[Is it crueler to catch feelings for someone else here, or crueler to have already had those feelings?
Hiyori can only speak for the second one, but suffice to say, it's been hard. Loving someone isn't easy; "too much energy" is what he'd said to Tsumugi that one time, and he wasn't wrong. Loving someone isn't all fluffy feelings and happiness. Loving someone, at least in this environment, means worrying himself sick and constantly fretting over whether that person will be alright. Always being on guard around others, his stomach churning at the thought that someone might try to "steal" his partner from him. It's exhausting, in other words.
But it's times like these that make it all seem worth it: seeing Jun smile and hearing him talk excitedly about their plans, after rushing right up to his room to ask him on a date. All his worries about the future and about their environment seem to dissipate into thin air. In moments like this, he can truly be happy. Something as simple as chatting about suits with Jun feels both refreshing and oddly exhilarating.]
Normally you'd just take it to a dry cleaner's. With 90-something floors, there's bound to be one of those around somewhere. Though I'm not sure wearing a full suit is necessary. Just a dress shirt and slacks should do, unless there's a formal dress code. Though I am curious to know what your so-called wedding outfit looked like.
[The last bit said with a teasing smile. A wedding outfit might be a bit much for a rehearsal—especially one where Jun's not even the performer. And it's certainly not like Hiyori wants to show off his "wedding outfit." But the thought of seeing Jun in wedding clothes is, well... it's exciting! Now more than ever! (Though he does still remember Jun's outfit from the Bridal Field Trip...)
And then his smile becomes more pronounced when Jun says that last line. He's smiling so hard his face hurts, really. This is what you call excellent weather.]
Doing your best for my sake, hmm? That's good, I like that! My offer from SS last year still stands, of course. Just take my hand, and I'll guide you step-by-step through the world of nobility ♪ I'm sure that one day, you'll look perfectly respectable standing at my side. Like a perfect gentleman... ♪
