Maybe it is the amount...

[ hm...

thinking thinking ]

[sengokus]

.... do you need to indulge more, Takeru?

[he's

he's not sure if he wants to have this conversation but

well he already said it]

[dotcom]

[ an uncomfortable silence where he does not say yes or no ]

[sengokus]

[ . . .

well. mineo pauses given that he.... now knows what takeru's wish really is but.]

... 'kay. I'll help.

[dotcom]

[ ...

he just stares at mineo. ]

I don't accept pity.

[sengokus]

Yeah? Well good, because I don't give pity.

[ . . . . ]

Just - tell me why later. Even though I know I won't like it. And I'll probably argue with you all along the way... but at least we do that all the time anyway.

[he made a choice a while back - the choice to trust takeru - and if he's one thing, it's stubborn.]

[dotcom]

[ instead of answering, he takes a long sip of his water.

... ]

Just help out.

[sengokus]

[a beat and then]

Are you physically capable of saying 'please'?

[PUSHING IT]

[dotcom]

[ TOSSES HIS WATER BOTTLE AT HIM ]

[sengokus]

[CATCHES IT]

That answers that, I guess.

Fine! What do you need me to do? Hold still when you hit me? Take it while you insult me until I want to crawl in a hole and die?!

[a beat]

This sounds so awful....

[dotcom]

... what are you? Some kind of masochist?

[ the fact that he immediately jumped to that. ]

[sengokus]

[GHK]

No! But what else would you want from me?!

[the way he's not thinking about sexy stuff at all is really sending me]

[dotcom]

Oh, don't get me wrong. All of that is definitely preferable.

[ it's just

so funny ]

[sengokus]

[UGGGHHHH]

See?!

And the other stuff is -

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

No!!

[even if it's objectively easier]

[dotcom]

It's not like I'm running to you for it. It sounds like that kind of thing would be a miserable experience with you.

[ mineo is

so embarrassing ]

[sengokus]

[anyway i was telling you not to tag because i hate that his response to this

is just to get offended]

—What the hell? No it wouldn't! Don't just say you'll take my help and then dunk on me!

[dotcom]

I'm just saying. You seem like you would be too much work.

[ please stop insulting him

but honestly, doing this makes it easier to ignore that he was so badly triggered earlier. it's fine. ]

[sengokus]

Too much— I don't want to hear that from you! You probably wouldn't do any work at all!

[what is he saying. what is he talking about. does he even know.]

[dotcom]

Do you even know what "work" is in this context, idiot?

[sengokus]

[he opens his mouth

he goes red]

...........................

[he starts by mumbling stuff. it's impossible to tell what he's saying. and then he ends with] - o-obviously!!

[oh my god]

[dotcom]

[ .....

this is the first real smile he's done today. well, it's more of an evil smirk. but it's better than all of his other expressions, probably. ]

What was that?

[sengokus]

[takeru is truly an S]

L-Listen when I say shit the first time!! I'm not repeating myself!

[absolute fucking idiot]

[dotcom]

You were completely incomprehensible. Aren't you supposed to be helping me?

[ funny. ]

[sengokus]

[STOP]

Y-You just said you don't actually want me to help you with that! [wait] Which, by the way, I could! And I wouldn't be bad at it!

[BUT MOSTLY - ] Stop making fun of me!

[dotcom]

I'll stop when you stop deserving it.

[ which is never. ]

You've never done it, so you don't even know if you would be bad or not.
