[Dice tries to keep up the friendly, flirtatious banter along the way, but he feels Gentaro get... distracted along the way.]

Hey, did I say something weird?
catarou: (You’re still unfamiliar)

[ Of course he'd noticed. Anyone would, if someone had been returning the same energy, then had fallen quieter.

He shakes his head, finding it difficult to look at Dice. ]


No, ah-- It's not you at all. I apologize.

You got something on your mind? I don't mind listening.

[He's still grinning, with a little bounce to his step. All his worries are over, and he likes this guy. What could possibly be wrong?]
catarou: (you may have a point)

[ Mortifying. Why does Dice have to perceive him so thoroughly? ]

... It's nothing to worry about. [ He clears his throat. ] When we arrive, I'll be perfectly fine.

[He moves a little closer and slings an arm around Gentaro.]

If you're sure! I'll help ya out, so don't be shy!

[ ... Ah.

Gentaro's breath hitches sharp and fast. He leans against Dice, gripping at his shirt with one hand.

For now, he has enough control to pull away, but he doesn't think he can lie his way out of it. ... It wouldn't be a terrible thing, though, to give in. ]


Forgive me. I... am not sure what's come over me.

[ He says it breathlessly, eyes on everything but Dice. ]
