[Ren smiles in a way that says he's definitely going to keep that in mind to tease him about it...later. It doesn't seem like the best time right now all of a sudden.

He's somewhat torn between being angry at Academia all over again and saying that it's okay because it's not like Shun can't have fun at all anymore. But it seems like this is something that's finally bothering him, instead of him feeling like it's a waste of time--and it's nice to see that, but it does make him wonder if he can just say it's okay. Or that maybe there's a little more reason than no reason, he just didn't feel like figuring it all out...

Ren hums a little, staring thoughtfully at the air over Shun's head. Maybe he'll mention that in a minute or so. if he doesn't forget, like he's forgotten to ask about Shun's coat. But first, it does make him wonder something that he probably should have asked long before now.]

What did you do for fun before? Other than Duel Monsters. [Because he's pretty sure Shun's not going to see that as being fun for fun's sake for a loooong time.]

[Shun stays quiet for that little bit of time, focusing on following the motions. It's not something that bothers him enough to jump on immediately, but it's been worming its way up levels of how annoying it is to him since the moon viewing, so it's had a few weeks to make itself known.

Once Ren mentions that, he glances away slightly. It would probably be more reassuring that he was turning his focus to remember it if the way the lines around his eyes tighten a bit after a few moments didn't indicate he's not having much luck.

Eventually, he just shakes his head.] I don't remember. Nothing that stands out enough now for me to have held onto it.

[He remembers some things he enjoyed, but those are more like subjects and things that interested him instead of anything he'd actually go to for fun. The rest of it is still blurry, apart from a few specific moments that don't really have much to do with the topic anyway.

Turning his head back towards Ren, he curls his fingers a little more around his hand.]

This doesn't seem like a good time to bring it up anyway. [He'd rather Ren just enjoy the dance instead of worrying about this for the whole time.]

[Ren's grip on Shun's hand tightens for a moment as well, as he renews a secret, solemn vow to make sure Shun has lots more fun from now on. Academia had taken a lot from him, but Ren wasn't about to let them win and take those things from him forever. Maybe they could go to an amusement park next time they went on a real date. Shun would probably like the roller coasters and other things that sent you flying through the air really fast.]

Why not? I don't mind. [He shrugs and pulls Shun into a more abrupt spin than he has so far.] The nice thing about dancing like this is we can talk if we want to.

[He smiles and goes back to his somewhat calmer steps to the music. It is a little difficult to want to keep talking when part of him just wants to go "wheeeeeee".]

Maybe that's one reason I like it. Because I like spending time with you.

[It's at least nice to feel that reassurance, and though the flow of their movements tells Shun to expect something more swift even as Ren pulls him into that turn, he still looks a little surprised for a moment at it. It's...a nice feeling, he supposes.

He lets out a very slight sigh at the remark that comes with it, though.]

I know you don't mind, but it doesn't seem right to do it when you're trying to have fun. [It's not something he tends to broach openly at the best of times, but to him, it feels particularly out of place right now. It's probably a good thing Ren's remark snaps him out of the downturn in mood, though, if for a somewhat different reason than possibly intended. However long they've been doing this for, Shun still isn't really getting any more used to that kind of genuine remark on something good about him, and he ends up with the typical blindsided look he gets about compliments before turning his head away after a moment to hide it. That reaction, at least, he is used to.]

...I like being around you as well. [Guess who's still terrible at this complimenting thing. Even though it's stated certainly, he's a little quiet about it, and looking at him more sidelong than directly.]
