... Ray-kun was being stupid. [and he sighs] I know why he tried to keep it from me in the first place, but that lie didn't even last a day.... Sometimes he underestimates me too.
[ . . . ]
Sieg-kun was the one who told me that Ray-kun was the one who left Love. I guessed the rest from there.
It's not that I didn't think you'd figure it out. But I know you protect Ray a lot especially... you don't even tell me his alignment or anything. So, I figured if he didn't want to tell you just yet...
.... don't get me wrong, I care about Ray-kun a lot. I don't want anything to happen to him, even though I know he's a lot more capable than me.
[ . . . ]
But he's like you, where I think sharing your alignment is an easy way to lose your trust completely. [pours one out for madoka] Ray-kun makes up for a lot of my shortcomings, and vice versa. It would've been too risky to tell anyone his alignment, if there was ever a chance it could come back to him.
We're friends now, because things have obviously changed - but there's a reason why the two of you are exceptions to the fact that I otherwise tell you both everything. I want to protect you more than anyone else. I want to keep Ray's trust more than anyone else.
[he shrugs and cuddles in closer to taka]
I've... been trying really hard to be good to you this game.
[ he lets his hand run through senri's hair, playing with it lightly. ]
I was annoyed that people kept only talking to me if it was about you. It was like that was all I was here for a while, just someone you happened to know from home. I didn't get that from the gods though, so I ended up talking to them a lot.
[ ... ]
But that was my fault, and I'd probably be dead if it weren't for you.
[his expression softens as he nods and leans in to press their lips together again in a lingering kiss. he moves one of his legs over taka's hip so that senri can octopus cling onto him, leaving no space between them.]

For a while, it was a strategic choice.

... who did that....
[he's incredibly unhappy about this???]
You're here on your own merit. You contribute a lot in trials, and always do what you can for people. That has nothing to do with me.
no subject
Don't worry about it. I think I'm figuring things out.
no subject
... okay.
At least... me, Ishirin-san, Ray-kun, Sasuke... We want to help you, okay?
Even though I know it's kind of hard to ask a bunch of emos to learn about opening up together...

... You should kiss me now.

but then he gives him another one that is less so, before pulling away. ]
Is that okay?
no subject
More than okay.

[ because senri thrives under affection and attention. ]

he hums softly as he nuzzles gently against taka's cheek]
I'd let you.
I'd always let you.
[it is like ass o'clock in the morning and neither of them have gotten any sleep?]

That goes to you too.

Then please give me a lot of attention to make up for our fight.
