tl;dr maybe friends

GOD OKAY this CR is so delightful because it's just so weird and I don't even know how to describe it. You toss together two kinds of very odd people who aren't very socially savvy and you get....this. Whatever this is. It's certainly nothing altogether too normal--

But okay. At first, Sousei really did think Milla didn't like him, for the record. They had just met and she was already verbally abrasive to him. He's used to taking verbal abuse, so it didn't necessarily bother him, but the fact that she would then proceed to tell him that he was a good captain and to offer him soup, to ask about his preferences....all of those things? Weird. Not the sort of thing someone who dislikes someone would do. And then she agreed to go to tea with them, which while he chalks up mostly to Tenka's very forceful personality, he has to admit that she can't hate him if she doesn't mind spending time with him.

So then, if she doesn't hate him, what are they exactly? He's not sure. He honestly doesn't mind spending time with her or talking with her either, honestly. She's odd, but she's blunt, and he appreciates bluntness in a person. She's competent enough, and honestly? She's kind of entertaining.

Sousei has an odd sense of humor, but she's managed to pull the more wry, teasing aspect out of him and has amused him more than once, just by how she is. So it's not like it's a hardship to spend time with her; she doesn't bug him.

(That is the definition of friendship, Sousei)

BUT THEY AREN'T FRIENDS.

Okay, but more honestly, they are friends. The problem is, Sousei is socially stunted in his own way. He's not necessarily tsundere, but he isn't really familiar with friendship as a concept. His best friends, Tenka and Kiiko, are family more than anything. Everyone else in his life is either more family (the Yamainu), or his subordinates (also the Yamainu, but also mostly Takeda), or his fanclub (see: Soramaru). So the reason he won't admit that they're friends is mostly because he legitimately doesn't realize that this is what friendship is. Maybe someday he'll figure it out so he can admit it then...

And on a side note, he is really interested in her as a person. He has a personal refusal to pry into other peoples' lives, but her "former Lord of Spirits" title and the way she reacted when he said it was still a part of her was interesting. He thinks that she has some issues that she needs to work out, but she won't if she never talks about them.

Still, since THEY AREN'T FRIENDS he doesn't necessarily think that it's his place to try to help her with those things anyway. But if she ever did need his help with something, he'd give it without hesitation, because he likes her, and her attitude, and the way she tackles things.

tl;dr: totally friends, he just hasn't realized it yet
