[ . . . oh.

with his hand over mineo's heart - he'll probably feel the way that it skips, that its rhythm stutters under the weight of takeru's words. his own feelings share that sense of surprise, but they also carry a sense of being touched, surprisingly validated, and like the words are nearly enough to warm his heart so much that he forgets to doubt.

(... only nearly though. there's still some sense of uncertainty about himself, if he's doing enough. that'll probably never go away.)

he bows their heads together and he can't help but reflect - ]


... it's unfair. How much you can affect me.

[when it was takeru's words that used to reopen all his old wounds - but it's so different now, when he only feels reassured by them. even if he can't promise anything about a future together - not in such a romantic sense, even knowing these feelings....

there's no denying that takeru has a certain hold on him.]

[HE CLEARLY DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS

BUT HE FLIPS TAKERU OFF AND STORMS OFF TO GET HIM A SWIMSUIT]
sengokus: (♟ there's nothing left)

[this time, as with every time aside from the first time, he kisses back. though this time, takeru can feel it - the warmth, the affection, the surge of emotion that comes with the gesture. the idea that anything about this was easy, or that it's not a miracle that they've managed to make this work somehow.]

... it's not on purpose. [he speaks softly against takeru's lips, pausing briefly to kiss him again.] I think I could start wanting your praise too much.

[it's too risky - given everything else. the fact that mineo has other people waiting on his answer, and the fact that takeru might still run at any moment.]

You're easy to get lost in.

[he kisses him again anyway, like that's any simpler at all.]

[hates this goblin

would've gotten him a mankini if he didn't know that would just get him in worse trouble

but he will just give the bare minimum - ]


Takeru!

[when he comes back before tossing a pair of black swim trunks at him]
sengokus: (♟ fake sentiment)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-25 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[it's not stupid because mineo's already committing murder later that day he doesn't really need more violence beforehand

but he'll

whirl around to not look but there's a sense of embarrassment coming off of him as he coughs into his arm. it's literally nothing he hasn't seen before and yet]


Uh - anyway! Yeah! Beach day!
sengokus: (♟ i thought of angels)

[1/2]

[he hesitates for 0.3 seconds]
sengokus: (♟ 'cause i'm not giving up;)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-25 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[but if takeru's draping himself on him then mineo's just straight up grabbing onto him, picking him right off the ground and running wholeass straight into the water so that he can toss takeru in]

BEACH DAY!
sengokus: (♟ i'm not giving up no not yet;)

[it's funny.

the pang of hurt is mirrored in mineo's own chest - like he's a little upset that he doesn't know how soon or when he might lose this. he's stubborn, sure, but even if he chases takeru forever if he ends up with adonis, it'll be hard to find a moment again like this. even if they hurt each other and they forgive... isn't that all the more reason to hold onto this moment before they have more grudges to hold?

he holds takeru closer then, as if that'll be enough to express his feelings - the same singular wish of stay with me even if he doesn't want to bring them to his lips again to start yet another argument.]


.... I will.

[for as long as he can, and longer still. he presses a kiss to takeru's hair.]

.... what were you going to say?
sengokus: (♟ in the dark and)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-25 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's

laughing so hard. he's dying. there's a fucking feeling of self-satisfied victory like every horrible thing takeru's done to him was settled with this one dunk.

he clutches his stomach as he continues to mcfucking lose it]


Ha - your face...! Hahaha!
sengokus: (♟ choking on their halos)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-25 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . he doesn't say it - but there is a generally sense of disbelief. regardless, he decides that maybe it's for the best if there are still just a few things left unsaid between them. so he lets takeru change their focus, instead just moving to press their mouths together again





anyway after this very soft thread, mineo gets railed on the desk and then everyone's christian so we can leave it now]
sengokus: (♟ and hope i wake up young again;)

Haha-gah!!

[well he gets tackled while he isn't paying attention

and - he still has barely the presence of mind of making sure that when they fall, he goes down first

but they are absolutely falling into the water with a giant splash]
sengokus: (♟ look at me all fucked up)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-25 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[mineo is probably coughing up water

but also he's immediately trying to grab takeru's wrist to yank him back fucking down]
sengokus: (♟ and find that you're missing me)

[personal profile] sengokus 2021-03-25 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[at least he makes some attempt at catching takeru

he's not trying as hard as he normally would so who can say if it was super successful]


I don't want to hear that from you!

[ - well, he's complaining but his emotions still suggest he's having fun, unfortunately]
