[ ...he feels more and more pathetic every time he gets to say this. ]
I've never been good at making friends—so I never had a lot of them. Whatever ones I did have were usually just White's. It's different here, though. [ He wishes he had something other than the hem of his sweater to play with, but he doesn't. ] And... Yosuke's probably one of my best? That feels weird to say, because it's not like we've known each other that long, but I've told him things I haven't told anyone else.
[ Like—almost everything. And his name. And— ]
He's easy to talk to like that. [ A smile. ] And... I don't want to mess that up. Even if he was interested in guys—and he might be, or he might just be interested in the one guy he's besties with back in his world that's so incredible and wonderful—that doesn't mean he's going to be interested in me.
[ There. He said it. That's the portion he hasn't said to anyone else. ]
I like being his friend, Miss Sigrun. I'm happy being his friend. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be over the moon if it was anything more, but I don't want it to be anything less, so what we have now is fine. [ ...god, that's actually kind of painful to say? This is so bad for him. ]
