...[Can he really say anything when Tamamo keeps calling him Master? But also, hm.]
How do you even really explain dating to anybody. [A two-handed shrug.] That line between love, hate, and friendship is already really thin. Is it surprising if those things end up blending together?
[Literally no one said anything about hate, Junpei.]
[There's a low laugh.] Yeah. Usually you're right.
You can like your really good friends, and you can really like your really good friends. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but what makes you sure it's that kind of like?
[ There's a frown at the word usually ] Are you talking from experience?
[ Also he'll fidget a little at the next question. ]
Are you really going to make me say it? [ He doesn't even wait for answer for that... ] My heart beats faster whenever I see him smile. I also forget how to even talk at times when we spend time together.
[There's a warning frown which says he's not going to talk about it, but it doesn't last long before Prompto keeps going.
...it's so, so stupid it's cute. And embarrassing. And kind of something he's all-too-familiar with.]
Careful. You practically have hearts in your eyes. [Dunking on Prompto is how he gets through the day.] ...for some people, it's instant like that. But it doesn't hurt to ask.
[He's not in the mood to talk about his fianceé right now, it's fine. He loves her, but he hates some things. It's a confusing time.]
You kind of are. [Gently amused.] I've heard it helps to say it out loud until it sounds right, but you might not always remember the right words at the time.
Oh that's a good idea! [ Wait ] Knowing my luck, Higekiri would walk in and know what I was doing. Maybe I could try writing it down- wait. That won't work since there aren't a lot of paper options or anything to write with.
[Let Prompto be at peace. He frowns in thought though because yeah that's definitely a possibility.]
I have some leftover sticky notes? And a pencil. There's also probably some other stuff you can find around here to write on. Paper's not the only available surface.

So what is it that you do want to do? [Yeah. He's following this train.]
no subject
Be equals I guess?

...maybe. Maybe eventually I'd like to date him.
no subject
...you know that's not a bad thing, don't you? Sometimes it's a little better to date your friends than anybody else.
no subject
[ It's been a pretty important friendship to him... ]
He's also pretty new to all of this. When I tried explaining dating to him before he thought maybe he was dating his own brother and then his Master.

no subject
Uh. I don't think hate usually goes in there. [ Are you okay Junpei? Is there someone you have a love hare friend relationship with? ]
The rest of it is true. I mean, he was a really good friend first before...
[ Before he realized he was full on in falling hard and fast ]

Hey. I'm not in it that deep... I think.
[ He sounds unsure there. Rubbing the back of his neck as he looks away. ]
Yeah... that's true. I just need to figure out what to even say.

[ You know there's more doors people shouldn't go in like the freezer ]
The pencil would definitely be good. Oh I know! I can use the napkins from the cafeteria.
no subject
Napkins work, but be careful they don't rip. Or, like, get wet. [A gesture around them.]
no subject
I can take it back to my room and work on it there.
