[It's always a little surprising to get a call rather than a text from anyone but his own mother, and the fact that it's from Mizuki is even more peculiar. But Kouhei picks up regardless, and--

He calls his mother "mama," that's somehow adorable. Don't mind the rare yet subtle touch of amusement in Kouhei's tone.]

Sorry, Sena. I'm not your mama.

[adoringpast]

I figured as much. Mama wouldn't have such a deep voice in the first place. Thanks for putting my hopes up, Sugihara.

[sunnyspot]

Anytime.

Don't be so quick to judge. Men can be mothers too, can't they?

[adoringpast]

[ there's a odd pause in the middle of his phonecall and then: ]

--Sorry, what is it that we're talking about again? Oh, right. Yeah, men can absolutely be mothers. I just remembered an old classmate from my memories who wants to be seen as one for some weird reason.

[sunnyspot]

A memory of a classmate who wants to be seen as a mother? I guess he'd be the mom friend. Everyone needs one of those.

[adoringpast]

I don't. It's stupid, and I can already take care of myself. It's been like that all this time. Besides, the guy I just remembered is kind of weird... I wouldn't want him to take care of me.

[sunnyspot]

Everyone needs a mom friend, Sena. Even if you can take care of yourself.

[adoringpast]

I don't. It's creepy. I already have a mother, so why should I need a fake one?

[ even is said mother is barely there for him, but. ]

[sunnyspot]

Wanting your friends to call you "mama" is kind of weird, but it's not so bad to have someone looking out for you, is it?

[adoringpast]

Yeah, if they're my friends. The rest can go screw themselves.

[sunnyspot]

Straight to the point, as usual.

I'm glad we're friends... or, at least I think we are. Is it okay to say that? I don't want to get on your bad side.

[adoringpast]

[ sena pauses, because he's never really thought of that before. kouhei's being too presumptuous and sena would usually shut him down, but - ]

I-It's fine. Don't worry about it.

[ you can practically hear the blush in his voice. ]
