[bakaomi]

...

[ spoiled brat

and yet taka is the one doing the spoiling, because he sets down his bag (does he usually carry a bag??) to walk over to senri and leans down to kiss him. ]

[usogi]

[so fucking spoiled.

senri reaches his arms up to loop around taka's neck and keep him in place so he can claim that kiss happily]

Got a souvenir?

[tilts his head to look at the bag]

[bakaomi]

Something like that.

[ not like he can go get it since senri is attached to him. ]

Catra says she's with Ambition.

[usogi]

[he really should let taka go

except he might've gotten someone's alignment?? so he's just going to hum and kiss him again!]

I knew you could do it. ♥

[bakaomi]

[ taka happily accepts his prize. ]

It went a lot better than I expected it to since she didn't push me off the roof.

[usogi]

[he'll kiss taka's cheeks too]

... first rule of doing alignment business for the future: don't corner people on roofs.

[bakaomi]

I figured that if she pushed me off then Sasuke would just magically appear there to catch me.

[usogi]

Oh, that's what I assume too.

[bakaomi]

Speaking of Sasuke...

[ he gives senri another kiss and then

tries to move away ]

[usogi]

[what

senri leans into the kiss and will loosen his hold so taka can actually pull away but like]

... I don't think I'm going to like where this is going, if that's your lead-in.

[bakaomi]

[ it's fine?

he just walks over to the bag and pulls out

this shit ]

[usogi]

[ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ]

I hate him more than anyone else here.

By far.

[bakaomi]

I can throw it now.

[ they practiced ]

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri's just.

exhausted. he laughs but also like - ]

... did you say thank you?

[bakaomi]

No.

[ :/ ]

[usogi]

You should've.

[senri pauses]

.... he told me that he wants me to go back home, with you - just the two of us.

I guess he realized that I was thinking that he might benefit from a little normalcy, and I was going to try to ask him to come back with us, too.

[bakaomi]

... he asked me to try to convince you to forget about him.

[ he sets the weapon down, before sitting down on the futon. ]

[usogi]

[ . . . .

somewhere beneath the comical upset there is real upset but what comes out is still]

Why is he so mean.

[bakaomi]

[ he brushes senri's hair out of his face. ]

He said that he doesn't want you to get hurt.

[usogi]

.... it comes with being friends with someone when your paths don't get to keep going in the same direction. I've... That's what this whole game is...

I can tell Zo to come to one of my shows all I want, but unless I can get a god to help me make that happen....

[he sort of just. falls forward so that he can press his face into taka's chest]

You know he doesn't have any hobbies? So we're gonna play video games with him. But can you imagine? It's like a novel or a movie - growing up without anything fun, just trauma. No chance to make friends...

[bakaomi]

[ he wraps his arms around him for a hug. ]

A lot of this is like a story... a lot of the time people say things and I don't know how to react to it.

[ it makes their problems feel so small, in comparison. ]

I'll have to talk to him.

[usogi]

[senri will absolutely accept this hug thank you very much.]

... What are you going to say?

[bakaomi]

Last time I told him that you're too stubborn to let that happen.

[ and then he let the subject drop, because sasuke had just lost an eye less then 24 hours ago and it did not seem like the time to discuss that. ]

But I think he kind of needs you.

[usogi]

[oh.

senri blinks but also can't help but laugh at that]

You're being dramatic. No one really needs me.

[bakaomi]

I need you.

[ it's said firmly, and immediately, and his hold on senri tightens a fraction ]

... but others do too, I guess.
