[he looks a little surprised but he'll go and sit]

... if you're sure.... but if you change your mind, let me know.

You went through a lot today.

[fluffier]

Thanks for worryin' about me.

[ . . . ]

Sorry, I ain't good... I don't like people seein' me scared.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . his brow furrows at that, and he offers a hand out to her, palm up.]

... I get that.

You don't need to say sorry.

[fluffier]

[ She'll take his hand, lacing their fingers together with a smile. ]

You musta been scared too, right before ya came here. [ She glances at him. ] Are ya still keepin' that a secret?

[sengokus]

[ . . . ah. his expression falters for a moment at that before he just gives her a tired smile]

... nope.

When we were seeing each other's memories - he found out. A couple of other people did too.

... so it's still mostly a secret but....

[takeru found out, and that's who mineo wanted to hide it from the most]

[fluffier]

[ She squeezes his hand, and leans against him with the plate still balanced on her legs, just their shoulders smushed together. ]

He wasn't too mad, was he? [ Though with Takeru, it's kind of hard to tell. ] You guys still seemed friendly at trial.

Ain't it any easier with that secret on your shoulders?

[sengokus]

[yuel is cute and mineo will just manage this without flustering too bad - but his expression just turns a little thoughtful]

... 'friendly'.... How do people even see us...

[he knows takeru would hate that]

... it kind of is - but we're running into new problems. I don't think they're... worse problems, really. I just don't like giving him stuff to worry about.

[a beat]

I don't want to ask you to keep more secrets, Yuel-san... but uh - I'd prefer it if people just talked to Takeru about me less. I'm pretty sure it just gets on his nerves.

[fluffier]

[ She's quiet for a moment before looking over at Mineo, failing to suppress a smile. ]

... Is there anything that doesn't get on his nerves?

[ He's annoyed with her 24/7. ]

I wonder what it is ya see in him, to still be his friend when he's like that... But from the sound of it, it still seems like you two care about each other.

[sengokus]

[he snorts a little bit at that - ]

Yeah, the normal way to put him in a good mood isn't working lately.

But he's my partner. It's hard to tell... but when he's hard on you, it's probably because he cares. It's pretty backwards... but I'd only be worried if he totally gave up on you. It's easier to just ignore someone you totally hate, right?

I don't wanna say that he cares a lot in general... but once he decides you're worth his time, he'll invest a bit more into you. And I know that... when you walked through the door today, he wasn't happy.

So even if he's rude to you, you still matter to him.

[fluffier]

[ She's watching with something akin to amazement, his words making sense in a way that she hadn't considered in the past.

She'd been pretty close to giving up on Takeru entirely. ]

Yer partner...? [ Had he referred to Takeru as that before? ] That's not yer lover, is it?

[sengokus]

[HE LOOKS LIKE HE ATE SOMETHING BAD]

No! Not at all! Absolutely not! No way!!

[fluffier]

Oh yeah? [ Gives him a sly look, gaze dropping below his collar. ] But ya obviously have one.

[sengokus]

[oooooOOOOOHHHH HE'S FLUSTERING WORSE]

N-No, I don't—I....!

I said I'd help someone with their indulgences....!! That's all it is!

[fluffier]

Is it that easy? If I asked for yer help, you'd let me do that too?

[ She's trying not to laugh. ]

[sengokus]

[spoon,







mineo is turning so fucking red but]

....... I........ I want you to get your wish, so.............

[yes]

[fluffier]

[ let's play chicken dana

because yuel is internally shaking her head ]

Okay.

[ closes eyes ]

[sengokus]

[wh]

O.....

Okay?

[WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, YUEL]

[fluffier]

[ just waiting

i can't believe yuel is a pillow queen? ]

[sengokus]

[i

i'm]

..... you -

Do you want me to give one to you?!

[SPOON THIS IS A LAST WEEK THREAD IT WON'T EVEN FUCKING COUNT FOR AN INDULGENCE I HATE YOU]

[fluffier]

[ snort

she's not buying that mineo will actually do it ]

Yeah, it's been a busy week... Unless you were lyin'?

[sengokus]

[I HATE THIS

she's clearly teasing him but mineo looks so unreasonably serious about giving somebody a hickey]

No.... I'm not.

I wouldn't lie about something as serious as helping a friend. If - If that's what you really want from me, then I'll do it. It's important to me that you get your wish.

So you can ask whatever you need from me and I'll help you get there.

[fluffier]

[ oh, uh.

well, she finally opens her eyes, and she looks a little embarrassed. ]

I gotta say it...?

[sengokus]

[erm.]

Uh....?! N-No, I just...

Wanted you to know I'm serious about this!

[fluffier]

[ She's looking at him with doubt, not because she actually doubts how much Mineo cares for his friends, but because she can't tell if this is an intimidation tactic.

He's trying to get her to back down, isn't he?

But she's not one to be intimidated, so she'll close her eyes again and tilt her head toward him. ]

Okay.

[sengokus]

[well now that someone else hit 70

i hate it here because he's going to just wonder what the hell kind of world he's living in? he has no reason to think that she's not serious about this - but even then, he's not really someone who will exactly take the opportunity too indulgently -

even if that's the point?

well, it just feels a little wrong. even this much feels like he should've at least bought her dinner first but. if it's what she wants, then.

he'll lean in just to briefly press a quick peck to her lips. embarrassing. het chicken is the worst.]
