No, it wouldn't. But...

[ Who would ewnt to look after a sixteen year old girl? She's not a child so most people won't bother with becoming her guardian. ]

[kaba]

But? [ Please don't tell him you have a crush on the guy he will not know how to feel about that.

Other than horrified maybe. ]

[mikajima]

[ Please, she would never hurt Masaomi like that. ]

He's the only adult that was willing to look after me.

[kaba]

That's not true! [ He might have said that a little too quickly. ]

[mikajima]

[ That caught her off guard. ] ... What makes you say that?

[kaba]

I… [ He'd been about to say your parents but then again, if you're so down on your luck that Izaya has to be the one to look after you…

Geez how does he even approach this? ]

I wouldn't let anything happen to you.

[mikajima]

You wouldn't? [ Koujaku is full of surprises. That, and nobody else has ever said that to her besides Masaomi. But he's her boyfriend rather then a guardian. ]

... That's very sweet of you.

[kaba]

It's only the right thing to do. [ And shame on any guy who doesn't go out of his way to help a girl tbh ]

[mikajima]

One would say it is right, but is it really? It is socially right, yes, however it could be wrong if neither party is really up for it. [ It would become an ugly burden. ]

[kaba]

That's— [ Totally right, especially considering his own childhood… ]

Whatever happens here, we've got a chance here for a better life. I'm not letting anyone lose that chance.

[mikajima]

Heh.

You're a very kind man, Koujaku. I hope you know that.

[kaba]

[ Why is it so touching, coming from her… He's trying not to get all choked up man ]

And I hope you realize you can come to me for help if you need it.

[ Not that he's specifying a certain kind of "help" or anything, but if she's in mortal danger… ]
