[senri will absolutely let taka take his hand

and when he does look at him, his expression is absolutely adoring]

... hey?

[ he slowly starts to lead them more towards the center of the room. ]

Hey.

[ it's repeatedly shyly. ]

[senri will go with him easily, and his expression softens]

... hey.

[again, before he leans in to press a soft kiss to taka's lips]

... you're cute.

[ he shakes his head. ]

You look amazing, Senri.

[ it really is no wonder people keep falling for him ]

[sldkfjslf oh.

senri just ends up blushing at that, because even though he'd been asking for attention earlier, he's still melting once he actually gets it from the one person he adores above all others]

.... thanks, Taka.

[but he'll still lean in for a kiss as they make it to the center of the ballroom floor]

[ and he kisses him back, of course, and then he wraps his arms around senri.

he wants to kiss him again, but he manages not to. ]

... I was talking to Rise earlier today.

[sldkfjsdf

senri laughs quietly and can't help but chide - ] You don't even want to try to waltz with me...

[but he'll just settle for wrapping his arms around taka's neck anyway]

... Rise-chan always has good things to say.

How is she?

She's alright. I showed her around the wings.

[ taka may not be as public about his god biases but they are real and out there ]

... we talked about you, I guess. [ aka he went to her to complain about people being in love with his boyfriend ] And I said something about you, and she asked me if I had told you it too, but I hadn't.

[ . . . and senri tilts his head quietly at that]

... a new insult, a Rise-chan exclusive....

Shut up, idiot.

[ anyway ]

I never told you about when I discovered Uribos, have I?

[senri shakes his head at that]

No, you hate most of my taste in music and don't talk about yours.

... I always go to the music store to check out new albums, every week. I've been doing it for a while. And one time, I found one of theirs.

[ he kisses senri on the cheek ]

I was depressed, and finding them was kind of like a sign. I never felt that strongly about something, until I listened to track after track and absorbed it all.

[ . . . and senri will just listen quietly at that, watching taka as they sway in time to the music.]

Mm...

I'm glad you found them. I wouldn't have guessed - I thought that they were a band you'd loved since you were little.

[ well, this is where things get a little trickier to admit.

he glances down towards their shoes. ]

I told her that... the way you make me feel, is just like that feeling. Like I've been saved.

[ . . . oh.]

... eh....?

[his heart squeezes in his chest]

Really...?

[sorry it's.

... taka loves uribos so much. he listens to their music all the time, and the way that his face lights up when he talks about how much they mean to him. it's... a little hard for senri to reconcile that he might feel even a fraction of the same way toward him]

Every time I look at you it's like when I hit play for the first time.

[ he leans his head against senri's shoulder. ]

So let me keep experiencing that feeling, forever and ever, okay?

[ . . . . and senri is just going to laugh quietly at that, as if the exhale will be enough to quiet the beating of his heart. it's fast, and full, and he's sure that his cheeks are burning but at the same time it's not like he wants it to stop]

... you're so embarrassing....

[but like.]

... I'm not going anywhere, Taka. I'll always be yours. As long as you want me.

If that's how you feel... I'll try my best to save you every time.

You don't have to try.

[ he pulls back so he can look at senri again. ]

You don't have to try, because I'm happy as long as I have you. You're like a favorite song.

[senri meets his gaze fondly, even though it feels like his heart is beating a thousand miles an hour in his chest. he leans in to press their foreheads together, as close as can be]

... you make me happier than I've ever been, Shishimaru Takaomi.

I finally feel less alone - because of you.

I love you.

[ it's been a weird few days

well, no, weeks, really. and takaomi never thought that his personal life would be as hectic as just trying to survive in a game like this, but here he is anyway. and it's still painful, thinking of how many different chances there were for someone else to speak up before he did and snatch senri away...

he'll just have to make sure no one gets the chance to. he'll make senri so happy he'll never consider what his life could have been otherwise, because taka doesn't want to think of a life without him for even a minute ]

I love you, too, Nito Senri.

[for so long, he'd thought about how there would never be someone for him. unless he found his family, people who were obligated to love him unconditionally, there wasn't a chance that he would ever be cared for, or looked after. but the longer that he looks at this boy, the more he knows that isn't true.

senri is in love with taka for so many reasons - for his kindness, even though it might be hard to find initially. for his dedication and loyalty, traits that senri admires above most others. for the way that he'll do his best and be alright with barely any attention for it at all.

they are so different and yet for some reason taka loves him, too.]

... you're everything I ever could've wished for and more.

[someone to love him unconditionally.

he leans in to press their lips together in a kiss, soft and lingering and so sweet that senri wouldn't mind if it lasted forever]

[ you would think that eventually they'll get bored of kissing

but he just holds onto senri more tightly as he kisses him back, because every time they do this it somehow still feels new and life changing. maybe that's part of what love is, having someone next to you that makes the most mundane things feel exciting. to have someone reach out for your hand at the same time you reach for theirs without either of you looking at each other.

love is nito senri. ]

You're going to give me a big ego if you say things like that.

[there's not a single chance that they'll ever get bored of kissing.

because senri will lean into taka easily at that, his heart still racing in his chest and threatening to leap right out of his throat with how much affection he feels. he's certain that it'd land right in taka's hands anyway, safe and sound. so he continues to kiss taka and sighs softly when he has to pull away]

... I think you could use a little more faith in yourself sometimes....

So I don't mind.

Just don't use it to be more annoying, please.

I'm always gonna annoy you.

[ it's said with another kiss, one that's so light but he doesn't pull away when he talks again ]

But I'll make up for it.

[he's so gay

he's so gay because he doesn't mind at all and he just sighs softly and his eyes flutter shut for a second]

... mm. I suppose I don't mind that much then...
