This conversation is so... soothing.

[ he definitely did not mean to say that word.

but he'll eventually pull away enough so that he can look at mineo. takeru's expression is mostly just tired. ]

It was better when you were just complaining about your romance drama.

[ that was just earlier today and yet ]

[sengokus]

[he totally did not want to call it soothing. mineo will shift then, tilting his head when takeru moves to look at him.]

... I mean yeah, I'd rather take my small problems if it means making you laugh than deal with all this.

[that's not a hard choice at all - but that's just not how it's working out.]

You wanna head back to your room? Take it easy until you gotta meet up with Harrow-san?

[dotcom]

... yeah. They're probably going to start moving from there soon.

[ and he really does not want to run into anyone when he hasn't pulled it all together yet.

but he'll take a step back and. start walking again, although not as quickly as he was when he was actively running away from the big scene. ]

[sengokus]

[nodding and following after - though he keeps a hand on takeru's shoulder]

... do you want me to get you something warm? Tea?

[though -

there is also some acknowledgement that takeru might want some space. mineo followed after to make sure he wasn't having a breakdown on his own, but he also wants to give enough room to breathe in case takeru needs to process some of that on his own too. he thinks he's done the most he can for immediate care at least.]

[dotcom]

[ there's just a nod.

takeru figures that mineo will run off at some point, at least, since a lot has happened and there's still information to gather. ]

[sengokus]

[there is!

but the chances of him caring this fine evening are really fucking slim when everyone is still in the middle of healing and his goblin is compromised.

so he'll just squeeze takeru's shoulder once before splitting apart from him, wandering off to get him some tea. he doesn't rush as much as normal if only to give takeru some peace and privacy, but he'll knock on his door later to deliver it]

[dotcom]

[ it'll take a moment, and the door tentatively opens, like he's unsure of opening it when he doesn't know who it is. when takeru sees that it's just mineo though, he'll shuffle back inside while leaving it ajar. ]

[sengokus]

[this poor traumatized cat hello

mineo is just going to close the door behind him, holding the tea out. he probably put sugar in it to sweeten it some? but caffeine is bad for anxiety so he decided against coffee.]

Here.

[he tilts his head]

.... do you wanna keep talking about this morning?

Or I can talk about something stupid to occupy the silence.

[dotcom]

[ he'll take the drink, and takes a sip from it. he just walks into his bedroom and settles down on the edge of the bed. ]

Talk about whatever.

[ be a distraction before he has to get back into work mode. ]

[sengokus]

[he follows after and immediately hits with:]

Who do you think would win in a fight? Yanagi-senpai or Okazaki? I feel like I wanna say Yanagi-senpai out of loyalty but Okazaki's SP.....

Or could you like - distract Okazaki with something so he lets his guard down just enough for Yanagi-senpai to knock him out? Like shouting 'Okazaki! There's a sale on neck pillows!' And then boom, Yanagi-senpai gets him with an uppercut.

[dotcom]

[ this is

so incredibly stupid, wow. ]

If that's enough to distract him, then they need to fire him immediately.

[sengokus]

[TAKERU SAID WHATEVER

SO MINEO WENT WITH THE FIRST THING HE COULD THINK OF]

Yeah, but it's not like a job fight. It's like a manly fight for fun or something.

[yanagi would literally never agree to this]

[dotcom]

[ he takes a sip of the tea


he can't even fuckin comment that this is stupid he hates nice week ]

How drunk are they for this to happen?

[sengokus]

[i hope takeru regrets letting mineo pick a topic]

Hmm....

Pretty drunk. Though I've never seen Yanagi-senpai drunk.... I've never even seen you—

.... well before we came here....

[now he's seen takeru drunk! remembering that. taking a sip of his own tea. hm wow fascinating.]

You're a pretty funny drunk, though.

[dotcom]

[ he narrows his eyes. ]

And I'm funny... how?

[ explain. how is he funny. they just made out. ]

[sengokus]

[stop

but he has an actual answer to this!]

You're good with dogs! I didn't see that coming.

[I DON'T KNOW WHY HE DIDN'T TAKERU TREATS HIM LIKE A DOG]

[dotcom]

[ ...........




he snorts ]

That wasn't because I was drunk, bud.

[ bud.... ]

[sengokus]

[holy shit]

Bud?!

[give him a second he's laughing]

Ahaha, well we haven't gone back there since... maybe we should. But I thought you were extra nice to them 'cause you were drunk.

[dotcom]

Stop.

[ he can't say shut up. ]

If I was extra nice to anyone, it was you.

[ was he

was he really. ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . . . . he has no idea what to say to this that isn't rude

he just sips his tea]

I believe that you believe that.

[THAT TECHNICALLY WASN'T RUDE]

Oh, your sense of balance was off. That was kinda funny and cute.

[




"roll over" was very funny to mineo.]

[dotcom]

I just want to remind you that this effect will be wearing off in a few days.

[ he just wants to make sure that mineo knows that takeru won't be stuck in nice hell forever. ]

[sengokus]

[HE DOESN'T REALIZE THIS IS A THREAT???

he's just nodding]

Yeah. It'll be nice to say whatever you want again, right?

[dotcom]

[ stupid.......... ]

I'll find you right away.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . . . . . okay now it's clicking]

Please exercise mercy. I thought I've been good this week.

[he threw snakes]

[dotcom]

You just called me cute and funny.

[ a grave mistake? on top of the snakes?? ]
