[If the options were tea or getting on his boyfriend's lap, well, Tim was just going to have to go without that tea, because he was getting in that choice lap. For all that he thought Tim was a cuddly octopus, he sure did encourage him to snuggle up every chance they had.]

[The things he said about the state of marriage in Japan, however, made Tim's stupid smile fade a bit. The idea that no one would recognize their relationship as legitimate was... kind of shitty, if he was being honest. What if one of them got hurt or something? The hospital might not let him into the room, because he wouldn't be 'officially' his spouse. So not being able to get married didn't change how Tim felt about Majima, it just sucked and could be a weird, awful problem in the future.]

Oh. That's... that's a thing back then, huh.

[Majima was definitely right in thinking that things were different in the super space future. No one cared if you got married to a man or a woman, so long as everyone was a consenting adult.]

I... I want to marry you. So it kind of sucks that I can't? But I'm not going to not love you because of it, I just... is it going to be a problem for you? Being with me, I mean.
