No. Naruto and I have always had something to settle. She'll just get killed jumping in the way of us like always.

[Hm. Apparently, Naruto and Sasuke fight too roughly.]

[usogi]

... why are ninjas like this....

[moralmyopia]

I don't know why you're so worried about it. You don't even know her. If Naruto likes her so badly, he can take care of her.

[throws senri some gossip casually]

[usogi]

Oh my god, a love triangle.

[DISH.]

[moralmyopia]

[This makes Sasuke actually look back over his shoulder, face screwed gently up.]

What? There's no triangle.

[usogi]

[senri will helpfully draw the three points of the triangle with his finger - ]

Naruto-kun to Sakura-san to you.

[they still get honorifics even though senri has never fucking met them]

I don't know if the last line goes to you to Naruto-kun though - you seem really sure that you're straight.

[moralmyopia]

[He's still absolutely making a face.] Mind your own business. It isn't anything like that. ["TCH."]

I was never interested in either of them.

[usogi]

Why not? I bet Sakura-san is pretty.

[SENRI KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HER]

It'd be a shame if you were single forever. It's okay to want someone else in your life, you know?

[moralmyopia]

[He just gives Senri a look around his shoulder as they broach the game room. He finds he can’t agree or disagree whether or not Sakura is pretty because, as usual, he has always been to focused on training and fighting and being an anti-brocon to have paid any attention.]

I don’t care about stuff like that. [His voice sounds admittedly softer.] I have more important things to worry about. Someone like me... I’m not coming back from what I have to do.

They have each other. I don’t know why they can’t be satisfied with that.

[usogi]

Stop saying 'someone like me'.... You deserve happiness as much as everyone else, and you're going to live through your stupid fight and help Naruto-kun reform your village and all the other villages.

[THIS IS SENRI'S EXPECTATION,,]

... besides, it's not that easy. Sometimes you can be - really happy with what you have, but always know that it could be better. Like something's missing.

[senri will just sigh as he enters the game room, beelining for the video game consoles and selection]

Sort of like how I still want you to come back with me.

[moralmyopia]

[This again... Geez.

Sasuke follows Senri toward the consoles and games. This suddenly seems so very dumb; he's really out of his element here. As usual.]

You know I don't belong there. Your world isn't anything like my world. There's no reason for me to be there. It isn't as if I'd be at your school anyway.

[usogi]

Why not? We don't have a ninja yet... sort of. Kumarin-senpai might even like finally having someone who could keep up with him physically. [what the fuck is kumarin anyway] You'd be... what, a second year? Third year?

[senri will let his finger run over the spines of the cases before he starts to pick out some games that he thinks would require a bit more thinking - professor layton, splatoon....]

You wanted a world of peace, right? Mine's peaceful.

[moralmyopia]

[just old enough to give senri the sad graduation episode for third year]

I... [He can't argue with the last bit? Sort of. He had said he wanted a peaceful world, but...] If your world is already peaceful, you don't need me. I'm not... going to simply give up.

I want the ninja world to be peaceful. I want... my world to be peaceful. And... I know... that blockhead can't do it alone. He couldn't ever do anything alone. How is he going to lead a village when... he couldn't even answer any of the questions on the chunin exam?

[usogi]

You could -

[use your wish to help make it more peaceful.

. . . but he cuts himself off and pauses. there's no way that he can tell someone else how to use their wish. he presses his mouth into a thin line again and shakes his head. it's good that they're not attached this week! senri doesn't bother to school his expression into something less disheartened - he's only facing the video games anyway]

.... yeah, I guess I figured you'd say that. [disappointed, but not surprised] It's not a matter of needing you though - it's just wanting you around. Hoping that you get to experience a world that's a little kinder to you.

[moralmyopia]

[???

His brows furrow, but he doesn't pursue the dropped sentence. He's too afraid of what Senri might say? Probably.

At the consoles, he waits for Senri to make a selection. He watches carefully, though he's not sure what most of it means outside of what's on the cover.] That isn't... a life I'm meant to have. [LOOK, he may be getting a little better at the whole FRIEND thing, but he's,,,,,,,

STILL EMO]

[usogi]

[he's still super emo.

senri pauses at that even as he walks over to the consoles, picking up a handheld one. and then with all these games tucked in one arm, he'll reach up to placing his fingers underneath sasuke's chin and guide his head to face him]

... I need a favor, please.

[moralmyopia]

[The head lifts, but he still!! frowns softly!!] What is it? You know this week it isn't free. [He's not getting cursed again, dammit.

And maybe, like, he also doesn't want Senri to get cursed either.]

[usogi]

That's okay - just be nice in whatever you want from me. I'm not trying to be mean.

[HE, FOR SOME REASON, TOTALLY BELIEVES THAT SASUKE WON'T BE HORRIBLE TO HIM,

but anyway.]

The favor is....! Open your heart juuuust a little bit, to the idea that you're a good person who's trying to help people, and deserves to be cared for in return. Even if you make mistakes, but everyone's allowed to do that, because we're human.

Just give it a shot - for me.

[moralmyopia]

[Very softly, he scoffs under his breath. Of course it would be something as stupid and sentimental as that. He wants to argue that the mistakes he's made are something he'll probably be persecuted for later if he even manages to survive his fight with Naruto.

But... He tables that for... never.] Fine. [No promises.] My turn. You owe me a favor. [He searches Senri's face and eye with his own.]

...Teach me how to play one of the games.

[usogi]

[ . . . . stupid. senri's expression somehow manages to soften at that before he shakes his head in disbelief.]

Wooow, that's quite the task you've put in front of me... [but he'll just grin and lightly bump into sasuke on his way to head back out the door] But okay, I guess I'll give it a shot.

There's no TV in the room, so I just got a handheld system - we'll have to come back here eventually so I can show you others.

[moralmyopia]

[Oof. Butthole.

Not wanting whining, he turns and follows Senri back out of the game room and to the other wing and the inn. HMMM. He now has a reason to even say anything about this topic which he didn't get before.]

What about the one you came with?

[usogi]

Bakaomi broke it!!

[HE'S

HEARTBROKEN]

I gave it to Justice to fix - he said it'd be ready by the time that I got to go back to his team but uh... that hasn't happened yet, so.

[moralmyopia]

[Yeah well, maybe Takaomi shouldn't have been an idiot and let Sasuke take the Switch to Ray to have it fixed. It's fine.]

He's probably busy. Don't bother him. Maybe you should punch Takaomi twice.

[usogi]

I already asked....

[TOO LATE]

Oh - how much do you talk to Piety, by the way?

[moralmyopia]

[..........................]

I've never talked to Piety. Not even when they came to trial.
