[that's... fine. poor taka had to deal with that and senri is on top of him and he's pushing himself up so that they're not just a stupid tangled heap but]
... You—
[ . . . ]
But.... how? I've just - made a lot of mistakes, and....
[how could taka like him? when he was right in saying earlier that senri makes a lot of trouble, and is a giant handful who gets cursed and endures small explosions one after another.]
If it's a curse then someone is really determined to curse me every week...
[ he regrets saying anything. he shouldn't have said anything. absolutely nothing good could come from opening his mouth, and it must be the stress from this place that made him do something so idiotic. ]
But if it's easier for you, we can just say it's a curse and move on.
and senri just shakes his head before pressing his face into taka's shoulder, not letting him get up but also trying to hide the blush that he knows is coloring his face.]
.... it doesn't have to be a curse.
I just - want to be sure.
It's.... I wouldn't hate it, if it wasn't a curse.
[and senri's expression settles into something soft and fond.]
.... don't get mad - but I have one more date tomorrow. I think there's... something I need to wrap up with Beauty. And that's me trying to be honest with you instead of hiding it. Even though it's really tempting to not tell you at all....
[ . . . ]
But I -
.... will you believe me now, when I say that I can't play this game without you?
no subject
Whaaaaaat?!
[HE RACES AFTER]
Bakaomi, that was my first kiss!! What the hell?!
no subject
taka just goes faster ]
Fuck off!!
no subject
[this game is so bad for them and their understanding of each other]
no subject
[ HE'S JUST RUNNING NOW ]
no subject
Get back here and tell me what that was about!!
no subject
unfortunately he is running to a dead end and he just doesn't know it yet ]
You can't be this stupid!
no subject
[?????]
Did Dizzy send you on a task too?! Is this her idea of disorder?!
no subject
[ oh
that's bad timing to hit the dead end. ]
no subject
[oh that's a terrible time to run into a dead end because senri's so surprised that he totally trips and probably falls right into taka
like a disaster]
no subject
but yeah they're crashing to the ground ]
...

no subject
taka isn't really moving from the position he landed though, other than to turn his head slightly so he can stare somewhere out into the distance. ]
How am I supposed to know?! You were just... [ ... ] this is stupid...
no subject
.... how do I know this isn't a curse...? How do you know?
When I was cursed, those thoughts felt entirely like my own and I -
[he pouts and there's finally the feeling of warmth in the flush that starts to crawl up his neck]
What am I going to do if you just change your mind next week....
no subject
[ he regrets saying anything. he shouldn't have said anything. absolutely nothing good could come from opening his mouth, and it must be the stress from this place that made him do something so idiotic. ]

It's.... I wouldn't hate it, if it wasn't a curse.
no subject
he's quiet, trying to figure out what this means.
... ]
Look at me.
no subject
senri takes another second but will eventually quietly peer up to look at taka...
but - ]
Not that I think you're going to, but you can't kiss me anymore - I might be contagious.
no subject
[ he says after he just kissed him like five minutes ago ]
no subject
he looks unhappy]
.... you don't have to be so mean about it...
no subject
[ he glances away for a second before looking back at him. ]
Would you hate it if I did it again?
no subject
[ . . . . ]
Next week is okay though.
no subject
he wonders if senri might still somehow think this is about something else. ]
Are you sure...?
no subject
[and senri's expression settles into something soft and fond.]
.... don't get mad - but I have one more date tomorrow. I think there's... something I need to wrap up with Beauty. And that's me trying to be honest with you instead of hiding it. Even though it's really tempting to not tell you at all....
[ . . . ]
But I -
.... will you believe me now, when I say that I can't play this game without you?
no subject
he definitely makes a sour face, because it's not like he can help being jealous.
but the expression smooths over, and he slowly reaches over to take senri's hand and give it a hesitant squeeze. ]
... as long as it's the last one.
no subject
The last one with someone else, anyway.
You'll have to take me on a lot of dates to make up for it.
[and he laughs]
I hope you know what you're signing up for. Though I guess.... you'd know better than anyone else.
[because taka always knows him better than anyone else]
