[The Strangers are awful, of course. He's killed his fair share, helped exorcise his share of them out of the mansion, not to mention visit Giorno too many times a day. He's tired. And he could complain to Jotaro, sure, they could rant and bitch together, but it's easier to think of something lighthearted.]
hey important question what does "luche de mi oche" mean?
[Or, for those of us who can write Italian: luce dei miei occhi.]
i could be spelling it wrong think you could translate it if you heard it instead?
[He doesn't wait for an answer: just switches to voice for a few seconds. Hesitantly, stumbling over the pronunciation, he repeats the phrase. It's a little closer than his attempts at transcribing it.]
yes yes i was i'm surprised you lasted this long actually
anyway it was
[He hesitates. He trusts Jotaro, both with his life and his secrets, but there's some things that ought to stay private.]
good it was good we took the boat out and i was teasing him and he was laughing i mean not just those little laughs but a real one and i was looking at him and i guess he figured it out then anyway so we went sailing and we talked a while and then he kissed me and then you know we kept going
this was like a week ago he wanted to keep it secret for a while or not secret but just to ourselves i hope you're impressed i sat on this for a WEEK
[He'd been about to make a joke-- something about competitions and both their boyfriends leaving them, because that absolutely would be what would happen-- but that second part requires a little more attention.]
you know i appreciate it but i didnt actually think that was gonna change, you know? i mean i really like him and i probably will talk to him a bunch same way you talk to kakyoin a bunch instead of me but you're always gonna be one of the first guys i go to with everything and anything you'll always be that i think
i guess i just get it better now, your end of things, what you were describing when it was me and kakyoin and you said it was different, when it's two guys dating and the third guy instead of a trio like before
that came out really weird
i guess what i'm saying is i'm glad we're both happy and nothing had to change
doesn't that seem weird? like things aren't supposed to work out that well for us but they did.
[On all of it. On being someone who's outside the relationship; on being terrified things won't work out and being a little stunned when they do.]
i know you will always you always have
[They haven't even known each other for a full year, he realizes. It doesn't lessen that statement in any way, but it's odd, having that kind of complete trust in someone you've only known nine months.
He hesitates for a bit, and then:]
he didn't want to at first because of what happens at home like just because shit always goes to shit at home means somehow it has to here too i mean that wasn't his reason but i don't know i'm just glad it didn't work that way i'm tired of the way it goes at home
yeah thats what i meant about us being good for each other i'm good at that getting people out of their own heads i mean that's the whole point of me for giorno in the future
i'm glad he doesn't know me from there i mean he does but not like giorno or fugo do it's easier he doesn't have any expectations
no subject
hey
important question
what does "luche de mi oche" mean?
[Or, for those of us who can write Italian: luce dei miei occhi.]
no subject
de mi is "of my"
oche is "geese"
...
wait i think luche is like...fight?
someone's telling you to fight geese?
no subject
no he is not
i could be spelling it wrong
think you could translate it if you heard it instead?
[He doesn't wait for an answer: just switches to voice for a few seconds. Hesitantly, stumbling over the pronunciation, he repeats the phrase. It's a little closer than his attempts at transcribing it.]
1/2

and we thought it was a stand but really it was just a fucking angry goose
no subject
ohhhhhh
someone's been flirting with you
...
......
someone's been flirting with you??????
no subject
actually someone's been doing a hell of a lot more than flirting with me
[He sends that out, smug and delighted, and lets it linger there for a few seconds before adding:]
but someone has also been tormenting me over untranslated flirty italian
he's being too smug
it can't go on
no subject
it means light of my eyes
don't let him know i'm helping you or he'll probably switch to some weird slangy dialect that i don't know
no subject
okay
good
yeah
that about fits the tone of the day
way better than fighting geese
no subject
SO WHAT HAPPENED ALREADY
no subject
yes i was
i'm surprised you lasted this long actually
anyway it was
[He hesitates. He trusts Jotaro, both with his life and his secrets, but there's some things that ought to stay private.]
good
it was good
we took the boat out and i was teasing him and he was laughing
i mean not just those little laughs but a real one
and i was looking at him and i guess he figured it out then
anyway so we went sailing and we talked a while and then he kissed me and then
you know
we kept going
this was like a week ago
he wanted to keep it secret for a while
or not secret but just
to ourselves
i hope you're impressed i sat on this for a WEEK
no subject
you kept going on the boat
or you kept going with the kissing
or both
no subject
i mean we didn't fuck or anything it's more like a raft than anything but
no subject
i'm over here trying to protect your feelings and not suggest a bunch of shit that might make you feel weird
and you're like nah we didn't fuck
just like that
i'm glad you're happy polnareff
no subject
i'll pretend i didn't tell you if you want
but yeah
i'm
it's good
i mean it's the first week of course it's great right now but even past that i think we'll be good for each other
no subject
...
so
does that mean i should stop swinging by in the middle of the night
no subject
which is listen carefully
and then knock
and then when no one answers pray a little before you burst in
no subject
if you want me to make kakyoin make more noise, all you have to do is ask
i'm still going to keep checking on you, though
that part i'm serious about
no subject
what
like
if i'm happy or whatever?
no subject
yeah, that
but also like if you're having a rough night i'm not just going to hang back and assume somebody else is going to be there for you instead of me
no subject
and my only ocean
you know i appreciate it
but i didnt actually think that was gonna change, you know?
i mean
i really like him
and i probably will talk to him a bunch
same way you talk to kakyoin a bunch instead of me
but you're always gonna be one of the first guys i go to with everything and anything
you'll always be that i think
no subject
...good, i'm
i guess i just get it better now, your end of things, what you were describing when it was me and kakyoin and you said it was different, when it's two guys dating and the third guy instead of a trio like before
that came out really weird
i guess what i'm saying is i'm glad we're both happy and nothing had to change
doesn't that seem weird? like things aren't supposed to work out that well for us but they did.
i'm glad we're still us
i'm glad we're never going to stop being us
i'm always going to be there for you
that's what i mean
no subject
[On all of it. On being someone who's outside the relationship; on being terrified things won't work out and being a little stunned when they do.]
i know you will
always
you always have
[They haven't even known each other for a full year, he realizes. It doesn't lessen that statement in any way, but it's odd, having that kind of complete trust in someone you've only known nine months.
He hesitates for a bit, and then:]
he didn't want to at first
because of what happens at home
like just because shit always goes to shit at home means somehow it has to here too
i mean that wasn't his reason but
i don't know i'm just glad it didn't work that way
i'm tired of the way it goes at home
no subject
reconciling the stuff we left behind with the stuff that's going on here
i'm glad he's letting you in, though
he never really does anything for himself, i don't think
on account of the stuff at home
no subject
thats what i meant about us being good for each other
i'm good at that
getting people out of their own heads
i mean that's the whole point of me for giorno in the future
i'm glad he doesn't know me from there
i mean he does but not like giorno or fugo do
it's easier
he doesn't have any expectations
no subject
