sengokus | childe gets to bully now

[wow there is so much happening. but mineo is probably just going to awkwardly watch white text someone and then molly check his phone only to not find a text before he just closes his eye and

wanders off to go get a drink (probably non-alcoholic but who can say)

in theory that is when he finds childe]

Oh - hey, Childe-san. Weird week, huh?

[Mineo can have a soda if he wants. Or tea. Whatever he likes, he is a good boy.

But Childe greets him with a little wave--presumably he's finished with Primrose and Shi Qingxuan by now, shoes and socks back on because he's not a fucking barefoot weirdo.]

Hello, Mineo. [Childe, for his part, has been having a GREAT week. The hilarity. (He does not say that.)] It's been a little more chaotic than I expected, I'll give you that. Are you handling it alright?

[He doesn't think?? Mineo's been having problems himself, but given how close to White and Takeru he seems to be, it's gotta be a weird fucking time.]

[CHILDE YOUR FUCKING FEETISH BASKETS

anyway mineo is just going to look a little confused at the question]

People keep asking me this.... I mean, I'm a little mad that my friends' feelings are being toyed with, but I'm personally okay.

I'm a huge fan of love and all, but apparently this is fake so...

[someone had to tell him it was a curse. it's fine. he learned eventually]

[STOP HE HATED IT.

Also he's just. Going to take a convenient sip of tea because he can't think of a way to politely say "how in the hell did you think that was real"]

...Well, I can't say I know them terribly well. But I'm pretty sure they'll be alright on the other side of it.

[Maybe they can get White something to destroy in outrage once he's freed. An angry piñata.]

[SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT LOVE TO BE REAL!!!!!!!!]

.... maybe.

[he doesn't look like he's as convinced, but he won't go into detail. instead he's just going to take a sip of his water before tilting his head]

I dunno. How would you feel, Childe-san? Is love important to you...?

[iris in the void, laughing]

You never know. Perhaps it will motivate them to be honest with the people they genuinely care for.

[Probably not though lmao

Also yeah Marivallo Childe is having a sneezing fit and has no idea why. This Childe, however, just smiles and shakes his head slightly.]

Not in the way you're thinking of, no. It's not a priority at the moment. [It will never be a priority, but he has no reason to say that out loud.] It is to you, isn't it?

[hmmmm yeah he's not going to touch that since he has no idea what it'll do to them both

he's more curious about childe's opinion.]

Is love important to you in a different way...?

[if not the conventional romance sense]

I mean - it'd be nice... but I also don't think that's something I should really be thinking about here. It'd get way too complicated for me.

I love my family very much. But they're enough of a handful as it is, haha.

[Sometimes... your little brother becomes a stowaway because he doesn't know you're a murderous criminal. It's fine.

He nods, though, at Mineo's answer.]

I don't think anyone can say that isn't smart of you, after what happened last week.

[fucking gay drama trial]

Ohhh, yeah, I get that. I have a little sister! I don't get to see her that much, but I think about her all the time.

[doting big brothers..................]

But - hah, right? I mean..... It'd be nice, but I really don't think this is the place for that.... It's tough, to want love but know that it's a pretty terrible idea!

[Awww, big bro Mineo. He can absolutely picture that.]

Even if the circumstances were different, you don't strike me as the type to enjoy something temporary anyway.

[Would Mineo have a fling... probably not, he thinks...]

[there's just a bit of a laugh at that]

I really come off that obvious, Childe-san...?

[well, he can't really deny it.]

Mm.... Yeah. I think that if I were to ever try something with someone, I'd want it to last forever. I mean, I'd have to find someone who'd want me back first but....

[a shrug]

Maybe that's my type of greed?

You've just always seemed passionate about it, whenever it comes up.

[He probably didn't stick around to hear Mineo lecturing Molly and White about relationships but it's not like Mineo's romanticism is much of a secret.]

What sort of person would you want, then?

[ . . . . ? he looks a little thoughtful at that]

... someone who wants me back...?

[he tilts his head]

I guess I have a type.... a little cute, a little badass - but I don't think that I've thought too hard about it... There's a lot of different types of people, and I think I like a lot of them...

[love is a feeling that just happens to you!

..... is what mineo thinks]

What about you, Childe-san?

[Mineo... this just makes it sound like you'll be into anybody who pays attention to you...

Childe obviously does not say that, just smiles into his tea.]

Reciprocation is pretty important, I'll give you that.

[He blinks, then, like he's a little surprised to have the question turned back on him--but it's an easy enough answer, since Childe is only interested in exactly one type of person to begin with.]

Well, if I had to choose, I'd say someone strong and smart.

[honestly mineo is the type of person who could reasonably fall in love with anyone in the right circumstances? but he just tilts his head at that]

Ooh.... Those are good traits to have. Is it because you like someone who's kind of like your even match, Childe-san?
