You're a good kid, Freminet. I would hardly consider you asking your brother if he's been seeing someone "prying". I'm sure he'd hardly even call it a secret!
[Because this isn't a relationship. It's not really anything, right? So of course Lyney wouldn't tell someone as important as his little brother.]
[Something wasn't clicking in Freminet's mind. It was clear that Lyney and Heizou were probably together or at least starting to be close enough based on the rumors he heard. But then again, there were just that. Rumors.
While a part of him was upset to hear that Lyney had been seeing someone without telling him, another part of him was wondering a few things. Were they just friends or...?]
Can I ask you something? Are you really just friends then...?
[There's a pause. It's hard for Heizou to come to consider someone as one of his friends. He has walls that he keeps up and there are good reasons for that. So does he think of Lyney as someone he can just let in like that?
No. Not yet, at least.]
"Friend" is a bit of a strong word, I think. We really haven't known each other all that long, after all!
[So they're not friends but it is clear they have been seeing each other for a while. It was an odd thing for Freminet to consider. However, there was one other thing that he had in mind. He was certain that Lynette brought it up at some point.
Hm....]
...Is it one of 'those' things I heard so much about?
[Heizou's usually pretty good at putting pieces together. This? Without a face to read to explain the purpose of those quotation marks? He's a little baffled.]
'Those' things? What do you mean?
[Surely Freminet's too young to be talking about...]

Date: 10 Mar 2024 16:36 (UTC)[And that was all he was going to say about it.]
no subject
Date: 10 Mar 2024 16:42 (UTC)Well, I suppose it's not wrong to call it that...
[But Freminet please! You're a baby! Purge this phrasing from your mind!]
no subject
Date: 10 Mar 2024 16:53 (UTC)I suppose that answers my question.
…
I hope that you and my brother will get along in the future.
[What was he supposed to say about that?]
no subject
Date: 10 Mar 2024 16:57 (UTC)Does it bother you? We can stop if it does.
[Lyney and Freminet's relationship as brothers is much more important than this fling of theirs. Heizou doesn't want to cause problems for them.]

Date: 10 Mar 2024 17:18 (UTC)I hope so too. I wouldn’t mind having some more friends.
