[ We're not even going to think about the rage that the event gave him.

Instead, let's backtrack to a couple of days ago--It was a rainy and dreary day, and wandering around getting wet outside probably wasn't the best idea for his health, so he decided to turn in early. But what greeted him when he returned to his humble abode was a familiar cat, sitting on his doorstep looking like he owned the damn place.

Fast forward to today. Souji's kind of got the gist of this journal thing. People use it like a posting board and sometimes open it at the most inconvenient times and say things that are pretty embarrassing. That can be used to his advantage, right?

So when his cat's asleep, he'll lounge next to him, journal open. Oh and he totally dropped it on the floor by accident and that's why it's open conveniently next to him, recording. Right. Everything he says is a complete accident!! ]

Heheh, you're cute when you sleep, Toshizo.

You're always so irritating and giving me bad looks when you're awake. But like this, when you let me pet you... I realize how soft you are, and how peaceful you can be... and even I can calm down a little.

[ A little pause before he chuckles again. pokan the nose... ] So cute. ♥

[....

da fawk

what are you even...]

...Souji-san?

[voice]

[gohon]

[ oh look who it is ]

Hi, Hayate-kun.

[its_storytime]

[At first, Varric's about to say something snide about this strange guy finally loosening up and getting a girlfriend (Boyfriend? Eh, he doesn't get these foreign names). But the talk about "petting" and "softness," while often used in that context...this seems to be a particular sort of case.]

Sharing your bed with something fluffy, huh?

[voice]

[screwthegods]

[Oh, but that name coming from the other Okita? Clearly Homura has to ask.]

You must have a difficult relationship, if he only allows you to be close when he's asleep.

Part Deux

[jewitch]

[She hasn't heard this person in a while. Wonder what he's...

Oh. Oh my.]

You're...watching him sleep? Watching him sleep and crooning lovingly...while he's asleep?

[That's...slightly creepy, dude.]

[voice]

[whimsicalwinds]

H-hello, Souji-san! Ah, um... What are you doing...?

[Hayate doesn't know Souji's talking to a cat. He's starting to think that Souji is some creepy pervert right now.]

[voice]

[gohon]

[ Of course! That's why he's taking this opportunity to mess with him! Everyone, rather. ]

Spending time with a precious someone.

[markofthewise]

By now it's pointless to tell you that everyone can hear you, right?

[gohon]

That's right.

[ Petting Toshizo... wow Varric I hope you don't give it away!! ]

[voice]

[gohon]

Mm... Now that I think about it, it is a pretty complicated relationship.

oh boy

[gohon]

Yup. That's right.

[ Not even a hint of embarrassment in his voice! Because this is normal when you have a cat. ]

[gohon]

Ahah, oh, they can? [ Snerk! ] Oops!

[ But doesn't sound bothered at all nope. ]

[voice]

[whimsicalwinds]

And you're... petting her and broadcasting it over the journals...?

[wow Souji. Woooow. That's just a little weird. And the things you were saying were rather creepy too uh.]

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Not exactly a... flattering first impression.

[its_storytime]

[Don't worry Souji, he won't tell anyone you're capable of feelings. Yet.]

Someone who followed you from home, I take it? Or did you spend the last month bonding?

Re: [voice]

[screwthegods]

Yet you maintain it, despite the complications. That says a great deal about your devotion.

[jewitch]

[And yet amazingly, she doesn't know Toshizo is a cat yet.]

...Correct me if I'm wrong, but...[Because, different worlds and all, even though he seemed a little...unhinged to begin with...] Isn't that the sort of thing that stalkers do?

[Are you a stalker, Souji? If yes, why is she talking to you again?]

[voice]

[onifukuchou]

[What the fuck is this, who are you, why are you saying creepy things about him on the network 8|]

Is this some sort of joke?

[voice]

[gohon]

Him. [ Correction. Toshizo is a boy cat. ]

Oh, I didn't realize it until now. [ And it sounds like "Tehe!☆" is added on at the end. Yup. ]

[gohon]

Followed me from home. It might be easier without him around, but it's not bad like this, either.

[voice]

[gohon]

Ugh, Homura-san. I'd rather you didn't put it that way.

I just think he's cute. [ pet pet pet pet ]

[gohon]

Stalking? No. I'm in my own house. [ duh get with the program ]

[gohon]

Mm, that's too bad, it seems.

But it's nice to meet you, anyway.

[voice]

[gohon]

[ oh delicious ]

No? I'm quite serious.

[voice]

[whimsicalwinds]

"Him?"

[...]

I-I see... so you're that kind of person, Souji-san... [Well. As long as he's not like Kotetsu. But watching this Toshizo guy sleep... uh.] Are you some sort of stalker...?
