mineo pauses for a second, a little startled by the contact. but the surprise doesn't last long, melting into something more certainly pleased. he reaches back out as takeru pulls away, catching his hand in his and giving it a squeeze. give him an inch and he'll take a mile. but even then the hold is loose enough for takeru to pull away like mineo expects him to]
.... then I won't let you down.
Whatever it is that you figure out... I'll be here.
[ he definitely pulls his hand back, to the surprise of no one. there's a slight scowl on his face, but it's overshadowed by the contemplative look in his eyes. ]
[ he doesn't say anything in response to that at first.
he thinks about the test he gave to ichika for her to earn the right to be his partner, and how when she passed she was so excited about it. and takeru wonders if mineo passed a similar one.
THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO HIM
SPECIFICALLY THE FACT THAT HE SUDDENLY UNDERSTANDS THE CHARM OF TSUNDERES
he can feel his face flushing and he hates it.......... he looks away like it's his turn to tsun a bit but there's no denying that he's really happy.....
fuck]
..... took you long enough to give me something I wanted!!
given the fact that mineo is obviously very happy about this, he can't hide the glimmer in his eyes, but he doesn't want to admit it to give takeru the satisfaction! but also he can't say that he isn't excited because it obviously means a lot to be called takeru's partner!!
he hates it here!! he collapses on the couch a little]

Don't get too sappy about it.
no subject
[but mineo doesn't seem surprised by that at all, just resting back on the couch.]
Or at least, I'm yours.
[it hasn't escaped him that takeru has refused to call mineo his partner out loud -
. . .
he's decided he can live with that too, though.]

Do you want to hear it?

mineo goes through the five stages of grief as he realizes that this would, in fact, be a treat for him and he wants it.
but he doesn't want to be takeru's dog.]
.... oh no.
[HE CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER]
no subject
but he laughs softly, his mood lifting somewhat from the heavy conversation that just happened. ]
... I think that you still have a long way to go, and you're going to keep fucking up and pissing me off. But we can be partners.
[ there may be a silent for now attached to it, but the words are at least genuine. ]

sometimes it's nice to just sit and talk about nothing pressing. ]
