"Of course we can still be friends." That much is certain, no matter what passes between us - unless he commits some act against me that is truly reprehensible, which I do not think is likely - I am certain we will always be friends.

Now there is just the question of being involved in such a way that is beyond friendship.

I very much desire such a thing with him, but I do not know Kanji's own feelings on the matter, exactly what sort of arrangement would be mutually beneficial.

"I would however like to make the suggestion that we possibly explore and engage in activities that go beyond the boundaries of mere friendship."

I am quite certain my face has never been the particular shade of red that it currently is.
