Where to even begin with this guy...

Even when Solomon was fucking around at the beginning, he quickly established himself as someone not only experienced in magic, but someone interested in teaching and researching it, which means of course that he sucks and is evil. Where others got the grace of being considered basically normies that just so happened to end up with magic, Solomon was someone to be wary of, no better than the magic users from Ahito's own world.

Still, Ahito had decided early on that he'd do what was necessary to return to his own world, even if that meant reluctantly working alongside bonafide magic users. During tea after Khun nearly killed Mika, Ahito revealed his past to Solomon partially to get him to understand enough to back off, and partially for the shock factor - he is, in the end, a teen who delights in scary stories, and part of that is freaking people out with The Horrors. It ended up working even better than expected, however, when he realized Solomon was distressed by the whole breaking promises thing, something Ahito would use as a bluff for the rest of their time in wizard world. While Ahito really did have no intention of losing his magic on purpose in this world, there was always a chance that if someone called him on the bluff he would have doubled down and actually done it, so GOOD THING SOLOMON TREATED IT WITH THE PROPER SEVERITY TBH.

He really built up an image of Solomon in his mind that wasn't exactly accurate to Solomon's actual nature. As a magic user who didn't properly value the lives of anything not human, Ahito believed that Solomon's only interest in him was either because he happened to be human and/or he happened to be useful for his skill with magic. It's incredibly difficult for him to believe a magic user of Solomon's ilk could come to genuinely care about people, and this was a major reason for all the contention between them. Given his history as a guinnea pig, it was pretty easy for him to assume that any interest in him was more related to his magic than his actual self, and while he doesn't actually have personhood issues from that he does get his hackles raised when he thinks he's just being used again or, worse, raised in value over others for it. He is SO ready to start a fight just because he thinks he's being viewed more as a resource than a person, especially after his survival was prioritized over Mizuki's for that very reason.

(but he is still strong ok he's not a liability ok he's very cool actually!!! but he's not just a tool either!!!!!!)

ANYWAY, MUCH LIKE TATARA Solomon was basically working from a huge disadvantage to begin with hahaha. He (and you by extension) put in soooo much work to finally get it through Ahito's thick skull that he genuinely cares while Ahito spent the majority of the time being a hissy cat about it. Because it really was just! So hard for him to wrap his head around, even when Solomon was right in front of him having his mind read, or speaking under truth compulsion. He actually did accept and understand it to be honest but like... man, accepting that on a personal level really sucked and it pissed him off so bad that Solomon was being proven without a doubt to actually mean what he said. How dare he not match Ahito's imagined version of him, terribly rude tbqh.

Still, once he was able to accept that he... well, honestly he still didn't particularly LIKE Solomon, but even if he was grumpy about it he wasn't as interested in rubbing salt in the proverbial wound at the slightest opportunity. He became more willing to actually work alongside Solomon, even if he was going to still be a rude brat about it. Truly, Solomon won the hard-earned prize of "the shitty teenager now tolerates you" :') But hey, in the end, all of that is precisely why he actually approached Solomon, specifically to find a solution to the magic imbued in his eyes - he certainly wouldn't have if Solomon hadn't put in all that work, which means...! .......Uh, Solomon worked extremely hard for mostly Ahito's benefit in the end. Rip.

THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT CR AND ALSO FOR PUTTING UP WITH HIS STUPID ASS!!!
