Thanatos and Shouko // Private Thread for the Win

[Thanatos is outside Shouko's room at the dorms. He simply stands there for a moment before he takes a deep breath and finally knocks.] Hey, Shouko? It's me - Thanatos!

All right, I wouldn't mind learning how! I'm sure Orpheus would be very happy if I made him pudding this delicious.

[ She blinks, and chuckles. ]

You care about him a lot.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... Orpheus? Yeah, I do. He's my Assistant.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

It's rare to find a boss who cares for their assistants like you do.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Well, we were friends before I was ever his boss.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

Ah, that makes sense.

He isn't a shadow, right?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

That's right. He's the human who I was sealed inside for ten years.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

... Ahh...

Then you must understand each other really well, I take it?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we do. I don't know what I'd do without Orpheus at my side.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

[ A small laugh. ]

You know, it's easy to get the wrong idea seeing how devoted you two are to each other.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

W-what? Oh, not you as well... [Blushes into his pudding as he takes another spoonful.]

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

[ She notices the blush and giggles. ]

So it's not just me, huh? Surely there can't be smoke without fire.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Chomps on his spoon as the blush spreads.] H-Hey! I like girls. Orpheus even has a girlfriend back at home!

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

Doesn't mean you can't like guys as well!

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

O-Orpheus is different! That's all.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

So not all guys, just Orpheus?

[ Totally just teasing now. She's getting a kick out of this. ]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Just continues to blush.] I-I already told you. It's not like that.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

[ She takes a spoonful of pudding, still grinning. ]

I'm just teasing. But you guys sound like you would make a cute pair nonetheless.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

C-cute? We're not cute!

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

Are too.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Are not!

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

Your reaction makes it even cuter.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

That's not true! I'm not cute at all. Handsome, sure - Not cute.

[totsuka.livejournal.com]

I think you're both.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

How can I be both?
