[he

places a hand over takeru's]

Please tell me what you decided your rules are for coming onto me because I'm very confused, I thought I was safe but I don't feel safe at all actually.

[dotcom]

I felt challenged and it got on my nerves.

[sengokus]

Then don't make up weird rules for yourself at all! It just lures me into a false sense of security!

[dotcom]

You shouldn't ever feel secure.

[sengokus]

Don't say it like that, it's even worse!

—wait, I'm getting distracted again?! What do you mean you don't know your type....

[dotcom]

Why do you even want to know so badly? Do you want to get your feelings hurt? Is this an M thing?

[sengokus]

—I'm not an M! Quit that!

[EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING IT]

It was meant to be a bonding thing! An exercise in friendship!

[dotcom]

I don't feel like I've bonded with you.

[sengokus]

You didn't even give me an answer...

[so now he's just frowning]

Besides... me not being your type or whatever... Not that it matters or anything...

[he really did get his feelings hurt this is so stupid]

[dotcom]

Does it not matter?

[ IT CLEARLY MATTERS ]

[sengokus]

It doesn't matter!

[he says in a huff where it clearly matters

but he just lets his arms drop from around takeru as he flops onto the airport floor in a huff]

Good bonding!

[it was not]

[dotcom]

[ he peers down at mineo. ]

Maybe we can cut off a few centimeters?

[sengokus]

Don't just neglect me and then threaten to chop me down!

[dotcom]

It'll solve the height issue.

[sengokus]

What issue? There's no issue.

[he's fine not being takeru's type

though he. seems to catch himself a bit here and just... frowns...]

... why am I getting so worked up over this...

[dotcom]

[ he just continues to look down at mineo. ]

Why are you, indeed...

[ it's said softly, but he'll go to roll out of mineo's lap. ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . there's an impulse to reach for takeru before he can get too far, and mineo sits up to follow it, reaches out a hand - before he just. drops it again. looks at his own traitorous hand.

hm.

hmmmm.]

.... this got complicated.

[IS HE JUST NOW REALIZING]

[dotcom]

Did you really just notice?

[ he is

so exhausted. ]

[sengokus]

Mm... Even more complicated than I thought...?

[he is pouting though. he seems torn on what to do now but. his compromise is just that he's going to put his head on takeru's shoulder because he's also exhausted]

[dotcom]

[ he allows it. ]

We can stop.

[ hooking up, he means. ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . ? he's already lifting his head from takeru's shoulder]

Stop what? Am I already doing something you don't want?

[he's not reaching that hooking up conclusion on his own]

[dotcom]

If it's complicated, we can stop from further complicating it.

[ he knows mineo has a lot of opinions on the topic. ]

[sengokus]

[he tilts his head]

... Is that what you want?

[dotcom]

I want whatever you'll be more comfortable with.

[ i don't want to give or receive anything less. ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . that sure is a loaded suggestion, when mineo doesn't even know what the answer is. there's an immediately torn feeling because - by now, he's so comfortable with kissing takeru. it's warm, and it bothers him how much he already misses being on the receiving end of a surprise kiss.

but it's getting complicated. and mineo owes other people answers and honesty, and his own ideals of love are getting a little twisted by this place. yet even after he's giving so much...

he reaches for takeru's hand to pull him closer again.]

... restraint won't really get us anywhere here.

[in the literal indulgence center, when giving in to the things that they want to do, even (or especially?) if they might be complicated, is ultimately what they're supposed to do]

... we're partners. We can handle complicated, can't we?
