[ Unfortunately Ryuki does not feel either of these things. Sorry, his Date infatuation is actually terminal. His affection is genuine and completely unironic. ]
[ To be fair he is not reciprocating the perfect taste due to reasons so in that sense he still has garbage taste. Also listen Date is genuinely nice to him...
Anyway it's kind of weird. Nobody ever usually hangs around this close to him -- he is immensely lacking in departments where good physical contact is concerned, the closest since his brother being whenever Date would sling an arm over him or something like that. He remains still. ]
I think I remember you saying something about hating me...
[ Somehow despite his ultra-low self-confidence and his feeling like a burden on everyone around him at all hours, Tama telling him she hates him is the one thing he never actually took personally. Even if he knows he probably has shit sense of timing, even if he knows he's kind of the worst at emotional talk. ]
It’s because you’re stubborn, you won’t accept help without someone browbeating you into it or because you have no other option, you can’t handle my sex jokes and you’re human.
[ all true crimes against her and humanity. ]
But you’re my partner. And I will always protect you.
Even if this place is trying to stop me. [ his eye is malfunctioning and he flippin’ died. she’s not doing great here. ]
[ God forbid whoever programmed Tama or let her evolve in a way that made her so horny (it's Boss and Date's fault, and Pewter would not have helped, the adults on this team suck). ]
Thanks, Tama.
I know you're always doing a lot for me.
[ Too much, even, but he can't find it in himself to tell Tama to let him go. He needs her. ]
[ something something dick joke in the middle of this serious thread. ]
Any time, Ryuki.
[ it’s what she’s meant to do. and frankly, what she wants to do. she’s developed enough to know what she does and doesn’t want to do. she doesn’t let go of him but she does shift a little so she can give him a thoughtful look. does he actually look a bit more relaxed now? even just a little? ]
