I see.

Is Rokurou Rangetsu one of those people?

[pushpin]

tch...... remember how patient i am w/ u being nosy in the future
its not cuz i wanna talk about it
but yea, he is
we met way back on the space station

[anbu]

You know Stiles. I would consider it even.

[Not that it's going to stop him from further nosy questions.]

You've been together long, then? Across multiple dimensions?

[pushpin]

" together "
i guess
yea

[ it's not evasion this time; it's just discomfort. he doesn't talk about Rokurou, not with the way they can only love each other in the dark, in secret. ]

[ yet in spite of that, he wants to know Itachi — and knowing means being known, the hardest part of all. ]

[ somehow, after all of these years, all he knows to do when it meets a blockade is barrel on through it without thinking of the consequence. ]

ive been in love w/ him for a long time
& hes always found me

its like that

[ honest to a fault. ]

[anbu]

[He hadn't expected honesty. Or perhaps, more accurately, he hadn't expected the honesty to be this. Even the concept of "love" is such an abstract shape in his mind, messily defined by his relationship with his younger brother. Consciously choosing it…

What a vulnerable thing to admit.]

Even though you're unlikely to remain together permanently? We have little control over these places. Or are you convinced your circumstances are unique?

[If his questions have a personal component behind them, he's prepared to accept that.]

[pushpin]

dunno if theyre unique or not
i just know loving someone dont have anything to do w/ losing them

worrying about losing someone is u loving urself too much, not them

[anbu]

An interesting perspective.

Do you... [How had Stiles worded it?] ... also see other people?

[pushpin]

..... ya mean do we fuck other people ?

[anbu]

If you prefer to put it crudely, yes.

1/2

[pushpin]

[ ... ]

im gonna give u the benefit a the doubt in assumin ur asking bcoz ur dealing w/ something similar n not bcoz u wanna fuck one of us
sound good ?

[pushpin]

but yea, we do
on lagunbiru & lunatia it was impossible to not, the food had drugs in it n the planets moons made everyone horny
somehow
its still a lil like that here, u kno ?

we just dont really talk about it
neither of us have ever really felt
idk
threatened
hes a daemon so it wasnt ever somethin i expected to..... get in return
so im happy w/ the way things are

[anbu]

[That assumption isn't wrong, although there is a second layer to the question, aware as he is of Stiles' involvement with Guanshan. There is something already between the two.]

A reasonable conclusion, given the circumstances of places like these.

[Is he going to leave it like that, offering nothing back...]

Stiles and I have reached a similar understanding. However, I'm not certain it is wise in practice. Yet I have little experience with this situation.

[Guanshan's open honesty earns some back at last.]

[pushpin]

[ okay! alright, hey, now we're getting somewhere! ]

what u worried about ?

[anbu]

The nature of Synchrony is not strictly a physical connection, but an emotional one. It will only be natural for Stiles to form close bonds with other individuals.

Then again, that may be for the best. I don't consider myself an ideal companion for him.

[Let's just logic out the feelings.]

[pushpin]

he dont want whats best for him
he wants u
right ?

in places like this, meetin people u never would otherwise, that has to be enough

[anbu]

[Is it enough?]

I appreciate the insight.

You are surprisingly earnest, despite your behavior.

[pushpin]

.....whats that word mean
this is backhanded aint it

[anbu]

Only if you decide that it is.

I mean that I did not expect this level of intuition and sincerity from you.

[He should've known, after that domestic dinner date.]

[pushpin]

oh

[ ...no, he can't quite find a way to make that sound bad. darn. ]

dont compliment me anymore

[anbu]

[oh]

It was only the truth. Does that make you uncomfortable?

[pushpin]

we'll go w/ that

[anbu]

[slides this into his back pocket for a rainy day]

All right.

Was there anything else you wished to discuss?

1/2

[pushpin]

oh uh......

[ quick, think of something ]

[pushpin]

do u
like
pasta ?????

[ flirting with your crush... #nailedit ]

[anbu]

No.

[get wrecked]

... I don't know. It isn't something I've had more than once. Cooking is a hobby of yours, I take it?
