[




no he like. kicks him really hard in the shin. ]

[sengokus]

[WHY DO YOU DO THIS

HE'S YELPING AT THAT AND JUST HOPPING ON HIS GOOD LEG]

Ow—!

[but he doesn't like

complain other than that so]

[dotcom]

[ he sits back down on the couch after. ]

That's better.

[sengokus]

[HE'S WHINING and rubbing his shin where he got kicked as he balances on one foot]

Is.... Is that it...?

[dotcom]

I initiated it, didn't I? Sure, it shows how horny you are since you went with it, but I can't be as angry as I could be since you didn't start it.

[ instead he's annoyed for other reasons. it kind of shows in his expression?

but he doesn't seem to be like, Livid. ]

[sengokus]

[oh my god he flinches and flusters]

Stop! If you're gonna hit on me at least be sober and less mean about it!

[but.... fine. he looks a little unsure but he'll go to pick up his tea and then go sit on the arm of the couch by takeru. still enough space between them............. nervous.]

.... so what're you irritated about then?

[since it's. obvious that he still is.]

[dotcom]

[ HE MAKES SUCH A FACE AT "HIT ON" i'm sorry he's so rude ]

Nothing that matters.

[sengokus]

[he's so rude and mineo is just going to roll his eyes before he takes a sippy of his tea. takeru just said he initiated so he can say what he wants!!]

... it's bugging you....

So I think that matters...

[but he's at least learned from when he's pushed too hard before - ]

... You don't have to talk about it if you really don't want to, though.

[dotcom]

No, it doesn't matter.

[ he sounds very firm about this, and he takes a long sip of his coffee. ]

More importantly, you were going to bite me.

[sengokus]

I - really don't think that's more important...!

[BUT IT'S HARD TO SAY IF THAT'S BC HE'S EMBARRASSED OR IF HE'S WORRIED ABOUT TAKERU'S FEELINGS]

[dotcom]

You're not allowed.

[ HE JUST

SHOOTS THAT IDEA DOWN ]

[sengokus]

Why do you bring it up just to tell me no?!

[dotcom]

It's better for you to know before you even try.

[sengokus]

[he just makes a face]

You left so many on me.....

[he's just. given up on buttoning up anymore because hiding it went so poorly last time so he just rubs at his neck with his free hand, embarrassed]

[dotcom]

You were pissing me off.

[ it's said in a tone like he's stating a fact. ]

Don't think anything of it.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ? raising his brows as he sips his tea]

What do you mean?

[dotcom]

[ oh my god mineo, you're supposed to immediately understand what he means so he doesn't have to explain. ]

Don't get weird.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . ]

You—

No.... We can't be having this conversation... Am I dreaming?

[IS TAKERU TRYING TO TELL HIM NOT TO CATCH FEELINGS]

[dotcom]

You can leave.

[ he has decided he no longer wants to see mineo. ]

[sengokus]

Shut up, I just - didn't think you'd tell me that.

[????]

Erm.

No, I don't think you'll have to worry about that? Even I know to separate indulgences from feelings....

[as much as he can, anyway. it is a sign of trust that he'll let takeru do anything to him at all but he doesn't think it'll lead to those feelings getting worse. the affinity between the two kind of just goes in one direction rather than both generating trust.]

[dotcom]

[ it's not something he wants to deal with, and he'd rather be blunt about this kind of thing instead of dancing around the topic. ]

Good. Then that's all.

[sengokus]

[he still looks confused, a little surprised that they had this conversation at all but... he nods.]

I just said I'd help you, and I'm not taking that back.

We're partners, right?

[dotcom]

You're also not allowed to admit the marks are from me.

[ he just skips entirely over what mineo just asked to switch to something else entirely. ]

[sengokus]

[oh my god]

I knew that already! I finally got questioned about it and knew I'd be in way too much trouble if I told the truth...!!

Now answer at least one of my questions!

[dotcom]

I mean it. If even one person brings it up to me I'm beating the shit out of you.

[ he huffs. ]

I don't need others getting weird ideas.
