[Aha.

They're already holding hands, so:]

Mineo. There is no shame in curiosity.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he looks like

he's wondering if he's being tricked]

.... but you still can't tell anybody....

[THIS IS SO EASY TO GUESS FROM KNOWING HIM]

[notaccurate]

Let's do a trade, then: we can watch together, and I won't tell anyone.

[sengokus]

[oh

he does a little gasp. his hands on luca's might tighten a little]

For real? You'll watch with me, Valentino-san?

[notaccurate]

Of course! I'm curious about them too.

[sengokus]

Then... if you're sure...

[he'll let go of luca's hands and

go to get the bucket of popcorn he already grabbed. apparently he was really planning on a full movie experience]

I didn't think you'd be the type who'd like - erm. Be curious about love stories.

[notaccurate]

Oh? Why do you think that?

[Mineo's not wrong- Luca does like some love stories, but he's picky about them- but he wants to hear Mineo's reasoning.]

[sengokus]

[he looks thoughtful, like he's trying to explain it]

... I dunno....

You seem pretty successful with charming people already... So it's not like you've got anything to learn from them? If you want a meet-cute, you can just - go out and get one!

[LUCA IS POWERFUL]

[notaccurate]

[MINEO.]

Ah. Well.

Want to know a secret?

[sengokus]

One of yours? Yeah!

[SO FAST?]

I won't tell a soul.

[notaccurate]

The reason I can be so bold here is that I don't expect to see any of you ever again when this is over. I'm nowhere near as flirty back home because there is a good chance I could actually run into those people in my every day life, and that would be awkward.

[Nevermind all the other reasons why Luca's torrid love affairs would be frowned upon.]

So in that regard, I suppose you could say I'm taking the 'indulgence' part to heart.

[sengokus]

Oh.

[ . . . . . . . hmmmm. he tilts his head in confusion]

Good for you, I guess.... But....

[he looks like he's trying to figure out how to phrase this question]

... Can't you just have... one person you like a whole lot, so it's not a problem if you seem them again and again?

[notaccurate]

...Mineo, I like men.

[He says this like it should be obvious why he can't have one person he likes a whole lot who he can see again and again.]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . . he's

waiting for a long time

like he's

expecting a second part!]

..... y-yeah?

I know?

[notaccurate]

And things like 'seeing the same person over and over' are for married couples. Or couples who are pursuing a future marriage.

[sengokus]

[mineo's from 20XX! maybe there's gay marriage in japan by then

but in general]

.... O-Okay?!

[notaccurate]

...and two men can't get married.

[He feels like he's walking a 5-year-old through what should be obvious. But that's because his time is not so progressive.]

So if you like men, you don't see one person again and again. Because it's not proper by society's standards, and you'll get told to 'grow up' and find a wife.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . his brow just furrows, and he tilts his head]

... so what's your wish? To change that? Or - I guess you've got other stuff on your mind if this is normal to you but...

I guess... I'm just thinking it shouldn't have to be... That doesn't sound right to me.

[notaccurate]

What? No, my wish isn't about that at all. My wish is about my job.

[He didn't even think to wish for gay marriage. He's got more important things to do than worry about that.]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ]

A lot of you really put love aside, huh...

[just

as a general comment]

[notaccurate]

[Somehow Luca feels irritated by that comment.]

Love is- it's frivolous! Yes, it would be nice to have, but it's not something to build a life around. You should be building a life around your own personal skills and betterment of who you are, because that stays with you far longer than love does.

Besides that, I don't really want to wish to be attracted to women.
