[ they're in separate rooms, in the same house, and yet— he ends up calling aki around 3:00 am. seriously, denji and his odd-hour calls. he shouldn't be allowed to have a cell phone; it's too much power.
once aki picks up, he's quick to interrupt- ]
I have a question, and I think you're kinda smart enough to answer it.

... so that's normal between friends? to kiss them on the lips?
[ it felt odd— but okay? if that's something everyone is agreeing to, denji won't complain. he hums, trying to get those brain juices flowing. ]
I thought that was something reserved for lovers only. Or, someone you're actually attracted to.

It's not normal, but it's not something that's never happened before. Some people are comfortable with just kissing their friends.
[ He... Isn't, really, but that's because he had anticipated saving romance for one person. That thought has quite recently shrivelled up and died a painful, gunpowdery death. ]
Kissing is normally saved for people you love, but people kiss for other reasons.

What other reasons?
[ if it's not love— then what might it be? denji won't express it's something that has been bothering him for a while, but it is. for some reason being in this village made him feel so — out of touch. everyone seemed to be finding their way just fine, while he was still trying to figure out the basics and fucking up along the way.
he's lowkey sick of it. ]

To say hello, sometimes. Or because they're not in love, but because they still want to have sex.
[ This... Doesn't feel like a conversation he should be having with Denji, but who else is going to do it? It doesn't feel right to let anyone else do it. ]
Kissing can be a way of showing affection.

... Okay.
[ affection. showing affection— without the intention of asking for sexual favors, but it's still somehow a form of intimacy because it's reserved for specific individuals. denji is certainly not yearning to smooch every 'friend' he made so far, only a few. very few.
why them, though? why not the others? it's fucking confusing. ]
This is so hard.

Well, yeah. It's why I'm asking ...
[ considering how he fucked up big time with aurora and apparently pissed off her roommate as well— he's not sure he should do anything to risk his friendship with the others.
he's trying to learn here. ]
But, after talking to you ... I think it would be easier to save it for someone you actually want to date and fuck.

[ it's been a few hours since that information slithered inside his brain, but it certainly took its sweet time before it presented itself; rattling denji in ways he never thought possible. which is why he felt obligated to walk towards the bathroom door, where aki was enjoying a warm bath, and started knocking hard.
that's all the warning he will get before denji turned the handle and invited himself in. i mean— the nsfw parts are hidden under the foamy water since aki demands to bathe like a princess every single night. so, really, it's fine. they can both pretend no one is naked here.
more importantly, denji looks absolutely confused and goes straight into it. ]
Are you gay?!

[ Aki should’ve known that he wouldn’t be able to enjoy even something as simple as a bath with Denji around, but it had been at least ten minutes and it had felt almost peaceful. Breathing out, he sinks a little further into the hot water, enjoying it, until -
All good things come to an end
Scowling, he’s about to shout at Denji when the question comes tumbling out, and then he’s staring with an open mouth, as if he wants to get out and knock some sense into him. ]
What the fuck are you talking about? Get out!

Your conversation! Here!
[ he holds his phone up to the other's face, not that it shows anything specific, but it's a clear hint denji is referring to the brief exchange with a certain white-haired man. it's unlike aki to lie about something like this, or speak of it lightly, so if it's true— then he should be honest about it.
he takes in a breath, shoving the phone back into his pocket as if he proved a point. with both hands on his hips, denji raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes to the side. ]
Fucking hell. You're going through it, huh? Being sad made you switch sides so fast. This is getting really serious ...
[ how is he supposed to help aki now? this is turning into mission impossible. ]

What, you -
[ Aki looks over the conversation again and sighs, shaking his head. He should’ve known that this would come and bite him in the ass, but he didn’t think it would be this soon. There goes his peaceful, enjoyable bath, and he shifts a little as he makes himself a little more comfortable.
Sitting up a little, he scowls at Denji. ]
I didn’t switch sides, you idiot. I didn’t ever have a side.
[ Rubbing his face, he pushes Denji back a little. He can’t really get out of the bath with him being shouted at, but he’ll have to deal with this. It’s not like he can go anywhere else or do anything else, because he knows Denji would just follow him around. ]
I’ve always liked men and women.

[ and denji didn't budge, not even an inch— he kept staring the other down, almost in a condescending manner from this perspective and it got even worse when his features twisted into genuine annoyance. this is a tasteless joke, even for someone as crude as denji. this is turning into a bizarre day.
alright, but this is aki. the guy can be many things but he's not a flat-out liar or someone who would openly ridicule his friend's intelligence to this extent. yet, he's dropping a really big confession all of a sudden— one that makes no fucking sense to denji at all. so, yes, he's annoyed. ]
... really?
[ oh, they're actually doing this right now. the echo between the bathroom walls is making this conversation even more unserious. ]
How can someone love dick and peaches at the same time?!

[ This really isn’t the place for this kind of conversation, and Aki is getting more and more annoyed. He’s totally vulnerable here, naked and stared down. He doesn’t really think that Denji would do anything to really push him over the edge, and he scowls a little harder.
This isn’t where he’d have this kind of conversation - he wouldn’t have one at all if he could choose - and he motions to the towel hanging nearby. At least then he can get out and away from the rapidly cooling water.
Give him a towel. ]
Yes, really!
[ Moron, idiot- he’s clearly unhappy. ]
The same way you can like pudding and chocolate!
