That was something of a clear cut thing for the pigtailed boy, as he'd never questioned his interest in them. To him, the idea of being with one wasn't something that he would at all avoid. After all, he'd always assumed that he'd eventually have kids, and one needed a girl to be the mother of said children. But it was not only that, as he could see the appeal of dating and spending time with a girl that he liked. Having been educated right along side other boys, he'd been companionable with guys who'd had no trouble in sharing their, sometimes absurd, ideas, thoughts, and rumors about such activities. His problem was just that he wasn't someone who could express his emotions very well, along with the fact that he had girls who would want to hurt him at times, and would want to pop up in rather embarrassing situations at others.
However, the idea of being with a boy held about as much appeal as would sucking down Akane's cooking. It could happen, but he couldn't see why someone would want to do it. Both were distasteful at best, though he wasn't about to put down those people who 'bent' that way. He certainly didn't go in that direction, and had plenty of experience to dislike the concept.
"Nope, nuh uh, nothin' doin'," Ranma muttered, scowling darkly the whole time.
The expression that Misato favored him with was a cross between interest and sympathy. "What's the matter?"
"Think 'bout it. That could have been me. Gah...."
"You have a problem with that."
"Only with me bein' the one involved," the pigtailed boy admitted. "See, I've been approached by guys before. It wasn't fun."
"You were?"
"Yeah. But I was in my cursed form then. Y'know, as a girl. 'Course, Kuno wouldn't know much 'bout reality if it hit him with a comet. And that French jerk Chardin? Starving myself, and getting my head sucked as a show of affection weren't my sort of thing at all."
"Then what are you going to do? Go after girls? There are plenty of those around," she told him, a sly smile tugging at her mouth.
"Well, I ain't too sure as ta what gonna happen. That Rei girl's pretty, but she ain't exactly a real fun date. And that doctor gal?"
"Ritsuko?"
"Yeah. Her. She's kinda... scary, ya know."
"Oddly enough, I think that I do know."
"Good ta hear."
"But what about Maya? Short haired girl. Assistant to the doctor?"
"Dunno. I think that she's too busy with hangin' 'round her boss ta really see anyone else."
"You have no idea," the officer muttered, ruefully shaking her head.
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Anyone else?"
"Not sure. I mean, there's gotta be a lot of girls nearby, right?"
"True enough. And it looks like we'll be getting some others soon enough."
"I just hope that she's someone that has some life to her," Ranma grumbled. "And ain't exactly been lookin' ta do somethin' nasty ta others."
"Me too. And you know what?"
"What?"
"Watching that movie made me feel kind of... grimy. I'll be taking a bath."
"Enjoy yourself," he replied, absently flicking one hand.
Blinking, Misato wondered if he was too caught up in other things to notice that she was a girl too. Fortunately, she wasn't looking for him to give her some sort of attention of her own, and put his reaction to her as something that happened due to his distracted thoughts.
As the soldier moved, he saw the rise of her breasts, and remembered that she was female too. Not only was she a woman, but she was also quite pretty too.
"Okay, this is gonna be strange," he muttered to himself, images of himself living, in close quarters, with a beautiful woman who would likely dress in simple outfits that'd show a lot of skin. Sighing to himself, he covered his face with his hand, while:
