[That makes Tadokoro grin more, though he ducks his own head to try and muffle his laughter. His friend is great, so very great.]
He probably doesn't, but who knows? The kid's full of surprises sometimes.
[He really can't picture him dating anyone, much less being romantic. Manami's always struck him as the whimsical type anyway. But as he hears of Makishima's crushes, he leans forward, a curious smirk on his face.]
Really now... Like who, outside of those pretty celebrities from your magazines?
[God Tadokoro shut up. Can they please go back to talking about Manami's nightmare of a possible love life??]
I didn't invite you here to talk about that--! [Makishima hisses lowly, but he's not remotely threatening with the flush of color spreading over his face. He turns his head away, fingers tangling into his hair almost like he's trying to use it to shield himself. This is so goddamn embarrassing, and the fact that he can't mention any of his favorite gravure idols makes things even worse. Obviously there's been a handful he's been attracted to, had some hopeless crushes on one or two of his favorites, but actual people? Makishima's terrible with real people.
He hunches over, curling over the table as he mumbles quietly.]
