[Ah, shit. Although, really, Angeal was expecting for this to come sooner or later with him living with all the rest of them. It's been a good stretch considering that, really, although not unsurprising considering how this Sephiroth constantly needs to be out of the house and all that.]
[There's maybe a brief minute before an answer starts to carefully form along stone.]
It's been only a couple of years, at this point... but it didn't predate the sim, unfortunately. Maybe a lot of things would have changed for the better in that case.
You probably have a lot of questions. I'll answer what I can, although I might pass on a few things just because, well... I'm not the only person involved in all of this.
[The other Sephiroth, at the very least, would deserve a say, depending on the question.]
[There's a languid spiral of clamshell ripples down one side. Eventually:]
You are both adults and may choose to act as you wish, I merely want a good estimate for how much time I have to get used to the idea of touching anyone in that fashion.
It sounds as if I will have the better part of a decade, thankfully.
I may never meet your younger self. And if Portal doesn't erase my memories I am not sure meeting him knowing it'll end in that will help. I apologize if it is offensive but intimacy is repellant.
Refers to a saying about being in water, I can tell you about it later.
And it's fine. I think you'll meet me still. I'm pretty stubborn at all ages, and I think we'll always find you no matter what. Ask Genesis about this sort of thing next if you want a real romantic's point of view.
But you know, when you say 'intimacy is repellant', what kinds of intimacy are we talking about? Just physical?
I find it best to not plan for a future that may not occur. My other self seems to think it will be best if I never return at all.
If there are other kinds of intimacy, I have not been made aware of them. My education on the physical has been thorough. But if dancing counts, I'm not really into that either, though I can if I must.
Just don't want to get too off-track with a linguistic discussion, that's all.
And I can see why he would say that. Things get rough for all of us, and I won't pretend that our lives haven't been for the better now that we've all been far away from Midgar and ShinRa.
Still. Knowing you has always made any Angeal Hewley's life better, and I'll stick to that belief no matter what.
Knowing what I know of your life, I guess that's not too surprising. But romance isn't just about the physical. Emotional intimacy is more important than that by bounds, although they can tie together and often do.
[There's one word in this that has little daisies and sparkles drawn around it.
It reeks of scorn.]
My concern is the physical. ~*~feelings~*~ don't come with swapping bodily fluids.
Though it is not exactly pleasant to know everyone knows more about my life than I do, but nobody will tell me 'for my own good' with the exception that Angeal Hewley and Genesis Rhapsodos exist, and it is the only thing I have to look forward to.
It makes the trajectory of my existence rather clear.
[God. He really was so cute at this stage. Angeal is having flashbacks and it's a little hard to stay on track with those memories on him.]
[Right, right, focus.]
I can imagine. Although at least in my defense, it's more that I don't want to step on a certain someone else's toes. This concerns Sephiroth, after all - both of you. And I don't want him to feel like he's being ignored either.
They really don't teach you how to deal with this kind of thing in school, do they?
Although... I might be able to tell you about something else to do with your life. He might not be able to complain about the other futures that I know, too.
What will occur, besides this immediate issue, is less of a concern. I suppose it's only a matter of finding methods of desensitization.
[He is very much concerned about the fact that everything is being very carefully filtered and that it didn't bode well, but it's also true that the more immediate concern is being certain he doesn't get less than a month to prepare for exactly how gross human bodies could be. PRIORITIES.]
Glad to see that your priorities are in order. But I simply thought that since you were uncomfortable with people knowing about you, having a little information yourself might make you feel better.
Well, the offer is always on the table. You know where to find me if you ever have any other questions. I'll always be honest with you.
It's no problem at all. If you ever ask, I'll always do my best to answer the things that I know.
And awwwww. Even if it's bait, sometimes the end result isn't so bad, you know. I mean, people sometimes have to bait themselves into nice situations all the time. Makes doing annoying things all the more easier.
I'll have to prove that to you while we're all stuck living here, you know.

Written, late night of fae party.
Did it predate the simulation?
