Nitori-senpai. I have a question.

[And sure he could ask this in person but...]

How do you know if someone is the person that your heart is supposed to go doki doki for?

Hmm?

[ Strange voice messages from Momo are apparently just going to be a thing. Well, Aiichiro isn't upset about it or anything, and as for what to say... his mouth sort of does it without his brain getting involved. ]

I don't think there's a "supposed to", Momo. If your heart is going doki doki for someone, that's how you know. It might be a little hard sometimes here, where it's easy to get intimate with and care a lot about people but...

If you find yourself thinking about that person even when you're not with them a lot, that's a good clue. Or if you see something nice when you're out, and your first thought is that they'd like it? Or if you stop to think every time you learn something new - sexual or otherwise - whether it'd be something they'd enjoy, that too.

[Nitori.

Why were you way more helpful than Rin?]

You're so smart, Nitori-senpai.

What? I don't think there's anything smart about it, it's just...

[ He's kind of glad this isn't video, because his face looks like a tomato right now. ]

I'm in love with someone myself, so of course I think that way. But Momo... who is your heart going doki doki for?

I never did tell you mine, did I? Maybe we should trade secrets.

Um...well...

[Flustered Momo is flustered. But at least he figured out who he's got feels for with Rin.]

...Yamazaki-senpai.

[ This squeal right here? It's probably almost as bad as how loud Momo was before when Ai lectured him for it. Oops. ]

THAT'S GREAT, MOMO-KUN!

I mean, you already live together, right? And you must like each other a lot, if you chose to do that! And he's really kind even if he looks scary sometimes, isn't he?

[NITORI-SENPAI APPROVES! Not that he'd have a reason not to. BUT HAPPY DAY.]

Yeah! And he takes good care of me and he even kept sharing a bed with me even though we have multiple beds where we live now! And he showers with me and he cuddles with me to watch TV!

[...It's like they've been a couple for two months already.]

I think you're really lucky to have someone to do those things with, Momo. And he's really lucky to have you too.

[ His voice is a little more sober now, thinking about it. But he's not upset, just... more sedate.]

You should really tell him that you're having feelings for him, I'm sure it's better to get it out there. And from the sounds of it, you're already pretty much together, right?

But I think... even if it's like that, saying the words is important. I think that when everything is in the open, people are happier.

I don't think I could keep it from him if I tried. Keeping secrets for other people is easy. Keeping my own is really hard, Nitori-senpai.

[Not that he knows that's how Rin figured out things but still.]

Then you should just decide how you want to tell him, that's all. You can make it something special, or just choose a time that feels right.

[ He giggles softly, and doesn't explain, letting himself relish a memory without comment. It had been rather fun, how he'd told Zexion, and reading the poem for Genesis had been pretty nice too. ]

Whatever it is, it has to be whatever feels best to you. And I'm sure it'll be all right. Even if he doesn't love you in quite the same way, or doesn't want to change something immediately... he wouldn't be where he is with you if he didn't care about you a lot.

Rin-senpai kind of said that too...

[Eventually.]

Hey, who do you love?

... do you promise not to judge me?

Nitori-senpai, you lived with me and put up with lots of my stuff. It wouldn't be fair to judge you about anything!

[He laughs at himself because...hey, he knows.]

Don't worry. I won't.

Thank you, Momo, I really do appreciate it.

[ He pauses, trying to think how to say it. ]

When you were at Club Rapier, did you pay much attention to all the other people? The person that I'm actually dating is the owner there, the one who caught me when I fell off the stage, the big red-haired guy?

But the other person... the one that asked if you wanted a testimonial for the business, Zexion. Genesis and I are both... sort of involved with him.

It's a little strange, maybe, but I'm in love with them both, even if only one of them is something "official" exactly.

What's so strange about having a really big heart? You just have one of the biggest ones ever!

[He's so happy for him that he might explode.]

They're really cool people too, Nitori-senpai! You're lucky1

Momo-kun! What do you mean about... well, I mean... I guess you could put it that way? After all, I still care a lot about Rin-senpai too, and Haru, and Nagisa and Rei and Makoto, and you and Yamazaki-senpai, and Edmund and Kise and all my friends from here and...

I guess there must be a lot of room in my heart after all. And loving two people might sound kind of complicated, but it's actually... really nice. There are some things that one of them is better at than the other, different kinds of support of happiness they offer me.

I don't usually talk about it much, but I'm glad we shared our secrets, Momo-kun.

Complicated? Mmm.... Not really. Mostly it sounds like you'll be extra taken care of which makes me really happy because you deserve the best. And if the best means two people then that's what you should have.

[He laughs a bit.]

Thanks for telling me. I'm really, really happy for you!

Thanks, Momo-kun. Be sure to tell me how it goes with Yamazaki-senpai, okay? You deserve to be really happy too, you know.

[ There's a slight pause here, a hesitation. ]

You're a really important friend to me.

Ahahaha...I hope it goes well. He might not like me that way at all... But I don't want to hide this stuff from him.
