get if I called you my "person" when talking to someone else.

[garbagecanned]

so
ur just
gonna say bf??

[why is this such a hard concept to grasp, Yosuke.]

[izanagis]

Thought I'd spell it out to "boyfriend," actually.

[WHY ARE THEY LIKE THIS]

[garbagecanned]

U KNO WHAT I MEAN
dont get technical bro

[izanagis]

[no respect for smart-assed pedantry i guess smh!!!

Anyway in lieu of making some other smart-assed remark about how 'bro' is probably not as specific as 'boyfriend', he decides to actually answer the question--] That's the plan. Only if you're okay with it, though.

[garbagecanned]

[there's a few more moments while Yosuke just starts flailing and internally (maybe externally???) screaming.

but then he pulls himself together to sound cool

totally cool.]

yeah im
yeah im ok w/ it
its cool

[izanagis]

Okay.

[Yu sounds pretty cool about it, doesn't he? Except that he's had to go hide in a back room at work, because his face is horribly bright red. And he's rehearsed the content of this very simple one-word text in his head multiple times before even typing it out.

And it takes him a stupidly long time to send this next message:]

Boyfriend.
