This is August. Leave a message and I'll get back to you. Unless you're a jackass who decided to track down my personal info instead of using the business number, in which case fuck you.
[He'll take the camera from August, taking a moment to adjust his hands and figure out how to take a photo- it's not like uses polaroid cameras all that much! But he gets it soon enough]
[And the photo is of August (with white hair??) draped over another guy in an RV, with a different (also white-haired but alarmingly pale) guy and a person with green curly hair at a table. August and Pale Guy seem to be talking about god knows what, Julian is perched on the other guy's shoulder, Green Hair is so obviously Done With This Shit, and there is a weird robotic cat on the table.
August just sorta stares.]
...okay well I sorta recognize the guy I'm all over, but. Uh.
I think I might, yeah. It's not exactly him, but it might be Alexandre...or his other life I guess, whatever. Best friend from back home, enabler of my shit, all that jazz.
[August that does not explain that look!]
He's, like, not as deep into this shit as we are but he's a damn good alchemist.
[August's best friend? As in the best friend in this life? Logically, Jun knows that makes sense. August is older than him, they've only known each other a few years-- and most of the time Jun was keeping him at arms length. Hell even now he still struggles with it. So of course it's completely understandable that August would view someone else as his best friend.
However despite all that logic, there is still a part of Jun's emotions that are much closer to this. An impulse he is doing his VERY BEST to quash.]
Well....maybe in that other life, you decided to take things to the, um...next level?
Do not ask how long I've liked him, it is disgusting. [At least he's honest.] And no, being my other best friend does not give you teasing me about that rights, before you ask. You get kinkshaming rights, not tease me about my crush rights.
[It's funny, just thinking of that memory makes him feel happy. Or rather, it's the first memory he recalls getting that had happiness associated with. The rest hadn't had any real noticeable feelings attached. ]
Don't worry, you're still my best friend though even if I remembered that guy's name.

No. No can't be. Can't computer]
Yeah, that settles it. Camera's broken. Maybe possessed.

[Please ignore the slightly sappy look on his face as he looks at him and the other guy in the photo, though, at least before he stashes it away.]
What the fuck.
no subject
[He's a tech guy he knows things!! But oh no he notices that look. He almost wants to not ask, but that you know what they say about curiosity-]
Do you....know that guy?

H-Hey I wouldn't do that! I'm not that mean!
[Yes he would and it's a good thing August makes it clear now.]
...I'm your other best friend?
no subject
[Doofus.]
Yeah? That wasn't clear?
no subject
It's clear that we're friends! I know that much. It's just the best part I wasn't...
[Nnngh this is what he wanted isn't it? Why is he so awkward??? He scratches his jaw]
I've never really had one of those before.

Dumbass. [/affectionate] Julian trusts you enough that I'm pretty sure you'd be his go-to if there was an emergency with me.

Thanks. You're my best friend too-

[He lifts up one of the photos of the four, pointing to the guy in the light gray coat]
That's Kou. I remembered that just now. He'd call me-- er, my other self-- an idiot like you just did.
[Affectionately, he means!]
no subject
[Huh.]

[Just in case you were worried!!]

I'd hope so! I'm here and sewing your cosplay pieces, not this guy!

I know I know! Unless he's really good at cosplay too, you're safe!
[HE'S TEASING REALLY]
