[yuel is cute and mineo will just manage this without flustering too bad - but his expression just turns a little thoughtful]
... 'friendly'.... How do people even see us...
[he knows takeru would hate that]
... it kind of is - but we're running into new problems. I don't think they're... worse problems, really. I just don't like giving him stuff to worry about.
[a beat]
I don't want to ask you to keep more secrets, Yuel-san... but uh - I'd prefer it if people just talked to Takeru about me less. I'm pretty sure it just gets on his nerves.
[ She's quiet for a moment before looking over at Mineo, failing to suppress a smile. ]
... Is there anything that doesn't get on his nerves?
[ He's annoyed with her 24/7. ]
I wonder what it is ya see in him, to still be his friend when he's like that... But from the sound of it, it still seems like you two care about each other.
Yeah, the normal way to put him in a good mood isn't working lately.
But he's my partner. It's hard to tell... but when he's hard on you, it's probably because he cares. It's pretty backwards... but I'd only be worried if he totally gave up on you. It's easier to just ignore someone you totally hate, right?
I don't wanna say that he cares a lot in general... but once he decides you're worth his time, he'll invest a bit more into you. And I know that... when you walked through the door today, he wasn't happy.
So even if he's rude to you, you still matter to him.
she's clearly teasing him but mineo looks so unreasonably serious about giving somebody a hickey]
No.... I'm not.
I wouldn't lie about something as serious as helping a friend. If - If that's what you really want from me, then I'll do it. It's important to me that you get your wish.
So you can ask whatever you need from me and I'll help you get there.
[ She's looking at him with doubt, not because she actually doubts how much Mineo cares for his friends, but because she can't tell if this is an intimidation tactic.
He's trying to get her to back down, isn't he?
But she's not one to be intimidated, so she'll close her eyes again and tilt her head toward him. ]
i hate it here because he's going to just wonder what the hell kind of world he's living in? he has no reason to think that she's not serious about this - but even then, he's not really someone who will exactly take the opportunity too indulgently -
even if that's the point?
well, it just feels a little wrong. even this much feels like he should've at least bought her dinner first but. if it's what she wants, then.
he'll lean in just to briefly press a quick peck to her lips. embarrassing. het chicken is the worst.]

... if you're sure.... but if you change your mind, let me know.
You went through a lot today.

[ . . . ]
Sorry, I ain't good... I don't like people seein' me scared.
no subject
... I get that.
You don't need to say sorry.
no subject
You musta been scared too, right before ya came here. [ She glances at him. ] Are ya still keepin' that a secret?
no subject
... nope.
When we were seeing each other's memories - he found out. A couple of other people did too.
... so it's still mostly a secret but....
[takeru found out, and that's who mineo wanted to hide it from the most]
no subject
He wasn't too mad, was he? [ Though with Takeru, it's kind of hard to tell. ] You guys still seemed friendly at trial.
Ain't it any easier with that secret on your shoulders?

She'd been pretty close to giving up on Takeru entirely. ]
