[senri pauses - because something irritated manages to cut through the depression and he can't stop himself from asking - ]

What?

[bakaomi]

Huh? Do you mean how she was exasperated?

[ he turns to face senri more fully. ]

[usogi]

She... flirted with you?

[senri,]

[bakaomi]

Yeah?

[ he's not sure why senri is stuck on this. he's pretty sure senri flirts with people all the time. ]

She was probably trying to win me over.

[usogi]

.... gross.

[HE'S MAD LMFAO but he presses his face slightly more into the pillow instead, and keeps holding onto taka's hand.]

Mmph. You won't go to her team, right...?

[bakaomi]

[ he is taking the "gross" the wrong way and is assuming it's an insult against him??

so he glances away ]

Nah.

[usogi]

[ . . . ]

Okay.

[he relaxes but only slightly]

... do you think she would've asked one of her followers to do that to Chuuya-san?

[bakaomi]

... I don't know. We can't discount the possibility, but it's hard to theorize properly until tomorrow.

[ it looks like he wants to say something else, but instead he pauses before he lets go of senri's hand

so that he can easily roll over and set his head against senri's chest. hm. ]

[usogi]

[what the

senri blinks - but also it's not like. he. doesn't want affection right now so he ends up wrapping his arms around taka's shoulders?]

... someone cursed you again, huh.

[bakaomi]

[ he's quiet for a second ]

You could say that.

[usogi]

[ . . . ]

You're lucky my phone's too far to take a picture.

[and he'll press his cheek against the top of taka's head]

[bakaomi]

Shut up.

[ he's quiet after that. and then, ]

I have something I need to tell you, but you can't tell anyone, even if you might want to.

[usogi]

[ . . . .

senri blinks and tries to tilt his head so he can better see taka's expression.]

... Okay.

[bakaomi]

[ yeah, good luck with that. he is purposely angling it so that senri cannot see shit. ]

Have you wondered what my power is? You never asked.

[usogi]

[ . . . . ]

I don't know the powers that well - and I figured you wouldn't use it on me and that was the important part.

[his brow furrows and close as they are, taka can probably feel senri's heartbeat pick up nervously]

Shishimaru....?

[bakaomi]

I can break curfew. Last night I left and went to the woods in the west wing. There were two people on the ice at the pond, and the ice broke and they both fell through it.

[ he actually looks up at that. ]

[usogi]

[oh my fucking god]

Do...

Do you know who?

[bakaomi]

No. They were too far away... one was carrying the other. I guess they were knocked out? Or something, I dunno. But that one suddenly started moving, and they fought, and the ice broke.

[ he pauses again. ]

By the time I reached the pond there was no sign of them.

[usogi]

[ . . . . jesus christ.

Senri pauses for a second, and then he'll shuffle so it's easier for him to wrap his arms around taka, and hold him close.]

... I won't tell anyone. I...

[his voice wavers for a second and he has to take a second to just let out a breath]

.... Sorry. That you had to see that. Sorry I wasn't with you....

[he can't imagine what taka is going through right now??]

[bakaomi]

Mm.

[ there's a lot he could probably say, but he can't really settle on anything. so he just focuses on listening to senri's heartbeat for a moment. ]

I just need to clear my head.

[usogi]

[it's a little too fast, and feels a little too painful, but his heart is still definitely beating.]

.... okay.

Whatever you need.

[ . . . ]

Want me to make a burger...?

[bakaomi]

[ there's a sound that could be a laugh, but it's not quite there. ]

I'm not that hungry.

[usogi]

[ . . . . and senri just nods before burying his face in taka's hair.]

.... let me know if you change your mind.

[ . . . ]

I don't really wanna go anywhere right now.

[bakaomi]

I don't either.

[ although he knows they'll have to eventually. ]

... sorry. For dumping this on you.

[ senri would probably be much happier not knowing about it. ]

[usogi]

.... we're partners, aren't we?

[and he smiles faintly, even if his heart isn't entirely in it.]

I would've been extra angry if you didn't tell me.

So more like... thanks for trusting me with this. I...

I don't know what to say again. And I don't know how to make it better. But I'm really glad that you're not carrying it alone.
