Re: 1/16; Video
It's about that.
[Not her being a Goddess, but-]
Well, about how a couple of people have been trying to tell me the ways you know if you're in love with someone, and vice versa, or it's just because you're friends and I don't know any better because I'm an idiot.
[Self deprecation sometimes gets him through awkward moments.]

Yeah, you could say I know a thing or two...
So you want to know if you love someone, huh? Why don't you tell me about them? How you describe them tends to reveal.
no subject
[He mumbles it but is starting to think maybe if 3 people have said that, then it might have some merit. Maybe.]
Uhm, well, it's weird because... how I would describe him now isn't how I'd have described him when we first met. But a big part of that is because I have these fake memories - so I thought our first meeting was as kids, but it was only a couple of months ago. We finally started talking all of that out.
But ... okay, there's two big things that happened I guess.
[Aside from him dying and coming back and fighting and literally all of that huge mess he inflicted on himself. But two big things when it comes to this weird feeling he's got.]
One day we were hanging out and things just sort of... made me more relaxed, I guess? We started acting like we'd really known each other our whole lives, the way my fake memories were but better. Somehow that made me want to kiss him, but then I stopped when that made us both nervous.
So I backed off for awhile. Then we met up again and hung out at my place so he could recover from using powers and stuff, like the dunamis but even more. Anyway, he took a nap and I... napped with him? In my bed. When he woke up, both of us much calmer, we finished talking about my weird memories. I got really upset, but I knew I would, and he did too. After that it was like... I don't know, I didn't want a kiss, I just wanted to stay like that - I had my head in his lap and his hands were in my hair. And that was enough.
[He thinks the first is an example of love and the second one isn't, like he went from love to friendship.]

It's really hard, especially when memories are in the way. Things blur, and you're not sure what's real or what's not.
But what really helps is spending time with them and listening to your heart. It sounds like you've already done that. But maybe...give it some time, and spend time with him again?
Your hearts belong together, whether that's romantic or not. And if it's not now, it could be later. That's okay! Not all love is the same.
no subject
[Wants it, actually.]
But you really think I'll know later on what kind of... love is there?
[It's part of what Usagi said, so it kind of isn't as hard this time to think about loving friends as well as boyfriends/girlfriends, just in different ways.]
no subject
And you know the weird things that happen around our emotions here? That might just help too.
no subject
Thanks for the advice, Minako.

I don't know if I can wait that long... I'm not exactly known for my patience. This is pushing it as is.
