[Like he was going to pick the latter, but he had to try.]
Mm, how about . . . ah!
[He leans in on one elbow, a suitably flirtatious expression coming to his face.]
Mon amour pour toi est aussi grand que le monde. That's like saying you love him more than the entire world. Or . . . Ton amour est aussi précieux que l’or. That's comparing your love to gold.
[In fact-- he reaches over, taking Kakyoin's hands in his own. Eyes sincere, expression earnest, heart so clearly swelling with love--!]
Que mes baisers soient les mots d’amour que je ne te dis pas, Kakyoin.
Yeah, I guess. I think everybody's got a stupid talent like that, though. You know? One of those things they can do that most people can't, like-- I don't know-- cracking all the joints in their body or something.
You should, it's worth watching. I've won a ton of bets that way.
[A beat-- and then:]
You don't use the straw to drink, it's to let air in-- so that way you don't have to stop, you just keep drinking. And shotgunning a beer, I can do that-- but that's not a special talent, anyone can do that.
It's the best way to make friends when you're at a party and you don't know anybody! You shout look what I can do, and everyone does, and then they're impressed, and then suddenly you've got like ten more people who want to talk to you!
But if you're at that kind of party-- like, where everybody's buzzed, and it's all sex and drugs and alcohol, and there's a lot of music, the kind you feel in your chest-- then yeah, that's pretty much it. I mean, I don't know if I'd say that's how you make friends, but it's a way to be-- I don't know, social? in that kind of situation, where somebody isn't going to just approach you.

It's versatile-- there's no good translation for it, but it's just one of those things you hear a lot. Now--
[Okay, he knows how to say his name and if he's okay, so that's pretty much the basics right there.]
Romantic or dirty? I'll give you a choice.

I still don't understand when he decided trying to fit five cigarettes in his mouth was a trick worth practicing. [OR THAT, FOR THAT MATTER]

Date: 2016-05-15 12:18 am (UTC)Well, I mean. It is kind of impressive. It's a good bar trick when you can do it with just one.

If I have a straw, I can chug 20 ounces of beer in about twenty seconds.

Look, when you get to university and go to a frat party, you'll see.
[When, and it's deliberate, though he keeps the sentence light. And just in case--]
Do they have fraternities in Japan?
