[ rohan-sensei...

but, at those words, vane can only laugh uneasily. because maybe it's exactly that childishness that he was hinting to. not that he says it aloud. instead he works on diffusing the situation. ] Aw, don't be like that, Ro! Besides, even the children know there's no "take backs"!

More importantly! Did you get any good ideas from it?

[ this is why rohankun doesn't deserve vanekun ....... ]

Yes. I've thought up a thrilling story about a young boy with skin that resembles fried chicken, and it's going to be about the struggles he faces growing up as an outcast in his society.

[ he's ... joking ... ]

[ huh...

sounds pretty horrific, honestly?!? ] R-really? But while that sounds scary, I feel pretty bad for the little guy, you know? He didn't ask for fried chicken skin. Then again, no one asked for... [ fried chicken ice cream either...

and he's not even saying this out of displeasure or because he dislikes it (he's genuinely okay with it, after all).

but, he catches himself: ] A-ah, nothing. Either way, is it supposed to be like an emotional piece?

[ rohan you know these jokes never work out!!! ]

Of course. Feeling ostracized by the rest of the world is something numerous people can relate to, no matter how they look like. Not myself, of course, because I don't care what anyone thinks [ yeah somehow the actual weird guy can't relate!!! ], but I don't think there's anyone else who can safely say they've never felt that way at least once. The emotions involved will surely resound with many.

[

Then, after he takes a long sip of the tea and sets the cup down on the saucer: ] Also, I'm just kidding.

[ Now he doesn't mind writing that story though ... ]

[ hm....

vane listens to that first part a little amazed, if just for the fact that it's coming from the guy who just licked the ice cream he gave him. but vane decisively opts on ... letting it go with a little hint of a smile tugging at his lips. probably enough of a telltale sign in and of itself. but, as emotional as this all gets and as much as he believes in rohan...

and starts responding while the other man is mid-sip: ] When you put it like that...

I think it could turn out to be a pretty good story. Especially for younge—

[ why are you this way. ]

Eh!!? Tell me that earlier, will you. I totally believed it...

It isn't my fault you're gullible.

[ what the heck?? rohan actually looks like he's genuinely smiling

he's just amused that vane took that so seriously. ]

That doesn't make it good to trick your eld... [ despite the obvious abashment he feels over buying into rohan's lies ....

when he sees rohan smile, he supposes he can't really get mad at that. hence, he just gives a small smile of his own. ] Oh, well. [ he gives a playful shrug. ] Can't argue with a smile. [ which he thinks rohan could afford to do more often...

now that he thinks about it, he hasn't seen the guy smiling a whole lot. ]

[ That smile ... barely lasts, disappearing after he takes another sip of the tea, but at least Rohan looks far more peaceful than he did earlier on. ]

Well, I only came over to give you the ice-cream. I've got no other business at the moment.

[ Once he's done with the tea, Rohan starts to gather his things. ] I'll be taking my leave. Thank you for the tea, Vane.

[ ... ] It was quite good.

[ it's a little regrettable that it's so short-lived, but he supposed that it was more than enough.

besides, that just meant he had to work harder to see it more often, right? or something like that, but vane supposed natural is best. regardless, he suddenly gets up— ] Eh? You're leaving already? [ misses homie... ]

But, lemme walk you to the door. [ he starts leading rohan back out.

but, he suddenly stops mid-way as he hears rohan's next set of words. "it was quite good." ah....

a compliment. ]

[ o w o ] Aw!, I'm glad you thought so! Come over anytime to get a cup, alright?!

[ Why is he so happy about this? It was barely a compliment, and yet Vane looks so over the moon. He's such an oddity. Rohan just stares at him like he doesn't know what to make out of it or how to react. ]

I will ... think about it. Goodbye, Vane.

[ what the fuck

bye

okay, end of this cursed thread. ]
