❰ fear not, for tamaki takes pity on those so hopelessly lost at sea. ❱
Do you have more reason to believe that his heart lies elsewhere, other than he has a roommate he knows? By that logic, my living with the twins would be suspect.
❰ oh my god...way to bury the lede, zuko. time to back up all the way to the beginning here. tamaki gives zuko a very serious face, though it comes with a healthy dose of concern. ❱
Zuko. Do you truly find it worth it, then, to pine over someone who you know likes someone else? And who may not be able to forget them and like you in return? ❰ it's a very genuine question. ❱ Is this the path your and your heart are destined to take?
❰ tamaki blinks before he tilts his head to the side, full on golden retriever-mode. after a moment he uses his free hand to tap the side of his head. ❱
I think I may have gotten a bit of tea in my ear somehow. I thought this conversation was about romantic love, but I think I've heard wrong.
❰ with a wide, assuring smile, ❱ I have quite a many friends, but when it comes to love — I don't think there's room in a heart for more than one person. So you must be talking about friendship, after all!
no. not interesting. horrific. but very, very hard to process. he is a man (well, teenage boy) of honor, and to think that he is known as...a floozy!? an easy marauder of hearts and beds...!
how many people think this of him? where has this information come from? is this the image that he portrays to the public in this twisted world? but wait...is this the image he portrays to people back home? has no one thought to tell him that he comes off as a trollop?
all of these thoughts are vocalized by a very high pitched sound, like tea coming out of a more-than-ready kettle. ❱
has no one thought to tell him that he comes off as a trollop? guriwhsjk
[ Zuko just... waits... for Tamaki to compose himself, glancing highly uncomfortably from side-to-side after a few seconds. Uh-oh. Something feels off. He can't put his finger on it, but this isn't right. ]
❰ it's a good 30 seconds of steam noises before tamaki finally, mechanically, looks at his hands, and it's as if his line of sight triggers them to start moving like crazy.
then his face shoots upwards, looking at zuko with hyper-focused eyes. ❱
Where in the world would you get this ridiculous idea? It's a fallacy...a complete fabrication!
I am an expert host! An expert on the image of others, and how to connect them with true love!
❰ more gesticulating as he flails his forearms up and down wildly, trying to convince zuko that this is simply a misunderstanding! a very vulgar misunderstanding! ❱
I'm an expert on nothing else, I swear to you! ❰ oops, accidental self-own. ❱
Based on experience! That's what I'm asking you for! Your expert experience! I've only ever loved one person, and it was a girl I've known since childhood — I don't know how to love a boy, especially if he loves someone else! But obviously it's possible! How do you do it?!
I don't have any idea what you're truly asking me how to do, but I'll let you know that I can offer no advice on anything that would require an audio censor or mosaic overlay!
❰ he's really hung up on the fact that zuko thinks he's a sex fiend. ❱
At all! How does it even make sense to be attracted to every person on Earth, Zuko? He's fed you vicious lies! I'll put him in the corner for a whole week for this stunt!

[ He says this more quietly, more flatly, gaze tossed aside awkwardly. ]
A friend of ours... Of his. From home. Who's here. ...And they live together.
