... you know, the second time he and I ever spoke, he gave me a gift.
[ Yu smiles at the memory. ]
There's more to him than he seems to want everyone to think. It only makes me want to be closer to him, though I'm sure he'd be angry, if he heard me say so.
[ They are on a date together and they cannot shut up about Sasuke Uchiha, it's fine. ]
... I think so, too. [ softly ] What he did for you in the trial... it was reckless, but it was also very kind. I remember thinking then that he must really care about you.
[ Of course, by "trouble," Yu had not meant Sasuke. But, well, the other boy is fairly irrepressible... ]
It was stupid, and if you ever see him get that weird look on his face that says that he's about to do something like that again, you help me tackle him to the ground.
[SENRI,,]
... it's not that I'm ungrateful, but I'll never praise him for putting himself in the line of fire for me.
[ Honestly, that makes Yu laugh, the silent, very soft kind that's very sincere. ]
You can count on me.
[ he means it,
Shakes his head slightly. ]
With his reputation, it was dangerous. Of course, that's what made it most effective... others were likely to believe it. [ wry. ] ... he's a passionate person, I think.
He's an idiot. You don't need to be nice about it.
[GOD he can go from perfectly soft about sasuke to rude as shit at the drop of a hat]
... I had to tell people after the trial that he was lying, because they really believed that he cursed me. If I had a little less faith in him, what even could've happened there? He'd be in so much trouble.
[and he just sighs heavily]
If you're going to try to get to know him, I'd appreciate it. I think he's already starting to mellow out but... well, if you uncover something upsetting for him, please be careful too.
I don't know how dangerous he can still be - even if he's just lashing out in emotion.
[this feels like a fair warning to give?? senri takes a second to roll up his sleeve - and there appears to be a very faded mark around his wrist where someone seems to have held too tight, almost impossible to notice now until senri's drawing attention to it.
... I already planned to, for my own reasons, but what he did at the trial really impressed me.
[ He'd known the moment he heard it that it was a lie -- but not necessarily because he'd understood Sasuke's character perfectly.
It simply hadn't made any sense. If Sasuke really had done it, he wouldn't have said a word. To claim ownership of it was to be obvious in lying about it, and Yu had wondered why.
It's a little clearer, now. ]
But I wouldn't want to push him. I don't want to see what he'd feel forced to do if he felt cornered. [ A slight frown. ] ... this contest will push all of us to our limits.
... this is just a hunch, and I don't know if it's the right thing to do - but it's what I've been good at so far.
Piety wants a world that's balanced, but they also told me that they think that it'd help all the gods if they can learn from this experience, and grow now that there are third parties involved. They weren't able to all rule together because they disagreed before, but I think.... maybe it's possible to get their relationships to smooth out.
Dizzy was mad at Cheri, but I think she's going to try to apologize - so I need to make sure that Cheri hears it, and doesn't get mad at her.
Bambi is a little hard to talk to sometimes at the start but - I think she just wants friends. She feels like the other gods aren't nice to her, so she hasn't been able to make connections with them.
That kind of thing...
They're - really people, just like us, but more powerful. And I'd like it if they could find happiness, even after we're gone. So for that to happen, they need to try to understand each other better.
[ Yu actually has to mouth "Bambi" out loud to get who that means, but he does get it on his own. ]
... I've thought all along they were their own people, [ he says softly. ] Understand each other better... I'd like that, too. But what's the best way to help them do that?

but the rest gets like
a look??????? ]
... you really know him well, huh.
no subject
[also like senri makes sasuke so angry that he just screams his tragic backstory at him sometimes
it's
fucking wild
that said there's an unfortunate fondness in his voice]
... but he's worth the trouble, every now and then.

[at the end of the day, senri will still choose an emo over a perfectly nice respectable boy and that's why he needs to die]
no subject
If I can, I'd rather make him smile. That's just how I feel.
... someday, you're going to get in trouble you can't get out of, Senri.
no subject
It's a joke, don't be so serious.
At least when it comes to Sasuke-kun, I'm not worried about that anymore. He wouldn't let anything happen to me.
[he's so confident about this and it's the worst]

Yu-kun, have you tried to talk to Piety yet? Do you know about any of the weird feuds the gods have?
