[If Date ever knows that the nest few minutes of his life was being recorded in voice, he would have thought twice about saying all of this. But as it is, he doesn't know he's being recorded now so everyone can hear the sheer awkward coming from the usually composed warlord.]
--so like, well... what I want to say is that... you... [Long awkward

Date, you should consider having your communicator looked at. It appears to turn itself on with alarming frequency.
[He probably has more unintentional posts than planned ones... Nonetheless, he feigns curiosity.] Having trouble with something?
[Because Vergil is clearly the best person to go to regarding the subject of emotions.]

[Anyway, that aside...] To answer your question: no, not really. [He is just troubled, you see.]

...
Didn't seem that way.
[Okay he'll bite. Even if normally he'd just leave it alone. Too unlike Date to be, well, unsure about something.]

[Also, he's only going to admit this because you're his BFF.]
It's... Hard to explain.

Take your time.
[Vergil's at home at the moment, just taking a break from writing while on the couch. He's not in a rush.]

Now just give him about five minutes to muster the courage up to speak.]
I-- [Paaaause. And suddenly in a smaller voice, and sort of rushed.] I... I like Koujurou.
[And pause again.] I mean--I think I do.

I see. [Absent-minded. But then he pauses from his writing.] Wait... what?
[Not the most subtle or eloquent of moments on Vergil's part.]

I said I like Koujurou. Or I think I do. [He still isn't certain which.]
Reply
You think you do? [Looking stoic again. He tilts his head slightly.] You've never struck me as the type to second-guess yourself, Date.

Looking annoyed now, by the way.] Like I said, it's hard to explain. [More like hard to talk about it, but you get the message.]

You've never struck me as the type to be out of touch with your emotions, either. [Exact opposite, in fact. Date was far too reckless and yet strangely merciful to be anything but.]
...Koujurou would probably be amenable. [Whether due to his own sentiments or out of some sense of duty to his lord is another question entirely, though.]

Anyway, making an uncomfortable face now.] I... He's my Right Eye. [Always has, always will. He doesn't want to lose that because of these... Feelings.] He's important.

All the more reason, don't you think? If you can trust anyone... [-to allow close to you, it should be the one who's most important to you. Vergil's known Koujurou the tiniest fraction of the time that Date has, but he knows the man is definitely trustworthy.
Of course, he'd never thought of that in a romantic sense, which is an awkward thought. But still, point stands.]

I'm not sure how this will affect things. [Pauses.] I don't want them to.
