[His eye shifts up with practice as Senri's hand moves in. The motion is something he should know by heart more than anything, and he does, but he doesn't... expect it from Senri, of all people.

It isn't bad, just strangely misplaced.

He looks shocked, and his chest clenches. The warmth that spreads through him isn't anger, or embarrassment, or even love. It's deeper. Familial. It's painful and aching and incredibly lonely. It's the taste of family before it's ripped away and crushed. His lip trembles, his brow furrows, but he swallows and he's fine.

He looks down.]

[this dumb sad gay.

it's a little ironic, how little senri understands about the feeling that he gets from sasuke. familial? the first time that he ever got a taste of something like that was just barely a week ago, in a little ferris wheel car, with a god and the person right in front of him. but even then this feeling is a little different, a little more twisted and sad.

his hand falls away from sasuke's forehead, instead rests on his shoulder to give it a squeeze and then he pulls back, expression soft and a little confused but - still fond.]

Idiot.

[an idiot that he cares about a lot unfortunately!!]

[moralmyopia]

[Yeah, okay. That's fair. Sasuke accepts this without looking up or complaint. He is an idiot, it's true.

He doesn't offer any clarification for the feelings or the expression. It's better to not open those can of worms, not when they have other things on their plate right now. His issues with his brother... can wait, or not come to light at all for the rest of the game.

With a quiet exhale, he goes back to shifting the rice around in the bowl, not exactly as hungry as he probably should be.

Very quietly, he says again:] I'm sorry.

[usogi]

[ . . . senri tilts his head quietly. sasuke can probably feel the notes of confusion.]

Over what?

[the food is great? sasuke's been really understanding about how much information senri has? there's not really anything that he thinks is worth apologizing over,]

[moralmyopia]

[Surprisingly (or not surprisingly), Sasuke doesn't answer. He continues to not look at Senri because there's nothing worse than having to explain a vulnerable moment when you're a flaming pile of garbage.]

[usogi]

.... don't apologize to me if you're not going to tell me what it's for....?

[the red string of fate thing makes it easier for him to uncode sasuke's emotions but it doesn't make him a mind reader??]

That's so half-hearted.

[moralmyopia]

[Quietly:] Shut up. [It still takes him several minutes to get up the nerve to be honest.]

Your eye.

[usogi]

[ . . . .

senri blinks.]

Oh.

I forgave you - like, yesterday.

[????]

It's not really your fault in the first place - it was my mistake being out there - but you'll probably keep arguing with me so... If you really wanna apologize, then I forgive you.
