You don't have to be perfect. Was Ryo the first person to ever just say that to Kazuhito? Was that the moment he fell in love? Was that the moment he realized that it truly was okay not to be perfect or has he never fully accepted that because everyone expected perfection from him? How much comfort did he take from that familiar heartbreat a decade later, from that reminder that perfection isn't the only way he has to be?
Random notes on the translation of Kare no Iru Seikatsu / Living with Him ep 3
This much is fine; Kazuhito kun is here after all.
He can do whatever he chooses to do.
He's really the most perfect of perfect.
On top of that, he even took part in Koshien (notes here)
Damn/wow, he's even mentally tough.
'Perfect (this)', 'perfect (that)'. You're saying that too much
Ryo kun, are things are going well (with Kazuhito)?
But I absolutely don't want to force things.
I want to prioritise how you feel.
It's not that I need an answer or anything like that.
I'm just letting you know that this is just how it is for me.
That's all it is.
Even though this is how I am feeling, I don't even understand it very well.
But maybe it's because we're close and all...
So (I) said (we) wouldn't
*It would be closer to: I told you we wouldn't (kiss), didn't I?
Note: Japanese leaves out a lot of words and favours context, as the sentence above shows
If you (Ryota) are fine with it, I don't mind things as they are
Note: Japanese relies on context and leaves out subjects, so Kazuhito says そのままで, which means as things are, but it isn't specific about what exactly that is.
I wasn't planning on saying anything, but (I got) found out anyway
*That was subject free 🤡🤡
Wait, before sleeping, shall we do it?
What?
Note: Much like in English, the verb, 'やる', which means do, can be used in an innocuous way or to suggest sex, which is why Ryota is taken aback
This type of relationship where I have nowhere to escape to; I've already told you I like you...
(Kazuhito is going through things thanks to his unrequited feelings and Ryota's attempts at making Kazuhito feel better or things less awkward between them are just making it harder for Kazuhito who is unable to get away Ryota, whom he lives with, or from his feelings for Ryota.)
(... I mean,) things are hard for you too, huh...
Note: Ryota says "つか", which is kind of a continuation of a thought or conversation in this case, which relates to how put together and perfect Kazuhito tries to present himself.
What is this half asleep behaviour?
Note: A closer translation may be 'what are you half asleeping', which makes little sense.
Kare no Iru Seikatsu / Living with Him language notes・Other language notes
Oh, the babies and the miscommunication and the way it makes sense for them and themselves so perfectly, my entire heart for them, just look at them! How dare they! And then the avoidance.
The forced smile and forced humor because of course he'd never like him like that, never like him for real, never him, not him, not his perfect friend who has all the girlfriends, his perfect friend already in love with someone else who isn't him. Oh, I love him so much and just want to wrap him up in a blanket and tell him to give people a chance to explain things but I also understand the scramble to smooth things out.
The torment on his face. Imagine having your crush ask you to kiss them and then watching him instantly panic and claim it was a joke when you don't even know if he's gay!? This poor boy. Both these poor boys, one forcing a smile and panicking and the other crushed because he was offered what he wanted and it turned out to be a prank.
(It wasn't, it wasn't, it won't be, they're both hurt and they don't need to be but it makes sense.)
