What happened here!

I want to say I did not come into this game intending to ship, but somehow, through a series of conicidences, I did???

W0: Omi liked Gojou in a friendly type of way here. He's got a personality that Omi generally enjoys (funny, lightens the mood easily and on purpose). Also he let Omi cook for him, which was also very nice. Listen, you show up to a mysterious base, you find a kitchen, and sometimes one of your favorite stress relieving tools is cooking (for other people). He got points for that immediately.

W1: This was the week Omi couldn't do any of his usual stuff. He was RUDE NOW, and couldn't cook. Both tthings were annoying to him, for different reasons. Cooking is just what he does, what is he without cooking, he literally just got unbanned from cooking in the dorms at home. Please. Spare him.

Omi being nice and polite is something he has been working on since he was 17 and disbanded his biker gang. So to suddenly go back to being this rude sucked a lot, and he hated it!

Gojou was very good at getting his mind off of it with other things. Video games, or photography or banging. He always had a good time with Gojou when they hung out. More points.

By the end of this week, he was starting to feel okay with being straightforwardly honest with him. instead of gently dodging to the side like he does with a lot of other people.

W2: Here we go.

Omi's memshare with Gojou was very specifically not his full monologue, it was something that Omi references as happening. The moment he lost his best friend in a gang war, and then Omi got the memory back of Gojou having to kill his best friend. These are not at all the same thing, but we both miss our best friends a lot. Not the same, but losing a friend is something that they can both understand with their first hand knowledge of the subject.

At that point he was pretty much settled in on "I do like Gojou enough to tell him about myself in full." Gojou was the one and only person Omi gave that monologue to of his own free will.

Omi was never going to judge him for having a murderous best friend who went off the rails. Things happen, and you cannot control the things that other people do even a little bit.

This was the thread where Gojou said "Omi, you have to have a dream of your own" and nobody has ever told Omi that. Or that he should look for something for himself. This very specific thing he said was it, this was the moment he felt like he was like... cared about? Not that he doesn't think his friends care about him, but this was sort of... a nudge to go think about what he wanted, for once. It's not something Omi thinks about at all, back home. It just stuck with him for the entirety of 7rings.

They had that bath together this week and Gojou opened his mouth! And pointed out how Omi was looking at him! If Gojou had said nothing, Omi would've said nothing. Because of how they were, and because he kind of felt like "What? Am I supposed to say I DON'T like him?" Because Omi can and does lie (usually via omission), but he liked Gojou entirely too much to lie about something like this. And after this he was not entirely sure if they were together or not, because he confessed, but Gojou didn't and he was just "Well, that's fine. At least I won't regret telling him, no matter what happens from here."

He also became the person Omi came to most often when things got rough. Gojou felt like a very steady presence and it was easier to focus in on him, then to deal with the circumstances around him.

W3: His feelings did not change that much. Gojou was still the person Omi liked the most. They did actually solidify that they were a thing, here. They talked about it and reached a conclusion of: you're my number one, but if we need to indulge, it's probably better to stay open.

And then he died and felt guilty about it because he knew how much it sucks to be the one who remains. He couldn't even tell Gojou he was fine at that point.

W4: There was a lot of pining from the graveyard and Omi thought more about it. It was more than just "like", wasn't it? It's not like he had regrets on what he did say, because what he said was true at the time. He did like and have a crush on him, and he wanted to spend more time with each other.

W5: He got to write Gojou this week! Because he figured out it was more than just like, it was "Oh I would really do anything for you, huh? You're one of my most important people... ever?" Steven and Omi shared their letter that week, and Omi took a few letters to let Gojou know how he felt.

He did joke a little bit about getting married at the end here, but he was fully joking. They've only really known each other for effectively a month? But it was a wild month, and Omi gets very attached, very quickly. He still wants to be able to contact him, and be able to visit each other.

Also please get him out of this box.
