I don't really know what it's like to have one, and honestly relationships aren't my thing.
[He'd never admit it to anyone else, but- well, if he expects Aomine to open up, he should be truthful himself, too, right?]
Maybe my advice isn't worth much, but it's wrong to see you two this way. How do you think she feels right now, Aominecchi? Do you think she's mad at you for the kiss?
[this is aomine we're talking about ok. when is he not stupid.....] What? I didn't... [okay so he can't really say that he didn't not run away, because he kind of did. BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.] I only did that because I didn't want to mess up her chances of getting together with someone--
[Eh...Aomine's stupidity is part of his charm. Kise's still into it. But he rolls his eyes- he saw Momoi kissing Aomine back. And he was there for the aftermath. He knows for a fact it's not the kiss Momoi's upset about.]
[he heaves a sigh.] I guess.... I mean... I just don't think it's a good idea. All I ever seem to do is make her upset. She deserves someone better than that. someone who's not an ass like me.
[but as he says this he's not sure he'd be happy with that, but that's whatever.]
["No, I'm not" says the guy who completely turned Kise's life around, the guy who brought color and life and meaning back into Kise's world, the guy Kise chases and admires and aspires after--
He's not really sure how to respond to that without seeming-- weird. He can't just suddenly unload all his deepest thoughts of hero-worship onto Aomine's lap. Especially when that's not the point of the conversation.]
Right now, Aominecchi. [A smile.] You're so worried you're going to lose her, you aren't even hungry.
What does that have anything to do with-- [and then he pauses. it... well it makes sense. throughout his stay here he's been either sleeping a lot or stuffing his face with food. he's not that much of a hungry beast like kagami is, so he didn't really make anything of it when he rejected the ice cream kise bought for him. (which is probably a melting puddle of goop by now, whoops. he'll have to put that in the freezer so it can freeze all over again)
but now that he's bringing it up... well. it's too jarring. he looks down at his lap and bites his lip a little.] Damn... [he runs a hand down his face.] I'm not used to feeling this way, especially when it involved Satsuki. If you told me that I'd end up kissing her when we were back home, or when I first got here I probably would have laughed. But then we just-- I don't know... got closer? I've never done this sort of thing before, and the last person I ever want to hurt is her. [he shakes his head as he lets out a weak sounding laugh.] I don't think I can even recall a moment where I've been this cautions about starting something.
What if things don't turn out the way she expected?
[As stupid as Aomine may be, his feelings are genuine, and he honestly doesn't know what to do or how to proceed. Kise's heart hurts for him in many ways, and not even Kise knows what to do from here.
He's never been in a relationship. What does he know?]
Thinking about what-ifs like that doesn't suit you, Aominecchi.
It's good to be cautious. But don't let something that may not even happen stop you, you know? What if it turns out exactly how she expected- or even better than what she expected? Or just different- a lot of things can happen. You don't know which it'll be until you get there.
[he nods. and now that his stomach is done feeling like it's been through the laundry he finally feels a little at ease. he also feels like he can sleep for a million years too. so he's going to sink further and further onto his bed.
he's probably going to sleep for a day before he gets in touch with satsuki. but it's not like he's going to let any of this time go to waste. he's going to sleep on it.] Yeah...

Anyway, what I'm saying is- your relationship may change, but it doesn't have to be a bad thing, Aominecchi.
no subject
What do you mean? How many childhood friends have you kissed and have had things turn out to be fine afterwards?

Stupid.
Holy shit.]
Aominecchi...she's not mad at you for the kiss you know? She's mad that you ran away.
[A snort.]
Like a coward~

Besides, Aominecchi- you may be a jerk, but you're more than that, too.

No I'm not. When's the first time you saw me care about relationships and shit like that? I wouldn't really know what to do.
