[Oh. That's what this is about. He should have guessed - he wasn't going to be the one to start the apology. Even if he really should have... he doesn't want to seem weak or soft, in his own way.]
I'm... fine. And my arm got bruised, but it's... fine. I've been getting worse bruises a lot lately... I've been training.
[ he sounds surprised for a moment. training? training in what, he wondered (but refrains from asking, at least immediately). ]
Oh. Jun, [ well then guess who's weak and soft: ] . . . I'm sorry I kicked you. [ it was the right thing to do and the reason why he called in the first place. he could ignore it and talk about something else, but— that just doesn't sit right. ] Something strange happened— but I still had the intention at the time. I'd understand if . . . You'd not want to accept it, but I'd like to make up anyway.
[There's another pause and another sigh. He hates this part of fights. And usually it's an adult forcing him to apologize... he knows he should be the bigger person and apologize too, but he's still not sure he did anything wrong.]
[He wanted something, so he took it. That's the end of that. But is it? ... He's not sure, and he's just so frustrated by it that he makes an uncertain noise.]
It's... fine. I don't really care. I guess it was just one stupid book... I don't even like romance, anyway.
... It's not like I don't have a lot of books sitting around my room...
It’s . . . Not really about the book. It’s about hurting you.
[ but, still— falco doesmt expect a thing from the other boy. jun doesn’t have to apologize if he doesn’t want to. if he too was influenced (maybe with the book aspect of things?) well . . . it didn't mater now. doing what felt right did. ]
I still, um— saved it for you anyway. If you still want a look.
W-well—! [ he’s glad he can’t see his face right now; it’s lighting up lime green with certain embarrassment! like he’s said something stupid! ] I don’t know? That’d be up to you, but . . .

[He sighs and sits back a little, closing his eyes.]
The past is the past. It's... not like trying to make up for it fixes things. That's not... me blaming you, but it's just...
... It doesn't matter. The future's what matters, right?

Would I still be in it?
no subject
[It's said quietly, and with a strange... almost affection? It's hard to tell with Jun.]
Of course you would be. Why wouldn't you be?
no subject
[ but since that’s a yes: ]
—Thank you.

It's not like I haven't had worse fights with people... that wasn't really -
[Never mind.]
... I've... got a lot of books to return...
no subject
[ this feels like a good start. ]
no subject
... Don't you have a lot of books to return, too?
no subject
Maybe after we could . . . Go somewhere?
[ he didn’t know where, exactly, and he wasn’t too familiar with the words “hanging out”, but— that’s what he’s suggesting. ]
no subject
[So. Maybe.]
... There's not a lot of places to just hang out... but we could go for a walk maybe? If... you want.
no subject
[ he's satisfied, happy— and warm! friendship still aquired! ]
Where are you now? I could help you get a head start.
