[Miyuki vanished for a while, and Rei tried to convince himself he was called on by a teammate, or a coach, or really anyone who could have taken his attention away from his phone; he was a popular guy, after all.
But when a reply does come, he releases the breath he hadn't realized he was holding.]
So then we can agree to pretend this information never came out?
[ He wants to say again that that's not how it works. That he can't just magically forget about this, and knowing it now changes things in a way he can't control. He'd like to believe Rei's right that it's better to just pretend this never happened but really, he doesn't. ]
yeah. alright.
[ He only agrees because that seems to be what Rei wants, and it's not like he's got any better ideas. Baseball, this is not. ]
[Rei is a little hurt when Miyuki agrees to let the subject drop, but he knows logically that this is for the best and smothers the emotional reaction as much as he can. This would be the appropriate time to change the subject.]
How is the team doing this year? I saw that you won last weekend's game.
