...One day, you're gonna have to explain who that guy is to me.

[ is it his ex? a bitter rival? whoever that is must really turn sandalphon off immensely. hopefully it won't come to that, since izumi wants to make it work this time. ]

Oh, but don't worry. You won't be able to break out of it, even if you wanted to.

[ there's that smile again. he leans in to give a quick kiss to his boyfriend before turning around. ]

I'll go get what we need. Take off everything except your underwear. [ and there he goes, walking a little faster than usual to the closet out of sheer excitement. ]
