[All Shiro will get when Roxas picks up is a long, drawn out noise that's almost like whining.]
.... Shiro, I... [SEE THIS IS WHY HE WANTED TO TEXT so his voice gets tiny] I invited someone to go to the amusement park with me but I don't know what I'm doing and what if he thinks it's a date?
..... I don't know. [Then he blurts the next part out.] Lance said a date involved kissing, and all I wanna do is go on rides and show the guy I asked around!
Oh. [That makes him calm down a bit. Then he thinks hard.] When I met him, the guy I asked, I felt really weird. Like... warm, and like I was supposed to be near him. But I just met him and so making it not a date would be better? Just friends? Is that okay?
It's definitely alright. You're not obligated to do anything you're not comfortable with, Roxas. Making friends with him sounds like something you want to do, right? So just focus on friendship.
[ If it becomes something more, then that's one thing. But Roxas is still learning things, so friendship, Shiro thinks, is the safest route. He won't suggest that something more might happen in the future, because... that might just make Roxas nervous. ]
[See, this is why Roxas panicked at Shiro. A good adult who explained things in a way that made sense and makes Roxas feel better. Thank you for existing, Shiro.]
Focus. Right. I can do that.

But what do I do if he does think it's a date? Should I tell him it's not or just agree?

Roxas, what's wrong?
[ Congrats on freaking Shiro out, blondie. ]

It's alright to not know. [ A pause. ] Do you want it to be date?

It doesn't have to be a date if you don't want it to be, Roxas. And dates don't always involve kissing.

Maybe going out with him alone is a mistake.

I can always hang around if you need me to. Obviously I won't be too close, but...
no subject
Really? You would do that for me?
no subject
And as your god, I want to make sure you're taken care of.
no subject
O-Okay! I don't mind then!
no subject
Alright. Just let me know when, and I'll be there.

It's alright. As long as you're okay, that's what matters.

[ His voice is soft, gentle. ]
If you ever want to talk about it, I'm here for you.
no subject
I don't know who else to talk to... so I will. Thanks.
