[his brow furrows, at that-- when someone says confession he doesn't tend to picture rejections, at least not any more than he usually assumes. (which, in fairness-- he usually does expect it.)
he sets his cup down, then.]
I- well, I guess I probably don't need to ask why, the reasons are usually pretty standard, but-- I kind of want to know anyway?
[he doesn't really think it's going to happen, honestly.]
I never meant to say anything because you're normal, you know? I didn't want to-- I don't know, make it too weird. Freak you out or anything. Probably should have figured that I'd do that anyway.
You're not boring-! Just, you know, you don't... have that kind of thing where you're from, I guess.
[he reaches up to rub at the back of his neck, there.]
I just don't get why you thought you needed to-- I mean, it's not like I was ever asking you out, is your boyfriend asking you to cut things off with other people you slept with or something? Was it really just that text?
You literally showed up wearing nothing but an apron just because I brought it up, and that was like, the first or second time we met for real? Promise you that is not boring.
[he exhales a slight huff of a laugh, at that, though it's pretty weak.]
I mean- I had fun when we did, honestly, but I don't-- I don't think we should repeat that? I just.
[he worries at his lower lip with his teeth for a few moments, before he manages to keep going.]
I get you're just being honest, but I also kind of didn't ever consider anything except sleeping with you because I was pretty sure you would reject me anyway, so I think you can probably see how getting that anyway is-- I don't really know how to put it. I already know I'm pretty weird to a lot of you guys, okay.
[It is Wednesday, and so Omi nods his head. If that's what Envy wants, then that's fair. Just don't do that again.
Honestly, why did he even say that? He barely knows how to deal with people, and emotions are such delicate things. If he was a younger man, he would've left this conversation.]
I'm sorry. That must sound really hollow now, but I mean it. I'd still like to be friends, if you'd have me.

It's been feeling like that a little bit this week. Not sure why.

[He'll start preparing some tea.]
Do you know where that text came from?

[Spoilers, he figures.]
Can I confess to you, or does it have to be another participant?

[he smiles over the rim of his teacup, taking a sip.]

[He takes a sip of his own tea.]
Hm... I think you're very cute, but I don't think we're really compatible for a long term relationship.

Confess your true feelings. Well.]
I fell for somebody else.
And you're just a little bit too flippant about being killed. That's scary to watch.
no subject
[he's not really looking at omi, gaze falling down to his cup.]
But, uh. That thing where we can see you guys, y'know? I kind of already knew that first part.

Guess I shouldn't be that surprised. Especially with all your eyes. [A gentle little laugh.]

[Because he's seen some of those heavy memories that people are carrying around.]
I think it's plenty possible.

no subject
It was... really just that text. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
[Maybe he should not have done this? It's awkward now.]
I mean, we're both open when it comes to sleeping with other people. At least, while we're here.

If you wouldn't, I understand that too.

[operating on Maximum Envy is not easy.]
...I think I should probably go.

... Alright. Maybe we can talk again later?
