You worked up your courage and asked someone out on a date! Good job!





Now you have to hope the producers are kind re: where they send you.

[ Well, if that's what she's convinced of, he's not sure what else he can do to push her... he can see where she's coming from, and that's the important thing. Even if he wouldn't quite deal with it like this. ]

"Someone he likes already?"

[ That seems to be the next important thing to hone in on, because he can't help but try to sus out who she's talking about among the contestants. It doesn't even occur to him that she might be talking about things beyond the scope of this reality TV stint; Will had told Josuke himself it wasn't something he much thought about. ]

What do you mean by that?

He's got a guy back home he's definitely head over heels for but because they're childhood friends I'm pretty sure it doesn't clock. And also because Will-kun's a total idiot.

[ hello ]

He's the person that Will-kun's doing all this for too, and when he talks about the guy it's... really obvious, okay? As obvious as when I talk about Will-kun.

[ like

how is she supposed to beat a prince-- ]

[ He won't deny that's a possibility. Maybe Will just hasn't realized his feelings? But also... ]

Do you think he'd be willing to pretend to be in a relationship with someone else if his feelings about his friend were that serious, though? That seems like a stretch.

[ If he was close enough with one of his friends like that, even if he didn't realize it was romantic, he doesn't think cozying up to someone else would feel good. ]

I've known the guy, what. A week and then some?

[ ... ]

Yeah, there's no way he'd do something like that. [ no more murdering the cheese and grapes. ] But again it's for the sake of his friend, so... maybe he can put up with it.

[ ... not that... he seems like he puts up with it, or her, the way he lights up the moment he sees her and the sweetness of their nightly ritual...

He's doing a bad job of playing pretend though. It almost feels like he really likes me. Like, more than a friend. He doesn't make goodnight kisses feel like a chore at all.
