"ahem, sorry that
took me so long.
i... uh... got
distracted on my
phone."

"don't worry,
i do that all
the time."

"so...."

"uh.... what
else is new?"

"well, i had
a boyfriend, but
we split up."

"....you're...?"

"pansexual."

"ah, i see, i'm
gay."

"thats cool,
hinata-kun."

"heh, well...
usually people
don't tell others
that on the first date..?"

"this is a date?"

"uh - yeah."

"you shouldn't
waste your time
with someone like
me. seriously,
theres better things to
do, like reading
or homework-"

"so you still
think you're trash?"

"its a fact."

"komaeda, i
wouldn't be on a
god damn date if
i thought that."

"but this isn't
a real date."

"alright, fine.
two friends
who haven't
seen each other
in forever just decided
to dress up and have
dinner at a fancy restaurant,
then came out
to each other. no homo."

"well," komaeda
gave a small giggle,
"when you say it like that
it sounds silly."

"because it is,"
hinata's features softened.

"soo, this
really is a date?"

"uh, yeah..."

"well, its...
nice. this is
nice. my ex never
took me on dates. i
bet you'd be an
amazing boyfriend,
hinata-kun."

"please, its hajime."

komaeda smiled giddily.
