Naru gives a soft snort. He thinks about it for a moment and decides to just go for it:

"Are you ever gonna tell him how you feel?"

[oneblackcat]

Of course Naru would know. Omi didn't even have to tell him.

"...Do you think I should?" The very idea is sort of terrifying.

[plastiqc4]

"Hm. Well, if he doesn't feel the same way, it might get awkward," Naru says bluntly.

"Er, not that I know he doesn't. He's a little...unaware generally of things like this, if you know what I mean."

Not just of his own attraction to guys (of which Naru is fairly certain), but about his feelings in the romance department at all.

[oneblackcat]

Yeah, and that was the rub, wasn't it?

"I don't want to make things awkward for our group," Omi presses his forehead against the railing.

"It's dumb, right? If it were someone outside our circle, I'd totally go for it... Why is it easier with the people you aren't tight with?"

[plastiqc4]

"Obviously because you don't wanna sabotage what you've already got and risk not being friends with them at all," Naru says bluntly. Hey, as a friend, it's his job to let him know what's at stake.

"At least for a little while, anyway. You want me to feel him out? See what's going on in that head of his? Maybe send some suggestions, subtly of course."

[oneblackcat]

Omi's stomach twists a little at Naru's suggestion, and he grimaces. It's a kind gesture; it's just not one he can comfortably accept.

"No... Thanks, but I'm not dragging anyone into my stupid crush drama. I can talk to him myself or suck it up."

And Omi knows himself well enough to guess which of those it'd be.

[plastiqc4]

And Naru knows too, which of those will likely happen. Well, it's not the worst thing ever. Eventually, Omi will find another crush and move on. Ken will just be...Ken, and maybe one day he'll slam face-first into a relationship. He has a feeling that's how things go with the guy.

"All right. Maybe you could date around instead, casual like. Find a bad boy who can get your mind off of things."

[oneblackcat]

At that, Omi gives a low laugh.

"A bad boy, huh? Yeah, I should. Then my transformation into an anti-Nii-san will be complete."

There truly just wasn't a point in trying to emulate perfection, after all.
