Same here. [ But getting into the reason why Kaeya brought this up... ] Does that mean you've found someone you like?

[ He recalls that Gaku said that he would only do those squares with someone he likes, so give him the deets. ]

[associative]

[ WHY IS EVERYONE ASKING HIM THIS QUESTION!!!! ]

...There are a couple of people I'm interested in, yes.

[ But if Kaeya took a peek at his card, he'd see that one particular square is still unfilled. ]

[calla]

[ SPILL THE TEA!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Oh? A couple? My, you're not planning on creating a harem, are you?

[ Kaeya would love to take a peek if he can because more teasing material :) ]

[associative]

No. Once I commit to a person, they're the only one that I want.

[ He's got a very one-track mind when it comes to romance. ]

Do you really wanna know? Tell me who you like in exchange.

[ Usually, he wouldn't mind giving out this information for free, but Kaeya's teasing him. ]

[calla]

[ Gaku is so pure... puritan... and bold of Gaku to assume that Kaeya won't just lie. ]

Hmm, you first.

[associative]

You asked, so it's only polite that you go first.

[ He gives Kaeya his best winning smile. ]

[calla]

[ Hmm, who to choose? Well, there's no way that Kaeya is going to give his real answer, so he goes with his number two. ]

Trahearne.

[ Is Gaku familiar with Fistborn Shaqhearne. ]

[associative]

Oh, I haven't met him yet.

[ But maybe he should. He'll remember to do that. ]

Ellis and Lucia are mine.

[ He says it easily, despite all of the fuss earlier. ]

[calla]

[ Good choices, good choices. Honestly, Kaeya can see the appeal in both. ]

What do you like about them?

[associative]

Lucia is sweet and fun to be around. We get along really well, and I like her company.

[ That's easy enough to say, but he pauses before address the more complicated one of them. ]

Ellis... He confuses me, but I want to know more about him. He's a challenge.

[calla]

It's difficult to get a read on him, isn't it?

[ Perhaps that's one of the advantages of communicating non-verbally. There's typically so much to tell with just tone alone. ]

I'd say that you need patience if you were to pursue him.

[associative]

I'm not worried about having patience.

[ As he told Kaeya, once his heart is set, then that's it.

He frowns, mixing up some of the blue paint with white to make it lighter. ]

When it comes to Ellis... he works differently than others. [ Should he say this? Should he divulge this information to Kaeya? A considering look passes over his face before he decides he'll go ahead. ] Everything you've seen from him is an act.

[calla]

[ Kaeya continues to paint his small strokes, but he does look over the side of the canvas to peer at Gaku. ]

Oh? What makes you say that?

[associative]

[ He starts painting a stick figure. Kaeya's tall and thin, so this works. ]

Because I've seen the real him.

[ Gaku reaches out to grab his glass and have a sip of wine. ]

[calla]

[ Gaku is real ambitious, painting an entire body. Kaeya is being lazy and only painting the head. ]

Which is?

[associative]

[ It's going to be shitty, so there's no real ambition to be found, unfortunately. ]

Bitter and kind of rude. I don't mind it much, though.

[ Being an idol means he has an incredibly thick skin. ]

[calla]

[ That gets a huff of a chuckle from Kaeya. Rude, but Gaku doesn't mind it. That's honestly a little funny. ]

Well, then I wish you all the best in your pursuit. You'd be able to fill out that final bingo square if you succeed.

[associative]

[ KAEYA.... Gaku tries not to bite back at that statement, simply because it's true. ]

Yeah, I guess. That one square isn't my priority right now anyway.

[calla]

[ :) ]

Pursuing Ellis or Lucia would your priority then?

[associative]

...Yeah, it would be. I'd rather be in a relationship or something first before clearing that square anyway.

[ That's what is easiest for his heart. ]
