senri has to take a second after the trial to actually figure out what literally any of his feelings are doing. he doesn't do a great job, but he does a manageable one. he's tired and at the end of the day, he's human. probably a little too much so, given that he hates how he's in touch with his goddamn feelings.
so he heads to the kitchen, and then he looks for sasuke.
and whenever he finds him, he'll just. sigh. he appears to have brought something with him?]
.... are you going to chat with the gods tomorrow?
the first thing senri does is reach out to wrap his fingers around sasuke's wrist. normally the right words come to him easily, and he's more interested in keeping the peace than actually starting an argument to resolve any irritation he has. that went out the window with sasuke some time ago.]
—You didn't have to do that.
[get angry for him, he means. something twists in his chest when he thinks about it, but also - ]
I'll say sorry you had to find out, but I didn't lie about anything important either.
[what do you do when you want to say 'thank you' and 'i'm sorry' at the same time]
[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]
[it's a little bit after the nonsense with the gods - and senri's off doing his own thing. as far as 99% of his interactions are concerned, it's business as usual. easy, practiced smiles like nothing's wrong, and life as usual. though sometimes when he thinks no one's paying attention to him, he looks a little distracted - like he's still thinking really hard about something
it's a little bit after trial is done. he went to the kitchen to get a cup of tea to warm up his insides first, and then he got to work. perhaps that's why when he comes to find sasuke, he's got another plate of food. rice balls and tomatoes, along with two mugs of tea in the other hand]
Hey, give me a hand.
[he's still cold but i'm so tired of writing his stutter okay]
[Just because Sasuke stays away doesn't mean he's away. Somewhere deep in Senri's middle, a sea of shame, and anger, and guilt boils. He's scarce. He's so scarce for the rest of Wednesday and most of Thursday.
Any glimpse of him, and he's gone just after somehow, like he had vanished.
But then later in the early evening, the pocket of gloom is closer. Wherever Senri comes out of, Sasuke is a yard or two off, standing mostly in the shadows with his hands in his pockets. He has a patch of gauze and tape over the left eye, probably a gift from Ray.]
sasuke was able to feel it. once senri woke up, and he heard ray giving the news of newt lying, and his eyes darting to sasuke and finding his hands in his pockets - the lack of anxiety. the relief. of course there's the worry that comes after - the surprise at the sound of a gun - and the uncertainty around oda but....
once the trial is announced, senri is somewhere near elated. he keeps a straight face on during trial and there is the nagging worry about disorder - but senri doesn't bother to hide it when they all disperse into the halls and he follows sasuke for a spell. once they get away from the busyness of everyone else, he's just going to pick up his pace so he can throw a hug around sasuke's shoulders before he can deny it - ]
senri's probably finding sasuke somewhere in the inn - and then taking his hand and pulling him out of the hallway and into one of the rooms. he has apparently made himself comfortable for the day and put on a yukata]
I thought you were going to Indulgence because he's got one of the most useful skills of the gods, and Ray-kun would've wanted to keep tapping into that even though we all dislike him.
But Ogou-san's coin is perfect, and he's still with Indulgence.
[by the time that senri meets sasuke to head to sincerity's for curfew - he looks tired. he looks absolutely exhausted, like he's barely gotten any sleep already. and upset? why is senri upset every single week. it looks a bit more serious today than it did on monday, his face still warm as he seems to be wiping at his right cheek, his remaining eye red for some reason.
he looks up when he hears sasuke approach and just sighs]
Will it do any good if I request that you don't ask....
[Sasuke has hidden himself away at the shrine in the west wing because he's very emo.
But he does come back to the temple very briefly to go into the kitchen when he thinks no one else is wandering around. He really should go apologize to Sincerity for destroying a piece of the room, but...
[It's weird. Sasuke doesn't exactly intend to look for Senri after the trial, but he does... out of habit? Out of... something that just tells him to, something that makes him gravitate to the citrus' orbit.
So he finds him and just... stands there, face bunched gently, but soft.]
it's not unlike after he had his fight with taka, when he finds sasuke and grabs onto his sleeve and wearing that expression that manages to be ice cold despite his smile:]
Control Narukami or I'll knock him out myself next time.
it's after he storms out, and after he spends some time away but - senri will eventually try to find sasuke. he comes with a tray of food. rice balls, cherry tomatoes, and a smaller bowl of almonds. and when he starts, his voice is soft still]
[senri had to wander off for a bit - because he had people to talk to, of course he did. but he'll eventually go to find sasuke again, settling easily wherever he is, breathing a little easier to find him still there. still somewhere within reach.
and despite everything... senri looks a bit more relieved]
... Mizuki-san is going to save you.
I'm going to Beauty this week, as a trade, so I'll have Above Suspicion just in case, for the last trial. Madopyon will go to Sincerity to cover me, so he'll be safe.
and then as if the night before wasn't rather awkward, here's senri. he'll show up wearing the sukajan that he was given, because it's new, and therefore he loves it. he'll skip around looking for sasuke once he's finished up his godly audiences for the day, and he really does nearly just walk right past the lab
until he sees him in it and wanders in]
Eh...? I didn't think this would be your haunt of choice.
week 1, thursday?? sure
no he's here to give you something else! .... not entirely by choice because when he sees sasuke he's internally like 'oh, it's that guy'
but externally - ]
Oh, hey.
[he'll at least start off not being a rude bitch]
You got a second?
