[Hey look, he's making eye contact! They're both confused.]

... reciprocating?

[There is a long, awkward moment where some gears might be turning in that head of his... but ah. He's not into guys, so like. This is irrelevant. Clearly.

...

but he can't not ask. He's blurting it out before he can stop himself.]

How? I'm not... I mean, you're obviously interested in Elsword, so that doesn't make any sense. We barely have anything in common.

[add you do realise wolfwood is your exact personality copy and he's into men like you. right.]

Okay, first of all... yes, [no denying that one,] but if you think I wouldn't kiss every adult man in our party on the mouth, you're wrong.

[Just saying. Add have you realised yet you're part of a polycule. Like do you know?]

I don't think it's about having anything in common, though. Haha... the contrast is nice, isn't it? It keeps things interesting. I like it when we mess with each other, and I think your intelligence about stuff I don't get is attractive. Your babbly little tangents are cute~. You're overprotective, which is charming, and... don't take this the wrong way, but you're fucking weird. I like it.

[His tail wags.]

Besides, you're physically attractive too. It's hard not to like you.

[yeah but he has Wolfwood??? why would he need Add if they're the same

He's going through a whirlwind of emotions here, briefly disappointed(???) when Ain says he'd kiss any of the guys back home only to follow that up with calling Add smart, attractive, charming...]

What do you mean weird?! Like you're one to talk! [this is the part he decides to focus on, face heating up (from the ANGER)] Always asking stupid questions and brushing people off with that annoying laugh, just because you act bullshit-nice doesn't mean you're better than me! I'm not weird!!

And I'm not overprotective, either, I'm a normal amount of protective for someone who's on my fucking team! I'd do the same for any of those morons!

You literally told me you were going to fight God to keep me safe once.

[Maybe that's not overprotective but also?? Real romantic of you bestie.

Ain sighs, though, leaning forward and propping his chin in his palms and his elbows against his knees. The warm smile on his face may or may not go completely missed if Add isn't paying attention here.]

I didn't say I wasn't weird. I know you've gone partially deaf from listening to music too loud, but try to make your eardrums work just this once, okay~? I don't want you to miss the part where I tell you that I want to take you to dinner and kiss you under the moonlight.

Haha, but I know you're heterosexual or whatever, so don't feel pressured~. I just wanted to get that off my chest.

Th-that's— it's not like you'd really— y-you have four boyfriends already! Isn't that enough for one person?!

[Meanwhile throughout all of this, Dynamo is vibrating in a tight formation behind his back... Add also wishes he had someone to hide behind right now. He is floundering. This was already a lot to process but now Ain is looking at him like that and suddenly he's struggling to string words together, what the fuck is going ON]

I've managed so far. I don't even have the most of anybody here, since you don't want to be the fifth~.

[Technically Wolfwood has him beat via whatever the fuck is going on with him and Flamebringer.]

R-right... yeah.

[That takes some of the wind from his sails, reeling his confused emotions back in. He'd only be fifth place anyway, so... so it's fine. Not that it wouldn't be fine, because he was never interested from the start. Yeah.

Stop thinking about all the weird stuff that doesn't matter. He clears his throat, refocusing.]

We can still hang out, or whatever. You probably still wanna go on a date with that other guy, but maybe... we could do something else?

We can do something else. I've mostly been into movies lately, and I'd still like you and Nikolaus to come see that film with me. That obviously won't be a date if you're there, if that makes you feel better?

[Add asked him to stop flirting, so! He will not. He will be good and respectful of boundaries.]

Haha, let me think... There's a nightclub, a mall, a bookstore... There's an abandoned subway station. We could get hot pot! It's been a long time since we've gotten to do stupid things and not have to worry too much about fighting the next day. We'll have to make the most of it.

[He... considers this. Because he did kind of want to go to another movie, but he doesn't wanna deal with Wolfwood and if they're on a date then wouldn't that just make him an awkward third wheel? But on the other hand, that asshole will probably talk shit about him even more if he turns this down.

This is... a test. He cannot lose here.]

Fine. I'll be there. [The gravely serious tone is probably confusing but like. don't worry about it. They are going to have totally normal friend-outing and it will NOT be weird or awkward and he won't even cry ONCE.] Any time works for me, so just tell me when we're meeting and I'll make the necessary arrangements.

[This is not a test, Ain wants to hang out with two of his favourite people, please calm down—]

Okay. I'll coordinate. [After he asked y'all to coordinate on the phones smhhh.] Just promise to be at least a little nice to Nikolaus? He said you guys had fought. I'll tell him to be nice to you too, for the second time.

[Do not kill each other :) Thanks]

[no it's a test and he's going to BEAT WOLFWOOD at it]

He's the one who started it, but yeah, sure.
