[ in... retrospect, it's probably not the worst news gil has ever heard. (though, to be honest, oushi sort of gets the feeling any news is terrible news for gil—) in the grand scheme of things, certainly, there are worse fates to be delivered, and even worse people to be unwittingly paired with.

oushi doesn't even really know how much of gil's autonomy he values, or if the man even thinks he has any at all, but it still felt like the right thing to do in telling him. nobody should have to be saddled with a connection they never signed up for. ]


I'm fine.

[ he shrugs. that's just the truth of it, to be honest. gil isn't a bad guy, and oushi is pragmatic enough to recognize that imprinting does have its benefits. it doesn't make him want to go around imprinting with just anybody, after all, but even if his and gil's had been accidental, he finds it's not something he is all that upset by. ]

I don't dislike you, [ he thinks to clarify. somehow, gil's blatant self-deprecation makes it easier to admit such things out loud. oushi doesn't even feel all that embarrassed for it, which is a feat. ]

It just... y'know. Sucked that it happened without our consent.

[ that stuff is! important!! ... right? ]
