two
But why us.
[LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE IN THE WHOLE GROUP OF THEM WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.
The accusation, however, is of course on point. His shoulder dips, the look on his face indignantly caught, and he turns to start leaving.]
Be here in an hour and a half. Decide where you want to go.

[It does get him to stop a moment and glance back. He... isn't glaring? Frowning, though.]
It doesn't concern you. Stop sticking your nose into everything before you get killed.
[He can't even pretend to be a hardass, damn!! The worry and guilt just trades from him to Senri as he tries to take his hand back again.]

[HE POUTS and still doesn't let go. sasuke's going to have to continue to shove him around to get him to stop]
If it concerns you, it concerns me. Seanbon's gonna cry if you do something stupid and I can't cover for you.
[it's okay, the worry is twice over because now senri is deeply concerned about whatever sasuke might've been planning?]
When will you start relying on me more...?
[and the pang of loneliness]

[Oh no, he hates that. He hates this. He has enough loneliness already?? That's been his entire life so far.] Stop that. [He's not going to quit trying to untangle his hand. Don't hold on, it's worse!]
Stop making that face. It doesn't matter. I have this curse to worry about.
[And, like, someone else bullied him with mentorship and Logic, but let's not TALK ABOUT IT. He's mad about that, too. There's a lot--
Well, Senri gets to see how angry and hopeless Sasuke truly feels on the inside.]

[this is the worst combination of things. senri's going to shake his head and still not let go??? good luck, sasuke.
especially considering the worry just intensifies - very specific worry, about sasuke's well-being, about being left out of something, about not being able to be convincing enough to reach someone that he cares about.]
It does matter. I've already told you that I care about you, so stop trying to do things on your own that'll scare me.

Let go. [It's not harsh so much as firm. He actually doesn't try to snatch his hand back, like he's tired of trying to rebel against this orange shithead.] There's no point in caring about me.
I said I wasn't here to make friends for a reason, idiot. At the end, I'm going back to finish what I need to do. You're going back with Takaomi. Nothing here matters except winning for a god.
I'm going what I need to do to make sure that happens.
[There's something there he isn't telling. The lack of resentment, the lack of hate. It doesn't match the words he's saying.]

[ . . . . and senri winces again, and there's the little twist of pain in his chest. as if recognizing that there is an end coming, and there's nothing he can do to stop it.]
... we said that we'd talk about it this week, didn't we? Wishes, and what we're going to do when we're back home.
You're not cursed anymore... Don't tell me you forgot.

[The usual frown appears, deep.] Shut up. [He's not cursed. He can tell all the lies he wants!
Except not with Senri because Senri can just feel he's not telling the whole truth, plus everything else.]
You're wasting time. The longer you make me stay, the more time until I do what I need to do and get back here to meet you. [A pause.]
Trust me.

Trust me.
.... I do. [and that's the truth. it's a soft, but sincere admission. ] I just want you to trust me too.
.... it's a working practice date, so we'll talk about everything we said we would in an hour and a half.
Okay? I'll let go if you promise, but I won't stop bothering you if you don't talk to me when we meet again.

[His sigh is exasperated, as usual.]
Fine. I promise.
[He tries to take his hand back now!!]
Fine. I promise.
[He tries to take his hand back now!!]
[Hm. Whatever Sasuke is doing when he leaves for the hour and a half can't exactly be anything dangerous or bad??
Senri gets a resounding handful of irritation and embarrassment, mostly embarrassment. And then near the end, a tad bit of uncertain pride.
What is Uchiha up to really.]

[he doesn't like this. he feels the emotions come in and continues to feel a fairly intense????
meanwhile on sasuke's end he - doesn't seem to be getting much? hm. there's a lot of thoughtfulness, a quiet contemplation. there's a steady thrum of muted anxiety,
..... apparently senri chills out only when he's left alone?
but he'll still be in the study when sasuke returns, tap tap tapping on his phone.]

[Great. Senri has the goddamn phone out.
Sasuke shows back up to the study and--honestly, he can almost be confused for someone else. There's no way in hell he was going to get wrestled into something completely out of his aesthetic, but... Sincerity tried.
And yeah, Sincerity is pretty good with the whole fashion thing.]
Have you decided yet?

[ . . . . .
hm.
senri angles his phone up to sasuke to snap a picture, and even though his face is so perfectly kept neutral, there sure is a spark of not so innocent interest! senri has eyes and it's very bad. though it passes fairly quickly - ]
How does the beach sound?
[and he'll stand, smoothing out his skirt as he goes before waltzing right up to sasuke and reaching for his hand with a smile]

[One of many embarrassing pictures of Sasuke on Senri's phone. How is it not dead yet. Please let it die.
Upon closer inspection, once Senri is near him, it's evident he... has on some makeup. It's not a lot, but there's some foundation, and the cat-cut of his almond eyes are emphasized by--that's definitely eyeliner.
A telling pin sits on the lapel of the jacket: a golden sun.]
You still look stupid in a dress. [He eyes the offered hand before taking it in one of his own. No matter what he says, he has no way of hiding nervousness gnawing at him.] Come on.

[oh my god
senri's expression just continues to warm - and despite their conversation earlier, he's temporarily overwhelmed by fondness?? holy fuck.]
You really went to Cheri and let him dress you up? Thanks....
[IT HELPS SENRI GET HIS FAVOR BUT ALSO LIKE - ]
But why? You look great but - what?
[??? SASUKE ????]

[Maybe Senri's prattle will be better if he just--goes. And leads them off toward the wing with the beach.]
I had a small favor to turn in. Now stop asking questions.
[They walk for a little ways, him pulling Senri along, before he rummages around on the front of the jacket. Off to the opposite side, over his shoulder, appears a white amaryllis, offered back. Sasuke, however, isn't looking anywhere but straight ahead.
Sincerity must have given him some pointers since he's definitely feeling a lot of embarrassment.]

[ . . . . . . oh my god.
senri blinks for a few times before reaching out to take the flower? he hates the way that his heart does a pleased little flip at the gesture, and he occupies time with just smelling it.]
... wow, Sasuke's really showing me today.
[wITH THIS DUMB LITTLE PRACTICE DATE]
You can stand to be a little friendlier still though - a girl might forgive you for your brusqueness because of your charming good looks, but first impressions are still important, you know?

[He scoffs softly under his breath, and again he doesn't turn to look back over his shoulder at Senri behind him. Maybe there's a small apology swimming around at the center of him, one he doesn't bother saying.
Spilling out into the camp isn't hard, and Sasuke proceeds with silence even if Senri continues to blab on about how appropriate it is to act on a date.
Down through the camp itself, the buildings, the arena (imagine that being used [sweats]), and out over toward the curved limitations of the ocean and it's beach. They have arrived, tada.]

[okay but - senri's expression lights up anyway? he loves the beach? it's a little different from the one that fortune had in her wing, and he's already placing a manicured hand on sasuke's shoulder and leaning on him as he tries to toe off his shoes?]
It's pretty! We should take Seanbon here too!
[everything becomes a family outing]

[Just because Sasuke stays away doesn't mean he's away. Somewhere deep in Senri's middle, a sea of shame, and anger, and guilt boils. He's scarce. He's so scarce for the rest of Wednesday and most of Thursday.
Any glimpse of him, and he's gone just after somehow, like he had vanished.
But then later in the early evening, the pocket of gloom is closer. Wherever Senri comes out of, Sasuke is a yard or two off, standing mostly in the shadows with his hands in his pockets. He has a patch of gauze and tape over the left eye, probably a gift from Ray.]

[it's a learning curve for Senri. Thursday is a day that's filled with frustration for the tiny little ways that his life is different, guilt over getting into this situation with nothing to show for it, and the swirling pit of worry they only grows stronger the longer he can't find sasuke.
but he's an actor. so the senri in public is still gentle smiles, sheepish glances, and muted sadness.
up until he catches sight of sasuke himself and nearly stumbles with how quickly he turns to him.]
Sasuke.....! There you are -
[because of course senri was looking for him with the good eye he had left??]
