"Ugh, you're just playing devil's advocate now, and it's giving me a headache," Nico grumped. They're obviously at a standstill about this.

He goes silent for a minute, trying to think of a way to explain it. "It sucked. I got shot at with arrows until I admitted it." He knows he's right, and he is a lot more comfortable with himself now that he admitted it out loud and made friends who are also not straight, which was why he was comfortable saying it to Gokudera.

But Eros/Cupid was a dick. And he's never going to forget that.

He looked around, humming thoughtfully. "This is actually a bit of a vacation. Existitinal crisis aside."
