[a_meebo]

[What.

What????]

What makes you ask that?

[He's confused. This is the second question he's gotten about his closeness/relationship with Sorey.]

text;

[dereban]

I'm asking because when I talked to Sorey and talked about his "boyfriend" he immediately thought of you. And then proceeded to the next stage and thought you two were dating.

He said he doesn't know. So are you or are you not?

text; 1/3, she has broken him a little bit

[a_meebo]

["Boyfriend?"

For a second, Mikleo stares at it blankly as his mind immediately goes to the platonic meaning of the word. That doesn't make sense when taken into the dating context.]

text; 2/3

[a_meebo]

[And then it hits him like a sledgehammer the next second on what the most common connotation of the word is.]

text; 3/3

[a_meebo]

[Mikleo...has no idea how to answer this. No idea. Especially considering Sorey said he 'doesn't know.' What the hell is that supposed to mean, Sorey?!

Crap. Response needed. He doesn't want to leave Inaba hanging.]

I don't think we are.

[He's pretty...sure.... Unless something's happened to change that while Sorey was off in their world. That's something Mikleo's going to have to ask him about.]

[dereban]

[ Inaba is literally counting the seconds between her message and his reply and while a part of her is disappointed, there's the other part of her that... really... wants to meddle with this... ]

You don't think you are? What kind of half assed answer is that? 〈(゜。゜)

You two are idiots. Aren't you guys sleeping together?

[a_meebo]

[Mikleo is so glad this is over text because his face is beet red and he can articulate a response better.]

We sleep in the same bed, yes. That's normal for us. We don't. Do more than that.

[Man. Man. He's not sure he can look Sorey in the eye for a couple days because of this conversation. Never in a million years did Mikleo think he'd be even having this discussion.]

1/2

[dereban]

Most people who aren't couples don't, you know. Sleep in the same bed in general, that is.

[dereban]

[ And now that she's got that out of the way, she'll actually be a little more serious. ]

Then, answer me this. Are your feelings for Sorey different than your feelings for your other friends? And I don't mean to dredge this up, but... wasn't it painful when he disappeared?

I'm just saying that you two would make a good couple. Maybe you should try kissing him sometime.

[ INABA???? ]

[a_meebo]

[INABA.

It does get Mikleo thinking about it, though. Despite her suggestion to try kissing the boy. Perhaps now is as good a time as any to reflect on it.]

Well, yes. We've just always been close. And...yes. It was painful.

[Like missing half of himself. There's a pause before another text comes through.]

It's something to think about.

[dereban]

Definitely think about it, at least. You should be lucky that you have someone like that by your side.

[a_meebo]

I am, all things considered. Other than the fact that we've known each other since birth, he can perceive me naturally back on our world, which is a rare thing for humans.

[Mikleo's learned not to take it for granted.]

[dereban]

That's good. I'm glad. I'm kind of jealous, you know!

But why exactly is it rare for people to see you?

[a_meebo]

I'm a seraph. Seraphim aren't usually seen by humans without having exceptionally high resonance, which is what we call the ability to perceive us. It's only a little more common for humans to only hear us or sense our presence.

[dereban]

I see. So clearly what this means is that I should be anticipating the next CERESCon.

[a_meebo]

CERESCon?

[Inaba can probably imagine question marks floating all around Mikleo's head.]

[dereban]

It's a convention that they had a while back that had items and stuff on the people here. Kind of like a festival, I guess?

[a_meebo]

Well, that's...weird. If it's in the colony, then there's a good chance those items will be invisible to some people.

[dereban]

Well, you haven't been invisible to me, so I'll just be glad if I can get some decent BL doujinshi.

[a_meebo]

"BL doujinshi?"

[The woes of being from essentially medieval times.]

[dereban]

Boy's Love fan comics. Do you know what a comic is?

[ She feels like she needs to ask. ]

[a_meebo]

[She's so right to ask.]

No idea.

[dereban]

It's a book with solely pictures to tell the story. Actually, let me show you an example.

[ She'll link to a generic manga that shows two boys fighting and talking to each other about something really dumb. Like how HIS POWER IS TOO STRONG or something like that. ]
