At this point, it's probably more natural than anything... you might have been dating before you even realized it. [ Well, siblings do this too, but they'd never had that sort of vibe. ]
Mm... basically, your bond has been so tight that you began doing things couples would do, without thinking of it in any sort of romantic light. I imagine because of that, things feel natural for you, even if your relationship's officially changed.
I... didn't really think about it like that. That couples... really do the same kinds of things we were.
[of course he didn't, because all stahn ever really considered were then notes of romantic feelings, and things like the physical affection that come with it.
he knows how he feels about leon, but it's not like he ever really considered it that way. that romance and friendship have a fine line and that what they did was so on par with that.]
Do you really think that's how I am with Leon, Otome?
There... really wasn't any time to talk about it. What happened, we had so much to do.
[and everyone went their separate ways pretty quickly afterwards that there just wasn't a chance. he still plans on it, but he needs to have an actual opportunity to do so.]
Yeah. Or... I guess I'm going to, when I have some time to.
[he'd asked rutee if she wanted to, but she kind of never answered, and everyone else is busy. but he still wants to see a lot in the world, so... maybe he'll go alone one day.]

[ For the record. ]
no subject
[though it's probably inevitable, if only because leon is leon. there'll definitely be some kind of stupid conflict at some point.]
no subject
[ tactfully not saying BECAUSE YOU'RE DATING CAPTAIN DIFFICULTY. ]
no subject
[how2relationship, we just don't know. even if stahn is hoping they don't run into too many roadblocks.
though he is indeed dating captain difficulty, so that's kind of a loaded hope.]
no subject
[ It was just how things were. ]
STARES INTO THE SKY, WHEN DID I LOSE THIS NOTIF
[is he laughing a bit awkwardly? of course he is.]
I don't even know what would be left for us to argue about at this point, though.
IT'S FINE
no subject
[especially the sleeping in too long.]
no subject
[ He just needs to put a romantic slant on it. ]
no subject
[it's kind of their thing. he's not even sure how a romantic slant gets put on that.
...maybe because stahn doesn't realize that they've basically been like a married couple for a long time now.]
no subject
no subject
[well, this is absolutely what it is, but stahn doesn't even understand this as a concept. explain, mom!]

no subject
Very much so, yes.
no subject
I really had no idea... I wonder how long it's been like this for...
no subject
[ For as long as she's known them, she knows it's not as long as others have. ]
no subject
[that's... kind of an awkward thing to try and ask them, given the circumstances.]
I guess if a chance comes up sometime, I can. [strangely enough, he's definitely more comfortable talking to otome about this kind of thing.]
no subject
[ Maybe she should ask that first. ]

no subject
[ dial it down, mom. ]
no subject
I know. There aren't many places I'm going to alone anyway—just when it's something I have to do.
[he hates traveling alone, so it's not really part of his big plan here.]
