and rests his head against taka's shoulder as if it'll manage to obscure his expression. even if he's trying to keep his face neutral, his eyes look a bit sad]
[and he'll just curl in a little bit closer, wrapping his arms around taka and letting his fingers cling onto the cloth of his shirt. he hooks his leg around taka's too, tangling them up together as much as he can]
[senri leans into the touch, but his eye grows a little wide. he leans in to press his lips to taka's, as if a kiss will be enough to mend the divide between them]
he isn't sure what does it. if it's the desperation in the kiss or his expression, or if it's the words, or even if it's just the stress from weeks of being here. but it's like-- something snaps, finally, and taka starts to cry.
he ignores that though, and instead just pulls senri into another kiss. ]
something in senri's heart breaks a little bit when he sees taka cry, but he'll go with the kiss anyway. he thinks he'd probably go with anything that taka could possibly want, if it'll make him feel a little bit better. he presses their lips together once, twice, before he pulls away to kiss taka's cheeks as if that'll help to kiss away the tears]
[ after the kisses, taka pulls away slightly so he can try to wipe at his face. he knows that senri doesn't react too well when other people cry around him, that he gets upset too, so it'll be better if he stopped. ]
[senri doesn't hesitate to give taka another kiss, soft and gentle]
... when nothing else is going right, I think of you.
Because you're steady, when I'm not. Because you're brave, when I'm not. Because you're - so much kinder than I am, at the heart of things.
I don't need you to be anyone or anything else besides... you. [his hand comes up to taka's hair, running his fingers through his locks] You match me in a way that no one else can even try to.
[ it's hard, to fight the thought that senri could do so much better when there have been so many people who want him. it's daunting. taka never really thought that he'd fall in love, and he definitely didn't think that it'd be like... this
but senri's voice is so soothing. ]
... thank you for wanting to spend your life with me.
[and he'll move to cup taka's cheek with one hand, thumb brushing away any tear tracks on his own, even as senri goes to kiss the other side of his face gently]
I'm sorry... that you ever had room to doubt how much you mean to me.
[it's not like senri will ever be upset about hearing how much he means to someone - he's incredibly needy at the end of the day, built up after years and years of not mattering enough to anyone. hearing that taka loves him so much makes him melt so completely.]
... I love you, my brave lion.
[but.
taka does... have a point.]
... I don't know... Maybe it was my fault - but I... [sighs] Ever since we started dating, I tried to be on good behavior... I didn't want to lead anyone on, even if they didn't know we were together...
I must've failed that somewhere - I don't think I was paying attention either.
I guess I just didn't think it was possible for anyone else to want me. I'm... kind of troublesome... You know that better than anyone else.
[stop it taka's cute even when he's crying, be nice. or at least - that's what senri thinks as he will continue to gently wipe away taka's tear tracks with his thumb and give him gentle kisses on his face.]
.... I make a lot of mistakes, and... I'm still really selfish at the end of the day. I still tell lies to people who aren't you, and...
[ . . . ]
I... It's something I've never had before - to have so many people care about me.
But I never wanted it to be a burden on you. I never want you to think that there'll be anything that could pull me from your side.

but senri will just give taka another kiss at that because that's soft and he'll just softly murmur against taka's lips]
.... I love you. No matter what, I get to go home with you.
no subject
Mm. I love my boyfriend.

and senri will just laugh quietly and nuzzle gently in taka's cheek]
.... really glad I didn't get turned to stone.
I wouldn't be able to kiss you like this.

It's awkward. And any time it stopped being awkward, one of us would say something that would mess it up.
no subject
.... because of me?
I don't want to think that you talk about me all the time - I'd prefer if you didn't but...
[this case seems especially
likely]

[ there's no point in saying otherwise ]
no subject
Sorry.

I'm kind of stupid. [ ... ] It was just more complicated than it was with Sasuke.

How can I show you?
How can I remind you I love you and only you?

Taka...
I'm right here - I'm not going anywhere.

I know. I know, it's stupid.

Whatever you're feeling, it's not stupid.
You can talk to me about it... if you want to.

[ he can get so embarrassingly mushy when it comes to senri, but it also feels like it's something he needs to hear. that they both need to. ]
I'm just... sorry that it wasn't as easy as it should be.

You're so special, Senri. So I'm not surprised that I wasn't the only one who saw that.
