But shouldn't one put effort in getting along with their peers? I am well aware that I don't have the same friendly personality the likes of which Yuta-kun or Harukawa-kun can employ so naturally. That's why I thought learning about something that they enjoy and being able to play it with them would be my own way of conveying that I value our friendship... Is that not how it goes?
And yet if I am terrible at the game, I'm afraid they would just find my company bothersome. I also... do not wish to embarrass myself in front of my friends.
[ He'll call it his 'pride as a knight' or something equally grand, but really it's just a normal teenager's fear of being rejected by his peers. At the mention of RPGs though, he does smile a bit. ]
It is true that I do like those kind of games much better. I enjoy reading already, so they almost feel like an extension of that. But that's not really something you play with others, is it?
[ Jun's words bring a sense of comfort at least, and Tsukasa does find himself wishing things were that easy. That he can just choose not to worry. But the thought of potentially alienating himself from his friends if he doesn't do things like this does continue to nag at him. ]
And is that so? You seem to know quite a lot, so I assumed you had been playing them for long. Were you also not allowed to play them because you had to focus on your studies?
[ That's how it is for him, at least. Also, he'll huff his cheeks just a bit at being nudged at. It's nothing bad at all, just that he feels like he's being treated like a kid and he can't help but further be embarrassed about it. ]
