[ ...

he holds onto senri's arm, his expression thoughtful. ]

I want to stay with Merriment.

[ he remembers, weeks ago, when senri had asked him if he was going to switch to whoever was going to win instead of staying loyal. ]

But I'll switch if I have to.

[usogi]

[and Senri's heart twists a little at that.]

.... I know. I want to stay with Cheri too.

But - we won't have enough numbers to win otherwise.... right?

[bakaomi]

Yeah... I wasn't expecting Ambition's numbers to be so high.

[ they were all much more even last week, so he thought it might be like that again. ]

[usogi]

.... well two of them weren't supposed to be here this week.

[but he says that softly - like he can't quite bring himself to be angry that people are alive. he might've been more openly torn up about it last week but.]

... but -

I can't even blame them. I like Bambi. I actually think she could create a great world, after all this is over. If it was just me, I'd switch to her team at the end to make sure that I could get Ray-kun's wish granted.

... but it's not just me.

[bakaomi]

... the thing is, it's really hard to tell if people switched to her because of that or just because they want to use her powers.

[ so it might be easy to convince others, but... ]

We'll see. We have until the end of the week to decide, right?

[usogi]

Yeah. Sunday is the last day. I'm... going to talk to everyone that I can talk to, and see if they'll agree with my plan. I know a lot of people are staying loyal to their gods, and I can't even blame them but...

[it's hard.

to try to get everyone's wishes granted, it's hard]

So far it sounds like... a lot of the people on that team do believe in her.

Or they're people I can't read like Ludger and Alex.

[bakaomi]

... I guess we'll see where everyone is leaning towards.

[ but if everyone decides to go ambition, taka isn't even sure if he should bother then since he's never really even considered her for winning.

... ]

If it turns out well, we might not even have a trial this weekend, so that means we'll have more time to discuss the final decision.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just frowns]

... yeah.

Think the no revenge rule means they can't retaliate against me for outing them?

I mean... Sasuke's staying with All Nighter anyway, to protect us but...

[bakaomi]

I'm giving you the brooch back.

[ senri had said only one night, before, and taka will hold him to that. ]

It looks better on you, anyway.

[usogi]

[and senri just laughs a little bit]

... we'll talk about it all together. I can hold onto it until Thursday, but I don't think it makes sense for me to have it when Sasuke will be awake anyway.

[bakaomi]

[ he frowns

and leans up to press a kiss to senri's forehead before the elevator door slide open ]

[usogi]

[senri will take the kiss - and then glance over to find the restaurant. he's entirely distracted as he perks up]

I found lunch!

[he'll stand up properly to peer his head out the elevator doors, laughing a little]

It just reminds me of the cafeteria in Shinonome....

[bakaomi]

At least a hotel has an excuse to be this fancy.

[ @tamaki ]

Come on, next floor.

[usogi]

[he'll wander back then and press the button to close the doors

leaning in to kiss taka once he returns to his side]

I don't want to hear that from someone who isn't even a commoner.

[bakaomi]

I'm nowhere near this bad.

[ shut up senri!! ]

[usogi]

A stealth rich...!

[senri hums]

We're like the Prince and the Pauper - but you know, gay.

[bakaomi]

Do you listen to the things you say?

[ he is so tired of his boyfriend ]

It's not even my money, it's my parent's, so don't think I can take you to places like that every day.

[usogi]

[and senri is just laughing]

That's true. I guess I'm still the money maker in the relationship.

[please stop]

[bakaomi]

... hearing you say that is kind of annoying.

[ the doors slide open for the next floor, the ballroom. ]

[usogi]

Solve more cases, make more money than me, I dare you.

[STOP BEING ANNOYING

but he'll do the same wandering out to peer through the doors

and turning back to taka]

Can we come back here to dance together again?

[bakaomi]

Mm?

[ he peeks out to get a better look at the room. ]

... sure.

[ considering how uh, that night ended for them. ]

[usogi]

[it's a little dumb how happy senri gets from that

but his expression brightens before he gives taka a kiss]

Party for two.

[bakaomi]

[ he wraps his arms around him, pulling him close ]

Should we dress up?

[usogi]

You want to?

[senri will loop his arms around taka's neck at that and the doors have to close behind them now thanks]

I think that sounds fun.

[bakaomi]

Mm. I figured it would be the kind of thing you'd be into.

[ being very extra for no reason, and fashion, ]
