Gema: Testing, testing, you guys can hear me?

Itachi: You're on, Gema-kun.

[We can't see Itachi, so we can tell from the closeness of his voice that he's filming. In front of him is Gema, sitting in one of the chairs of the gaming club and spinning around in it with a paper in his hand.]

Gema: Sick! Okay, so, we only got questions from a single person, but that's cool since [dramatically] I'm used to almost nobody caring for me and only a few people actually giving a shit about my existence [tears welling up in his eyes] so none of us took this personally—

Itachi: I'm gonna shut this camera off if you don't stop.

Gema [cheerfully, his tears magically disappearing]: Anyways! We got all our questions from -kotohime, and the first one is for Kaga-kun and Itachi-kun.

Miyuji [perking up in interest]: Is it, now?

Kaga [blushing slightly]: Jesus Christ...

Gema: It's all in caps, so, for the sake of keeping true to the comment, I'm gonna scream.

Megami: You know you don't have to—

Gema [screaming]: KAGA-KUN, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ITACHI-KUN NOW THAT YOU TWO ARE GA—I MEAN VERY GOOD FRIENDS? [suddenly normal tone] And vice versa. [pauses] Wait, it says 'frineds'. Is that the same thing?

Megami [affectionately]: You are an unfortunate soul, Gema-kun.

Kaga: Oh, well...

[Tsuruzo takes the camera from Itachi and puts it on him and Kaga. We can't see him, but Itachi blushes at a gesture his lover does.]

Kaga: I think Itachi-kun is pretty great. You know, he kinda saved me from certain death, so I don't know if you expected me to say I hate his guts or something. [he chuckles] He's been a pretty good sport – pun unintended – about me coming to Akademi and joining the Mane Nine. [lights up] Oh, and him and Tsuruzo-kun have been helping me set up a science club! It's gonna be in one of the rooms on the third floor, people are actually taking interest in it, so that's definitely exciting! [stops; smiles apologetically] Sorry for rambling. To answer your question shortly, [grins at Itachi] Itachi-kun's a nice guy.

Miyuji: [coughs] Gay— [coughs]

Itachi [confused]: Did you say something?

Miyuji [grins innocently]: Nothing, go on, it's your turn to say what you think of Kaga-kun.

Itachi: Oh, right. Um...

[He looks at Kaga, who grins at him.]

Itachi: Well, Kaga-kun's been great, so I can't exactly complain. Having him around is really nice – he's properly moved in Class 3-2, alongside Megami-chan, and he sits between me and Tsuruzo.

Geiju: They talk non-stop.

Shoku: Oh, yeah, they do. I hear them all the time.

Gema: They gossip all the time, man.

Miyuji: Leave them alone, dudes, they're just planning their future together! Why do you have to be so judgemental?

Kaga: I swear—

Itachi [sighing]: Long answer short, I like Kaga-kun, he's a very nice guy, and I am holding myself back from killing Miyuji-chan as we speak.

Gema: Great. Loved that. So nice and friendly, guys, we definitely put the 'friendship' in 'the magic of friendship'. [clears throat] Next one, from the same person, as I said, is for Megami-chan.

Megami [perking up]: Oh, really?

Gema: Megami-chan, why – they stress this word – are you friends with Kaga-kun? They also stress that word, by the way.
