Yeah. That's really how it's feelin'.

[Another dusting and now-

A blue haired man stands before you, dressed warmly. "After that, Boss, about our upcoming preparations..."

You look at him, amused grin at your lips, "Hey, just call me Brad. We don’t have that kind of relationship anymore, right? You're like a partner to me." The two of you have been together for years and years at this point. He hasn't gone anywhere.

Immediately, the blue haired man is flustered. " I-I can't possibly do that. You’re the boss. I’m just your underling..."

You stride across the cavern, looping an arm around his shoulders, "Don't be so distant now, Nero. I only got this far because of you. How many times do you think your advice saved me from a close call with death? I would have turned into stone a long time ago without ya. Our enemies and allies both know that you're number two. Just call me Brad. Go on, try saying it."

Nero's shaking and red but slowly, "... Br... Brad......"

"Yeah. ...Ahaha! What are you getting embarrassed for!" You ruffle Nero's hair, voice full of warmth. Heart just as war.

Nero pouts for a moment, but his face is bright red and he's smiling. "Shut up...

...I'm happy, Boss...... No...... Brad.

I’ll make sure I’m someone worthy of your acknowledgement — a man you won’t be ashamed to call your partner. You can count on it."]

[ brad, this is gay as shit. but like, also really cute? despite futaba still reeling from her own brain blasting some full out bullshit, she's grinning at him and all but chin handing in delight because despite it being all of two seconds, she ships it ]

That's adorable.........!!

[battling]

[Futaba, that memory was sure a lot, but this memory is just. Gay.]

Hahaha, ain't he?

[He is so fond. Nero is his wonderful partner!]

[technocool]

[ PLEASE TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND I'M PERSONALLY IN TEARS ]

He blushes so easily!! I bet he's super easy to bully.

[ futaba, meanwhile, immediately starts plotting ]

[battling]

[He laughs in that friendly way you do when you're talking about somebody you love.]

No way, he gets so mad and starts throwin' shit around.

[He sounds so proud of him.]

[technocool]

[ brad that's gay ]

Awww, a tsun!


[ unfortunately, she still thinks it's cute ]

[battling]

[he died so early last game, he doesn't know this term.]

A what?

[technocool]

[ no worries, futaba is (once again) here for all your modern slang ]

A tsundere! Someone who when flustered gets all grouchy and mean instead of soft and cute to the person they like.

[battling]

There's a whole word for it, huh? Then yeah, he's a tsun.

[technocool]

[ she takes note that he doesn't deny the 'person he likes' part and mwehehhohooh's quietly ]

Absolutely! There's a whole catalog of attractions, especially for nerds who only like certain types.

[battling]

I just like him.

[Bradley, specifically, won't deny the relationship.

If Nero was here....]

[technocool]

[ she clutches her chest! one hit ko'd! ]

You've told him that, right?! Right!?!

[battling]

Yeah, 'course. Told him no matter what happens, I'll always be on his side.

[technocool]

[ this is so very gay and futaba is absolutely delighted by it. i however, am in full out tears mira I'm suffering ]

Good...! That's the way it should be! I hope he appreciates it.

[battling]

[truly the divorcee who doesn't know he's divorced is
Something.]

Hope he does too.

[Nero Does Not Wish to Think of This.]

[technocool]

[ at this rate, nero is going to get kicked in the shins if a post camp situation happens again. rip in pepperoni.

meanwhile, futabs just claps excitedly because wowee! actual good news about romance in this hellscape. (ha) ]

[battling]

[this is a biased account of this relationship]

You look so happy about it.

[technocool]

[ too bad for nero ]

It's the best news I've heard about since we won our game weeks ago!

[ she's clutching onto literally any good news at this point ]

[battling]

[He laughs, but he's in a good mood.]

Glad to give it.
