no, i don't think so?

unless that's what you and shouhei were talking about out of earshot?

[In which case, probably for the best. She might be easygoing about her boyfriend watching porn (and more embarrassed about stumbling onto it than anything), but overhearing or being party to some kind of Porn Aficionado Round Table between the boys would probably be really uncomfortable.]

[pettymuch]

I TOLD SHOUHEI????

[What are the chances Shouhei is next to him on the couch, right now? High.]

[suntones]

[Capslock? Why did that warrant capslock?]

i just said i... don't know?

[this_is_a_pizza]

hey youko ヾ(＾∇＾)

so...should i be worried about san-chan suddenly crying or is san-chan just being san-chan again (・・;)ゞ

[suntones]

[A text from Shouhei is rare enough for the name to momentarily throw her off, but the message content makes her stomach drop.]

hi shouhei. maybe be worried?

i thought... he was taking what we were talking about well, but... maybe not?

[this_is_a_pizza]

well he was grinning and snickering at it his phone a few seconds before

but you know how san-chan is all ✧｡٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*｡ ➡️ \(”˚☐˚)/ about everything

it's more weird that he won't even look at me. if he was mad, i know he'd be yelling about it

[suntones]

he's crying and he won't look at you?

[And before that he was all grins and snickers?

That does seem like it lowers the likelihood of Bandou rethinking his opinion of what she told him on a dime. But then why—?]

does he respond if you talk to him?

[this_is_a_pizza]

lemme check

[A few pokes and a San-chaaan~ or two later...]

okay he told me to shut up and went to his room. i think he's embarrassed about something? which isn't too strange. i just don't know what about

[suntones]

so now he's isolating?

[Besides the fact that the idea of Bandou hauling off to hole up in his room and cry by himself aches, there's an awful, nagging feeling in the back of Youko's mind that she should have all the clues to figure out why, but the solution is just out of reach. Embarrassment isn't that unusual for either of them, but she can usually see the trigger. Now—?

It's probably safe to assume he was fine through her admitting to liking girls. Then... he asked her if he talked about his porn at the bar after she joked about his open tabs and his tastes. Then he got agitated when she mentioned—

...

...

... huh.]

shouhei? thanks for letting me know. i'm going to see if i can't coax him into talking to me. i'll report back?
