shawarma time

[finalmix]

[ some time after Atem's palace when everyone has had the time to get back from braphine's temple, and more importantly get that sand out of your everything (and enjoy NOT 40 degree Celsius weather)

everyone who was in Atem's palace will find themselves suddenly added to a group chat by joshua and he just sends a singular address

it's the address to a shawarma place that somehow magically has a big enough table to fit 14 people. amazing. we love fluid locations like this.

post palace dinner, y'all know the drill ]

[Stops in his tracks!]

Eh? It isn't obvious?

[He's not one to avoid speaking about his feelings. But this is kinda... ehhh... Ehhh... He rubs his wrist without much thought.]

I changed how I address you because...

[He just said they're friends!!]

You're someone special to me.

[AS A FRIEND!]

I want you to remember that every time I say your name.

Oh. I wasn't aware you could do that.

[ he nods, as if it were a whole new fact for soujuurou. he's never really seen a reason to change how he refers to people, but it's good to know that can happen. ]

I really like you too, Atem. Thank you.

[ a beat. oh, right, people tend to misinterpret the word 'like' don't they? ]

Oh, but please don't misunderstand. You're special to me, but I only like you as a friend.

[metagame]

[WHY WOULD SOUJUUROU THINK OTHERWISE??!?!]

Why would I misunderstand you... Do you think I... No! I only like you as a friend, too!

[He cannot handle this man--- he's too much for him. White flag, white flag!

DO PEOPLE REGULARLY CONFESS THEIR LOVE TO SOUJUUROU

no, he's not thinking about this. nope. he's walking away now. bye.]

[ glad to see that was resolved! he goes back to mindlessly munching on his food. ]
