First off, I'm sorry for avoiding everyone. I kinda socialed myself out with the masquerade and I'm not used to it, so I hid for awhile. [ Soul looks apologetic as he appears on the network with this statement, running his hand through his bangs and trying to smile. Mostly he just looks supremely embarrassed. Not by what he's said but what he's about to say. ]

So uh, I have to ask for some advice.

[ He pauses and takes a deep breath as his cheeks flush. ]

What do you do when you have a big old crush on someone? Do you tell them your real feelings or only spill it a little? Do you do it at all if you've been avoiding them and they're kind of upset about it? I'm sort of tired of avoiding them more than anyone, and feel like the only answer is to say something so I can't anymore.

But I really don't want to. Is there any way I can avoid this? I'm really not sure about it because I've never... liked another guy before, and I don't know how to handle it with a guy. I barely know how to handle it with a chick.

I don't want to lose this friend if they get pissed off about it. Things could stay the same and I'd be okay. I'm used to not getting what I want.

[ He pauses. That's kind of a shitty thing to say and he didn't mean to. ]

Uh, forget that last statement, please.

Help?

...[Somewhere, in the distance, Maka laughs.]

Scythe-y boy! [Oh, has she missed her Soul. Blair practically smooshed the camera against her] It’s good to see you. Aw, you don’t have to admit anything to Blair. ~

[Wait, did he say something about liking other men? She certainly didn’t expect that. A look of confusion washed across her face]

Huh, you like another guy?

.......

[And soon a text comes:]

Gee, what was that you were saying about no relationships with people in the castle?

Bl-blair?

[ Soul looks somewhat shocked. He missed the fact she arrived and this is a weird way to find out. ]

....yeah kinda. But you're here?!

nobody said im starting a relationship its just my heart fucking with me

Of course I am. You don't think I'd leave you here all alone did you?~

[Well, he had Maka, but whatever]

If it's making someone notice you, Blair can help!

I just thought you'd stay at home. I didn't expect you here.

[ He actually looks glad to see her. ]

And it's more like - I need to be able to talk to him again? I can't seem to manage it, and he's getting real pissed.

uh-huh.

But.

You also said "starting a relationship with someone in the castle wouldn't be a good idea."

[But seriously.]

You know I'm just as clueless about this as you are, right?

Home is where the soul is! [wink]

[But still, no one upsets her friends if she can help it]

Just tell me the guy's name and I'll have him taking a warm bubble bath with you in no time!~

i doubt hed want to start a relationship after ive avoided him for weeks

yeah thats why i didn't ask you directly!

But you addressed this to the whole castle and here I am, making fun of you like a meister should.

Why were you doing that? That was stupid.

god i shouldnt have done that right why did i do this

and i dont know why it was doing it the idea of talking to him made me feel like my throat was closing up

Wow, that's adorable. [ He rolls his eyes at the statement but he still has to admit that. ] And I won't tell you here, he could overhear. But we could meet up.

Look um

I don't have any idea how to do this, it's not like they cover in school "what to do if your weapon starts liking someone like that."

Did you want to just

talk and I'll listen?

I can't give advice but I can listen.

maybe but wouldnt that make you feel uncomfy like i dont want to make you feel that way

How so, it's not like *I* like anyone that way and this is going to stir some novel-esque revelation in me like "yes, I must tell them!"

Really, it's fine. I'm here for you, okay?

yeah. okay.

thanks, maka

im here for you too in anything but you already know that

Hooray! Blair gets to finally see you up close again! [Real close]

Wanna meet at Maka's? [That's where she's been spending most of her time nowadays anyway. Maybe it can switch to Soul's room]

[Soul's been avoiding him again - the one saving grace is that he's been avoiding everyone. Atsuya looks thoroughly unimpressed, though. Soul's not sick this time. No reason to go easy on him. But Atsuya's still pretending to be Shirou for the masses, so only Soul will know how much trouble he's in.]

Rika is pretty in love with Ichinose-kun. She mostly just kidnapped him and declared herself his fiancee.

[And that's it, that's the limit of his exposure to love and romance. Having said that, he gets up. He's done. Between Soul and the stupid paranoia he started the month with, he really needs to kick something. He's going to find a ball first so it's not Soul.]

[ Soul's pretty freaked out about Atsuya because he knows how much trouble he's in. And the fact Atsuya left means maybe he's about to get in trouble, so he goes with texting him instead to try to make this up and not lose him. ]

hey look im sorry im so sorry can we meet up i gotta talk to you

Okay, sure. Now?

...Why am I wary about how close you're gonna get?

[ Ah, young love (or LOVE) blossoms on the battlefield. This use of the network isn't exactly his Big Favorite or anything, but it's never failed to make him chuckle.

Besides. Maybe it'll mean people stop shipping him with everyone he talks to for more than five minutes. ]

oh boy.
howzabout we look at it from a different perspective?
you're rollin' along mindin' your own business...
and you see this post by one of your buddies, right?
tellin' a bunch'a strangers on the internet all this stuff.

[ That he's got a crush. That he doesn't know what to do about it, that he's willing to advertise to a 'bunch of strangers' what he can't bring himself to say to this other guy, that he anticipates not getting what he wants.

Sans's choice of words are pretty deliberate. ]

seems to me you've done a lotta thinkin' about YOUR feelings, and not too much about his.

[ Soul is shocked and startled by this response. He hadn't expected this from anyone but he really should have, he thinks. His cheeks flush again from anger. ]

You know what? [ His voice is shaking a bit. ] You don't know anything about me so you should kind of shut up.

Besides, how would he even know it was about him?

you're old enough that i ain't givin' you a pass on the lack of self awareness.
not many of us here, y'know? and not all'a them are your age, male, and someone you associate with.
at best, you make a couple of your friends feel awkward.
