That sounds like an insult.

[1/2]

[sengokus]

It was just the easiest one to pinpoint. You have other charm points.

[sengokus]

[he wants to bury his head in the sand]

[dotcom]

[



heh. ]

You should list them.

[sengokus]

[he takes a handful of virtual sand into his grasp

he's clearly resisting the effect

and thinking about

shoving this entire fistful of sand in his mouth]

[dotcom]

[ he waits.

... ]

What are they, Mineo? I'm asking. It's rude to keep me waiting.

[ is he using the effect against him? mayhaps. ]

[sengokus]

[the fistful of sand inches closer to his face like he's really thinking about it

he can't even tell takeru he's the worst even though he's confirmed the worst

but he just

mumbles

something]

..............es..............

[dotcom]

Huh? Did you say something?

[ he places a hand at his ear, like he's trying to amplify his hearing. ]

Speak more loudly.

[1/3]

[sengokus]

[noooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

—You have unreasonably nice eyes, you're smart and cool, occasionally really funny, and even if you say you're selfish I think you don't give yourself enough credit and—

[sengokus]

[oh he's not saying this last one]

[sengokus]

[he eats sand]

Guhah....!!

[now he's too busy spitting it out to finish]

[dotcom]

[ holy shit



he watches mineo choke. the urge to be nice will make him reach out eventually to pat mineo on the back, but just know that normally he would just let this happen without helping. ]

What was going to follow after and?

[sengokus]

[he hATES THIS]

Nnnnnooo!! Pleh ehscuse mah rudeneh....!!

[do you know how hard it is to talk when you've got sand on your tongue

he's actually getting up again and straight up running for the fake ocean because he needs to wash his mouth out

it's not rude because he tried to be polite and also he can't fucking talk like this anyway]

[dotcom]

[ he just casually stands up and dusts any sand off himself before following after mineo.

it's funny because if mineo had cut himself off any other way, takeru would care less, but since it was so extreme he is now very interested. ]

What were you going to say?

[sengokus]

[it's really funny because the sand doesn't actually exist it's just the sensation of sand getting washed out with the sensation of ocean water but he's just going to wade around in the water and stand there

like he really wants to kick water in takeru's direction]

... nothing important...

[also - ]

You know it'd be nice to hear anything in return.

[he normally wouldn't be this much of a bitch

but]

[dotcom]

If it's not important you'd just say it.

[ but hmmm

there's a pause as he tries to figure out what to say. he hates this effect. ]

... you're brave. And caring. And funny to watch. [ that one is technically an insult but it's said in a way that it passes ] And you're good at-- things.

[sengokus]

[wh]

Things?

[dotcom]

You can find out what they are once you tell me what you were going to say.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . he's dunking his head in the water]

[dotcom]

[ NO

he walks fully over and grabs at his arm. ]

If you don't tell me I won't speak to you for the rest of the week.

[sengokus]

[WHY DOES THIS THREAT ACTUALLY WORK but he's just lifting up and probably getting water on takeru from how quickly he does]

Takeru! You can't threaten me, it's nice week apparently......!!

[dotcom]

I apologize for threatening you.

But I also don't take it back, which I'm also sorry for.

[sengokus]

[this is actually the worst]








I apologize for being difficult I just don't want to say to your face that you actually are good at kissing and I don't regreeeehhhhhhhholy shit!!

[HE SPLASHES HIMSELF IN THE FACE WITH WATER]

[dotcom]

[ ah. hm.

this is unfortunate because his immediate response is to relentlessly mock mineo for this admission, but he obviously cannot, so instead takeru just looks at him in silence. ]

Hm. Is that why you were so upset when I said we can stop?

[ this is still teasing but it comes out as not flat out mean at least ]

[sengokus]

What?! No—

[oh my god he can't say shut up even though he wants to say shut up. he'll splash at takeru with some of the water instead. you know, like friends do, and not in the way that he wants to absolutely yeet this twink into the sea]

I'm just serious about if you have trouble finding indulgences then why bother taking out the easiest one?! I want to help you, and that wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be! [this is so much earlier than i thought he'd talk about this]

Now tell me what I'm good at - please!

[hE HATES BEING POLITE TO TAKERU AND ONLY TAKERU]
