[Listen. He's a ninja. He's super skilled, even depowered? He was almost as much of a prodigy as his brother?
But the push is unexpected when he's so focused on arguing the hell out Senri, and he actually unfurls to try to catch himself. Just to... go over into the water.
Alas, he's skilled, remember, and he isn't going alone. A hand snaps back to grab Senri by the arm and the clothes, tight, thinking Senri may be sentinel enough to keep him from going into the water. They probably just both end up in there anyway.
He breaks the surface with a gasp and a hard glare. He looks like a wet cat, angry, hair momentarily flat.] What are you doing, dumbass?! [He wishes he had his ninjutsu... He'd suck Senri up in a vortex and smash him against the wall.
Instead, he slaps his palm against the water and splashes.]
anyway that's valid because senri deserves that for pushing the ninja into the pool? he's actually been pretty shitty so he deserves a lot of this. since there is no actual canon evidence that senri knows how to fucking swim he's probably thrown off pretty bad but suddenly getting pulled into the water which leaves sasuke yelling at
no one
because senri is still underwater and not close enough to the edge of the pool to flail a hand up to grab it
Sasuke pauses, glancing down through the water. Is this some kind of joke? This fucking moron is hanging out underwater, trying to, like, grab his leg or something? Trying to scare him?] Cut it the hell out!
I'm not playing your games. [Stage actor?
But Senri still doesn't come up? Concerning.] Nito! [For fuck's sake. He takes a big inhale and drops down below the surface. He'll be able to see if Senri is being a jack-- holy shit
SENRI IS DROWNING
Without thinking, he sweeps his arms and powers down. He isn't exactly nice when he grabs a fistful of Senri's hair to pull up, but the water thankfully makes it less painful. He grabs more of Senri after, the clothes, the shoulders and arms, and he turns to power back up and haul Senri halfway over the edge.]
it's a little funny that senri's thought was 'I wanted to see Shiks again, but not like this' and he wonders if it's karma.
He was flailing around a little uselessly as he was sinking down into the pool, and he thinks a lot about how if this is the way he goes out, and this is how Takaomi has to find his body, and if Sasuke managed to get in trouble for it even though Senri totally started it - ah, that's pretty unforgivable.
it's pretty fucking rude but he also totally didn't expect sasuke to actually help him out, though he absolutely clings on the second that he can
and when he gets thrown back over the edge, he's coughing grossly and trying to get his lungs to work but also - ]
[Thank God. Sasuke was one hundred percent not about to give Senri CPR if Senri had actually been dying. He's also not a medical ninja, that's Sakura's shtick!]
Why are you by the water if you can't swim, moron?!
[This is so stupid. Sasuke grabs Senri by the legs and shoves him further out of the pool and rolling off on the side, hopefully not over the rice balls, but even if so... whatever. Senri should be glad there was no death.]
You should have just left me alone. Are you trying to frame me?
[Palming the side of the pool, he hauls his own self straight up and out onto a leg and a knee. Sorry, I don't want to type that he has on a thin, grayish-purple shirt and it clings to his not even appropriately ripped ninja body because it's see-through, so let's just say he's WET and be done with it.]
[senri is luckily too close to death to be gay right now?]
Why would I - [ugh his throat hurts] Aahhh, I just nearly drowned, shut up with your stupid questions right now!!
[MORE GROSS COUGHING and just trying to get his hair out of his face??? he does not roll onto the rice balls out of SPITE but also reaches to grab one of the cherry tomatoes he brought over to weakly throw at sasuke because he's annoyed and hasn't learned his lesson
he tries to sit up and winces because senri is a weak bitch baby normie and shakes his head]
I was just making a point on how you can't do things alone, don't make me say it again....!!
[YOU END UP LIKE SENRI WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM]
this tag is just bc dana taunted me ALSO HE ONLY HAS ONE ARM I FORGOT
[The tomato is a hit along the collar he takes, even if he turns his head away. When he looks back, he glares before reaching up to push his hair out of his face. It flops immediately back into the same position, except slightly dryer, and the ends are already dripping away enough water to start springing back into duck formation.]
No one else should be involved. That isn't how this works. [With his fingers, he pushes himself up into a stand. The shirt hangs heavy and translucent against his skin, open from navel to neck where he had been letting his dead arm rest like a sling. He's not a twelve year old noodle anymore. His body has filled, being sleek for subterfuge, but stocky at the biceps, the ribs, and wide at the shoulders, the muscles defined from training. It's great for water to run in rivulets down over him.
Despite being utter garbage, he's not bad looking at all, and would be better wet if he didn't look like someone had eaten his last dorito.] Keep your nose out of my business.
[please get this hot topic trash away from senri who is but a simple chaotic bi who is definitely going to preoccupy himself with remembering how to breathe from near drowning in this moment]
You're being stubborn and stupid.
[he coughs again but apparently even near-death doesn't mean that he's any less ready to verbally thrown down with sasuke. physically is out of the question so apparently he needs to make up for it in other ways?]
People are complicated. I get it. You can't make everyone happy all the time, and those decisions are hard. Trusting people, especially here, is impossible.
But that doesn't mean you cut out everyone else entirely. If not me, just find someone else who won't get in your way, at least.
I don't want to see your wish for a peaceful world go out just because you're unpopular and a jerk.
I don't care about any of that. [Being unpopular and a jerk, he means. This, to him, is a necessity. A kind of evil he'll have to suffer. He doesn't seem to be relenting on that front.] If people won't see reason and logic, I'll make them understand.
[So far, he hasn't even asked Senri about being okay! AWFUL! He steps over by Senri's shoulders and head, dripping waves of water without caring, eyes cast down.] Get up. [And then he moves away without offering to help.]
The only person who wouldn't get in my way was found guilty of murder. And even then, he would have been in my way.
[senri's not getting up out of SPITE now or because he can't feel his legs but given the way that he glares over at sasuke, irritated, there's probably a decent amount of spite motivating them.]
Quit telling me what to do - you're not even convincing.
[ . . . . and senri huffs out a breath as he continues to not get up. he shrugs off his uniform jacket and wrinkles his nose at the soggy wetness of it.]
I - guessed that you probably didn't know, and I'm sorry that he did that to you. You didn't deserve it. But that doesn't mean the answer is to go off Lone Ranger all over again.
[Sasuke makes a face and turns it on Senri. It's true, he hadn't known. Itachi doesn't ever tell him shit. Itachi never told him shit which is why he ended up as such a disaster (partly).]
Lone Ranger? [Stop using words he doesn't know!] I don't get why you're being so persistent with this. Getting anyone else involved isn't necessary.
[senri groans because he's TIRED OF YOU DAMN EMOS]
In this game, or in life, you can't survive without other people! The gods have said it themselves, the best way to proceed in this game is through making yourself known to both the gods and the other players, because it's more likely you'll survive that way. You're not even going to make it to your stupid wish if you keep being suspicious and awful!
Being alone isn't that great, and it doesn't solve anything, I should know - so shut up already!
[okay no, his legs do work, so he's going to get up. he's a little unsteady, but it's FINE]
I'm walking away first just because I don't want you to. I'll be in the Beauty Salon if you decide to stop sucking so bad. And don't waste food!
[Hilariously, Sasuke is actually startled by Senri's outburst. He's shut up, for once, and can't think of anything he wants to waste his breath trying to say. He hasn't seen this side of Senri, not the true, unbridled anger.
He should know being alone isn't great...?
But he doesn't try to stop Senri from leaving, though he also doesn't take his eyes away, not until Senri's gone. Now he can be frustrated and grumpy, and he cuts his head back--only to spot the rice balls and the tomatoes. He sighs heavily.]
