Oh no don't worry about that. We can't control this stuff. I'm cool with being friends too but I just thought it was only right that you know that I knew you.

Also that I know some other stuff about you too? You told me what happened to you back home.

[That's vague, but mostly because Jaime's really reluctant to say you died and became a door.]

[dormition]

[So it was a sense of fairness... Minato can understand that. Although he's mystified about what he might have told him. There's been a lot of things that have happened to him.]

All right. Thank you. What did I say?

[khajidont]

[Drat.]

I can't say I understood it 100%. You said that you became a seal. And that you had to sacrifice yourself to do it.

[dormition]

[There's a long pause, at least a minute, before the next response is sent.]

Oh. Why did I tell you about it?

[khajidont]

[GOOD QUESTION.]

Honestly I'm not sure. We were talking about your world and I guess it just came up.

[dormition]

It must have been on my mind, and I didn't want to burden anyone from home.

I suppose that's where he is now. The seal.

[khajidont]

That's what I thought once he got ported out. It all depends on how you think about all these different timelines though.

I'm sorry, I know this isn't fun to talk about. I sort of sprung this on you out of nowhere

[dormition]

It's probably best not to think too hard about it.

It's all right. Thank you for telling me. You must have been a good friend... and are one. You're close with Shinjiro-senpai, right? I'm glad he hasn't been alone.

[khajidont]

[He's still going to be thinking about it, but like hell he's going to say that.]

No problem. I'd want my people to do the same for me.

Shinji's had Akihiko here from pretty much the beginning so he'd never actually be alone but yeah we're close. Ex-roomies actually. He's a good guy

[dormition]

[Minato won't be able to help thinking about it sometimes either, to tell the truth.]

That's true, Akihiko-san has been here. Still, it's nice to have someone who isn't involved, if that makes sense. They have a lot of history.

[khajidont]

Yeah I get what you mean. And no kidding about history. Childhood friends right?

[Shinji still hasn't told him that he's dating Akihiko, the dingus.]

[dormition]

[Don't worry, Minato will just tell him, totally unthinking.]

Right. And I think it's hard to talk to your boyfriend about some things.

[khajidont]

Boyfriend???

[dormition]

They're dating.

[khajidont]

I FREAKIN KNEW IT. I CALLED IT LIKE A MILLION YEARS AGO

[khajidont]

Omg I can't believe he didn't tell me we've hung out like a million times

[khajidont]

What the heck! Do you know for how long?

[dormition]

[Minato waits a little longer to make sure he's done before typing, all patient.]

Sometime since they got here. I asked if they were at home but senpai said no. It wouldn't have surprised me, though... I think there was just too much going on.

[You know. Before he died.]

[khajidont]

Ok well I'm gonna get to the bottom of that.

[Jaime, this Minato doesn't know you. He shouldn't give a shit.]

So many things make so much more sense now. It's nice that they have the chance to go for it here

[...because Shinji is dead back home. Shit. Poor Akihiko.]

[dormition]

[Minato already thinks Jaime is a good friend, as he'd said, so to him there's nothing odd about him caring.]

How is it something to get to the bottom of?

Ah... yeah. That's how I feel, too. That it's another chance. [For Shinjiro and for him.]

[khajidont]

Because I want to know how long they've been together! They're my friends I've totally missed out on this

[Because he's nosy.]

Yeah exactly. And hey I know you've already got a few people here but if you ever want to use this chance to do anything here that you're not sure of I know the place pretty well. Consider it an open offer

[dormition]

You think as a friend I should be more interested in their relationship?

[This hadn't seemed likely to Minato before, but he'd trust Jaime's evaluation of it, so watch out. Or you'll end up with relationship counselor Minato.

Statements like this are why he thinks you're a kind person, Jaime.] Thank you. I don't know that there's anything I'd like to do except spend time with people. It's my only regret, really... I haven't even known everyone a full year. I'd be happy to spend time with you, too.

[khajidont]

I dunno be as interested as you wanna be. I don't think there's a hard and fast rule I'm just interested in the important things going on in my friends lives and that's a big important thing!

Well we can do that. And maybe some of your other friends will show up here too

[dormition]

I was just happy that they could rely on each other.

Is it selfish to hope that they do...? Although if it's from before, I'm not sure what I would say to them. I don't want to keep any secrets, but I don't want them to be upset before they have to be, either. Ken-kun doesn't know yet.

[khajidont]

I think they'd take the chance to spend some more time with you even if it meant being trapped in here for a while.

I dunno about the whole secret thing. Trust me, that always comes back to bite you in the butt but Ken seems like he's already got a lot to deal with. And he's still pretty young too. That makes it tougher
