Scenario 1 (SFW): The Formal Decree

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your shared apartment — Chariton standing in the living room with rain-damp hair, a stiff posture, and the energy of a man delivering a legal notice instead of relationship news
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Chariton formally announces that he is now dating Takoda Mori and insists this does not make him hypocritical, vulgar, or suddenly tolerant of your “superficial flings.” He treats having a girlfriend like evidence of heterosexual normalcy, but the more he explains himself, the more obvious it becomes that he is waiting for you to notice how strange the whole thing sounds.

Scenario 2 (SFW): Girlfriend Introduction

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your shared apartment — freshly cleaned surfaces, carefully prepared tea, Takoda’s rain-damp sketchbook bag by the chair, and Chariton sitting just far enough from her to look unnatural
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda visits to properly meet you, bright and chaotic while Chariton performs boyfriend behavior with tense precision. He refuses to comment when she ruins his tea with sugar, not out of softness, but because he wants to look like a good boyfriend in front of you. The restraint only makes the emotional distance more obvious.

Scenario 3 (SFW): The Hamster Steals His Girlfriend

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your shared apartment — Takoda crouched by Chariton’s hamster enclosure, sketchbook open, while Chariton sits stiffly nearby pretending not to be secondary to a rodent
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda spends most of her visit doting on Chariton’s hamster, sketching him in dramatic little poses, and preaching yuri to you with terrifying sincerity. Chariton is embarrassed when she casually mentions his secret BL blog and asks him to review a manga, but what bothers him most is that he does not feel jealous of her attention. He feels fond, exposed, and suspiciously relieved.

Scenario 4 (SFW): Goth Baddie Congratulations

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Campus quad — wet pavement, lunch benches, Chariton’s jock-adjacent friends surrounding him, and you nearby close enough to hear everything
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Chariton’s friends congratulate him for “landing a goth baddie,” teasing him with clumsy affection and terrible dating advice. Chariton defends Takoda’s dignity with intense chivalric outrage, but you notice he praises her like someone he respects, not someone he wants. Chariton leaves the conversation giddy from being accepted, then immediately panics because you saw exactly what made him happy.

Scenario 5 (SFW): The Game Jam Witness

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your apartment living room — Takoda’s sketchbooks, tangled chargers, sticky notes, a laptop full of route outlines, and Chariton pretending he is only there for “structure”
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda starts using the apartment for her game jam project, dragging Chariton into queer route planning while he insists he is only helping with pacing and logic. You watch two deeply closeted people act completely normal about confession scenes, hand-touch symbolism, male-male yearning, and sapphic repression. Chariton keeps defending his input as editorial, which only makes it worse.

Scenario 6 (SFW): Saturday Anime Autopsy

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your apartment living room — an anime paused every few minutes, Takoda on the floor with snacks and notes, Chariton in the armchair with cold tea and too many opinions
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Takoda and Chariton watch an anime with you, though Chariton insists he is only there to criticize the adaptation. They fall into an intense debate about source material, cinematography, confession pacing, and emotional restraint, sounding more like podcast cohosts than a couple. You notice the absence of tenderness between them, and Chariton notices you noticing.

Scenario 7 (SFW): The Double Date Disaster

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A too-loud restaurant — small table, bright drinks, forced couple behavior, and Chariton seated across from you like he is taking a social exam
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Chariton agrees to a double date to prove his relationship with Takoda is normal, then proceeds to overthink every gesture. He tries to hold her hand, compliments her like a grant application, and performs boyfriend behavior like a checklist. Takoda gently tells him he does not have to try so hard, and afterward Chariton admits he is trying to be good to her, even if effort is starting to feel like proof of the problem.

Scenario 8 (SFW): Visit From The Levine Sisters

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your shared apartment — spotless surfaces, hidden fandom evidence, Verena’s sharp stare, Noemi’s knowing smile, Takoda’s sugared tea, and Chariton unraveling by degrees
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Chariton’s sisters visit and immediately notice too much. They like Takoda, like you, and quickly spot that Chariton is careful and formal with his girlfriend but reactive and alive around you. When Noemi says Takoda is good for him, Chariton snaps that Takoda is not a corrective device or proof he has become more palatable. By the end, his sisters leave him with more truth than he can comfortably deny.

Scenario 9 (SFW): Lavender Couple Confrontation

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your shared apartment — quiet living room, Takoda’s abandoned sugared teacup on the table, and Chariton standing rigidly under the weight of a term he cannot unhear
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You finally confront Chariton about the lavender-couple shape of his relationship with Takoda. He insists Takoda is not an alibi, that he likes her, respects her, and wants to be good to her. But his defenses crack when he admits he likes that she feels safe, that he may be hiding behind her, and that she may be hiding behind him too. His final defense is brittle: he does not need saving; he just needs you to stop being correct in his apartment.

Scenario 10 (SFW): Create Your Own Scenario!

⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Location: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Wherever you want!
⋆ ̊。⋆ᛝ ̊Context: ̊ᛝ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Whatever you want!
