ㅤ "Life full of possibilities, yes! Friends just as important, and passions! But... you sure? Gonta think making family sounds nice too." ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤHe stammers in surprise, cheeks reddening at once. "V-Vanea! Oh-- Vanea's paws cold too. Here..." ㅤCupping her hands inside his, without any second thought, he blows on them gently. ㅤ

ㅤ "Well... if Kage say so, Gonta believe you. After all, life has more than romance to give!" ㅤ

ㅤ "Gonta believe in Kage, so Kage gotta believe in himself too!" ㅤ

ㅤ Brrrr... Blowing in his hands to warm them up. So chilly outside. ㅤ

ㅤ "Everyone worth the trouble, no putting yourself down like that!" ㅤ

ㅤ "H-Huh? Why not? Do Kage think he will never find love? But Kage is nice person!" ㅤ

// im thieving that AU bw is too good to pass

ㅤ ㅤA shiver ran up his spine when he mentioned cremation... but he shook off the feeling just as fast, focusing on the other, acquiescing to his request. "L-Leave it to Gonta. but umm... Kage mention no kin... do Kage not want to make family someday?" ㅤ

// love being fashionably late ✨️

ㅤ "O-Okay... right! Gonta will keep working hard to become nicest person like true gentleman, and not cause too many trouble to Kage. Umm, also... if Gonta can do anything to repay Kage's promise, just ask Gonta!" ㅤ

@gentlemologist.bsky.social Pass, I would be in pain.

ㅤ "Oh... umm... s-sorry! Gonta not mean to scare Chiaki, but Chiaki was lost in thought again, so... Gonta was asking if you okay?" ㅤHe didn't move an inch, keeping his gaze down on her, oblivious about how his method for catching her attention was somewhat ungentlemanly. ㅤ

S-Sorry... Gonta not smart, but Gonta think life not all about ultimate talent. If that how Izuru think... sounds lonely.

[ @gentlemologist.bsky.social ] Big bug boy. . . what a sweet pea!

Special means special, Gonta not understand what Izuru mean...

Everyone is special, ultimate talent or no ultimate talent.

That not nice, Izuru.

ㅤ He's so happy, he got a bag of jelly beans! ㅤ

ㅤ "Yes, Natsumi good friend of Gonta!" ㅤIt was heartwarming to see the young Yakuza had been managing to make friends albeit being a rude ice queen… Sonia seemed to be fond of her. ㅤTalking about Sonia, Gonta was impressed by her graceful mannerisms. They truly weren't cut from the same cloth. >>

ㅤ "That... true? Kage think so? But-- Gonta not a good person... did very ungentlemanly things, and get angry too. Gonta no want to turn into violent spirit!" ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤHis plate looked more of less like a mixed pile unlike Sonia's elegant presentation, but from his point of view; nothing wrong about it. Indulging in food was the gentleman way to show appreciation towards the chefs' hard work… at least that's what he believed. "Oh… Gonta understand… okay." >>

ㅤ "Mhm! Thank you for listening to Gonta! Makes Gonta relieved knowing he won't hurt anyone, even after death..." ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤHe furrowed his brow, questioning why she was reticent about allowing me to see the castle's library. "Off-limit to Gonta…?" ㅤThen again, perhaps it was merely due to it containing confidential documents not meant for the commonfolk... or perhaps she was worried he would damage her books. >>

ㅤ "Why Gonta smelling smoke...?" ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤPerhaps it was due to a lack of knowledge about the insect itself, or perhaps it wasn't one she encountered roaming in her gardens before, but it seemed she didn't know more than he did about it, that was unfortunate... "Oh... um, yes, no worry. Gonta will keep beetle in cage." >>

ㅤ "--!!! Gonta see first snowflake!" ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤIf Kage was being sarcastic about the house actually being haunted or not, it didn't matter much. Gonta still took his words at face value, nodding. "Really? Kage save people from bad spirits, that good!" ㅤHe was pleased to hear this. Soon after, he frowned, pondering for a brief instant. >>

ㅤ ㅤThe concept of death wasn't one he was bothered with, surprisingly. He had seen his fair share of world's cruelty in the wilderness, no one can escape the grand flow. ㅤGonta used his sleeve to wipe his face and regain a semblance of composure, staring blankly at the floor, lost in thoughts. >>

ㅤ "Oh! Do Reikuro like wearing baggy suit? But, umm... that not how you tie tie--" ㅤ

ㅤ "Yes! Izuru know Gonta so well!" ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤHe scooted over, leaving enough space for Kage to join him on the couch, before handing him a handful candy of various sort. "Gonta can't wait to see what movie is about!" ㅤAnd thus the movie session began, Gonta politely kept quiet, but it didn't take long to get engrossed by the story. >>

ㅤ "Yes! Gentlemen do lots of nice things, must be courteous, smartest and strongest people. Gonta do his best to be just like true gentleman." ㅤAs she indicated they had to leave, the entomologist nodded in agreement, following along by her side towards the exit without any delay. >>

‎ riot. most of these will likely be nc but i like having fun anyways ‎

ㅤ Nope, nope, nope, he is NOT looking, not taking even a peek... what would people say if he got caught ogling???? ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤUpon showing interest for his catch, the entomologist happily brought his bug cage forward, to show it off to his new acquaintance. "Yes, Gonta make lots of bug friends, like this one!" ㅤHe was relieved to see the maiden wasn't scared of him. He was more used to being greeted with fright. >>

‎ ‎ 𝚂𝙾𝙵𝚃 — a solo written by riot . ‎ ‎

ㅤHis choice of attire was… certainly peculiar. It was meant to make him look more gentleman-like, but so many things clashed with the rest. The gentle giant may be wearing a suit, but it was a bit too tight for him. ㅤThough, his most blatant quirk was the lack of footwear amidst everything. >>

ㅤ ㅤTaking in the autumnal scenery as he was on the hunt for bugs, Gonta had not expected to run into a fellow nature enthusiast so far deep in the forest. ㅤBefore he could approach her, something caught his attention in the corner of his eye; a rare bug specimen he hadn't yet to meet in person. >>
