( his face turns even redder. his heart is racing and he feels lovesick all over again. will he ever get used to dating this beautiful and wild soul? )
No. Take the job.
( he isn’t going to let a petty spat with hifumi stop dice from this. )
The position seems to suit you well. ( he’s being honest, no lies here. remarkable. ) You’ll, of course, have to preview anything you make. Before debuting it to the public. ( yes he’s suggesting fucking to mixes dice ends up making. that’s exactly what he’s implying. )
[Dice just grins. They've come around from a sad, strained topic to Gentaro being honestly happy for him, he thinks. And that's all he can ask for. He's gotta take care of business, too.]
You bet! I'll probably ask you a lot about what works and what doesn't... You know, play it for you and stuff. I'm gonna be making shit up, and I'm actually kinda excited. Is that weird? Maybe I'll be good at it.
( it’s remarkable. it’s just a testament to their push and pull, their ability to see through it all and to come out stronger. )
I see. ( a hum and there’s an upturn of his lips; he’s definitely feeling better. ) Well, there is a saying that creative minds seek other one another out. It seems to track. I’d be glad to give you my honest opinion.
I've never done anything like this, but you're creating stuff all the time, right? I gotta catch up.
[It's funny how loving Gentaro has already changed his mindset and his life, how much he wants to be a better person, a better partner. Does he still gamble away a disproportionate amount of his chroma? Oh, sure. But he always comes home to Gentaro, always wants to make him smile and be there to share in the little dumb shit that makes life worth it. For once, life is worth it.]
Thanks... I didn't mean to change the subject or anything, I just... really wanted to tell you right away.
( is that what it’s like to have someone excited to tell you news? to share their day? it’s so surreal. while gentaro had had it briefly with his friend, it hadn’t been this level of... well, everything. )
I’m deeply offended. Mortally wounded.
( he feigns a sniffle behind a sleeve, eyes shutting for effect. but as the sleeve slips there’s a tug of a smile appearing. ) A lie, of course. I’m glad your first thought was to tell me and not to buy a fancier place to live than this. ( also a joke!!!!!! )
( god he’s in love with this idiot. how did he get so lucky and start letting someone in again? )
I don’t find it weird. ( it’s whimsically said, as if he’s almost afraid of how easy all of this. how natural. how much he feels like he belongs when he’s with dice. could this really last? )
In fact, I once made a wish a long time ago. Back before you returned here.

[Dice smiles broadly, his trepidation ebbing away completely.]
