[irritated]

were you possessed by a video game villain or something?

[arf]

A demon lord jiangshi!! I think!
I told you, I don't remember anything. One minute Ban-chan was coming at me with a talisman we found, the next Mucchan was there explaining and Sakyo-nii was chasing me around.

[irritated]

yeah you did but it sounds less like a demon and more like a video game villain. what with the puny human stuff.

but you got me sold. you're not a normal person if you can apparently be possessed by anything.

[arf]

Only because Ban-chan stuck a mysterious talisman on me, it's not like I'm running around trying to hunt ghosts!
I bet you're not normal either though!

[irritated]

i don't run into talismans. closest thing is the black magic club at our school.

[That's not normal, Hikaru.]

[arf]

Normal schools don't have a black magic club or a host club.

[irritated]

yeah the host club is pretty new. but that's because tono is weird. he's not normal.

and maybe the black magic club isn't as normal either but that's still not me.

[arf]

You joined the host club, though. It's like me joining the theater. You wanted more than your day-to-day.

We just ended up with other planets that went way past what we asked for!!

[irritated]

wow you nailed it in one.

[He's kind of impressed even though it was more like they really just wanted people to be able to hang out with but it's still the same sentiment.]

this whole thing is weird but i guess it could be worse. i met you.

[arf]

[ He takes a few moments just to stare and blush at his phone screen. ]

[irritated]

if this is the same taichi-senpai that i met!!

[Maybe he was too much back there.

Even though he started this conversation with saying he had deepthroated a hot dog.]

[arf]

It's your Taichi-senpai!!!

[irritated]

prove it

[arf]

Observe!

[ Give him a minute, then Hikaru will receive a video of Taichi deep throating a hot dog. Congratulations. ]

[irritated]

[And now Hikaru needs about thirty minutes because what. It isn't sexy by any means but Hikaru also can't stop watching.

And thinking.

And can Taichi just...deepthroat anything...?

Nope. He can't. He really can't right now. Not with this video, not with this knowledge, and not with whatever the hell his body is doing right now.]

i don't know what to say but seriously don't let anybody else see that.

[arf]

[ Taichi's not sure exactly what happened but he can find something to do for 30 minutes he guesses. ]

You believe it's me now right!?

[irritated]

[Another ten minutes because he needs to go take care of this problem.]

yes. i know for a fact that only you would ever send that to somebody as proof.

[arf]

Are you busy? I can text you later.

[ He disappeared for so long?? And then again?? He must be super busy. ]

1/2

[irritated]

I'M NOT BUSY

[irritated]

[Wait. Play it cool. Don't freak out.]

i'm just. thinking.

[That was terrible.]

about stuff.

[arf]

What stuff? Do you wanna call? I'll listen if you want to think outloud.

[irritated]

flower arranging. i thought up something for a shoketai style but i don't have the right vase.

[He just went with the first thing he could think up that he was pretty sure Taichi wouldn't know about.]

[arf]

Shoketai?

[irritated]

it's like rikka style sort of but the old bat would probably lose it wherever i was if i didn't do a style she approved of even if i'm in a different world.

maybe i should just to see if she does.

anyway it's a lot to think about so you see!!

[and it wasn't like he was busy because of other reasons. nope.]

[arf]

[ ...Either Taichi did something wrong or Hikaru is way more into flowers than he knew. He wasn't busy just a minute ago?! ]

OK! I'm gonna come by with brunch tomorrow, good night! ♡

[ He would come by with breakfast but he knows Hikaru isn't a morning person so he will wait until at least 10:30 which is brunch time. ]
