Why would you want to like someone like me?

[Really, Shu. Inori likes you. Isn't she a much better choice than him?

... and warding off that attempted kiss with an arm.]

Don't waste your time.

My feelings for you aren't a waste of time.

[He's not seeing it because he's too infatuated with Gai at the moment. Get back to him on that one.] I've always thought about you. [Okay so maybe that part's not a lie because Shu does consider what Gai would do. He's just saying all of that and he doesn't mean it. Shu will cry later.]

You're so strong and confident. I love you. [Shu's basically lowering his head and bowing down to Gai.]

Tell me what I need to do so I can gain your approval.

[And for a long moment after that confession, Gai just stares, not sure what to think or how to respond. He'd known that Shu looked up to him and wanted to be like him, sure, but that it was because of love and not just mere admiration... it comes as a shock to him. How long had he been blind to this?]

Shu...

[Gai has never been good with words in emotional situations. Instead, he decides to answer Shu's confession the only way he really knows how: by tilting Shu's face up towards his with one hand and leaning in...]

What do I need to do? [Shu's practically begging Gai for an answer. He sounds desperate and he might cry at any minute.

Gai's actions surprise Shu because he was so sure that Gai would tell try to tell him off again. He's not really sure what to make of Gai's movements because he doesn't understand them. Shu's stunned for the moment.]

Just shut up for a minute.

[That's what Shu needs to do. Gai will close the distance between them and... Shu is going to get that kiss that he'd been aiming for earlier, only it's probably going to be a lot more of A Kiss than anything he ever could or would have initiated.

Gai is no shrinking violet, after all.]

[He's satisfied with that answer and nods.

Shu's shut up completely because he doesn't want to destroy the moment. He worked for this! He returns Gai's kiss awkwardly because he doesn't know how to do this thing at all. Shu didn't think that far ahead.]

[Hopefully Shu has at least seen enough kissing in movies and TV shows to not be surprised when the tongue is introduced to the equation. If Shu likes him back, then Gai is going to go all-out with this kiss, because why not? Seize the moment and all that.]

[He's seizing it! Shu looks so unsure of what to do. Gai's using his tongue so does that mean he has to do the same? Shu thinks Gai won't kill him for using his tongue.

The boat ride just ended and they're both being escorted back into the line. Shu isn't really paying attention and he trips while coming out of the boat.]

[Leave it to Shu to ruin everything. Not that Gai is surprised; he'll just reach out with an arm to snag Shu around the waist and pull the shorter boy against him before he can fall. That klutziness is sort of endearing when he thinks about it, though.

Still, another mishap like that could be dangerous, so until they're safely out of the way, Gai is just going to scoop Shu up into his arms to carry him. Good thing Shu is so scrawny and short...]

This is exactly why I can't leave you alone.

[Elizabeth is, admittedly, bored out of her mind while she waits for Shu and Gai to return. But she's oddly on-edge, because she does want this interaction between them to go well. There had been so much fighting and animosity, Elizabeth hopes that she hasn't made it worse by insisting.]

[...Oh if only she knew.]

[When Gai appears, carrying Shu, Elizabeth's eyebrows come together in concern. Really? Shu had managed to hurt himself in a ride that consisted of sitting in a boat until it was over?]

What happened?

Stay near me, Gai.

[Shu leans in closer to Gai's face and kisses him to the best of his ability. He doesn't even take notice of Elizabeth until she calls out to them. Wow this is awkward.]

Uhm...we're just. [He doesn't even have the words to continue, but he's hoping Gai will.]

[Ooh, more kissing. Kissing is good, and Gai is happy to return it... that is, until he hears Elizabeth's voice.

Whoops. "Awkward" does not even begin to cover this.

Quickly he pulls away, trying to think of some kind of excuse for this that isn't going to make Elizabeth angry with both of them.

... yeah, he's got nothing.]

Elizabeth...

[When she said 'Have fun you two', she hadn't meant... this.]

[Elizabeth makes a noise halfway between 'What are you doing?' and 'I can't even' and 'This is the last time I eat cotton candy'.]

Gai! [Yes, there's the angry. But that's followed shortly by complete and utter discombobulation. Her brain catches up with her mouth, providing thoughts such as 'Gai punched Shu a few weeks ago' and 'Gai nearly punched another person because of this mix-up with the lines and begrudgingly went with Shu', in addition to 'Gai isn't this idiotic to kiss someone else right in front of you'.]

What... what is going on here? [Now she's just mystified.]

[Shu's still feeling madly in love with Gai...even though the boat ride ended. He's going to tell Elizabeth how he feels about Gai! Shu thinks this is the only solution.]

I confessed my love for Gai. I think he understands how I feel and that's why we're...[Holding hands and kissing like it's no big deal. Does he even need to say that part out loud? This sounds very unlike Shu and Elizabeth can notice that much already.]

I'm sorry. Gai, say something.

[That's a good enough start to make Gai feel a little less awkward about this whole thing. It's still weird, but not as much as it was before Shu explained what was going on. It hasn't even occurred to him that there might be more at work here than just love suddenly being in the air.]

I had no idea he'd felt this way about me for such a long time. I can't believe I never saw it, even after all of the time we'd spent together.

[Sorry, Elizabeth. Your boyfriend's brain is in another castle.]

What?

[Elizabeth is shifting from confusion to hurt rather quickly. Because as much as her logical brain is telling her that something is wrong, there's a very clear indication that Elizabeth is about to be left for the boy who couldn't go three minutes without apologizing for something.]

But... [She blinks, still too bewildered to cry.] ...but what about me? Don't you love me, Gai?

[Shu reluctantly moves away from Gai, giving him space and time to decide. He doesn't want to be left for Elizabeth, but he wants to respect Gai's decision.]

Answer her. This is your job, Gai. Just know that I love you too.

[WHAT WHY IS THIS HIS DECISION, that is totally unfair. Shu was the one who confessed to him, not the other way around!

Torn, he looks back and forth between the two of them. The Shift is warring hard with his real emotions, making this a hard question to answer.]

Of course I do. But I love Shu too. I can't deny my feelings for either one of you.

[Elizabeth is very, very close to hauling off and punching Shu ~~since it's her turn~~. 'Just know I love you too', how dare Shu twist Gai's arm like that?]

[...provided these feelings were real, and Gai is certainly treating them as such. She's still confused as to how this has happened in the span of four minutes, which is the only thing that's keeping her from falling apart completely outside the ride.]

Well I don't--! [Elizabeth is about to let Gai have it, let him know that she isn't going to 'share' Gai with Shu the Limp Noodle, when a familiar set of faces is carried off the ride, fully mounted on whatever that is. And Elizabeth knew the two of them hadn't said anything to one another while in line.]

[She looks at the lines, at the entrance again, and starts to formulate a hypothesis.]

I don't...! Know what to say! This is very sudden... Did you figure this all out in the boat?

[He gives Gai a look before nodding to Elizabeth. Yes, they figured out everything on the boat and within four minutes at that.]

I want to be with Gai-[Shu interrupts himself for a minute. There's a different name he's going to use here.]

No, Triton for the rest of my life. We've spent a long time together and I finally understood that what I felt towards Triton was love. [Shu's using "that name" for Gai. If Gai loved him then he wouldn't mind it being used here.]

Yeah, we did.

[He's about to ask how she knew that when Shu interrupts him and uses That Name. Suddenly Gai is a bit unsure about this whole thing. Being with Shu is one thing. Having his past and his old name brought up in front of Elizabeth? Not sure if want, even if he does love Shu.]

... I haven't used that name in years. It's no longer who I am. If you really love me the way you say you do, then you'll accept that.

[Well now. Four minutes for true love. That sounds very convenient.]

[Or it sounds like a shift, and Gai and Shu will be gargling mouthwash the second it wears off. The image nearly makes her laugh out loud, she has to bite her lip to keep it stifled.]

Well, I'm so glad the two of you worked it out. [She steps forward and takes their hands, putting them together in a dramatic gesture.] I knew the moment I saw you two together that it wouldn't be long. That's why I put you both on the boat, obviously.

[Then, she stretches up on her toes and puts a kiss on Gai's cheek.] Don't worry about me, Gai. I'm happy that you're happy, trust me.

Just do me a favor and don't start your relationship fighting, alright?
