love triangle between two men fighting over another man who might be demiromantic but that's not important because they love HIM and want to prioritize HIS happiness but still want to be in his life send tweet

on the one hand you've got this sweet darling man who's been pining over him since they were kids and tae knows iruka would do his best to make him happy but he's hesitant to let him in because he feels like all he'd do is burden someone as kind as him by dragging iruka in closer proximity to "his world" where kindness like that withers away - he's never felt tenderness like iruka's though and feels if he indulges too much it'll hurt them both

and on the other hand you've got someone tae gets along with well in tenzo, they've got similar experiences and feel 'tainted' in similar ways - tae more so than tenzo, one feels unworthy and the other knows he couldn't reacclimate to a civilian life - but tae's also scared that he's falling too hard and too fast and that it'll end up like shisui all over again if he "allows" himself this happiness

they're both very important to him so part of tae plays coy, the other half isn't sure what to make of these feelings at all because the only other person tae's felt like this for - well he's not around anymore and tae doesn't know what to do
