You're already useful...

[bakaomi]

Uh huh.

[usogi]

Bakaomi...

[senri pulls back just enough that he can lift his head and face him]

I'm serious. Please don't try to atone for something that wasn't your fault.

[bakaomi]

Some things aren't that easy.

[ "what guilt" whispers in the wind ]

[usogi]

[ . . . . ]

I know - and I don't expect everything to be solved as quick as that.

But you know I'm here, right? I know I'm not Yumapi or Hari - [or anyone that could manage to understand Taka better] - but... we're partners.

I may not always say the right thing, but I want to support you too, in the ways that I can.

[bakaomi]

[ he sighs, and the hand that had pulled senri's cheek earlier moves to same spot on his cheek again.

he doesn't pull this time. ]

I was arguing with Ray about you on Friday. It wasn't serious, we just usually always fight about dumb shit when we run into each other. But then he got very serious and said that you say nice things about me in private.

[ which taka knew already, since senri had admitted it

but still. ]

[usogi]

[ . . . .

senri just scoffs]

Ah. I've been betrayed.

[bakaomi]

[ he snorts ]

I think he got mad because I wasn't saying how much I love you.

[usogi]

Of course you wouldn't, you don't even like me.

[he says as taka lets him stay in his bed and share a blanket and

he's not going to think about any of that]

[bakaomi]

[ they're literally pressed against each other but nah it's fine

this is casual ]

You're so annoying.

[usogi]

Uh-huh.

[and he leans against taka's hand, pressing against the touch]

But that's nothing you didn't already know.

[bakaomi]

You kind of make it hard to forget.

[ he's pretty sure his heart is beating faster than it should be, but he is trying to ignore it ]

[usogi]

... well, I don't know how to be any other way.

[and he pulls away then, but only so that he can press his face entirely into taka's shoulder instead, if only to hide his expression since he can't quite control his face at the moment]

We should - go to bed, Bakaomi.

[bakaomi]

... yeah. It's been a long day.

[ because that is definitely the only thing he is trying to run away from at this exact moment in time. ]

[usogi]

... good night.

[and he'll just. try to fall asleep like that, curled again taka, waiting for his heartbeat to chill out too.]
