Unsure how somehow the dissuasion occurred who's Bunny is cuter. Hoppi in a pastel purple tone and overly long ears or Wilbur in a light gray with a small shirt? Unable to settle the argument both Bunnys were placed on the kitchen table right in front of Jun who was in the middle of eating rahmen. "PICK! Which bunny is cuter? Hoppi or Wilbur?" In a moment of silence  Jun just blankly stared at his partners and their Bunnys. He had to calculate his next move carefully. If he picked one Bunny to be cuter than the other the owner of the less cute bunny would be upset. Which isn't something Jun would want, knowing that Flo would just cry for the rest of the day and Sam would probably do something stupid. So saying that one Bunny is cuter than the other would be a pretty stupid move.

As a solution to the problem Jun just patted both Bunnys on the head three times telling them they looked nice today. Then he looked at Flo and Sam. "I'm not gonna say one bunny is cuter than the other. I know you both love your little bunny a lot and I will not upset either one of you on purpose by saying the other Bunny is cuter. They're both as unique as you two. Hoppi has longer ears than Wilbur but Wilbur has his little shirt. They are two completely different bunnies and are both cute in their own way. And now I would like it if you could leave me alone for 5 minutes so I can enjoy my noodles!"  

Both Bunnies are very cute to Jun because they are important to Sam and Flo. But seeing how different the Bunnies look, he'd have a hard time choosing one over the other, even if he wanted to. Plus, Jun doesn't even see the logic behind the argument. Even if for some reason one Bunny was cuter than the other, what would it change? It wouldn't change the way Jun loves his partners but he still knows that both Sam and Flo love their Bunnies a lot and that a different Bunny being cuter than their own Bunny would be like an insult to them.

What may look weird to others is perfectly normal in this house. That includes praising stuffed animals. Loving neurodivergent partners can be a little out of the ordinary. Did Jun ever think he'd one day be sitting at the kitchen table, petting two plushies and complementing said plushies? Probably not but that is his reality. Not fully understand how or why his partners are so attached to their Bunnies but still tries to support them. 

Maybe not finding an answer to a question is the best solution sometimes. Like this time. Sometimes a vague answer or no answer at all is better than an answer that would end up hurting someone's feelings. Or insulting a blush Bunny!
