usogi | [ i already regret sasuke and senri ]

[senri is bundled the fuck up!! even inside apparently. who knows when his ass is going back to the snow. also he's taken to wearing a scarf since monday but it's not because he's covering up hickeys but rather because sasuke nearly strangled him and senri is paranoid that there might be a mark as obvious as the one on his wrist

anyway

he's making a coffee parfait.

and like they did not argue like pieces of shit the last time they met, he glances over when sasuke enters the kitchen and beckons him over]

Hey. Taste something for me.

[For a long minute, Sasuke stands there like he's relatively sure he is going to turn around and walk back out. They always end up bickering, and the last thing he wants is to waste his......

Curious, he carefully picks his way over to try to see what the fuck Senri is up to, and what the fuck Senri has that needs to be tasted.]

If you're trying to poison me, it won't work. I'm immune to poisons.

[deadpan:]

Cool story, ninja-san.

[and senri will lift up the spoon with a bite of the coffee parfait for sasuke because he doesn't understand the concept of personal space or boundaries]

[Damn. Whatever, turd. He is immune to poison, but you can thank Orochimaru and suffering drug tests for that.]

What is it?

[Absolutely not. He reaches out to try to take the spoon from Senri because he'll be damned if he can't at least FEED himself.]

[senri lets the spoon go easily enough]

Coffee parfait. I had to change the recipe a little from what I found though... [and he gestures to the recipe book that's also on the counter] Ambition liked it, but wanted it sweeter - but coffee itself isn't really that sweet?

[he pauses]

Ninjas aren't sensitive to caffeine, are they?

[is sasuke going to be fucking hyper as shit after this]

[um maybe

Sasuke already has the spoon in his mouth by the time Senri gets to, "Ambition liked it," and his face immediately crumples. He pulls the spoon out and--boy, that's a really ugly face.

He hands the spoon right back.] It's terrible. [RIP Senri Nito's Cooking With Murder.] It's too sweet. [Guess who hates sweets!!!]

Oh neat, then I got it right this time.

[THAT'S ALL HE HAS TO RESPOND TO THAT REALLY UGLY FACE. he takes the spoon]

Thanks.

[this was not the point of the pc but it was still pretty important]

[WHAT HE WAS USED WHY

Honestly, he looks pretty irritated by the dupe. It's his own fault for trying it when he could have said no. The bitter aftertaste of coffee is nice, but... the lingering sweetness. He looks like he's sucked on a lemon, which isn't far from how he normally is most of the time.]

Idiot.

I'll make a snack in exchange for you if you want.

[since like. sasuke did help him out?? and senri will just take a bite of the parfait to taste it - he actually loves sweets though, so he doesn't think there'd have been much a point if he did it.]

Or I'll bribe you with it so you stop bugging Shishimaru like he's my keeper.

[okay there's the point of the pc]

[Sasuke's eyes narrow, and it isn't because of the sugary lingering of the parfait. He amazingly sounds dead serious when he says this, despite.]

I don't know what you're talking about.

If you expect me to believe that Shishimaru managed to actually lie to me, you're about to be disappointed. Not because we're any kind of close, but he's actually just terrible at it.

[they are pretty much polar opposites]

If you wanna boss me around, at least say it to my face and accept I won't listen without getting a middleman.

I've told you already. You don't listen. [Now he's just offended Takaomi tattled on him. That's it. He's not trusting anyone else with any fucking information ever.] Why does it matter?

He's your partner. He should be making you keep your nose out of people's business.

He's my partner, not my babysitter. Aren't you the one who makes a big deal about friends getting in your way and how they're not supposed to?

[smh!!!]

Why does it matter to you what I get up to anyway?

You're going to get the rest of us disqualified by being murdered.

[That is TOTALLY the reason. Absolutely. Senri is in the way even when being told not to be in thE WAY.]

[holy fuck

he can't even

keep a straight face]

..... is that so.

Okay, pitch me this explanation. [while sasuke does that,] Do you want rice balls again? I was thinking stir fry for dinner.

Because you keep talking to-- [A short pause; he says, "I guess," and then:] --everyone else without filter. You've lied once to me already.

If you keep trying to be friends with others, they're going to do something stupid on your behalf.

Worse, you'll do something stupid on theirs.

I didn't lie to you about anything important, don't make me repeat myself. I don't gain anything by doing that.

[let him get that straight first even as he goes around the kitchen to get cooking supplies

that said he'll also look over his shoulder and grin]

How's that 'worse', ninja-san? I thought you didn't care if I died, Sasuke-kun.

[his fucking switching between ways to address sasuke is absolutely just to make an incredibly annoying point]

[At first, Sasuke looks Shook(tm) about the formality being replaced, and then his eyes narrow in exasperation. If they could throw shurikens, they would be doing it for sure.]

I don't. I want to be spared from the whining and crying everyone else would do. And I don't want to be accused of a murder I didn't commit.

[senri is just grinning because of course he is]

I think you're overestimating how well-liked I am - not to give you a reason to actually think about killing me or anything. I'm not that worried that anyone would throw themselves on a sword for me - we're all here for our own reasons, after all.

[he's... weirdly aware that this is a competition at the end of the day, even though he wants to make friends? he looks through the meats selection]

Beef or chicken?

Shrimp.

[He blinks, pausing, seeming to realize that Senri is one hundred percent conning him into being normal. His face grows as our as usual.] Stop. I don't want anything. I'm not hungry. [THIS GUY IS SO FRUSTRATING.]

I'm not surprised you don't care. Shishimaru said you loved attention. Tch. [Finally, maybe he can get under Senri's skin instead.] That you... hated "being alone."

Shrimp?

[dude what the fuck. senri's pouting even as he looks for shrimp.... it's probably way in the back?? he has to dig for it but eventually manages to find some.....]

What were you saying -

[and then i'm so sorry that sasuke was trying to get under senri's skin because senri will just face him and]

Oh! Yeah.

I get lonely really easily.

[gOD, PLEASE HAVE SOME SHAME]

[God damMIT TO HELL. This is worse than Naruto, by far. Worse. Any insults or jabs he took at Naruto, the orange jumpsuit bastard would jump at to fight him back. Calling him scaredy cat so many times resulted in so much useless boistering.

But this.

Sasuke sighs loudly and heavily. His face is still bunched, and his brows are still together, but he won't look Senri in the face.]

I'm leaving.

[Get lonely really easy, huh.]

[sasuke picked the wrong insults honestly - and he's still not taka, who senri will dunk on for breathing

but ugh wtf. his expression falls pretty predictably]

Hey - that's not any fun.

[he aLREADY MADE THIS PARFAIT BY HIMSELF, SASUKE, HE'S DONE HIS TIME!!!!]

[Sasuke turns around almost like he's planning to just start walking away as he usually does, no goodbye, no nothing. Except he... just turns around and that's all. He doesn't leave, but he keeps his back in Senri's direction.

His arms cross, and he leans back against the edge of the counter.]

Have you spoken to Sincerity?

[what the fuck, sasuke should really stop giving senri what he wants.

because he's prickly when sasuke turns away - but also relaxes when he seems to be up for sticking around after all. whatever annoyed retort that was ready to fly seems to disappear and he goes back to getting ingredients for dinner.... he picks up tomatoes first, and then actually has to go check for a recipe of how he can put shrimp and tomato together,,]

Uh-huh. I've spoken to... half the gods now, I think?

And then I've been told about the other half.

Why?
