week 2, sunday

[dotcom]

[ takeru is standing in front of the vending machine, frowning at it. he does not look over at mineo whenever he enters, but he must have seen him because he starts to talk. ]

Another weekend, huh?

[sengokus]

[the vending machine.... mineo will just go to start making some tea then if takeru's gonna hog the machine but]

... yeah.

[a beat]

Kinda weird that we used to look forward to these?

[weekends.... not that they worked classic 9 to 5s or anything]

[dotcom]

[ he's mostly just staring at it. ]

I don't think I actually relaxed on them before.

[sengokus]

[takeru your appetite.

mineo won't push it though, and once he has two cups of green tea he'll wander over and offer one out to takeru]

.... wanna give it a shot today?

[it's not like

they have anything else especially pressing to do after a man just died]

[dotcom]

[ he'll take the tea. ]

Huh? And do what?

[sengokus]

[shrugs]

I dunno.

Walk around fake Tokyo in the simulation room? You said you didn't relax before, but we can at least kill time until tomorrow once again hits us with something horrible and surprising.

[dotcom]

Walk around Tokyo? With you?

[sengokus]

I hope the tea's too hot and you burn your tongue.

[dotcom]

I'll throw it in your face.

[sengokus]

I can't control the tea temperature, stop!!

[but he is taking like a step back just in case anyway]

Do you have any better ideas for trying to relax in this crazy place?!

[dotcom]

[ hm...

oh. ]

Has anyone bothered you about the mark?

[sengokus]

[fucking deadeyes for 2 seconds before he just

flusters]

..... no.

[he takes a sip of his tea. it is not too hot.]

Why?

[dotcom]

[ he also just sips his tea. ]

Just curious.

[ it was so fucking funny. ]

[sengokus]

[BRISTLING]

You enjoyed me getting roasted, huh?!

[TAKERU IS SUCH A BITCH]

[dotcom]

It was a highlight of the trial.

[ sip. ]

Were you going to bite back?

[sengokus]

[oh my god

he

he pauses like he totally forgot he said that]

.... are you asking me to?

Is that your idea of relaxing? [takeru that's so horny] Are you sure you don't just wanna go to Shibuya or something?

[dotcom]

What? No. I just want to make fun of you.

[ he sounds so fucking offended right now ]

As if I would allow you to do that to me.

[sengokus]

[wh]

Are you saying you just wanna bite me but I don't get to bite you back?!

Takeru!

[dotcom]

Saying that I want to bite you is a pretty generous interpretation. You just pissed me off, so you got punished, stupid.

[sengokus]

You couldn't pick a more normal punishment?! You already kissed me!

[which he

flusters worse saying??? it took him days to process as a real thing that happened apparently]

[dotcom]

It got the result I wanted, so I think it was fine.

[ seriously. so funny.

but he quiets down, tilting his head. ]

Actually, you're even more embarrassing than I thought you'd be.

[sengokus]

Don't grin when you say it!

And - I'm not embarrassing....!!

[yes he is]

[dotcom]

I think less people would have noticed if you didn't make such a big deal about it, idiot.

[ f u n n y ]

[sengokus]

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

I feel like people are really excited to dogpile on me no matter what I do.

[did mineo accidentally shoot himself in the foot

yes

but do people love to mess with him

also yes]

[dotcom]

Well, I'll need you again for it next week. Remember, you said that you'd help.

[ terrible. ]
