Fics like Say So

It seemed to bother Tokito that he couldn’t come up with an answer when he was asked “what our relationship was.” I thought the most fair thing was to give him a spreadsheet of possible options so he could pick one... but even saying all of them out loud, nothing felt right. I ended up saying that “just you and me is fine.” It was fine, there didn’t need to be anything else. ... “Frustrating” wasn’t quite the word, it was more like... If I was driving and every light we came to was a yellow light, and I just had to gauge whether to come to a sudden stop or gun through it. It seemed best to just always choose the safer option... but more and more lately, it felt like Tokito morphed into this annoying backseat driver, shouting, “You should’ve just went for it Kubo-chan, you totally could’ve beat the light!” This metaphor is becoming strange, I’m probably just tired... [Kubota and Tokito follow up on a vague lead that Kou passed to them, and long-unspoken feelings come to the surface...]
