hi atsushi

[thesettingsun]

[Everyone's emotions have been a little out of whack this month. Their personalities have more resembled their original selves. Sometimes that's not a huge change, and sometimes...

Shuji saw Atsushi earlier. He didn't recognize the guy he was with, but he recognized that he was flirting. And he recognized that Atsushi was smiling and acting cute. He was smiling back.

When he gets to talk to Atsushi later that day-]

Who was it you were talking to earlier?

[-he doesn't even give him a proper hello.]

[beneathmoonlight]

[Unfortunately Atsushi is absolutely clueless when it comes to the advances of others, so in his eyes the person he’d been talking to had been nothing more than a friendly guy asking about his day and complimenting his outfit.

Which is why he’s terribly confused when Shuji confronts him about it.]

Oh! He’s a regular at the bakery! He tends to come in before his classes a few days a week.

[A nervous laugh.]

Why do you ask?

[thesettingsun]

He was flirting with you.

[Atsushi is clueless, so Shuji has to be blunt about it.]

Do you like him?

[beneathmoonlight]

W-what? Flirting? I don’t...

[Shuji looks scary...?!]

Of course not! You’re my boyfriend, Shuji-kun! I wouldn’t flirt with anyone else!

[thesettingsun]

Then you should tell him to stop.

[If Atsushi wouldn't flirt with anyone else, then why was he encouraging this guy like that?]

[beneathmoonlight]

Shuji-kun...I’m sorry.

[He really is sorry, even if he’d been clueless at the time.]

I didn’t mean to...

[thesettingsun]

I believe you. [Of course Atsushi could never do that to him.] Sorry, I didn't mean to get mad at you.

What's his name?

[beneathmoonlight]

[Atsushi frowns. Should he really say? But this is Shuji, so he can trust him, right?]

His name is Tanizaki-san...

[thesettingsun]

Alright. I'll talk to him so you don't have to.

[Atsushi is bad at confrontations, so it's a better idea for Shuji to speak to him himself, right? Right.]

[beneathmoonlight]

Wait!! What are you going to say?? Or do??

[thesettingsun]

I'm just going to tell him that you're taken and he shouldn't get his hopes up. Is that okay? It's true, right?

[So there shouldn't be an issue with saying so...]

[beneathmoonlight]

Yes, it’s true, but...

[HE LOOKS WORRIED.]

Shuji-kun...you’re not acting like yourself. Is everything all right?

[thesettingsun]

I'm fine, really. I'm sorry - I just overreacted.

[Of course Atsushi wouldn't cheat on him. There's no reason to get jealous.]
