usogi | [ i already regret sasuke and senri ]

[it's cold to senri, binch.

that said it's a kind of novel thing to senri? there's some part of him that's still nervous - common sense really means that this is a bad idea, even though he's been forced into skydiving before - but he gets distracted pretty easily when the fireworks go off. the loud booms resound in his chest, rattling his ribcage, and he automatically moves to scoot next to sasuke - ]

Don't move, I'm cold and it's still your fault.

[that's like 80% true?

but also he's going to lean against sasuke again as he settles next to him, making himself perfectly comfortable in sasuke's side because senri has never known a shame in his life.]

... this was a good idea.

[Sasuke's sigh is low and exasperated, but he doesn't move, and he doesn't push Senri off when the lean comes. He'll suffer it for a while so long as Senri doesn't bitch about him being the worst date of all time.

He has pride, alright? Even if it's for something stupid. Besides, all of this is for one thing: those damn favors.]

Mm.

[The rumble is drowned out by the cannon fire at the field and the resounding crackle in the sky above them after. Unfortunately, running to the ferris wheel, getting in, getting up, and then climbing on the roof gives them all of the finale.

A harrowing, rocketing cluster of six back-to-back, followed by four more, so most of them explode together before the rest fade. It leaves the air hot and tangy with ignition, and Sasuke is almost very slightly disappointed. Nothing comes for a minute or two after, so it must be over.

Carefully, he shoves Senri up off him; however, instead of jumping up to get down, he... peels off the denim jacket and drops it over Senri's head.]

[Senri goes with the shove because he supposes he's not too surprised by Sasuke reclaiming his personal space as soon as possible - though when the jacket gets dropped on his head, he laughs in surprise?]

Hey - if you're going to do something sweet, why can't you just go the full way and put it on my shoulders?

[but he supposes he doesn't hate it, and i wish that he did!! instead he's going to slip his arms through the sleeves of sasuke's jacket easily, pulling it close to him even as he shivers against another chill that shoots down his spine.

he looks around, checking how far they are from the ground - and automatically steps closer to sasuke by default just because he's nervous]

Can we just get down from here? Oh, we have to grab Yuki....

I'm only doing it because you keep complaining you're cold.

[He follows Senri's gaze out over the ground below through the rungs of the ferris wheel. Nothing bothers him. Well, it does slightly because he can't use his chakra, but the height doesn't make him nervous.

In fact, the ring is dingy red turning into orange.]

Give me your hands. I'm going to swing you down and in the door.

[He holds out both hands for Senri to take. You trust him, right, Senri?]

I'm only going to get colder, so you should make me tea everyday.

[ . . . . . . senri sighs. he sighs a lot. even as he places his hands in sasuke's.]

We could've just gone on the roller coaster if you wanted to try something wild with my life.

[he's like.

accepting his fate though]

I was hoping I'd drop you.

[Just kidding. Or is he...?

Raising Senri's hands a bit, he steps right on up to Senri's front, boxing Senri in to the edge over the door.] Jump down, and I'll swing you inside. Don't let go. [It's a bit nerve-wracking, but Sasuke has his legs parted for balance, and his grip on Senri's hands are firm.

He waits for Senri to drop when ready, and when Senri finally does, he'll bend, catch, and swing Senri forward inside of the bucket while letting go.]

Bad joke!

[senri stop whining - and even if he says it's a bad joke, apparently his trust in sasuke is so unfortunately strong that he's actually not that concerned. he felt more nervous when he was just on the roof on his own, but he's not worried given that sasuke's hands are in his.

he really doesn't think anything bad will happen to him, so long as sasuke's around.

so he takes in a breath and honestly just pretends like it's when he has to fall into a trap door on the stage. there's little hesitation before he actually drops, holding onto sasuke's hands, and then lands neatly on his feet inside the bucket.]

—Yuki, we're back in one piece!

[gonna collect their new stuffed animal daughter now]

["We're," Senri says.

The door closes behind Senri and Yuki just as the ferris wheel decides to again begin its movement, and Sasuke isn't inside. He's holding onto the bucket, propped with his hands and feet, and he peers into the window at Senri for a moment or two--

--and then he just leans himself back and drops out over the support beam and down toward the ground.

??]

[??????

BAD.

Senri's panicking because of course he is?! SASUKE, DON'T DO THAT. He's gonna forget the bunny for a second to instead open the door again, gripping onto the doorway for the bucket for dear life now that his emotional support ninja has disappeared - ]

Sasuke?!

[HE'S SO WORRIED, HIS HEART'S IN HIS THROAT, HE'S GONNA DIE]

[A little, thin wire with a hook has been notched into the beam several feet from the bucket door, glinting and taunt.

Down, falling fast, is Sasuke's form, aerodynamic and unafraid, almost peaceful up until the focus of swinging around and lifting an arm. The wire pings, jerks, and the hook slides off as Sasuke's feet catch the long support beam yards down; he keeps running with his arms back as the wire ravels in, whistling to catch up to the band around his arm.

At the end, he jumps off again, flips, lands on another beam below, letting his shoes slide along the increasing diagonal of the wheel spinning clockwise. Everything is practiced. There's not much denying Sasuke truly being a ninja aside from being something equally as impressive.

He does this the entire way to the bottom where he lands solidly on his feet. Senri is only just over the crest of descending. When Sasuke stands and glances up and back, he smirks.]

[oh my god he's really hated never anyone more, for real this time.

senri ends up sinking to the floor of the bucket, still gripping onto the doorway with one hand, but he lets his feet hang out as he watches sasuke do this stupid ninja bullshit. he's losing his fucking mind but also can't deny that it's really fucking cool? he's so angry. he's like impressed and furious all at once. once sasuke's on the ground and they meet eyes, he claps along with his laughter.

apparently he does not care for anyone else's peace of mind as the bucket descends and when he thinks that sasuke can actually hear him, he shouts - ]

You're the worst! At least warn me next time!!

[Sliding his hands into the pockets of the jeans, Sasuke waits for the ferris wheel to bring Senri down again. His scoff can probably be heard, but if not, the look on his face is enough for Senri to know.]

Scaredy-cat.

[It was good to stretch in a way he hadn't in a week or two. The thrill reminded him he's real, this is real, and he hadn't lost anything about himself even if his abilities had been stolen.

It left him with wild, unkempt hair and his shirt ruffled up around his waist, but it's fine. It was all worth it.]

[dumb ninja punk that senri is inexplicably fond of.

he shakes his head in response and gets up just to grab Yuki from where she'd been waiting in the bucket this whole time. then he'll hop out once it's a reasonable distance from the ground and jog over to meet Sasuke where he is. it's automatic how one hand reaches out to adjust Sasuke's shirt so it falls better, then coming up to try to guide his hair back into place even as Senri laughs.]

I should've jumped and made you catch me like you said you would.

[but also sasuke might have just dropped him out of spite after that]

[He glances down when Senri fixes his shirt like he didn't know it was even messed up, but that only gives more of his head for Senri to immediately start fixing after. A bit of fussing, and he turns his head away like a kid getting its mouth wiped, reaching up with his own hand to fix it, too, like Senri had made it too perfect or something.]

Tch. You're too scared.

[He reaches out and grabs Senri's nose between his thumb and index finger, squeezing a little bit roughly, holding it.] I'm done with your stupid date, and I'm going back to the temple. [Maybe. He lets go and does turn around to start walking.]

[sdlkfjljk

he makes a face at the nose pinch - but also like. automatically follows after sasuke anyway, linking up arms again??]

Walk me back to the house I'm staying at with Shishimaru, please.

[he says please but also it's senri so he just naturally expects it to happen at this point?? please stop him.]

Do you want to try again tomorrow? I'd jump as long as you're the one waiting at the bottom.

[please just

stop being so fucking gay]

[Poor Takaomi. Someone please kill Senri and remove him from this place for betraying such a sweet boy.]

Quit saying embarrassing things, idiot. You said you weren't going to get into trouble.

[Sasuke does actually feel bad for Takaomi! But not because he thinks this or anything between Senri and Takaomi is serious. Just... some things Takaomi said jostled him into seeing how he really acted with Naruto.

But fine. He'll lead them back through the carnival at an unhurried pace.] I've had enough of you for one day. I'm not staying. [Senri needs to spend time with Takaomi!!

This tag is all about Takaomi and not these two disasters because Takaomi deserves it.]

[Someone really needs to save Taka?]

Then don't call me a scaredy-cat - even I'll get annoyed enough to want to prove you wrong eventually?

[please no,

That said Senri isn't thinking about Taka, not extensively anyway. That's why Senri ought to die.]

But mmm, okay. Where are you sleeping? Whenever you get there, tell Kara-chan I said hi.

I'm not telling you so you'll leave me the hell alone.

[He may or may not tell Kara-chan that Senri said high. But no one will know. He isn't telling Senri where he's staying for sure, though, or he knows Senri will be trying to visit or something else stupid.]

Careful or you'll make me think you don't like me.

[god senri shut up,

that said they're leaving the carnival behind at this point and senri will just glance over his shoulder back at it, laughing faintly as he does.]

... today was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Thanks for agreeing to go with me.

[but he knows sasuke only did it for one reason so - ]

Let me know when you have a favor you want me to cash in for you. Beauty owes me too, and I need to see if the one for Bambi worked, if you want one from her.

[For a moment or two, Sasuke watches Senri look back out of the corner of his eye, but he doesn't say anything, not even a rebuttal for the first statement.]

Fine. [He's going to have to think of a good favor to con them out of.] Stop giving them nicknames like they're your friends. I can't keep track of all of them. Just call them by their normal names.

Bambi - Ambition - offered to curse you for me, when she noticed that my fingers were trembling. I think we're friends.

[do you ever think about what senri could do if he was just a little bit more mean-spirited]

Don't worry, I told her that it wasn't necessary.

[Sasuke gives Senri a look, though it's a little unreadable. It isn't angry exactly... maybe irritated at best.]

I doubt it was because you're friends. It was because she tried to stop me in the room, but I got away by throwing her off.

She would just as sooner stab you in the back if you weren't giving her what she wants.

... I know that part of the reason why this works for us is because I'm fine being the trusting one while you aren't -

But have you considered that maybe it'll help to have a little bit more faith in people?

[which is very funny coming from senri who is

a liar]

Have you considered maybe it would help to be a little more suspicious of everyone else and the gods?

[Two can play at that game, Senri Nito.]

Nope.

Because I'm more valuable to gods if I come off as gullible and soft-hearted. I told Dizzy this - there's going to be plenty of people who doubt her on my behalf, just because I'm getting closer to her. So it's up to her to prove you all wrong, because I've decided to trust her.

And other participants trust me with their alignments if they think I'm harmless anyway.

[he shrugs]

That's why I have you and Ogou-san, to doubt people for me so I don't actually end up hurt, while I bring back information for us all.
