... Oh, not your laugh?

[ Oops. Well. Now Omi knows what Gojou thinks of it. ]

The dip is good! I like garlic in general and the anchovies actually give it depth.

[housewolf]

I'm glad.

[He reaches out and holds Gojou's free hand.]

I like hearing your laugh too.

[mukagen]

That's surprising since I sometimes purposely laugh in an annoying way!

[ Hehehe. Gojou lets Omi have his hand as he uses the other to spoon himself porridge. ]

... I still don't understand why you like me.

[housewolf]

You don't?

[There's a specific thing that Gojou said, but it's feels a little awkward to point to that.

Then they'll hold hands like this for the rest of the meal.]

When I feel stressed out or anything like that, you're the first person I want to go to. It's like... when I'm with you, breathing is easier. Especially in a place like this. You're funny and you lighten the mood, and it's something I really appreciate.

I like being with you.

I don't know why you like me back.

[mukagen]

... I think most people would like you? Your type is popular.

[ Tall, handsome, kind... Sure, Gojou is aware of Omi's dark past and regrets, but no one is perfect. He says that, but he knows that isn't the reason. There are some people like Omi out there, even though rare; it's that Gojou's situation changed. He went from no time, no interest, to this.

How does he explain it? ]

It's the same for me. I like spending time with you. [ ... ] You know that I don't have a normal background. It's always something in the backdrop—the most normal thing I do is eat and shop. But when I spend time with people here, especially you... It feels a little less lonely? The weight on my shoulders feels lighter. At times, there's a warmth in my chest that I haven't felt in a long time.

It's selfish, but I can't imagine experiencing this without you.

[housewolf]

[Gojou's life is entirely different from his own mostly normal one. The warmth comment makes him wonder if they both had those years where they felt nothing.

He gently squeezes his hand.]

It's okay if you're selfish. We're both here. And... I can't either. I'm glad we met, even if it's like this.

[mukagen]

[ Gojou squeezes his hand back and laughs a bit. They really found themselves in the worst timeline, but is it so bad? When they found each other. Just a couple of days is nice, isn't it... ]

We are both here. You're right. Selfish doubled.

[ He dips some of the vegetables and holds it out for Omi to eat. ]

Again, let me repeat: your type is popular.

[housewolf]

I already told you I was selfish, right?

[They're making the most of it, aren't they? He doesn't want to say he has regrets when his time comes.

He does eat the vegetable right from Gojou's hand.]

Ah... this is a little embarrassing.

[mukagen]

You did, you did. Sometimes I forget.

[ Nice! Then he holds out the next veggie for Omi, dipped and everything. ]

What part? Being handfed or having to face the truth.

[ THAT OMI IS THE BEST MAN. ]

[housewolf]

The handfed part, mostly.

Face the truth? Isn't this your opinion?

[Gojou, Omi is just out here trying his best.

He will eat the next veggie.]

[mukagen]

Yeah, I'm not stopping.

[ With the handfeeding. And another veggie! ]

... I'm stating a universal truth?

[housewolf]

This counts as spoiling, doesn't it?

[ If this is what he wants to do to relax after wherever they went, Omi is fine with it. ]

As long as you want me, I'm happy. [ He's so sincere when he says it. ]

[mukagen]

It does, so enjoy it while we're here.

[ Gojou has forgotten about his porridge just Omi, though he's squinting at these sweet words again.

He whacks Omi's nose with some celery. ]

Yeah, I'll always want you. Idiot.

[housewolf]

[He scrunches his nose at the hit, and then laughs.]

Good. Same here.

[mukagen]

Would you introduce me to your kids?

[ Okay, celery is dipped and he tries to feed him again. ]

[housewolf]

Of course I would.

Are you going to introduce me to yours?

[This is still embarrassing, but it's nice to be spoiled a little.]

[mukagen]

Yeah, of course! Why wouldn't I?

[ Sure, they bully and think he's annoying, but they would be nice to Omi he's sure. ]

Oh, yeah. Have I showed you the group photo of the second-years and first-years? I might as well introduce you to the older students, too.

[housewolf]

[ How are you begging bullied by your own kids, Gojou? ]

You haven't, and you should.

[mukagen]

[ he snorts and takes out his phone to show him! Here it is. ]

So the ones I'm teaching currently are in the center. Nobara, Yuuji, and Megumi! They're all around the same age. The first two are from the countryside, so they're pretty excited to study in Tokyo.

[housewolf]

Your kids are cute, those are the first years?

[This is a chaotic picture and he loves it. The same sort of feeling as as when Mankai tries to do anything as a big group.]

Do they get along alright?

[mukagen]

They do! They seem annoyed with each other sometimes, but you can tell from their interactions that they're close.

[ People do grow fond in a field where your life is on the line so much, but he doesn't say that. ]

And these are the second years. Toge, Panda, and Maki!

[ Yes.

A panda. ]

[housewolf]

Juza and Banri are like that too.

[Three years can do a lot for a relationship like theirs.]

... Panda? His name is Panda?

[Like this is the real issue he has here, and not the fact that Gojou's student is a panda.]

[mukagen]

Maybe they'd all get along? Nobara is a little feisty though, so I hope your boys can survive that.

[ Hehe..... Oh. ]

Yeah! His name is Panda.

[ Doesn't seem to find it weird. ]

[housewolf]

I think they'll be alright. They have experience with that type.

[Yuki is a rude young man.

If Gojou accepts it as normal, maybe it is! Who knows.]

You work in at an interesting school.

[mukagen]

[ He gives Omi a thumbs up. May their kids actually not get along and they all fight. ]

Sorcerers are really weird, especially to new people. That's normal for them. [ Nodding. ] He's not actually a panda.
