[ Well, of the romantic ideals Jun's absorbed from Shoujo manga and seen in the devoted couples around him, his perspective on relationships is naive but understandable. (Hidaka-sensei talking happily about his wife and to his shitty parents, who seem to care about one another.) Having only seen caring relationships portrayed as the norm, how could anyone fathom physical intimacy without an emotional bond? He purely believes that's something reserved for those who genuinely love each other.
Though simplistic, the thought true affection should precede physical acts comes from an innocent place—a desire to avoid the loveless marriages and trysts that would leave anyone empty. Experience may test his ideals over time, but for now, Jun aims for a romantic connection defined by mutual understanding and care.
That is, if one were to ever occur.
He knows, clearly, that lust is an emotion anyone can experience easily. So perhaps that is how things will unfold here. Unfortunately for him, there may be many superficial encounters in the future. But for now, he wants to believe romance plays a role too. After all, he's never been in a genuinely romantic situation before. (Unless someone who was scared asks to hold your hand, counts as something. Though that experience carried weight, Jun would take death over thinking about that person again.) He wonders about Hiyori's views on romance, though perhaps ignorance is bliss. Recalling Hiyori's jealousy over him playing a card game with Natsume, maybe he's still slanting sideways to this day. ]
Alright, that'll be a warning.
[ Welcome to Apocalypse...
Jun figures further in would probably be better, but it was the first empty place he's seen. Hiyori's expression causes him to nod, following behind and further down until they pass by another number of stores. He seriously can't believe how many more stores are down this wing—it's a shopper's paradise, and probably Ohii-san's too. But Jun pays the stores no mind, as he and Hiyori are here to find a place to sit and examine whatever is on their watches.
Though in the future he'll likely become familiar with these stores, for now he sits next to his partner, leaning in closely to view the watch without drawing unwanted attention. Despite feeling uneasy with physical closeness, Hiyori's no stranger and they did offer to read together, so he leans in, even if it's difficult, to view the face of the watch.
And then he'd only read as far as the first rule about collecting someone's card before feeling uneasy and turning his watch off. Though reading the rules with Hiyori now, there's an unsettling feeling as he scrolls to that same spot. However, it's comforting to go through the unnerving text together instead of alone.
Even if those rules are obscene and unlike any rules they've been given before, that doesn't mean they have to be followed.
Eyes widening at the mention of "position," his heart hammers in his chest as embarrassment flushes his cheeks, and he looks away from the watch for a moment. He doesn't believe anyone should be instructing them in this, much less condoning it. Glancing back to Hiyori, he sees no embarrassment in his partner's expression, but something close to disgust. ]
It's fine, Ohii-san. Don't worry 'bout all that, 'cause I can't blame you for not wanting to read the rest of whatever's on there. Dunno whoever greenlit this was thinkin', clearly not with their head.
