If they're like Chizuru then you're doomed.

[ just like

senri specifically. ]

[1/2]

[usogi]

Why are you abandoning me so quickly?!

We're partne—

[usogi]

[ . . . oh. technically they're not.]

... are we still partners?

[bakaomi]

... do you want to be?

[ since technically senri is the one who has always been more adamant about getting out of the partnership. taka goes along with it, yeah, but only after senri puts his plans in motion. ]

[usogi]

[he expected a no.

it's pretty clear on his face that he was expecting taka to run from him, just like how senri always tried to.]

... you know that means you'd have to trust me.

[in a way it's even more than their dream lives - it's not just about risking a nightmare that might make some people sick, it's about feeling the actual pain of death]

[bakaomi]

[ "You know what the scariest thing in the world is? Trusting other people."

he glances from senri then at the ground. ]

You might hate me but I don't think you want me dead.

[usogi]

[ . . . . he thinks about touji, who needed to be told that he was friends with senri and yuma.

yet for some reason those words don't actually make it out of senri's mouth because - ]

I don't really know if we're friends. We get along different from the other first years.

But even when I really want to hit you, that doesn't mean I want to see someone else try to hurt you.

You get that much, right?

[bakaomi]

[ he can't really blame senri. taka has reached a point where he can admit that touji and yuma are his friends. like, he has to be pressed for it, and he won't say it often, but he can't say the same thing about senri.

they fight too much. they're always at each other's throats to the point where it sometimes seems like they were sabotaged when they were made partners. but. ]

I don't want you dead either.

[usogi]

[ . . . . mm, for now, that's enough.]

Want to play our own game, Shishimaru?

If you guess my god, I'll tell you if you're right. One guess a week until you get it.

... and I'll tell you now that I'm playing for the same reason that I want the top seat in the academy.

[even if he never told taka exactly what that was.]

[bakaomi]

That tells me nothing.

[ you bitch

but he relaxes more in his seat. ]

Fine. Same to you then, with the guesses.

[usogi]

[and he laughs a little bc he's annoying]

You're playing for the same thing too, aren't you?

[well, he guesses taka would. this is a little different from their academy but.]

Is your god Justice?

[bakaomi]

Nah.

[ although he's not surprised at the guess. ]

My turn. Ambition?

[usogi]

What kind of person do you think I am...

[ugh]

Nope.

[bakaomi]

Shouldn't actors be ambitious? You're not going to get very far otherwise, dumb rabbit.

[ smh ]

[usogi]

Of course I have some amount of ambition - I wouldn't go to our academy if I didn't. But that's not really what I'm praying for or hope to have at the center of my person, you know?

If you're gonna play it like that, what kind of detective doesn't chase justice?

[god!!]

[bakaomi]

Justice wasn't a choice.

[ so leave him alone ]

[usogi]

Oh.

[awkward]

... okay, I'll guess again next week.

[bakaomi]

[ he just shrugs. ]

Yeah. Okay.

[usogi]

[senri waits like he was debating on something

. . . .

and then he sighs

and points to the boxes of food]

One of those is a hamburger.

[he was going to eat it in front of taka if he made him angry but

disaster avoided]

[bakaomi]

[ senri you fucking bitch

but since taka doesn't know that, he just tilts his head. ]

Did you hit your head?

[usogi]

I can always take it back.

[and eat it in front of you]

[bakaomi]

You can't offer something to someone then take it back, you bastard.

[ he gets up to grab the box before senri does that. ]

[usogi]

Get me the other box, I got a slice of cake for me.

[this is snacktime now]

[bakaomi]

[ UGH

he takes that one to and sets it on the bed before going back to his spot on the floor. ]

[usogi]

[senri watches this happen

but also like





scoots over on the bed?]
