[The hilarious thing is that this is like the third time he's had this conversation in some form, but nobody has said the magic words to kick Atsushi out of his anxiety spiral when it comes to 'Vin' and 'feelings'.]
...she is? You're sure?
[Atsushi is a idiot who wears his heart on his sleeve and can't even hide the flip-flop of hope in his stomach there. He gains crushes so easily but he shoves them all away because he just assumes that everybody is interested in someone else and couldn't possibly like him. He's too pessimistic and thinks that anything that might be a 'maybe she likes me' is actually just in his head and he'll be rejected and look like and idiot and feel like an idiot for ever thinking he could be more than just friends with someone.
But all it takes is someone confirming that yes, those feelings are mutual, and suddenly those doubts are (mostly) cleared away.]
he just reaches out and swats him in the back of the head, though it's not very hard at all. ]
Yes, you fucking doofus.
[ this is so hypocritical because vax is just as stupid about this ] So, say something about it while you still can. And talk to Ruby, while you're at it! Fuck.
[ at the bottom of the page, in his neat, slanted handwriting, smaller than atsushi's but still there, he adds: ]
No matter what happens, don't forget that you're loved. - Sly
[ for as much as he's a joker and a gremlin, vax is a big, soft baby on the inside. this little gesture means a lot to him, for vin, because he knows how hard this all is for her.
