[huaaaaagh]

Yeah, sounds like there was a serious need to get away. I can't think of anyone who would want to stay in a situation like that.

[experiencepoints]

Yeah. It... wasn't the best situation.

[let's just gloss over all the other details.]

[huaaaaagh]

[Yeah, he's fine with that.]

So tell me about Yura, then. What was it like living with her?

[experiencepoints]

[... well, she's immediately turning very, very red.]

I, um. I don't remember much about that yet. Just that it was a lot nicer?

i should've saved that icon for this tag clearly

[huaaaaagh]

[Oh, right, her memories are kinda shaky.

Waaaait-]

From the look on your face, you must remember a few things.

[experiencepoints]

[And now her voice is very squeaky and nervous.]

What is that look on your face for.

[huaaaaagh]

[Wow she's really terrible at this.

Awesome.]

Hey, I'm just asking questions. Are you feeling okay?

[experiencepoints]

[KIRITO YOU ARE THE WORST.]

Perfectly fine.

[huaaaaagh]

[LOOK YOU'RE FEEDING THE TROLL]

Are you sure? Your face is all red.

[experiencepoints]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[AS SOON AS SHE CATCHES ON, YOU ARE SO DEAD, KIRITO]

[huaaaaagh]

You should drink your tea, it might help you cool down a little.

[experiencepoints]

[fun trivia: she got this kind of tea because it was yura's favorite and she's a nostalgic nerd who misses her.

which means, uh. this is the opposite effect of taking her mind off of yura things.]

It's fine. I'm fine. You're imagining things.

[huaaaaagh]

If you say so.

[Sipping his tea. Just. Sipping away. One, two, three...]

You and Yura had a thing, then?

[experiencepoints]

What- No!

... I mean, sort of, we would have if- Anyway, it doesn't matter!

[huaaaaagh]

Why wouldn't it matter?

[Feelings are important!! He should know, he's the worst at them. He's not even trolling at this moment. Briefly.]

[experiencepoints]

Because no matter how I feel about her, she isn't here. And I'm not likely to see her again any time soon.

[huaaaaagh]

Mm...

[Kirito ponders that for all of two seconds before shaking his head.]

No, it still matters. When someone's that important, how you feel will always matter.

[He says it like it's an unshakeable fact, completely serious.]

[experiencepoints]

[She shrugs.]

It doesn't matter. I'm in love with her, but back at home, I was too fucked up by everything to ever let it go anywhere past friends with benefits, and now she's gone and the Atroma are keeping me from the only way to bring her back.

[HOPE YOU DON'T MIND THAT CASUAL TMI BOMB IN THERE]

[huaaaaagh]

[Oof, getting heavy again.

Let's fix that.]

Friends... with benefits?

[Sheltered nerd child! Sorry, Night.]

[experiencepoints]

Yes. That is what I said.

[huaaaaagh]

[????]

I don't know what that means.

[experiencepoints]

...

You don't.

[huaaaaagh]

Obviously, since I asked.

[LOOK HE WAS LOCKED OUT OF THE INTERNET AT AGE 14 HE COULDN'T GOOGLE THIS SHIT]

[experiencepoints]

[OH MY GOD WHY THIS

she just. puts her face in her hands.]

It means 'friends who sometimes have sex without any deeper relationship'.

[huaaaaagh]

[...........

WOW PEOPLE DO THAT REALLY]

I... I see... benefits...
