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. ]

[sengokus]

[oH MY GOD]

Are you sure you aren't getting some twisted enjoyment out of this?!

[he does not realize that's partially the point]

Seriously, can't we just go take a nap or something?!

[A NON-SEXY INDULGENCE]

[dotcom]

I guess...? I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get in the mood to nap with you right there.

[ that doesn't seem very soothing to him... ]

[sengokus]

What do you think I'm gonna do, jump you?!

[jeeze - he rolls his eye before placing a hand on takeru's shoulder to give him a light nudge]

You've really never relaxed a day in your life - c'mon, let's get going then!

[dotcom]

... where are we going?

[ he sounds a little bewildered, despite the fact they have been discussing this. ]

[sengokus]

I dunno. Still probably the simulation room because I'm tired of seeing the rest of these rooms. Too much murder.

[at least the simulation room they can pretend they're somewhere else. but guiding takeru out of the kitchen!!]

You need to learn how to do nothing, Takeru. Even if it's just for a couple hours. Maybe this is a Sloth indulgence for you too?

[dotcom]

I do nothing when I sleep.

[



sometimes you're a workaholic it's fine. ]

[sengokus]

[partially mood bc mineo also was a workaholic before he quit but]

Yeah, besides that.

Let's go! It'd be nice to see Shibuya or something, right? Not feel like we're stuck inside a weird space station. Maybe we can go to Kyoto....

We took care of all our work for today so might as well stare at something that's not a vending machine.

[dotcom]

... fine.

[ he'll just start walking to the simulation room without another word. ]

[sengokus]

Nice!

[i don't know why he's so happy about this when all takeru does is abuse him but]

Where do you wanna go? A castle? A park?

[dotcom]

A castle is fine.

[ is it because mineo is into that? mystery ]

[sengokus]

[HE GASPS]

Whoa, seriously?! Then we could go to Honnouji or Nijo....!!

[HE AUTOMATICALLY LOOKS EXCITED - but then he thinks about it]

Mm, but that's more for me than for you.... Maybe we can just go to Osaka! [which is still exciting for him but more scenic so it's not just mineo screaming about history] Do you prefer Fall or Spring, Takeru?

[dotcom]

No preference.

[ into the simulations room! he'll stand to the side. ]

[sengokus]

You sure....?

[into the simulations room! mineo will head to the panel and place his hand on it, letting the room adjust around them. they're not quite in osaka castle just yet, a little further away so that they can catch the scenic view of it surrounded by warm colors under a clear sky]

I don't know if I like it better like this...

[a pause as things shift - just a bit. the colors on the trees change until cherry blossoms are in full bloom]

Or like this....

[dotcom]

[ takeru truly just has no preference it's funny

but it seems like mineo is undecided, so he'll make an executive decision. ]

Just keep it this way.

[ spring. ]
