[ hm... ]

Maybe ask Grace if she can go with you?

[sengokus]

[a beat]

Excuse me? And where would you be going?

[sengokus]

[a glance over at takeru]

... yeah.

But it's kinda worrying at the same time for how much more we have to go, and what we might have to lose to indulgence.

I don't know how else to get it to end earlier - in a way that works out for both of us.

[sengokus]

[his brow furrows in a bit of confusion]

I wouldn't say that in the first place.

[takeru is a such a bitch but also he's definitely been nice to mineo sometimes]

But I don't really want to receive it like this.

[dotcom]

I don't know yet. I just might be dragged somewhere as a favor for someone, but I won't know for sure til later.

[dotcom]

Fine.

[ there's a small glint in his eye. ]

But if it happens again, you have to initiate it.

[dotcom]

If it comes down to something like that, stop worrying about me.

[ he sighs, after he says this, like he knows this topic is useless to return to. they just go in circles. ]

I'll make sure I have enough.

[sengokus]

[just

really long silence]

I -

What?

[sengokus]

[ . . . hmmm. mineo lets his fingers tap on the table before nodding]

Okay. But if you aren't, come with me and Grace-san.

[he figures takeru knows better than to end up alone? but might as well say it]

[sengokus]

[they really do just go in circles!! mineo doesn't have to say it for takeru to get the general 'I'm going to keep worrying about you' vibe]

Fine. We'll figure it out.

[dotcom]

[ yeah, he doesn't look entirely too pleased, but he'll let the subject drop. ]

[dotcom]

I said that you need to be the one to make the first move.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . ]

Are you sure you're not setting me up to get in trouble later? I feel like I can get in so much trouble for this.

[well

admittedly last time they kissed was when mineo went for it first and -

well.

(also the fact that he still thinks he's going to get in trouble when takeru is giving permission is something)]

[dotcom]

[ he pats mineo on the shoulder. ]

Don't worry, I'll let you know.

[dotcom]

This is my condition. Accept it or don't.

[ this is a kindness?

probably???? ]

[sengokus]

[he stills and can't say how creepy he thinks this niceness is]

.... I miss talking to regular you....

[that's not? totally rude?]

But uh, that's fine.

[sengokus]

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

With the understanding that saying no is still a very kind answer and I will respect it because being able to exist within your partner's boundaries is important -







Do I get to bite you back?

[dotcom]

I'm not a fan of this either, you know.

[ it truly becomes apparent how much of his dialogue is just rude commentary ]

[sengokus]

[nods......]

Yeah, I know. You really held back.

[SO MUCH WALKING AWAY FROM YUEL]

[dotcom]

Why do you want to bite me back? Is that what you're into?

[ he says this as if he hasn't been

biting mineo ]

[sengokus]

What? I think it's pretty clear that's what you're into, maybe I'm just trying to return the favor!

[also yea mineo's into biting he just doesn't know that yet]

[dotcom]

It should only last a week, anyway.

[ he is assuming they will be alive and well and good ]

[sengokus]

At least you're not artificially in love with anybody.

[just.

wow!]

[dotcom]

Are you sure? You seemed pretty into it.

[ he's just saying? ]

[sengokus]

I—stop! It's about indulgence - indulgence....!

[IS IT REALLY INDULGENCE IF YOU DON'T PARTIALLY ENJOY IT EVEN A LITTLE]
