[locked] Case study #2: Ohtori Choutarou 1.0

[dataempire]

Really, Ohtori, you have quite a lot to say. I've tried to be as concise as possible. In some cases that level was only around 62.3%. My comments are in italics.

I know you'll be mad, but I'm really just trying to help...

Ah.

And yet I don't think a random one-night-stand with any given resident of the school is quite what he meant.

Re: Screened

That's not what I'm looking for.

I just...If I'm going to mess around with someone, for however long - I just don't want it to be a total stranger, okay? I - this wasn't meant to be read, Yuushi-sama - I was just...just trying to figure things out in my head, if there was anyone, here, who maybe I could...

you didn't answer me.

Re: Screened

[himitsunotsuki]

Understandable. To an extent, at least.

Why would I be, mm?

Re: Screened

[silverfromsteel]

I...I don't know. I just...you were kind of acting like it?

Re: Screened

[himitsunotsuki]

Nonsense, Ohtori-kun. I am aware of and partly responsible for my reputation, after all. But I am not, as your master graciously suggested going to harm you by taking you to bed, and I am sure that is not what you need.

If you do feel inclined to, perhaps we should.. talk.

Re: Screened

[silverfromsteel]

I never thought you would, Yuushi-sama. Why does everyone seem to have an opinion of what I need?

...Talk?

Re: Screened

[himitsunotsuki]

Perhaps it's because it appears to be what this private post of yours demands, Ohtori-kun. A separation of want and need

Talk. Surely you don't agree with Oishi in believing me incapable of such an action?

Re: Screened

[silverfromsteel]

....I'm not sure I understand, Yuushi-sama.

Well, of course not, but...talk about what?

Re: Screened

[himitsunotsuki]

You want to become more experienced, you want to do this to perhaps pursue a relationship with Shishido. What you need apparently varies based on perception.

Anything at all.

Re: Screened

[silverfromsteel]

...and what is it that you think I need, then?

...

Re: Screened

[himitsunotsuki]

I think you need to talk to your master about being so stiff

I don't presume to imagine what you need, but I do know that it isn't simply sex. How many times in your life have you had feelings for someone?

You do realise we're talking now, you needn't appear so confounded.

Re: Screened

[silverfromsteel]

Twice. Yuushi-sama, I fall for one person and one person only and I don't move on until I'm completely certain that I haven't got a chance with them. So short of my leaving Lioncrest, or Shishido telling me that no, he doesn't think of me that way at all and never will...this is going to continue. And Shishido won't do anything about it. He said he wanted me to get more experience - to 'live a little'. What am I supposed to do?

It's not confusion, exactly.

Re: Screened

[himitsunotsuki]

It's because you fall so hard that Shishido is reluctant to pursue a relationship further, Ohtori-kun, but I think you understand as much already. I don't advise that you attempt to see the world or have a string of casual flings but... learn to keep a hold on your heart, if that makes sense?

Oh?

Re: Screened

[silverfromsteel]

I know. But I can't really do anything about that, can I? And I don't want a...a 'string of casual flings', perhaps just one? I don't know how to explain it.

...Keep a hold on my heart?

Re: Screened

[himitsunotsuki]

The phrase answers both your questions. Do you realise what could happen if a relationship you fall into so hard somehow didn't work out?
