[THIS IS THE WORST. DID HE OFFEND HIM, HE'S REALLY SWEATING ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE HERE, so he's just gonna come right out and say it!! In one breath.]
I'm saying I also like guys and I've only ever been with one too so you can't really tell I do either but now I feel like an asshole for judging you!!
[WHEEZE]
N-- never mind! It doesn't matter! We're gonna talk about you again!
I think it's the opposite. [No game recognizing no game...] But whatever. You're, uh, the only person here who knows that, so-- yeah. Thanks.
[It feels good to get it out, but he's jumping back on topic so he doesn't feel like dying from embarrassment anymore.]
So are you and Mashita an item now? I think I only ran into him, like, once... If you're dating or something it'd be nice to meet the guy at some point. [Since Yashiki cares about him and all, it's the least he can do!!]
Of course, I'll let you know as soon as I ask [ he pauses for a second and opens his mouth before changing what he's going to say. ] Mashita.
[ yashiki was going to try to use his first name casually, but it doesn't sound right. it's something special so it should only be used that way, right? ]

[ DID HE USE THE PHRASE RIGHT? DID HE? ]
And, anyway, you still are kind and helped me so don't feel like too much of an asshole.

[ Those words come out without his meaning, but he is somewhat grateful that Travis trusts him that much. ]

Do, do I call him my boyfriend?
[ Oh, that makes him feel weird, because it sounds like something from high school and that doesn't feel right. ]
no subject
As soon as I said it, no... that wasn't right...

[It's too easy to do so, after all. Travis feels at ease with Yashiki-- trusting him is a no brainer.]

boy, it's a good thing he's already used to yashiki talking to himself like this lmao]
People use partner too. Boyfriend does sound a little too juvenile for guys our age, doesn't it...?
[and if he brings up 'lover', yashiki will DEFINITELY just get embarrassed.]
3/3
[even he can manage that. hopefully.]

And he muses over using "partner." He actually does like that since they have always called each other partners to begin with. ]

[ Travis be mean? Is that possible? ]
I was just thinking Kirk also wants to meet him. It is really a surprise... I guess it is like introducing him to my loved ones.
[ He laughs a little. ]
no subject
Who knows. Maybe we can meet him together.

He probably would like it all at once rather than one at a time.
[ "Get it over with" sort of mentality sounds like Mashita, yes. ]

I'll just... leave it in your hands.

Later, Yashiki.
