A-ya looked at C-ta, curiosity shining in red orbs. It was further proved by the cock of his head, raven locks hanging slightly to one side. He waited for a response, patiently but often shifted from one foot to the other.
The reply caught his attention, and he perked up slightly. It was more of a confused stutter, but it was something none the less. It occurred him that perhaps this wasn’t the nicest thing to just come up with, and it might be a time he actually upset C-ta.
When was the last time he did upset C-ta? He couldn’t remember, but now his curiosity had gotten the better of him. Lowering his head, a red blush met his pale cheeks clearly showing embarrassment for the question himself.
Truth be told, he didn’t think much of sexuality. It didn’t matter much to him, nor did he care much about it. Urban legends and rumors were more of his interest.
“I-I think the sexuality.” He murmured, stuttering slightly. He mentally slapped himself for being so dumb, but knew he couldn’t turn back now. “You don’t h-have to answer, it’s f-fine if you don’t want to.”
C-ta felt worry flow through him as he saw A-ya’s changing expression, noticing how he seemed upset. Had he done something wrong? Oh god, he hoped that wasn’t the case.
“ Oh, uh... Well... I- I guess I don’t know? I mean... I-... “
He didn’t want to say that he loved A-ya. He wasn’t even sure if it was love love or if it was just him wanting to- no, NEEDING to protect A-ya. He was everything, after all. He had spent so much time with him, making sure he was safe, and learn his little quirks. Of course, it had come with a lot of trial and error, but that was fine.
It’s not like his actions would HURT anyone.
“ ... Sorry. I’ve never really thought about it that much. But, hey... How about you? It’s only fair if I ask you the same thing, isn’t it? “
C-ta smiled, getting curious. He never knew how A-ya felt towards any gender, so hearing what he had to say would be interesting. He just hoped he hadn’t stepped into his personal space by mistake. They’d known eachother for 10 years though... It wouldn’t be that big of a deal! Right?
