...Huh?

Interlace?

[??? ??????? ????]

[usogi]

.... we're really working with the basics here, huh.

[senri is

going to fucking hold out his hand]

[dupelicate]

[he stares at it.]

...Why are you holding out your hand?

[usogi]

Take it.

We're doing a live demo of very basic PDA.

[dupelicate]

[!!!]

I'm not holding hands with you! What if Taka gets mad?!

[Taka is VERY COOL]

[usogi]

Trust me.

After this week, this won't even be a blip on Taka's radar.

[what the fuck happened]

[dupelicate]

[HE'S SUDDENLY HORRIFIED, LOOKING BETWEEN SENRI'S HAND AND SENRI'S FACE]

Wha--?!?

[usogi]

I'm waaaiiiting, Luke-kun.

Holding hands isn't a big deal anyway - especially since I'm just showing you for demonstration. It'll be quick and painless.

[dupelicate]

Uhh...!

[is he closing his eyes?

yeah

what of it.

he gropes for a minute in the dark, and successfully grabs Senri's hand, face rapidly coloring.]

Okay!

What the hell now!?

[usogi]

[ . . . .

what the fuck is he

senri is like quietly pulling his phone out of his pocket with one hand to take a picture of luke's face in this moment and

still taking pictures as senri will

gently interlace their fingers]

[dupelicate]

Yeagh!

[His eyes snap open, and several things happen:

1) he now understands implicitly what interlaced fingers is.

2) he is now aware that Senri is taking picture.]

Hey!

Are you kidding me?! Give me that!

[His free hand shoots out, grabbing at the phone camera.]

[usogi]

[nope, this bitch is laughing again and already moving to slide his phone into his back pocket!!

ARE YOU STILL GONNA TRY TO GET IT, LUKE, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT]

Nope, nope!!

Anyway, there's your lesson! Do that next time you see Pippin! It's soft and gentle!

[dupelicate]

[it's about this point where he realizes that he doesn't have to keep holding Senri's hand.]

Arrgh! You think that's gonna stop me?! I bet it won't survive if I throw you in the fountain!

[usogi]

—I got a new case from Indulgence but I'd really rather not test it?!

Don't - this outfit is dry clean only!

[dupelicate]

I don't know what dry clean only means! Gimme!

[He's just crowding Senri towards the fountain, grappling for the phone regardless of its proximity to ass.]

[usogi]

[nO HE'S GONNA KEEP SCOOTING BACK and try to keep his balance]

Stop bullying me, I'll tell Sasuke!

[dupelicate]

Who do you think's bullying who right now?! Woah--!!

[he stumbles, and actually does nearly dump Senri into the water--

--except that Luke throws himself bodily forward, catching his fellow redhead before he can topple into the drink.]

[usogi]

[SDLKFJDSKLJF

SENRI IS CLUTCHING ON - ]

Why are you like this?!

[dupelicate]

Hey! You're the one taking pictures and... teaching me finger stuff! [IS HE STILL BLUSHING OVER THIS

With a muscular heave, he pulls Senri out of harm's way, and flops back down on the side of the fountain.]

Fine! Just... no sharing!

[usogi]

Fiiiine!

[is what senri says and he'll breathe a sigh of relief as he also rests against the fountain

but]

... don't call it finger stuff. I beg of you.

[dupelicate]

[???????]

Hand stuff? Whatever!

[usogi]

Worse!! Much worse!!

[dupelicate]

How is that--y'know what? I don't want to know! [ARRGH]

[usogi]

You'll...

Find out eventually maybe....

[luke is

baby]

[dupelicate]

How come you know so much about this kind of stuff, anyway? Aren't you like...

[.............]

...young, or something?

[HE CAN'T REMEMBER THE ENGRAVING ON THE STATUE]
