[ It takes a lot to surprise Yusuke. Congratulations, Otabek, you've short-circuited him. And as such, his response is somewhat delayed. ]

Are you sure you want that? I thought we had agreed not to complicate things any further than we have to.

[bypasser]

I think it's complicated as it is.
I've thought about it, Yusuke. Yuri likes us both. We both like him.
The only thing that is missing is the two of us liking each other.
If we end up as only friends or nothing, then at least we'll know.

[lempereur]

I suppose we could try.

[ And a brief pause, before: ]

Did you have something in mind?

[bypasser]

Are you not interested?
I don't want you to agree if you don't really want to.
I won't be offended.

[lempereur]

I am not sure what to think. I'm surprised, mostly.

But I accept, because I want to. You are handsome and kind-hearted, so if nothing else, it should be fun.

1/2

[bypasser]

I will tell Yuri about it, as well.

2/2

[bypasser]

I liked our kiss.

[lempereur]

I will be curious to see what he says about it.

...did you want another?

1/4

[bypasser]

[Now it's his turn to short circuit.]

I'll tell you when I know.

2/4

[bypasser]

No.

3/4

[bypasser]

Yes.

4/4

[bypasser]

Not yet.

[lempereur]

When, then?

[ He's teasing...mostly. This is endearing, alright? ]

[bypasser]

I want to go to breakfast and for us to get to know each other.
Then you may kiss me.

[lempereur]

I may. As if it were my idea. You're cute.

Tell me when and where.

[bypasser]

[Oh.]

So are you.
My apartment in the morning.

[lempereur]

You have to tell me where you live, Otabek.

[bypasser]

Yuri is okay with it.

[He attaches his address to this text. In Heropa, not far where Yusuke and Yuri live.]

[lempereur]

That can't be all he said.

how honest is too honest

[bypasser]

He asked if I was sure and if I'd be okay if we didn't connect that way. Then I told him that I was jealous at his party when you two were together because I felt as if I was missing out on something.

It didn't necessarily feel direct, to only one of you. I don't want to feel that way again.

Never enough

[lempereur]

You didn't have to say so, your jealousy was very obvious.

[bypasser]

I'm sorry for that. I should have handled myself better.

[lempereur]

I have said the same thing, verbatim, at least a dozen times in the past few months. I am not troubled by it.

[bypasser]

I'll see you in the morning.

[lempereur]

I am looking forward to it.
