So, I was told to say this, and normally I wouldn't, but it looks like I've been virused and can't help it. They didn't say anything about mentioning the circumstances beforehand, though.

Ahem.

My name is Ryudo Issei, and Tohsaka Rin had better class grades than me.

You can tell me, if it's something I can help with.

[aquaticrush]

I-it's not! It'snotit'snotit'snotit'snotyouhavebetterthingstodo!

[unknownrival]

...do you need hugs too?

[aquaticrush]

Y-yes.

[unknownrival]

I don't know if I'm the best person to give those, considering the situation. But I could if you wanted.

[aquaticrush]

Y-you don't have to if you don't want to. I wouldn't be offended...

[unknownrival]

I'm already on hugging duty, it would seem. So it wouldn't make much of a difference in my schedule, but it would be a bit more awkward there considering who else is virused.

[aquaticrush]

Is something wrong? I-I mean, um, besides the obvious thing with, ah, me.

[unknownrival]

No, nothing's wrong at all.

[aquaticrush]

It sounded like it.

[unknownrival]

I just don't think you and Louis are compatible for group hugs.

[aquaticrush]

That's true, I don't think he likes me very much.

[unknownrival]

Don't let it bother you.

[aquaticrush]

But if I've offended somebody, I have to worry!

[unknownrival]

He's hard to offend. Just a little reserved.

[aquaticrush]

Then why does it always seem like he's upset with me?

[unknownrival]

Probably during the virus where you were both dating me, he wanted more time with me by getting you out of the picture.

...I didn't mean to say that.

[aquaticrush]

W-what? Really?

[unknownrival]

That's what I thought.

[aquaticrush]

I, ah, I should apologize...

[unknownrival]

You don't have to.

[aquaticrush]

I suppose it would be a little strange, i-if he really wanted to get rid of me, since that's not very good, is it, but I suppose he thought I was bad for you, which is understandable, I think.

[unknownrival]

...I'm not sure if that's the case.

[He's pretty sure his motives were more 'mine all mine' than that.]

[aquaticrush]

But it makes sense.

[unknownrival]

Don't people often have desires like spending more time with their loved ones? In that case, wouldn't it not matter who else was in the picture?
