[Oh. Hm. He supposed he did, not that they ever made it official.

Ayer likely didn’t see it that way yet and Minato was fine not labeling their relationship. He liked where they were at and let’s be real, they both slept with other people too.]

Ayer is someone I care about, but we haven’t... made anything official. Even if we had, that doesn’t mean I don’t love you anymore.

That won’t ever change. I’m sorry I made you feel that way.

[It's like having a twin brother that's taller than you and also does not look anything like you.]

Thank you but...I don't understand why you're apologizing for liking someone.

[A very confused not!twin.]

I'm not apologizing for liking someone. I'm apologizing for making you feel like I didn't love you anymore.

[Ryoji, for an immortal being you can be very dumb.]

Oh! That's okay, I think?

[He can be pretty dumb with emotions.]

Emotions are very confusing.

I don't think it's okay. You felt unloved and it was because of me.

Well, that is what makes us human. We can be very confusing beings.

Come here. Please?

[He would go to Ryoji, but he was in Amegahara. It would take too long.]

I didn't feel unloved...I wanted to make sure you had your personal space.

But it's true, humans are very confusing...

[This from a guy who used to talk to him a small boy by his bedside.]

Can I finish cleaning the apartment first? Akira would wonder what happened if I suddenly took off.

[He's calling bullshit, but he'll let it slide. For now.]

Sure. I'll be waiting.

[Rude.]

Okay! I'll see you soon!

[He finishes the cleaning up a lot fast (since Akira is probably in his room not looking?) who says he can't 'cheat' a little more today with a dozen or so hands doing all the work at the same time.

He'll arrive at his place a cool fifteen minutes later. Appearing next to his bed. Wither Minato is there or not, that's just how you gotta deal with him.]

[He had a pair of headphones on and a laptop set up for gaming, not LmaO but some other low-key MMO that was free to play and enough of a time waster to keep on hand for moments like this. He slid the headphones down and logged out when Ryoji appeared by his bed, Minato himself sitting at his desk.]

Since when did you get into cleaning, anyway?

[He turned in his chair, resting his arm on the back.]

Hmmm...I did it at first so that Akira would let me stay then I suppose I enjoyed it! It's rather easy when I use all my hands.

Not that I let him see it, haha. He just knows the place is very clean!

All your hands?

[Had Minato seen this side of him before? He doesn't remember. Not like this, anyway. Nonetheless, he wasn't here to question what Ryoji did on his free time.

He rested his headphones on top of the laptop and stood from the chair, swiftly walking over to Ryoji and quickly wrapping his arms about the taller teen.]

Ahh...my phantom limbs? They aren't really for that normally but...it helps a lot.

[Oh! He hadn't been expecting a hug.]

You don't have to, you know. I already said it was okay.

I want to.

[And just because Ryoji said it was okay doesn't make it okay.]

I missed you.

[...]

...I really don't understand human emotions.

[The hug is nice it's just giving him more confusing emotions.]

No wonder so many wanted to join Nyx so easily...

[He can sort of understand that now?]

[He gets a soft smack in the back for that.]

Don't joke about that.

[Hey! Ow! That's not fair, you're the only one who can really harm him apart from Minako...]

I'm not! It's amazing how despite it all, you were able to defy so many people's emotional want to become one with her. Despite how... difficult emotions can be.

[Do you see what he means now?]

[Don’t be such a baby, he didn’t hit that hard.]

You know as well as I do that it wasn’t that simple. But once I had my Answer, it didn’t matter what humanity wanted. I wasn’t going to let it happen.

[He pulled back from the hug, looking up at Ryoji.]

I’d do it again, too.

[Humain-like pain is weird, okay.]

I know. [His smile is sad.] But understanding it a little more makes me appreciate so much more what you did.

You make it sound like you didn't before.

[It's a tease, complete with Minato reaching up to pull Ryoji's cheeks.]
