...What the hell is wrong with the plaza?

[Seriously, what. Giant tree out of nowhere, what. Not that he doesn't have more important things to be dealing with right now. Speaking of which-

...Man. This is going to be crazy-awkward, he just knows it. But hey, it has to be done- you can only dodge someone living in your own house for so long. Thankfully he hasn't had to deal with Luke very much. And Guy has been kind of preoccupied too, actually... strange. Oh well.

Either way, he'll be seeking out said housemate, hoping to talk before he heads off for the day.]

[Locked to Stella]

Can we meet today? [Okay, maybe they've been meeting more often than usual lately, but he can't really help himself...]

[HEY ASCH HEAR THAT

THAT'S THE SOUND OF GUY LOVING SOMEBODY A LOT MORE THAN HE LOVES YOU]

Hey, I won't be home until late tonight.

[HEY GUY HEAR THAT

THAT'S THE SOUND OF ASCH NOT GIVING A SHIT]

I probably won't be either.

[Pause.]

So I guess we won't see each other tonight, then.

[ANOTHER PAUSE, A LOT HEAVIER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE]

I might actually not be back until morning.

[....Huh. That sounds. Kind of. Suspect.]

I might not be, either.

[What in the world is going on?]

[The length of this pause is probably some kind of world record.]

...so I guess we're in agreement then. We won't see each other until morning, maybe.

.......and that's okay.

[......That's... really... really weird. It's not like Guy to be so quiet, either. That's confusing as hell. Asch mulls this over for a long moment, trying to figure things out. Then-]

I think we should talk.

[After or before you make out with your new girlfriend?]

When?

Let's do it now. I'm going out later.

Where are you?

At home. I was going to head to the bar soon, though. Should I stay put?

...Yeah. I'll be right there.

[He'd headed out already, but he's just lurking at the outskirts of the plaza by the shops, so he'll be home in about five minutes.]

[Guy isn't quite sure what he's supposed to feel; impending doom? This feels like a breakup talk.

Despite that, though, he's...oddly relieved. Excited, even. If he and Asch aren't together that means he's a free agent, which means he can try and pursue Nami (as difficult that would be). ...but if he and Asch break up-

Well, they'll be broken up.

Ugh. He needs some freaking coffee for this.]

[Asch will meet him in the kitchen, then, tucking his discovery - a flower from the shop - out of sight for the moment. He'd rather not start this difficult discussion with "I got this for someone who isn't you". Not that they've ever gotten one another flowers or anything, but... still. It would be too strange.]

...You alright?

I'm fine. [Just nursing this mug of coffee with a furrowed brow is all.

...apparently Guy is not going to try and kick this conversation off. IT'S ALL UP TO YOU ASCH]

[...Oh boy. Well, he doesn't want to keep Stella waiting, so-]

I haven't given you much attention this week. Sorry.

[Guy lifts a shoulder in a lazy shrug.]

I haven't exactly been around for you to give it.

I noticed. [Again, very odd. So far he's chalked it up to Guy just working too hard at the bar, but... maybe something's wrong?] I've been thinking about what you said. About... not limiting myself.

Have you, now? [Siiiip.]

[Asch isn't sure he can look at Guy while having this conversation, so he focuses on the nearest window.]

...Yeah. And maybe you have a point.

So basically, this is your way of telling me you found someone else.

[Guy finishes his coffee and puts the mug in the sink.] Well, go on. You have somewhere to be, right?

[...Whoa, whoa, whoa. That was unexpected.]

That's all you have to say?

[Guy folds his arms loosely and leans against the counter, crossing his ankles.]

I was the one who told you not to limit yourself, right? Why would I throw a fit when you finally listen to me?

[But... they've been together for so long. He expected... something. So why...?]

I didn't think you'd take it so well.

There are very few things I don't take well, Asch. You should know that by now.

Then what, were you just waiting for this to happen? Is that why you suggested it?

Excuse me, why are you getting angry? You're the one breaking up with me.

Would you prefer I throw something at you?
