[ It's a little funny. Tiny lil Haru-chan bringing the hammer down on her overgrown weed of a leader and then stuttering apologies all animu style is really cute to think about even if it didn't happen that way. Ren smiles a teeny tiny smile. ]

Yeah real bad. My first kiss ended in a juice box getting dumped on my head so it was only uphill from there, and now the fall.

[ he hears the words and yeah it makes a lot of sense, what Ryuji's saying. A very unique kind of pressure cooker that they're all sitting in until they're presumably all done and ready to... be eaten..? Fuck. Look out at the stars on the observation deck and it looks like salt, right? Shit were they gonna be eaten?

Ren would almost rather that than continue with this conversation. God or a space alien or a supernova just take him now and he'll owe you big. How could you miss this giant blinking fucking neon sign above his head, Ryuji. How could you do him like this.

He's just. just. Not gonna look. Ren is barely conscious and too awake at the same time and of course it's going to come out in the most dramatic way possible cuz he's Joker. It simply remains to be seen what the reaction will be and Ren isn't keen on lifting his head right about now. ]

I love you, you moron.

[ That's "aishiteru" not "daisuki" this time. Do Ren a favor and space his Jdrama ass on your way out the door, gotta go fast to outrun them feelings. ]

Don't feel obligated to anything. 'Mjust messed up and emotional over this shitty week and once it's over y'can go back to not knowing anything. Pretend you never heard it.

Just, you know. I didn't want you thinking I made you cry into your ramen cuz I hate you. Cuz I don't.
