{ he had a feeling they would worry about it, so he had wanted to clarify that much. }
I doubt anyone would leave you alone, Nenonen. You are very charming. { he wants to be reassuring after worrying them so much now. } The other terms of endearment you use are very much different. Husband is just... a little more complicated, I suppose. Granted, I can't say that I understand your feelings either, I don't think I could look at anyone else or feel about anyone else like I do with Thoma. It's merely a different mindset.
Mm, it is hard for me to understand feeling that way about only one person.
[ But then again, a lot of how Nenonen feels and their attachments to other people are born from their unique (and rather tragic) circumstances. Their idea of romance and affection were built from the ground-up after arriving. They didn't have words for how they felt before--so Ayato's side of things, too, is just another thing for them to learn more about. ]
But Thoma is most definitely a good husband. Please keep him a long time.
That may be due to my own circumstances, rather than your own. I mentioned before about the assassins, did I not? There are very few people I trusted as much as Ayaka or Thoma. It's obviously different here, but one day I'll return home.
{ his voice softens. }
As much as my life, I can't imagine entrusting my heart to anyone else either.
[ OH no that's the softest thing?? The way Ayato's whole demeanour changes when he talks about Thoma like that... Nen nods in understanding, all the while making a mental note that Ayato and Thoma should be together, always. Husbands only for each other.
I doubt it would be anytime soon, if only because I don't wish to frighten him with the speed of it. Though I do have to ask... why did you kiss a sister?
I see... Oh, though I shouldn't forget, it is worth mentioning that while I said there was no right or wrong answer for what I asked before, that is only if you set clear boundaries with each partner so they know where they stand with you. Especially when you seem to care for each other them equally just in different ways.
{ and at least he's gathered some information for shigeru here, without asking anything outright. that last bit was a gentle nudge for nen to be open and honest to each of them about how they feel. }
[ JUST ACCEPT NEN FOR WHAT THEY ARE, AYATO....they will never make sense ]
'Set clear boundaries'...?
[ Nen tilts their head, confused. Is this like consent during medical exams...? Shigeru insisted on that being important. Nen didn't have to do anything they didn't want to when it came to their treatment.
{ LOOK he does but he doesn't want someone (shigeru) to get hurt by nen making it seem like they're promising more than they are.
so yes, even if he can't read minds nen would be on the right track. }
Exactly. If you will be someone that has multiple partners, you must be open with them all that this is what you want and if they are not happy with that arrangement, do not try and force them. That is what I mean by setting clear boundaries... things get more complicated with feelings involved, after all. If one of them finds they want you all to themselves and didn't want to share, that would be difficult, wouldn't it?
Oh... Yes, I see where that could cause conflict. But no one has tried to court me but Chipp so far... Do you think it will be an issue? He is the only one who has taken me out on a "date."
[ Because yes, Nen now understands the casual "it's a date" is different than like...a romantic date. That was confusing at first. ]

Thoma/Ayato gains +1 fan ]
Thoma is a very lucky husband.
no subject
He isn't a husband yet. But perhaps one day we'll hold vows to cement that. Besides, I think out of the two of us I may be the lucky one.

Oh--! If you have a wedding, I want to come. I visited a wedding in a memory portal, and I got to kiss a sister!
[ Clearly the most important part of the wedding. ]
no subject
I doubt it would be anytime soon, if only because I don't wish to frighten him with the speed of it. Though I do have to ask... why did you kiss a sister?
no subject
[ Nen was being influenced by the owner of the memory portal's memories...so they became the most powerful form of Nen: Siscon NenTM. ]
I wanted to marry her too, but the dream ended before I could ask. I don't want to marry her now, though. It was just in the portal.
no subject
I see... was it the person's memory that influenced that feeling?
no subject
Hmm... I don't know, I haven't asked them about it. It is possible.
[ casually goes and asks if said individual wants to marry his sister lmdsfsd-- ]

I see... I would have thought you'd ask given your curiosity.

Have you asked or talked about it? I don't know all the people you refer to this way, but it's always good to be open about it.
{ but honestly do as he says, not as he does, when ayato keeps flirting with lumine despite swearing his life to thoma... smh. }
no subject
I have not... I did not realize I would need to.
[ LMFAO AYATO???? pls....
Nen makes a thoughtful sound. ]
I will ask Shigeru at dinner.
[ You know, in front of everyone like a normal person ]
no subject
I think that makes sense, given where you've come from. I can't say I know their backgrounds, but... it's always good to have open communication.
