.:Final Night Under the Stars (Week 3 Curfew):.

[hjadningavig]

[ There are beads on top of a table with some typical fabric string from studio.

In case someone wants to do some very basic art stuff. ]

Comments

[ohiganbana]

[ ah...his expression softens, raikou pulling tsukasa over to somewhere they can sit together. ]

But we're still together right now, so let's make the most of it. [ for the both of them! it's not time for dramatic gay goodbyes yet. ]

[aspirings]

[Tsukasa hums lightly in response to that, obediently following to sit.]

Very true! I'm not ready to say goodbye either, for what it's worth.

[Hm... different subject...]

So you chose the library to rearrange it like this... it's a good idea.

[ohiganbana]

I had a few more ideas if the library was occupied, but this is the easiest I think.

[ wrapping an arm around him with a light hum. ]

And since I can't stay up or wake up, I'll be sleeping with you before midnight.

[aspirings]

Oh, alright.

[He's not going to complain, honestly; it's cozier that way. Even though he understood why Raikou would want to keep watch instead, he's glad for this.]

We can sleep when we're tired, then... I don't exactly feel ready for sleep myself yet.

[Given the Anxiety.]

[ohiganbana]

When we're tired but not too late. I don't want to wind up in a funny position and half asleep on a pile of books.

[ the anxiety... he can't make tsukasa into a noodle in public so he opts for a quick nuzzle instead. ]

Just a few weeks ago you wouldn't even accept my jacket.

[ heheh. ]

[aspirings]

Well, yes! That's because I thought you were trying to give it to me at the cost of your own sleeping arrangements!

[Nuzzling is cute... Tsukasa will just lean against Raikou comfortably.]

Which is exactly what happened, by the way! [But he knows now that Raikou never intended on sleeping at all.]

[ohiganbana]

Is that so? Well now I can confess that I would have slept with you then too, if I didn't think I needed to stay awake.

[ this should not be a surprise considering you know, their bedding arrangements. but! this has nothing to do with that.

please understand how he was doomed from week one- ]

[aspirings]

[...

Tsukasa blinks at that, head tilting.]

On Thursday night, that first week?

[He's only just now processing how down bad Raikou has been and for how long--]

[ohiganbana]

[ smiling pleasantly at his one braincell. ]

That's right.

[aspirings]

[.... Huh...]

And you weren't planning on saying anything at the onsen... when were you going to say something?

[ohiganbana]

[ raikou let's out a chuckle that's only a little nervous. ]

I wasn't sure. I was thinking I should, but I also thought that it was better if I didn't.

Besides, I wasn't sure if you were interested at all.

[aspirings]

... Ah.

[Huh.]

... I should be grateful that the onsen played out like it did, then.

[ohiganbana]

I think, it was probably inevitable. If it wasn't in the onsen than one night when we were in bed or maybe at camp.

[ he knows himself with tsukasa by now, he really is just a failure at not letting his heart run over his head. ]

But I'm grateful too. I would have missed out on at least a day of kissing you!

[aspirings]

[Tsukasa just snorts lightly at that, amused.]

When you put it like that, it sounds ridiculous. I suppose I had nothing to worry about after all.

[ohiganbana]

[ blink. ]

Worry?

[aspirings]

Yes! That I might not have realized in time!

[ohiganbana]

[ have a kiss tsukasa, because he's not really sure what to do with that. ]

I was going to ask you if you would have said something once you realized but—that's pretty much what happened. And I'm glad you did, because I had already convinced myself that liking you was selfish, let alone anything else.

[aspirings]

... Well, yes! I can't imagine not saying something.

[This is because Tsukasa does not think before he speaks.]

That is very like you, though... [Deciding it was selfish.] You're very hard on yourself, after all.

[ohiganbana]

Hmm... [ he hums and curls closer, half resting his head on tsukasa's own. he is feeling Perceived in this wendys library right now. ]

Then it's a good thing you're louder than me, huh? I can't listen to myself if all I hear is you.

[aspirings]

[Yeah get perceived and cared for, Raikou!!!]

Hm... not the most flattering way to put it, but...

[He can work with it.]

Of course, you can always count on me. I'll remind you any time you're being too hard on yourself.

[ohiganbana]

Tsukasa, that was the whole point, I was trying to spare myself a gruesome death—

[ you're making him feel mushy and he should be Alert. ]

I can't reciprocate properly for you here... [ he is too japanese to do more than cuddle and give him a few kisses while in a group. ]

[aspirings]

[Oh, so that's how it is. He just laughs at that, not-at-all quietly, entirely boisterously.

Sorry to everyone else who's trying to chill here in the library.]

Hm, I see...! So the problem is that I'm being irresistible! [tsukasa shut up]

[ohiganbana]

[ tsukasa!! HMM let's see if this approach works instead-- ]

That's exactly right. So what are you going to do about it? [ he says this seriously though he's actually playing. ]

[aspirings]

Hm...

Well, there isn't much to be done about it tonight.

[Taking it seriously because Raikou says it seriously, and because he's Tsukasa.]

But I will come up with something for later!

[ohiganbana]

[ raikou should have seen this coming, but he didn't. so of course he laughs and holds him just a bit closer. ]

Then I'll hold you to that. [ he won't. ]

Are you feeling a bit better?
