[ . . . . oh.

there's no hiding the surprise in senri's expression. he knows why ray is mentioning this to him - because it was hard for him to control his act in that moment. because he knew that once upon a time, he and majima had a good relationship. and to have that relationship crumble suddenly, and then to be told that the way that he acted was wrong.... it hurt him in such a deep way that he couldn't recover fast enough.

but.

having ray encourage him isn't bad. there's a tight feeling in his chest that doesn't quite manage to go away, and he just settles for a surprised nod as his hands grip a little tighter on the mug.]

... I'm learning that here.

It's slow but... I am.

[ . . . ]

Thanks, Ray-kun.

[selfimmolates]

... Take your time. It's not something that you accept overnight so easily.

[...]

Anyway, that's all.

[BYE HE'S WALKING AWAY NOW]

[usogi]

[oh my god - ]

Wait, you can't just walk away, you tsundere...!!

[selfimmolates]

There's nothing else I have to say, idiot!

[usogi]

Then let me say -

You're not resting one of your injuries, right...? It looked like it hurt when you were trying to keep me from arguing with Majima earlier.

[selfimmolates]

[awkward pause.]

[usogi]

Do you want some apple gels...? I'm almost out but they do help make it feel better a little - you can probably ask Jude-kun for more.

[pouts]

It's not even like I can tell you to stop because... obviously a lot of people have needed your help but... you should try to take care of yourself too.

[selfimmolates]

I'm fine.

[usogi]

I know I trust your word on a lot of things but I don't think is gonna be one of them.

[selfimmolates]

When have I ever been wrong about that?

[usogi]

Normally never, that's why you're the low-maintenance emo.

But you're also pretty good at tricking me into just accepting what you say, so that probably means I miss it when you're hurting unless I press super hard and persistently.

[selfimmolates]

You're over-thinking it.

[usogi]

No, I'm not. Have you let Jude-kun look at your injury?

[selfimmolates]

He doesn't need to. I can handle it.

[usogi]

What's wrong with getting a second opinion?

[selfimmolates]

It's nothing. You're worrying too much over this.

[usogi]

I don't think I am.... I know you won't let it get infected or anything, but it'll still hurt until you get to rest enough to heal, right?

[selfimmolates]

And like I said, it's nothing. We don't all cry at the drop of a hat unlike some people.

[usogi]

No, but I'm still worried about you.

At least with trial over as long as Sasuke and I don't run to Majima, there shouldn't be any new emergencies...

[selfimmolates]

See? It'll be fine.

[usogi]

Then promise me that Sunday is for resting!

[selfimmolates]

Okay.

[ray has no issue with breaking promises.]

[usogi]

... you agreed too easily. You're so mean.

[selfimmolates]

Wow, picky.

[usogi]

Well, I guess I prefer this to you telling me a more convincing lie.
