---

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: For the record.. it's less 'girlfriend' and more 'it's complicated'.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: that's fair!

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: He still has a thing for Ladybug (complicated by not knowing who she is out of henshin), I have no idea what Neph and I are (save for hella spark) and we clearly have a thing for each other. Complicated!

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: there are so many songs about that

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: you should just date them both not-steady or whatever. and adrien should just do the same with you and ladybug

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Apparently Ladybug turned him down, but he still carries a torch.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: ... thats regrettable but i guess if she changed her mind it would suck more to already be dating and then suddenly have him morosely conflicted

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: But yeah, hopefully Neph (I should start calling him Masato I suppose.. but for whatever reason, he's always Nephrite in my head) is cool with that? Or .. I have no idea. He and I really need to actually get to know each other.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: And yes.. it would suck more.. but Adrien and I are good (mostly) at talking things out.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'm gonna have a tough time calling any of them but kazuo by their given names

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Thank goodness, it's not just me.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: no not at all

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: If you're talking to Neph, tell him the offer to go for coffee is still there. Whenever he's up for it.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but i mean i also knew them that way back then, and then for two and a half years here and now. i feel like that's their real names, you know? but that's not fair, because they might want to call me endymion or hematite. which i'd answer to, for sure

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: will do

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Endymion doesn't come to my mind for you (yet), but Hematite .. yes. And Mamoru for sure.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: And mercifully, we can all put the Darien era behind us. :)

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: haha, they used to call me endy... i would honestly welcome that from them. oh god yes

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: From others too, or is it special to them? (and presumably Usagi?)

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: It's not special to them but Usa has her own name for me XD

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: I expect she has a few special names for you. :) <3

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: hahahaha i would never say XD

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: I don't want to know! :) XD

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: XD XD XD

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: (Although it was funny as all get out to watch Adrien's brain explode when you called me his girlfriend)

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: like *while he had his arm around you* it was epic

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Right!? Priceless. You're also not the first to assume we were dating.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: who else did? and was it in front of him

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Chrono, and yep.. asked the pair of us together. XD Even I was mostly in denial still. Ish.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: But between Adrien being worried while I was at the Gates of Time, and then him getting the full brunt of a post-mirroring me.. I'm not surprised Chrono assumed we were a pair.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: you got mirrored again?!

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Yeah. It was by accident, but it still /sucks/. I'd rather be unconsicous than paralysed being drained and watching through the faceting.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: wtf thats nightmare fuel, wtf wtf wtf

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: how was that an ACCIDENT?

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: zero stars, do not recommend. Although I managed to neither cry nor fall over afterwards, so I am getting better at coping. (Or I had a Chat Noir holding me up)

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i would probably cry D:

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Firefly had a mirror that she was doing someething with and accidentally pointed it at me.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: oh no, poor firefly too then

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Cry is legit. Its truly nightmare fuel. I coped better with small spaces and being restrained before I got mirrored the first time, I expect it's worse now.

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Yeah.. Firefly felt really bad.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: she's a good kid in a bad situation

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Rashmi took her out for lunch after they freed me.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i'm glad shes socializing more outside of obsidian

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: I'm glad too. I don't think I know her when she's not Firefly, but I might.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i have no idea if you know her outside of henshin. i mean i couldnt tell you if you did but i honestly have no clue

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: As I'm always me, I just assume that anyone who wants to fess up, will. If they don't, that's cool.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: yeah i remember :)

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: It's amazing how many people that confuses.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: humans like patterns

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: You know that only covers like about half of the students, right? XD

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: chrono also likes patterns

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: anyway i think you can be a human alien

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: I think more than just humans like patterns.

(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: why not both?

(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: That's what I tried to say, but text inflection ate it. Everyone likes patterns.
