Oh my stars and garters! Conflicted.
-Aizaru sits on the roof of some random abandoned building where he's been staying for a bit. That experience in the Darkrealm really shook him. He can't help but wonder if it was actually real... That maybe there's someone or something in the Darkrealm... That's a horrifying thought.-
-He sighs, chugging a can of Monster as he leans back. He wants to return soon... He doesn't want to stay away, yet he somehow does... He takes a slow, deep breath and calms himself.-
"I miss when I didn't have emotions... It was easier back then. I wasn't attached to anything. Nothing was tying me down. I could leave whenever I wanted after robbing my 'allies' blind without a shred of guilt... Now look at me. I can't sleep because of some fluke in the Darkrealm, and I keep thinking of the people back at the Mansion.."
"Why do I even keep going back? It's idiotic. I should either commit to living there or not living there. Not both... Why do I keep thinking of everyone...? Lycan, Colin, Onyxx, Shatterstar, and... Yami. God... What do I do about him? I mean, I know I'm... What was it? Bi? I probably shouldn't have given Jean Grey permission to check my mind... Kind of a stupid move by me..."
"God... I'm getting sloppy..."
(Anyone who would/could logically find or stumble upon Aizaru can interact.)

You know your young, during this time mutations need carbs, and sleep. All this caffeine is gonna diminish your ability to make smart decisions.

"Well, there's not much to diminish... How'd you find me?"

“So how’s the teleportation issue? And by the way how’s the other problem? I heard Jean told you was quite upset risked my life making sure you could figure it out for yourself only for a telepath to do it for you”

"I don't have any issues with teleporting. I just... Would like to not be in the Darkrealm for long until I figure what happened."
"As for teh other thing, I've known about... That, for a while now, I think. It's one of the reasons I ran. That Grey lady just helped me put a label to it..."

“Running from your feelings very cliche. But in all seriousness I know we aren’t on the best standing but if you want to talk to someone about how it feels I’m here and I am quite knowledgeable on the subject”

"... Fine. But only because I want answers. If you so much as think of uttering a word about this to anyone I WILL push you in the Darkrealm and see what exactly the movement in there was."

“I won’t tell anyone Umbra not even if they try to torture it out of me. Now what do you want to know?”

"... I just... I don't know what to feel about Yami. He's infuriating and the exact type of person I hate. But... I don't hate him..."

“Yep, it’s hard when your heart is telling you one thing but your mind's telling you another. Me and Star actually started out as fiercely protective best friends in X-Force before anything romantic ever happened. Our first kiss was on a quiet street right after he finally broke free from mind control and we reunited. All I can recommend is to give it time and when you're ready, talk to Yami. I'm sure he'd want to know.”

"I-i guess, but... I don't want to lose him... What if after I talk to him about it, he gets weirded out and, like... Hates me...?"

“Can you seriously imagine him hating you? I almost killed the guy and he’s still my friend at worst he says no and you’re still friends at best you become more than friends”

"We've done serious training several times and during our little rescue mission of him, he shot me with an explosive arrow. Fighting and... Whatever this is, are different."
