[Sleeping in your boxers is perfectly normal, thank you. He's not a prude like you, Shu. And he doesn't really care if someone else sees him in them either, though he probably won't be going outside in them, at least.]

Unless she wants to do the same things.

[Inori wouldn't want to do that, would she? Shu sat on the thought for a moment.

With his self esteem being as low as it is, he'll spend the next few minutes in depression. She wouldn't like him that much. Even though that's probably not true. Shu doesn't think very highly of himself.]

[Gai can guess where Shu's thoughts have wandered off to from that silence on the other end of the feed. Not quite as planned, and now he feels bad.]

Shu. Inori chose you for a reason. That's one thing you don't have to worry about.

[She chose Shu over him-- the one who supposedly everyone loves. That alone speaks volumes right there.]

Would she be happy with it?

I'm not confident in anything and my feelings get hurt easily.

[Why would she choose him? falskdmg Gai's much stronger and reliable than he is.]

You can at least stand up for yourself.

[Yeah okay he's getting a little jealous, but not that this hasn't happened before. It isn't a new feeling. It'll go away. He knows it will.]

You're afraid she'd reject you just because you don't know what to do in bed?

[That's... okay, he can actually sort of understand that one, so he can't get too annoyed.]

[Scream.

No why?]

Where did that come from?

It's true I don't know what to do and I'd probably get confused H-Haruka never talked to me about that kind of---

[Someone please kill him and put him out of his misery.]

It's not true.

[Contradicting self is a thing.]

We're not talking about this anymore. Or else a hippie might come out of your window and tell you to stop.

Hippies are dangerous and they hug trees.

[Caroline why did you tell Shu this?]

Ducks don't make me embarrassed and they can't control the weather.

[Nonsense.

He is so bad at lying.]

[Now Gai is starting to wonder if Shu is sick or high or something or... no, wait, he's just being Shu. As socially-awkward as ever, in other words. But at least this confirms his suspicions that Shu knows absolutely nothing in that department, which is what he was expecting.]

If you're that worried about it, you could always practice first.

What?

[fasdfd]

Are you still tired?

No.

I can't. Absolutely no.

... I never said it had to be with me. I'm sure there are plenty of girls who would be willing as well. What about Yozora?

[This is his revenge for being awakened at 4 AM.]

What about Yozora?

[Color him surprised because he didn't expect her name to be mentioned in this conversation.]

Why not ask her if she'd be willing to practice with you?

[Worst idea in the history of ever.]

She'd say no for sure.

Yozora's not like that!

Stupid Gai.

How do you even think I see Yozora in the first place? I respect her.

[Yep]

Oh? I thought you said she was your friend.

She is.

Well.

I mean.

Yozora found out about how I was involved with the Funeral Parlor and she said she wouldn't abandon me because of it.

[She isn't like Yahiro, bro.]

I like that part about her. How she doesn't leave people after finding out who they are.

It's not something. It's not something many can do.

Then if she's your friend, you should ask her to let you practice. That's what friends are for, after all.

[... what, he sees absolutely nothing wrong with using people when necessary or convenient. Why else would one have friends?]

No!

I can't ask her to do that.

[Bad Gai.]

Why not? She obviously likes you too.

[Shu knows that much! But how exactly is he supposed to respond to that when Gai points it out?]

When did you notice?

I could tell the second time I spoke with her-- she's about as bad at concealing her feelings as you are.

[Ahh. You're making him embarrassed, why?]

Second time?

[It took him a while to figure it out, but hey.]

You didn't use her for anything, did you?

[Knowing Gai, that possibility is likely.]
