but you're just assuming i'd jump in! well, you're pretty much right. i'd not even take my shoes off just to save you, y'know?! but you've got me thinking maybe we should use some sorta rope, just to be on the safe side.
yeah, i'm liking the idea of the photoshoot! now we've not had one for months, i kinda miss getting all sorts of new clothes and posing for the camera. i know it'd be something new, not many idols can say they've done!
[ Heading off to Venice with Eden sounds wonderful, and with a photoshoot to boot? Even more wonderful! Talking about all about the fun and silly things they might do once they leave has felt comforting. ]
huh, how'd you know that? well, here's hoping nagi-senpai didn't take anything! yeah, i think he's gotta be close, cuz he's already got a buncha cool rocks.
hmm, yeah, i guess it'd be tricky with different dimensions. maybe we'll be the first to figure it out! and that's what i'm thinking. i'm pretty sure space ships have got heating, but you're right about the lonely part.
[ Rip Ibara and CosPro!
The emojis feel as if it's their thing, whatever that means! He's filled with warmth, causing a broad grin to spread across his face. It's the kind of feeling that would make you want to relax on the bed, grinning at your phone (or, in this instance, watch), and scream into a pillow. This is exactly how Jun feels at the moment, as if he were some lovestruck teenager!
Having Hiyori reiterate the same fills him with excitement. He's never, ever felt this way about someone, but here those words are in text! And if Jun's ever having a bad day, he'll open his watch and re-read the shmoopy texts the two have been sending, and all will be right in the world. ]
it's good we want the same thing, ohii-san. we've sorta reached another understanding, haven't we? i mean, about us!
and i'm really happy, ohii-san.
[ He doesn't quite remember how this conversation started, nor does it matter by this point. Something about Monika. But he feels closer than ever to Ohii-san, allowing him into his heart and realising with each passing day how the feeling of having your love returned changes you for the better. ]
["You're pretty much right," Jun says. And that's why he assumes!]
Yep, of course Jun-kun would prioritize me over getting water in his shoes! That's how things are, and that's how they should be!
I know I've already suggested different this, but we can always try on clothes and take some photos here, by the way. It won't be nearly the same as a real photoshoot, but we'll want to do that anyway so we can figure out what to wear for our shuffle performance!
[Whenever... that happens.]
It's just obvious, since that's a historical landmark. It'd be sort of like trying to take ancient artwork home from a museum. Though I wonder if that's what our captors have done, since some of the art pieces in the elevators look eerily similar to famous works. If they're just reproductions, then they're rather skilled ones.
Someone suggested that we could be in space here, for all we know. They've cut off any way to view the outside world, after all. I didn't really buy that, though, since I don't feel the slightest bit weightless here.
Also, the last part might just be a lie. Because every time Jun reaffirms his feelings for him, he does feel like he's floating on up to cloud nine. Like now, for instance.
There's a lot weighing on him in this place. A constant heaviness sitting in his chest, threatening to sink his heart like a stone. But that feeling is gone now. As long as he has Jun-kun...]
I don't feel too heavy anymore, either, though. And that's because of you, I'm sure. And because of that understanding that we reached.
[ Well, he'd be a terrible partner if he left Hiyori to drown! ]
yeah, i'd probably not think about it and dive right in. can't really have anything happen to my partner ~
and i wanna do that, so we just gotta find time! good thing my schedules pretty open these days. but looking for our shuffle outfits would be a good start, but i'd been sorta hoping maybe we could still look for some outfits. y'know, just for us...?
[ But it's just, well, he wants to see Hiyori in cute clothes! And not just cute clothes for their shuffle unit. Also his vague ass answer, wishing he could come right out and say exactly what he wants. ]
how'd i know that? i don't know much about the world, ohii-san, or paintings. but, hmm, you think those're the real deal? maybe next time we're in one, i'll take a better look.
well, it sorta makes sense cuz we've got no fresh air or sunlight. and there's gotta be none of that out in space, just darkness and stars. feeling weightless could be a myth, couldn't it?? maybe that's what they want you to think.
[ We need mythbusters out here!! Wow, Atsushi seems to be filled with knowledge.
Personally, he's not too sure about feeling weightless. Here, in this place, there's often an uneasiness weighing in the air, mostly from the Game 52 nonsense. But the feeling subsides whenever he's near Hiyori, whenever he's talking to Hiyori, and whenever he's thinking about Hiyori.
Needless to say, Jun's in Deep.
And deeper in, whenever Hiyori's transparent with him, talking about their feelings, his heart flips again at the green heart. ]
you were feeling heavy, ohii-san? if you're ever feeling heavy again, just let me know! cuz i'd do anything to take away the feeling, y'know? ♪ i'm gonna make sure there's never any confusion between us again.
I've trained you well, I see~ 🏊 I still don't intend to fall in, but I'm sure your fans would be impressed if they saw you dive heroically to my rescue. Perhaps you'll get to do a similar scene in a drama someday.
[Though they'd probably just use a stunt double.]
Just for us, hmm?
[He's not sure whether Jun is talking about new stage costumes, or about their plans to try on cute dresses at some point, or what. But either way:]
That sounds wonderful to me! You already know this, but I love shopping, so I don't mind if we go on multiple trips. One trip for shuffle unit costumes, one trip for cute outfits, and a third trip for more matching clothes! 👯🛍️
[They'll be shopping for matching outfits for Weiss's party next month, anyway. And he and Weiss will also be looking at shuffle costumes.]
Perhaps we can investigate the brushstrokes with a magnifying glass. I'm sort of like a detective here, so it's probably time I got one of those. I do try to avoid riding the elevators with others, since there are those weird talking portraits in there, but I suppose it's fine if it's just with Jun-kun.
I don't think the laws of gravity are a myth... But this place seems to run on magic, so anything is possible, I guess. For example
[He pauses.
Does he really want to say that? But they've already said so much, Jun included. So it should be fine.]
I sometimes feel like I'm floating in zero gravity when I'm talking to Jun-kun!
Or when you touch me.
Anyway, talk to you later! 💚
[And then he tabs out of the conversation before he can see Jun's reply, flopping his head down on his pillow again.
... he'll check again in a minute. Or a few minutes. But for now, he'll just lie down and wait for his heart to return to normal, a smile still lingering on his lips after all the sweet things Jun said to him.]
[ Hiyori's texts are a joy to read, bringing a smile to his face. Despite the risks, he'd rather insist on performing all his own stunts, refusing to use a stunt double. However, the offer still stands - where he would happily jump in to save Hiyori.
Honestly, most of the texts read innocuous enough, with Jun suspecting nothing until reaching the last line.
Hiyori feels like he's floating in zero gravity, not only when they talk, but also when he touches him.
The text has his cheeks flushing, re-reading the words over and over for a good couple of minutes before finding a proper response. Also with a few backspaces, the '...' lingering for another couple of minutes as he's crafting his response. ]
hey, you can't go running off after telling me that, y'know?
cuz i'm telling you right now i feel the same way! when you touch me, it's overwhelming, like you've only got eyes for me. but sometimes my heart pounds hard i seriously think it's gonna burst outta my chest.
and on top of that, you're always in my head! so i just wanna let you know you're someone i think about. a lot.
so whenever you read my text, just know it's sorta embarrassing admitting how you're always there. always on my mind and just there, right where you belong. 💚💙
[ He'll also tab out for the time being, needing to calm his racing heart. There are plenty more words he could sum up, how he feels most of the time and more! But a point has been made, Hiyori does occupy his mind (and heart) nearly all the time. ]
[He doesn't see the "..." hovering. He's not looking at his watch, after all! He said something a bit embarrassing, and then he scrammed.
He can't resist checking after a few minutes, though. And when he does check, it's another shot straight to the heart. More sweet, passionate words, typed just for him, and to top it all off, Jun saw right through him. "Like you've only got eyes for me," Jun said. And it's true, he does.
"That's because I do have eyes only for you," he considers writing. But he stops himself. He's shared enough of his heart today. Almost his entire heart. He's exhausted! Though in a good way, akin to the tired exhilaration he feels after giving it his all onstage.
He goes back to curling up in bed. In the end he doesn't send anything, but that's fine. He and Jun are never apart for long, and when they see each other for dinner later. There are no more mushy heart-to-hearts, at least not for now, but when he smiles at Jun across the table, there's something soft and knowing in his eyes. And he thinks he can see his own feelings reflected back.
In other words: a new lovey-dovey saga in his life has begun. Golden Peacock doujin authors, get your pens ready...!]
