... 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.

[usogi]

[ . . . . ugh.

senri pauses, if only because those sure are odd words to hear when you've been alone most of your life. he pauses, and his smile worries into something faintly touched.]

... I need you too.

[and he'll peer up again to press his lips to taka's

when he pulls away, he also looks away]

It's okay... I might just need to - get better at letting go.

[because he's not used to having anything he cared about losing either]

[bakaomi]

... we still have time to figure things out.

[ it may not seem like a lot from where they're standing, but look at how much progress they've made in the short time that's already passed?

he leans his head against senri's, closing his eyes. ]

The game's not over yet.

[usogi]

[senri just sighs as he leans against taka too]

... he doesn't want to come back with us. He has to take care of his village, and there are people waiting for him. I can't ask him to leave all that.

[bakaomi]

Maybe there's something else we can do...

[ interdimensional cell phones? he doesn't know. they'll probably have to ask. ]

... but you are important to him, you know.

[usogi]

[senri just snorts at that]

He... cares about me enough, I guess. It's probably because it's been a while since he's had anyone that wouldn't hate him for all the stupid things he does.

And he cares about you too, you know, even though he's really bad at saying anything about it.

[bakaomi]

[ he just makes a Face at that ]

[usogi]

Stop it.

[senri laughs even as he gives taka another kiss]

... well, I'm glad you two are getting along better so you can't get jealous all the time.

[bakaomi]

When have I ever been jealous?

[ lmao ]

[usogi]

Often. So often. You're almost more jealous of Sasuke than Beauty sometimes.

[WHICH SENRI THINKS IS HILARIOUS???]

[bakaomi]

You're always hanging off of him!!

[usogi]

If I don't get physical, he'll just walk away from me or work himself into an angry mess when I don't have the words to show that I care about him.

[bakaomi]

[ he looks away ]

Sometimes it just gets annoying seeing you cling to other people like that when you can't really...

[ do the same with him unless there's a convenient excuse like being cold. ]

[usogi]

[taka is

very cute

and senri's expression just softens as he nuzzles into taka's cheek]

.... I'll find more excuses to cling to you soon.

I want to hold your hand all the time.

[bakaomi]

You're so gross.

[ he says as if he didn't just admit that's what he wants like two seconds ago ]

[usogi]

Mm-hmm.

[and he'll kiss Taka's cheek!]

Just wondering.... how did you get Catra-san to tell you her alignment anyway?

[bakaomi]

I asked her what her alignment was, she said no, I asked again, she asked why I wanted to know, and I said I was looking for Ambition followers.
