usogi | [ i already regret sasuke and senri ]

[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.

Edited 2019-03-07 01:01 (UTC)

Idiot... You’re going to end up dead.

[Sasuke hates this fucking logic so much. Like... biggest pet peeve honestly. It reminds him terribly of Naruto, of how no one ever gave Naruto any credit, including himself, while Naruto did nothing but become stronger. He hates! this logic! Because it’s true.

So all he can do is look sour the entire way out of the carnival and back.

Senri can just, like, rest easy in knowing he’s right while Sasuke vehemently denies it being right.]

I want you to show me something.

[Senri seems to think about saying something - but thinks better of it, instead turning to Sasuke with a curious look and a smile.]

Hm?

What could you want to see from me?

[he's pretty realistic in the sense that there are very few things that he can do better than Sasuke aside from just default being friendly and kissing a lot of ass]

[Stop smiling at him.]

Your god coin. I want to see it.

[ooohhh god talk.

senri blinks.]

... tell me why.

I want to see what it looks like.

[their date is over god talk isnt banned anymore.]

[sasuke is such a master of romance]

Fine, show me yours too though.

[and senri will pull his coin out of his pocket, slightly tarnished]

Did you think I lied to you about swapping?

[Sasuke looks... surprisingly shook. He reaches out and clamps a hand around Senri’s wrist, squeezing gently.]

Don’t defect again. Don’t defect unless it’s absolutely necessary. Understand?

[every time sasuke tells senri not to something he wants to do it more

but also that expression makes him worried?]

Hey - I'm okay.

[he puts his own hand over sasuke's? it's still cold.]

Justice said it's just so that people can tell how many times you've defected - I was surprised too but...

What's that face for?

[His brows don’t unpinch. His hand squeezes like a warning but then retreats.]

I don’t trust it. Not even if Justice explains it. So don’t do it unless it’s necessary.

[ . . . . why is he smiling,]

I kind of like it when you worry about me. It's cute.

[stop]

[but he shakes his head and pulls his hand back]

I'll ask Piety and Cheri too, just in case but... I have to go back to Cheri eventually, Sasuke. Or whichever god is going to win this. I have something I want too.

Let me see your coin. Fair's fair.

Shut up.

[Leave it to Senri to just boldly ask. Sasuke instead, would rather smother in his own worry for however long, not bothering to ask, too scared of lies. He frowns at the defeat, at the tease. He’s going to toss Senri off the ferris wheel next time.

After a few hesitating moments of their walk, he reluctantly pulls out his coin. It’s tarnished way more than Senri’s.]
