âAw, Yu!â Alma Karma sang out suddenly. âYou like Y/N, donât you?â
âShut up,â Yu Kanda hissed. âKeep your voice down, do you want the entire Order to find out?âÂ
âYou arenât denying it!â Alma gasped, raising his hands to his mouth in shock. âI never thought Iâd see the day! Devil Yu really does have feelings!â Kanda glared daggers at him.
âOh, I have plenty of feelings,â he spat venomously. âCurrently, Iâm feeling rage because you wonât shut the Hell up.âÂ
âNo need to be so cranky, Yu,â Alma replied casually, totally unaffected by his friendâs cruel tone. âHave you told them yet?â
âOf course not,â Kanda said, looking suddenly very exhausted. âWhy would I?â Alma shook his head, eyes wide as his jaw dropped.
âWhy would⌠Thatâs a dumb question! You can be so stupid sometimes,â Alma quickly cut off whatever retort Kanda had on the tip of his tongue. âMaybe they like you back? How would you ever know if you donât tell them your own feelings?â
âIâm not stupid,â Kanda growled. âAnd I donât care about their feelings. I personally believe this is a total hindrance, and I donât wish to pursue it.â Alma smiled pitifully at Kanda, patting his shoulder. Kanda shook his hand off.
âYouâre just being shy. Thatâs okay! Thatâs what Iâm here for! I wanna help you, Yu!â Alma splayed his hands out in the air, waving them in front of Kanda as if he were unraveling a scroll on a table. âOkay, hereâs my thought: Show off ourâer, specifically yourâincredibly abilities as, you know,â Alma stopped and used one of his hands to gesture to Kandaâs chest. âYeah, you know. The next time you two get assigned a mission together, show them that youâve got their back. Nothingâs more romantic than knowing that someoneâs got your back, always, no matter what, and that will keep you safe and protected!â
âNo,â Kanda replied bluntly.Â
âHrm, fine, but at least keep that one in mind,â Alma tapped his chin in thought before his eyes lit up. âA-ha! I know! You could stay classic and traditional and get them some flowers! I know you like those sorts of things.âÂ
Kanda just sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. âPlease just stop talking.â To his dismay, Alma did not, in fact, stop talking.Â
