i know it is
but think of it this way
you wouldn't want someone to treat you like a middle schooler forever right?

I don't know the feeling, since I was never a middle schooler.

[ homeschooling, ]

then...
how about if people treat you like you're always 13
instead of 17?

[ implying all his older brother figures don't already do that ]

I'd be really frustrated, I guess.
I'm more of an adult than the adults I know, even, so...
I get it, though.

[ chiyo doesn't know all his older brother figures but she'll fight them for him ]

exactly!
i know it's hard to act differently right away
but i think he and you are a little similar that way?

[ chiyo too good too pure for this world. but also: don't do it they'll just spoil you too ]

I think so, too.
We actually have a lot in common...

[ ... anyway, ]

Everyone's -tan, but Xiaolang's gonna be Xiaosan... ♪ Or Lisan... Lissan? Hmm...
I'll figure it out ♪

Lissan makes him sound like a car
Why not tan? I think Xiaotan is cute

Exactly.
It's cute, so he might not appreciate it... It's sort of kiddish, right?
Neither you or Chitan have raised any complaints about it, which I'm thankful for, because Izukun and Chichan don't sound half as cute...

[ ......... ]

No, you'd be Ikkun. Not Izukun.

I guess? I'm used to it from you though
Do you usually ask people before giving them nicknames?

You know, I've never really thought about it until now, but no one else has ever called me by a nickname
It's the same for Miyamura too
Except I just remembered that his parents called him Ikkun when he was little
So we're 1 to 1
...I think I like Izutan better

I probably should, but not usually...
That's a bad habit I picked up from Leonii, I guess. He nicknames cute things and people like that, so I mimicked him when we were kids and it never really
Stopped
I guess?

Ufufu, Tsukasa wins ♪
I have a lot of nicknames, both in this life and the last...
Kasa-kun and Suuchan are shared between them though, so I wonder if that counts? Aside from that, Suou also has Leader calling him "Suou," but it's said like, weirdly... Kinda nicknameishly.
And here I have Tsuka-tan, and Ama-chan, and Tsukki.

[ . . . ]

Most people just call me Tsukasa though.
Anyway, I'll keep calling you Izutan... ♪

tsukki!!
how did ama-chan come about?

[ TSUKKI IS HIS MOST TREASURED ONE, ASIDE FROM TSUKA/TSUKA-TAN IT WAS HIS FIRST NICKNAME..... ]

I like sweet things (甘い) ♪
Actually, that's just how it's written... It's from 33 (Miisan, aka my roommate, Miai), derived from Amaterasu, since he called me a "Small Amaterasu".
Uh, this was back when things were sort of
Weird with memories
And I worked at a shrine, I guess? Well, I still do sometimes, but...
Anyway, not really important. We were talking about what I was going to be wearing to Tanabata, and he encouraged me to wear something less humble than what my parents were expecting of me.
To "come out of my cave," as it were. There's a legend about that, but it's kind of long, so I'll spare you the details.
Anyway, I didn't really like being called that, so he just shortened it to Ama-chan, and said that it was written with the "ama" for "sweet".
Before that, he called me "Mochi" because I was round and sweet... If I remember right.
Based on what Leonii told him and stuff, when they were hanging out together in Japan...

That got really long, sorry!! (；ﾟДﾟ)

[ chiyo wants to call him tsukki ]

oh nooo
that's so cute
it has a double meaning!
that's such a good backstory for a nickname!!

It's not weird that it even has a backstory?!
I mean... Thank you, Chitan ☆
As for me, Leonii adds -tan to cute things, so that's what I do too...
Usually animals, but people can be pretty cute too, so...

no it's not!
the story makes it better
lots of people can be cute!
the only time i called someone by a nickname it's because someone else called that someone that nickname in his head and it just stuck
i was thinking it'd be nice to call you tsukki
but maybe tsukarin?

Oh, right! He calls me Izu too
But you guys (and Nazuna, if adding -chin counts) are the only ones

I think I'd be too embarrassed to use a nickname for anyone unless they asked me to or used it instead of their real name
Like Steve for Steven or something
But it's nice, like a measure of closeness

It would be weird if I started using nicknames now anyway, and not many of my friends have names that can be shortened well

That's what I thought until I started...
Mafutan had "Hina" for Hinatan, so I was kind of jealous that she called him something... And then he started calling me Tsukki so, well...

Anyway, I know I'd be happy to get a nickname from you ☆ I'm sure your other friends feel the same!!!
What kind of nicknames would Izutan given anyway... Hmmm... ♪

I didn't even think of Hinata, but he rotates between calling me Izu, Izuizu, and Izumi
It's just such a natural part of my life that I guess I forgot
But that's cute! Hinatan and Tsukki

Really? Uh... I don't think I can do anything better than something boring
Is Kasa too plain? Tsuka? Kasu?
Everyone else is even harder

Oh, but one name did rub off on me!
Hinata and Rise have called Chiaki "aniki" ever since we were little, so it stuck

Edited 2018-10-14 21:33 (UTC)

Kasu reminds me of katsu, like katsudon... ♪
I could kind of go for some... I wonder if Miisan would mind if I made it tomorrow?
He brought home cake for dinner, so I couldn't do it now.

But anyway, how cute ♪
Leonii would get sulky if I called anyone else niisan though, so I have to be careful not to let that rub off on me...

I thought katsu would sound weird, so it's from tsuKAsa SUzakura
But more importantly, cake for dinner?!
Are you sure that's okay? Please eat real food

Sulky? I can see that...
He does seem like the jealous type, but that just shows that he cares for you!
I don't have any siblings, so aniki is the closest thing I have to a real older brother
Leo may have asked me to call him Leonii, but he's still your brother and not mine
