[ what the fook don't drag his sister into this, this horrible boyfriend-
-except it works, because leo straightens his back and looks absolutely troubled by that fact for a whole 2 seconds because having ruka's crush rubbed in her face like that is not! not what he wants!
they were aiming to avoid that and it's true what tsukasa says, if they take risks they'll just throw that situation right back into ruka's face-
so, he relents. ]
Ahh, Right, right... That's no good! It's so plain, but - if it's for Ruka...
[ he'll wALK IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR AND BE A GOOD BEAN, NOT TAKE RISKS
let's pause the bitching from tsukasa's checkmate for a moment so he can actually make a serious addendum here- ]
... Maybe I should talk to her about it, too...

[ ( because ruka is cute and pure and tsukasa is not but anyway - )
honestly, leo isn't. quite sure how to answer that question? he said "maybe i should talk to her" and the maybe was already hint enough that he hadn't thought as far as he usually does about these things, which is not at all -
- and usually, yes, he's pretty good with all those spur-of-the-moment sayings because saying what needs to be said isn't really that difficult at all, except it's ruka. so. ]
That's pretty nosy of you, huh, Tsu? What if I said that was a secret?
[ he starts, light at first, until his playful smile relaxes into something softer. ]
Nope, nope, just kidding. It concerns you, so it's not like I'm not gonna answer... [ and it's tsukasa, anyway - he can spoil him sometimes ] ... Mm, probably something like I get it?
[ maybe it'll end with the tsukinagas having a sleepover and secretly talking about tsukasa's good features but it's not like leo'd ever admit to doing that. not that he's pulling an izumi, but. ]
It'd change on what Ruka wants to say, or what she's thinking... I think.
[ but he's actually not giving tsuk...asa up... so...
not that tsukasa's property to give up or anything ]

Anything she's gonna tell me is staying in the depths between my imagination and reality, okay? What you get... that's up to her.
[ there's that warning.
if ruka felt like she had things to say (whether they be to tsukasa or otherwise) once leo made it apparent that there was an awareness of her small tells, he wasn't going to tell her no. he'll support her to do what she feels is best for her? that's just how it was.
maybe he'll know. maybe he won't.
to tsukasa's other words, however... he's far more certain about the outcome of those, as he gives their intertwined fingers a gentle squeeze. he smiles, calm, in that rare way of his when he's both settled and fond. ]
The answer to that last one's up to us, though! And... [ tsukasa scoots closer, and leo meets him halfway, scooting too. then, he brings tsukasa's hand to settle over his chest - it's not as if his heartbeat can be felt through his hoodie, just - leo's all about illustrating the point through action, too. ] So long as what's here's still singing the same, we'll be the same.
[ wait, that sounds stagnant. they're always blooming, inspiring, shifting, so - ]
Or, well... moving in the same way! Up? Forward? Diagonally? Wherever you like! [ ... ] Except that kinda counts as changing...? But if we both change together, maybe not at all. I love you, Tsuu - you don't need to ask if the roots of that'll ever change, 'cause they won't, wahaha! I'm not playing around with this "serious matter" - ☆
[ ah yes, said so shamelessly.
with such love crammed into the syllables, because if he doesn't let those feelings out of his chest eventually, he'll drown in them. ]

[ ppfft. and now tsukasa's displaying the same traits that nabbed this whirlwind of a king. the earnestness, the care he takes, the way tsukasa gets flustered easily even though he, too, can pull some sort of command, which wouldn't make you think that -
- he's red and leo's free hand trails up to tsukasa's cheek, because, yes, he's Too Much All The Time and that means falling into this love all over again. simple-minded, see, and he could respond to everything that tsukasa's saying but, you know, that can come later and right now -
right now he's just really in love, so excuse him if he wants to lean in for a kiss?
tsukasa's careful with ruka, tsukasa agrees that what they have is so impossibly large that letting go seems like a possibility even outside leo's imagination? not that he'd ever think up of anything like that, anyway.
there's no room for that, anyhow. no time to craft impossible, grand scenarios, not when right now the only thing on his mind is i love you, i love you, i love you- ]

[ well, it's not like leo and tsukasa are perfect. they have arguments sometimes. everyone fights. big ones are rare, sure, but it's mostly the small, petty ones that rise up now and again - where leo gets too absorbed in whatever or teeny annoyances and eccentric habits build into something that gets someone slightly pouty.
they don't last long.
leo's quick to both forgive and apologize - he loves tsukasa too much to be either the source or target of any minor anger, and letting things fester was never part of his personality type.
so, it's been a whole twenty two point five minutes! leo lasts a whole twenty two point five minutes, giving tsukasa a little bit of time that he fills with working (finishing) on a piece commissioned from him... before he moves from the study to their room, where tsukasa's likely relaxing in bed.
was likely relaxing in bed, anyway, because the moment leo makes his way in carefully he's flopping forward to lay his upper half on the empty space in front of tsukasa, his legs dangling.
and, with his brow furrowed: ]
Tsssuuuu. Are you still mad?
[ he didn't mean to eat the fucking cake you were saving in the fridge or something just forGIVE HIM ]

[ sheesh. that gets leo's frown to deepen, an unpleasant fluttering in his chest at being ignored (isn't he the one that used to do that all the time?), even if he's still aware that this isn't a big fight. but, you know, leo's just this way - and seeing tsukasa displeased is actually the absolute worst. that feeling doubles when tsukasa's displeased because of him.
see, he would've gone out to buy another cake but it was late enough that everywhere of note was closed, and if he was going to get a replacement he'd get an exact replacement anyway. what point was there to correcting his careless, inspiration-driven mistake if he wasn't going to completely correct it?
maybe he can m...ake it? but he'd also rather do that together with tsukasa, too, so that's also a bust.
he takes a moment, hesitates, then shifts a little closer. ]
Mmm... I should've definitely started with sorry, huh...? Look, I'm sorry - [ and then a hand, outstretched to poke lightly at tsukasa's side as a little call for attention. ] That was a totally selfish thing I did, but I'll definitely get you an exact copy of that cake...! Is that okay, Tsu?
[ another soft poke. ]

[ it's a step! and mostly now he can look at tsukasa, which is more than enough to get leo's uncertain expression into something that's more like usual - that is, a wide smile, brilliant and unabashed. he can see tsukasa's face now, and that's wonderful?
not that it being better is going to stop him from fixing his mistake anyway, but the "better" seems to be enough for him to come even closer, hand brushing tsukasa's side. did he notice that bit of squirming, and did he correctly associate it with the unintentional tickling?
who the heck knows.
maybe he's just needy and touchy, considering his next words. ]
I'm glad! [ incredibly. definitely taking that small victory. ] I'll make it one hundred percent better in the morning, so... I missed you. I can say that, right?
[ he says, like it hasn't only been twenty two point five minutes. ]

[ again, who the fook knows. but considering leo's hand follows tsukasa's retreating side, and there's something like a mischievous sparkle in his eyes, the corner of his lips quirking, it's - it's definitely leaning more towards an intentional action.
now, at least.
whether it bringing tsukasa closer is an intended side effect is a whole other thing. not that it isn't anything but a win win either way. ]
Time's relative! Even ten seconds can feel like a day if you're waiting, you know? If you take it how it is it hasn't been long, but not every hour's the same, not really... ♪ Get it, Suo~?
[ maybe he's actually making a point
maybe he's babbling to distract tsukasa with a "the fuck does that even mean, leo" part two, so he can take the opportunity to poke his side with a little more purpose
for science and all.
he's definitely transparent here, there's no hiding it now. ]

[ sorry that went in ear and out the other nani the fuck is english. except this is the asshole that screeches out guten morgen at ass o' clock in the morning so it's not like he can talk about being unintelligible
anyway, it's the funnest night to be Suou Tsukasa! blessed as he is to be beside a Leo who's now near-cackling, shameless and chipper, now that his completely-subtle scheme has been unraveled. this trainwreck takes the opportunity now to shift his position, maneuvering himself so his arm can reach around in something like a hug.
yeah, now he's just outright pulling tsukasa closer like a loser
at least he's not tickling anymore ]
Wahahaha! You're almost like an instrument right now, Suo! A touch, then a sound... Not bad, not bad.
[ what is wrong with this man
but now you know he's just going to move to try and get on top of tsukasa, placing both of his hands on the sides of his poor victim's head. like a barbarian. that'll help the irritation. but isn't it so nice how he's, like, literally sparkling?
no, it's probably really not. ]
Hey, do you know that's one of my favorite sounds? Your laugh, I mean. So... yeah! You'd be one I use in a lot of songs, Suo!
[ and then that sparkling just seems to dissipate as he realizes something. yeah, that nice loving stare into tsukasa's eyes is just going to be replaced with a blink and then stare forward onto the wall because- ]
Wait...! Wait... You sing in them so I guess I already do? Ahahaha!
[ back to sparkling. yeah tsukasa didn't get what he just said before but leo obviously doesn't care as he just moves on to more confusing things
fuck you newbie! ]

[ there's some unintelligible babbling when tsukasa shoves the paper in leo's face; that's both a blessing and... really not much different than the rambling that comes out of this disaster's mouth on a regular basis.
it doesn't sound like any sort of disappointed or annoyed ranting, at least. more amused than anything else, though it certainly doesn't match the expression on his face when the paper is removed and tsukasa's next words come.
something so... far-fetched? tsukasa is telling leo tsukinaga, king of aliens and disappearing acts (not so much anymore) and Bullshit--
--business as usual. ]
Huh...? Action, reaction?
[ eyebrows furrow, lips press together, and then leo is leaning back and cocking his head slightly to the side. it's as if the miracle that is Common Sense has short circuited him. ]
Ahh... And don't make it into something so simple, Tsu. Making it an absolute like that really doesn't describe it well at all... That's dull, that's really dull!
[ and somehow saying instrument shit does don't question this ]

[ what's the possibility of leo "human disaster" tsukinaga causing an unnecessary scene in a hospital with a broken arm? pretty high, probably -- high enough that honorary nagging mother izumi was trying his best to keep him confined and contained, but apparently not high enough that leo couldn't get away.
maybe he'll end up getting into another fist fight, breaking his other arm. maybe he'll end up throwing up music notes all over the walls.
... maybe he just ends up walking past the vending machine with a red-headed person in front of it, and he stops. leo's naturally curious about things that strike his interest, single-minded as he is at times, and somehow this does.
for a number of reasons.
hope you didn't mind the weirdo approaching suddenly, leaning over with a brow raised. ]
Heyyy, most people punch the thing when it goes munch with their money, you know? [ says the guy in an arm sling ] Burning holes in the glass with your eyes isn't doing anything, unless you're checking out your hairdo! Wahaha! ☆
