It's like something out of H.P. Lovecraft, only gay (c) LK
“Hey.” Kitagawa looked up at Douno with his head still on his knees. “Say ‘thank you’.”
Douno wondered what in the world this man was saying. Besides, words of gratitude were not things you forced out of people. Nevertheless, Douno bundled all of the past kindnesses Kitagawa had given him until now, and said, “Thank you.”
“You know, you have so many different ‘thank you’s,” Kitagawa said. “While you’re crying, or laughing, or sometimes looking a little worried.” He kicked up the dirt on the field with his heel. “Do normal people usually say ‘thank you’ so much?”
“Normal people?”
“Shiba said you were a normal guy. But nobody’s ever said ‘thank you’ to me much before.”
How old is Kitagawa? Douno thought. He was twenty-eight, if memory served him correctly. He was far into adulthood, yet spoke like a child barely of age. Douno did not know how to answer him.
“It feels good when you say ‘thank you’ to me,” Kitagawa continued. “I want you to say it more. Will you? I promise I’ll do more things to make you happy.”
It was absolute nonsense.
“That’s not right,” Douno said. “You don’t give kindness and consideration to get words in return.”
“I don’t care about the emotional stuff. You just have to say ‘thank you’ to me and it’ll be fine. I put money in the vending machine like I should, don’t I?”
Я даже не знаю, что страньше. Логика этого самого Китагава, или тот факт, что я её понимаю =__="
