Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Chiming away for a moment
Chiming away for a moment
Koa snorts derisively; a lot to think about is a bit of the understatement of the year, but he appreciates that Kai finally seems to get that he can't just run off and ferry Flora into the sunset. Turns out adult relationships don't always work out quite as well as the fairytale ones, and things get exponentially complicated the more people are involved.
Or, yeah, don't date besties. Koa barks a laugh at this suggestion, some of the tension in his shoulders dissipating into weary exhaustion as he shakes his head. "That would have been a helpful suggestion two years ago," he chuckles wryly, scrubbing his hand across his face. Back before he'd been stupid enough to fall halfway in love with each of them, too young and naive and ruled by hormones to realize the messy minefield he was creating for Future!Koa to navigate.
If that's not young adulthood in a nutshell, I don't know what is.
Clapping a hand on Kaisel's shoulder, he offers his cousin a tired smile. "C'mon, I'm starving. Let's grab some burgers and we can work on coming up with how you'll impress Safrin and not talk about my love life for a bit, eh?" Especially given the titanic levels of mess it was about to reach.
