[ he shifts so that he can fit his arms around senri's waist, and he sighs. takaomi stays quiet again after that as he tries to quiet the buzzing that's going on in his head. ]
Sometimes... I think about if I hadn't said anything that day. And you'd still be so happy without me, and... as long that you're happy, that's fine. I want you to have the best life that you can, even if I'm not there.
So even if I'm mad, in the end all I can think of is how you're still next to me somehow despite everything else that could have happened. I never thought I could feel like this for another person, and it's only because of you.
[and senri just sighs softly before he presses his lips against taka's hair, kissing the side of his head as he continues to hold him close]
.... I don't always understand why you're with me. Why you still stay. You know better than anyone else how awful I can be. When I get angry, or jealous, or scared and so stupid things....
I don't want to lose you - but I always wonder what mistake I'll make that'll get you to realize I'm not worth it.
Because you always know better than I do. You're always kinder than I am, and smarter than I am....
But I want to be better. So I can try to match you, or get even a little close.
I don't blame you for being mad.... but please don't change your mind yet.
[ it's said so firmly, and he shifts his position so he can put his hand on senri's face and gently turn it so that they can look at each other properly. ]
I'm smart, but there's so much I don't know about, or how to do. I would have never lasted this long if I didn't have you next to me. I wouldn't know half of the things I do here if you didn't tell me them. You put yourself out there, week after week, knowing it could potentially make you a target. You're so brave.
[ he presses his lips against senri's, and pulls away. ]
[senri leans in - because at the end of the day, he's weak. taka can call him brave all he wants, but senri knows what the truth is. he's selfish. so long ago he was told that the more he was known to the other participants, to the gods, the more he'd be protected. this entire time, he's only wanted to be protected and even now.
taka is going to protect him, like he had every other week. it makes senri shut his eye quietly as he tries to press his face into taka's neck as he clings on, holding him close so he can't pull away]
.... you're my future, Taka. We're going to eat every burger in the world, and travel a lot, and live together after graduation, and I always want to keep you with me.
[ . . . ]
I'll... find a way to be honest with you from now on. Even if it's hard. Even past this game... I'll do my best, as long as it's for you.
[ it's all he can do, and even if senri lies again, taka will just keeps believing him because at this point he's willing to sacrifice some of himself if it means he gets to keep senri. it's worth it. ]
We're going to pick a place together, and argue about how we're going to decorate. You're going to throw out my curtains and I won't talk to you for half a day, and you'll probably end up handcuffing yourself to me with one of your magician tricks until I'm forced to pay attention to you.
[ his voice is low enough that the only reason senri can hear him is because he's so close. ]
[it's just as soft, and senri still can't help but smile from where he's pressed against taka, holding onto him and leaning gently against him]
... I'll get even better at acting. You'll have to deal with my big head when I get posters with my face on them plastered around Shibuya. But once I make enough money, we'll find a place where you can get your own room for half of our video game collection, and you can put your stupid burger curtains there. I want to make sure to keep them out of our bedroom, where there's just one bed and not two nailed into the floor.
because even when his emotions are complicated and he's upset, he's decided to hold onto senri and make it work. so he kisses him eagerly, and a little desperately, because even when he doesn't know how to express how he's feeling with words, he can try to do it with a kiss. ]
[sometimes their words don't always work for them completely - but there was still the chance to talk it out, and what they decided on was that more than anything else, they're still in love.
and that's all that senri really needs. he'll take the kisses from taka, matching them easily as he holds him close, chasing after his mouth with each kiss. heat curls in the pit of his stomach, but more than that is the squeezing feeling in his chest as he gets to remember that he's being taken care of, there's someone that still wants him, through everything.
his hands might move on their own as he tries to lift taka's shirt up and up and up though]
[they're doing their best and senri laughs against taka's lips - and tries to talk against them too, even as he tries to claim more kisses]
Cheri said [kiss] that the solution for me crying on you so much [kiss] and ruining your shirts [kiss] is that I might as well just take it right off you.
[nevermind that senri has not cried on taka today
and he was actually very embarrassed when he had that conversation with sincerity]
[ he blinks in surprise, and his cheeks redden more?? not that he can be too surprised, considering sincerity was the one who told taka to crossdress for senri. ]
[ it's a little weird to be the only one shirtless, but senri had time to sit with the removing an article of clothing plan, so taka would have to work his way towards it. it's fine. ]

Maybe you can have a burger pillow.

[ he presses a kiss to the side of senri's head. ]
We're going to have to pick a bed in the dorm. I can't sleep without you.
[ he doesn't even want to make the attempt. ]
no subject
You can choose. I don't care, as long as you're there.
[disgusting]
no subject
[ bad ]
no subject
What?
What kind of tests, Shishimaru-kun? Enlighten me.
no subject
[ he kisses senri again, soft and lingering ]
What are you thinking of...?
no subject
and kisses taka again]
I guess you'll have to see when we get back.
[hm]
no subject
Can I get a hint?
no subject
but senri will just offer up an innocent smile before pulling his hands back
just so that he can slip them up the back of taka's shirt, resting on his lower back]
I'll have to think about it.
no subject
his cheeks flush at that, and he leans forward to lick at senri's lips. ]
Mm?
no subject
because senri's automatic response after that is just to chase after taka's mouth for a kiss, deepening it automatically
he'll move to lean back, but uses his hands on taka to gently pull him closer and closer so that they can both lie down on the couch]

he pauses, nibbling slightly on senri's lip as he pulls away just a tiny, tiny bit, so he can talk. ]
Looking for something?
[ and then he brings their mouths together again, because apparently three words were as long as he could go without kissing him. ]
no subject

For some reason, you love me.

Horny rabbit.
no subject
that still manages to get senri to blush even though he's definitely the one who took taka's shirt off but
he's still going to press their lips together]
Shut up....
no subject
[ when he pulls away from the kiss, he moves so he can drag his lips across senri's jawline, pressing small kisses along it. ]
