[Hikaru's practically pouting when he faces Taichi and he does listen although he's still just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of everything going on. And when it comes to his own personality and how he behaves...Hikaru's not so confident about that.] Says the guy I told aliens made me gay. [It says a lot they can joke about this now.

He leans in for a moment, just wanting to be close to Taichi, to have that contact so he can try to level himself and calm down. Taichi is no Kaoru, nobody can ever quite be Kaoru, but it doesn't mean Taichi isn't important. It doesn't mean Taichi doesn't help him.

But then he groans and sits up, ready to get into the drama of it all. He's still sad and stressed, wishing it was Kaoru he was telling this but he has to let it out.]

How the hell do you even know about Aurora-chan's betrothed? Whatever, she doesn't seem so serious about him from what she tells me. She doesn't even know the guy. But basically, Zuko has been into her for ages. I was trying to get him to ask her out but he's so slow about it. She was dropping all of these hints but he wasn't taking them. The guy doesn't do "hints". Zuko's into Gokudera, too. He was into him back in Lunatia which was a nightmare and this is a different Gokudera but I guess he's into this Gokudera, too.
