Ahh, it's just a past thing, then. Yes, that's alright with me. He's as much a part of you as anyone you met, to deny the impact he had on you would be to deny yourself, and I definitely don't want that.
For a couple years, yes. Eventually Himawari met her husband and decided to break off from our group, and the fact that she couldn't visit often after she went to college helped get us to that point-
[Oh, but she probably doesn't need those details.]
But, er. Yes. We all dated each other at the same time, for a short while.
Mind you, dating isn't easy. It's hard enough for two people to date. Adding a third is that much harder, and the fact that we only managed it for a couple years should tell you what you need to know about that. But it wasn't a bad time by any means, I enjoyed being with them for the time we had.
I haven't heard of that sort of arrangement before, but that's sounds really sweet, actually, ahahaha. I guess that would make inter-pair rivalry die down a bit if you're all together...
[ And actually, briefly makes her think of Ann. Hmm. ]
The strangest part of it all is that I had completely misunderstood the 'love triangle' that preceded it. I liked Himawari, and I thought Doumeki did too and that he was my rival for her affections. But it turns out, they both liked me.
[ this entire game was her bisexual awakening don't assume she knows when a girl is flirting with her okay this is NEW AND STRANGE ]
Y-Yes. Please take care of yourself for the rest of this game, and I'll do the same, so--when this is over, um, I hope I can spend more time with you.
[ And that came out a little anticlimactic, so.
...hmm. Does she want to do something that bold? Mmmmaybe if he makes that flustered face again. Since...she's been making all the moves so far, smh. ]
Hey, can you turn a little? [ towards her. because he's getting a little tiny baby peck on the cheek. ]
[Sorry Sakura, he's a bottom and not so great at making the first move. But he's one to enthusiastically reciprocate once those affections are known, at least? Which she will be finding out sooner than later it seems, as he turns a little at her request and ends up going bright pink once that kiss is there.]
Ah-er-
[He stumbles for a bit before ultimately finding his footing.]
[He's really tempted to throw caution to the wind and go right for her lips, but he'll hold back for now. Later, he reminds himself. When they have time for smooching and don't have to worry about random Furniture suddenly popping up to judge them.
So he'll lean in and kiss her softly on the cheek, a light touch to match the one Sakura gave him.]

[ a beat ]
...you did?
[ okay she is curious about this apparent 3-way relationship now ]
no subject
[He gives her a curious look, though.]
Yes? That's not a problem, is it?
no subject
No, I'm just not sure I understand what you mean. You did date both of them at the same time?
[ pls explain poly to her ]

She thinks for a moment. ]
...Watanuki-kun, this is sort of a strange thing to ask, but--do you like Ann-san?
[ just gonna put that out there because she's making all the moves on him apparently ]
no subject
...you realize that from the timing of that question I know exactly what you're getting at, right?
no subject
[ although she does want to run out of the room right now because HE KEEPS READING HER LIKE AN OPEN BOOK, STOP THAT ]
Ann-san...really wanted me to come talk to you. And she--we--I...I don't know, I was just wondering what sort of relationship you had with her.
[ frantic shrugging!!! ]
no subject
I think she's cute? And she's my friend. We get along pretty well, yeah.
...she really told you to come talk to me? But she's been hitting on you for ages now!
[Which. Is part of why he never approached her, because he thought Ann and Sakura were going to become a thing.]
1/2
[ ........................................ ]
I-I mean, I noticed last night, and a little last week, but--
no subject
[ ahem. ]
I think I need to talk to her, later. But--that's later.
[ look she asked out a guy and he said yes she wants to revel in that for a while ]
no subject
Later, then. Maybe when this is all over.
[Because uh. Saving Nirrti and not dying kind of takes priority.]
no subject
Y-Yes. Please take care of yourself for the rest of this game, and I'll do the same, so--when this is over, um, I hope I can spend more time with you.

Do you mind if I, um.
[Give one back, he means.]
no subject
[ AH, THERE IT IS. THE FACE SHE LIKES. WORTH IT. If she has to be the dominant one in this relationship so be it!!!
She pulls the hair away from that side of her face and leans a little. Go for it. ]
no subject
