You know, in my world, they don't ever talk about love when it comes to two men. Anything between men is purely physical. You can go have fun at a club or in a hotel room so long as you're being discreet, but you're expected to marry a woman and have a family as well. As long as you present the front of being an upstanding gentleman, you can keep those skeletons in your closet.

[They sure are talking about feelings now. He pulls back and takes a seat next to Luca. Sounds like this is going to take a little while.]

That's the situation you were in at home, right?

[notaccurate]

[I totally forgot a massage was going on here. Whoops.]

It is, yes.

...my apologies. I asked you here, and now I'm dumping all of this on you.

[housewolf]

[Sometimes... you just need to deal with feelings.]

There's not much I can help with, when it comes to this kind of thing. But I can always listen.

[notaccurate]

You are quite good at that, yes. But sometimes I think my thoughts are better off staying in my head. Thoughts unspoken can't become reality, right?

[If he doesn't admit to growing a feeling, then it won't be real.]

[housewolf]

What? I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.

[notaccurate]

No? What about "Ignore it and you will eventually forget about it"?

[housewolf]

I don't forget about things.

[notaccurate]

But have you ever tried to?

[housewolf]

Hmm... I haven't. It's not a skill I've picked up.

[notaccurate]

Well I suggest you do, it's very handy in avoiding the unfortunate things in life.

[Like growing a feeling for someone.]

[housewolf]

I'll take life- the afterlife, as it comes.

[notaccurate]

You would just take it? That easily?

[housewolf]

Things happen. If I don't say what I think or what I feel, then it's just another regret to add to the pile.

I'm just not in the business of collecting more of those.

[notaccurate]

[Regrets]

Ah? How is that working for you so far?

[housewolf]

I spent my last week on the ship with Satoru, so...

[Very Well.]

1/2

[notaccurate]

[Oh.

For a moment there, an unusual expression comes across Luca's face. It's one he rarely shows here, despite how varied his emotions can be.

It's guilt. Guilt, regret, a wish to have acted differently.]

2/2

[notaccurate]

[But the slip in his mask there is only for a second, and he's covered it up with a smile again.]

It must have been a good week indeed, for you to smile like that.

[housewolf]

[Omi is defined by his regrets and guilt. They're things that weigh heavy on his shoulders, but they're the reason he's more willing to put himself out there.

Luca's lucky. Omi manages to miss the expression.]

It really was.

[notaccurate]

He must be really special to you.

[Which is the reason why Luca's not going to swerve to banging this time. Not after this talk.

Their 100% bang rate, ruined.]

Well! I must thank you for stopping by for a visit. My shoulders feel much better now.

[housewolf]

[Omi usually sounds gentle, but there's something a little more vulnerable about this.] Yeah. He is.

[RIP to their bang rate, it was great while it lasted.]

Anyway, let me know if you need anything else.

[notaccurate]

[They will have to bang twice in a future thread to make up for it.]

I will. And you do the same, alright?

[housewolf]

I will.
