You don't? Why?

[creepface]

[ The reply comes a lot later, it was difficult typing this. He's been deleting the message and typing it in again, and in the end it's more of an accident that it gets sent. ]

Because I'm ugly

[creepface]

[ OMG can Hokuto hear him panicking voicelessly? HE DIDN'T MEAN TO SEND THAT! ]

[creepface]

forget eager I soak

[ thank you auto correct ]

[creepface]

FORGET WHAT I SAID

[smokingspirit]

[ To be fair, Hokuto is quite impressed at the improvement Rasu has made. On the other hand, he's also slightly concerned about that first message. ]

I don't think you are.

[ Sorry, but he's completely ignoring the panicked request. ]

[creepface]

[ Rasu really doesn't know what to do now, so there will be no answer, sorry. Still panicking. ]

[smokingspirit]

[ if he doesn't reply before work is done, Hokuto's going to go inside when he comes to pick him up. And stop by the door and peer at him for a while. ]

[creepface]

[ He doesn't notice Hokuto at first, only when he turns around and is suddenly face to face with him. And so he... turns back and tries to go for a different way out.

Kind of a useless attempt though, they live together. ]

[smokingspirit]

[ Yeah, that is a useless attempt.

He sighs. ]

Rasu-san.

[creepface]

[ JUMPS ]

I-I- he's not here, I'm so-someone else.

[smokingspirit]

[ ..... ]

...Did I say something weird again?

[creepface]

N-n-not at all!

[ More like something Rasu said. ]

[smokingspirit]

Then what's wrong? [ Honestly, they had lived together for a bit now, and Hokuto was a good superior (right? he hopes so, he hopes to be) to have. ]

[creepface]

I d- I don't- nothing.

[smokingspirit]

[ ...wait. Oh. He gets it. ] Is this because you think you're ugly?

[creepface]

N-no.

[ The jump makes it obvious that that's it exaclty though. ]

[smokingspirit]

[ Really... What a see-through lie. ]

You're not.

[creepface]

I- I. [ What can he even say to that? ] S- Sorry, I'm. It's. F-fo-forget it.

[smokingspirit]

Nope, I won't do that.

[creepface]

Ple-pl-please forget it. Please.

[smokingspirit]

That might be a little hard.

[creepface]

Th-then. Ignore i-it?

[smokingspirit]

Why?

[creepface]

B-because it's. Embarrassing. [ He's only spoken about things like that with Mother. ]
