Oh. That sounds a bit like alchemy... Magic with scientific rules applied.
[He thinks it sounds cool, though.]

Though, I think a lot of times, highly advanced science and technology sounds like magic. Like cognition particles.

[notaccurate]

It could be that 'magic' is the earliest explanation for scientific phenomena. That's what I always believed.

[holeful]

I imagine that's so. At least in worlds like yours and mine. It's hard to say for the rest, since no one can use their powers here.

So is that what you do for work, Luca? Studying Sfeer theory?

[notaccurate]

Ah, well.

[He smiles.]

I'm a technician at the school where they teach it. I help keep the labs running.

[holeful]

So you make it so that young people can learn it too. That's an important job.

[notaccurate]

I suppose it is, isn't it? Though they're not exactly young, it's a university. Most of the students are adults.

[holeful]

[hmmmmmmm]

Do you not think your work is important, Luca?

[notaccurate]

Oh no, the work of passing on education to the next generation is very important.

[holeful]

[Smiles.]

Aah. You have a lot to be proud of.

[notaccurate]

[Something like that.]

What about you? Surely you do important work too, no?

[holeful]

Hahaha. Well, I'd say it's a bit complicated, so perhaps it's better left at that.

[Gently evades.]

[notaccurate]

[That evasion tho]

Too shy to talk about it?

[holeful]

[He laughs lightly.]

Something like that.
[It's not that at all but as long as it gets Luca to stop asking!!]

[notaccurate]

We should work on that shyness of yours.

[He's reaching over to cup Fukuda's chin with his index finger.]

[holeful]

[Oh... Fukuda leans into the touch, lightly.]

What sort of thing did you have in mind?

[notaccurate]

Well, for starters...

[He's going to lean in for a slow, gentle kiss.]

[holeful]

[Luca is such a gentleman... Fukuda doesn't react much, as if he's hesitant, but he does lean into it. So much for being shy?]

[notaccurate]

[It's fine, it's a gentle kiss and it suits him well.

When Luca pulls back, he's smiling warmly.]

That's a good start, I think.

[holeful]

It would be pretty stupid, I think, to turn down someone as handsome and well-spoken as you, Luca.

[Smiling back!!!]

[notaccurate]

You flatter me.

[Time to lean in for another kiss!]

[holeful]

[Oh! He's truly surprised by this one so soon after the first, but he gets a little bolder, raising a hand to card through Luca's hair, which I hope is as soft as it looks. And when Luca pulls away;]

It's not flattery, though. It's just the truth. I feel lucky just being here with you.

[notaccurate]

[It is quite soft! And he lets out a pleased hum at having it played with.]

It's funny, I was about to say the same thing.

[holeful]

[He's doubling down on that, huh.]

You really think that... Most people find my hole off putting, you know.
[Anyway, that's positive reinforcement, he's going to play with Luca's hair some more.]

[notaccurate]

Those people are looking in the wrong place, I think.

[If the hole is off putting, then don't look at the hole!]

[holeful]

[Fukuda stares at him for a long moment.]

Where... where should they look instead?
