[why is he, tsukasa suou, dating a giant fckin siscon
There's definitely a less than impressed look crossing his face, on top of a sigh and a shake of his head because oh dear god that's not what's going to be happening.]
Absolutely not. You will enter the front doors with me like a normal person...!
sorry, now it's his time to look a little disgruntled at that. front door? normal person? what? what? sure, it's tsukasa's house, and sure, it's not like leo wants to cause all that trouble in the manor (which he wouldn't, if he didn't get caught, so--) but--
--where's the inspiration in going in through the front door? ]
Huh?
[ just
baffled at first. as if that's sinking in. and then, slightly more energetic-- ]
Huuuuh?! That's boring, isn't it? If starting a bit of a ruckus is the problem, it should be fine if you sneak in with me to explain, right? Me and you, right over the fence... alley-oop! ☆ That gets the heart going way more...!
he's thinking for a hot second again about how much easier it would be to date a cute girl or something or even someone just generally more mild-mannered than leo fucking tsukinaga and yet here he is
here he is]
Why would I try to sneak into my own manor - that's just more trouble than it's worth! Stop having ridiculous ideas, Leader, you'll just end up causing a mess! There's no way I'll be able to explain that kind of unacceptable behavior if we get caught....!
[ for the same reasons leo isn't dating a fucking emotional mess like wataru "is this even the same dimension" hibiki who'll go with his dumbass ideas no problem because they're not even as weird as he is
balancing each other is nice. easy answers are nicer, which is why leo responds to tsukasa's worries in a way that makes it seem like what he's saying should've been the simplest solution in the world? it's 1 plus 1, what he says, that is-- ]
why the fuck are the rest of knights never here when tsukasa feels like he's experiencing a crisis with leo. except admittedly he thinks this one is a little too straightforward for leo not to understand which is why this is a struggle and
yeah there's a blank stare for a while.]
Or don't try to break in in the first place...! Leader, why aren't you listening to me? If this doesn't work out, then we'll have to keep going back to your house and encounter the issue with Ruka-sama again...?!
[nice tsukasa, playing dirty by using the little sister
[ 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- ]
yeah he didn't expect that to actually work out how it did. he looks a little bit surprised before schooling his expression back into something neutral and serious, nodding along with it
(even though he also kind of wants to question why his leader is so relenting for his little sister but not for his boyfriend, why the fuck)
whatever]
What would you say...?
[no he's genuinely curious, leo is such a doting big brother how could this possibly go. he kind of wonders if ruka will frown a little and then leo will just hand tsukasa over]
[ ( 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 ]
You always play with things that are very serious matters... Though I suppose if anyone would be best equipped to handle that, it would be Ruka-sama.
[she's cute as hell but also dealt with Leo for a lot longer than Tsukasa ever has.
Still, he listens thoughtfully and something warm blooms in his chest when Leo says 'I get it' and he finds himself shaking his head almost fondly. Almost. Ahh, his Leader could be so frustrating and yet sweet sometimes. without even trying? that really managed to make it worse.
but worse still manages to be relative, because tsukasa finds himself intertwining his fingers with leo's and scooting over to sit closer to him regardless.]
Mm, I'm curious what she's thinking too, but I suppose this is a matter best left between siblings? I wouldn't know...
But - regardless of what she says or thinks, I hope... this won't change?
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. ]
Mm, I know. A gentleman wouldn't want to hear second-hand information anyway. Once you speak with her, if she is willing, I'd like to speak with Ruka-sama myself.
[because that's the polite thing to do and if nothing else, Tsukasa tries very hard to be polite. mostly to young ladies. but that's probably what got them in this predicament in the first place--
not that that's what he's thinking when leo does
well. his leo thing.
and it's the same leo thing that managed to ensnare Tsukasa in the first place before Ruka even stood a chance, before... anyone else even stood a chance really. it's embarrassing but Tsukasa lets his hand be guided even as he feels his face turn into something embarrassed and disgruntled all at once.
leo just happens to be So Much All the Time.]
W-Well, you shouldn't play around with any serious matters....!
[but I'm glad that you take me seriously.
(he always has been.)
but Tsukasa's shaking his head, his mouth in the shape of a frown even though his cheeks are most certainly red]
I can't imagine that anything would change us so drastically that this wouldn't be possible anymore... [that there's a scenario in which he could be without leo in this way, now that he's gotten a taste of it] At the very least, we can agree on that.
[ 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- ]
there's some part of Tsukasa that wants to roll his eyes because that definitely isn't even close to a verbal answer or any sort of natural response. he thinks that since they're talking about Ruka, maybe Leo would be a little bit more focused but pulling Leo back down to earth continues to prove just as impossible of a task as usual.
so here's Tsukasa, shaking his head - admittedly fondly - for just a moment until he leans into meet Leo anyway.
because Tsukasa is weak to his Leader, that's something that's always been a fact, and so answering that movement for a kiss is easy, pressing their lips together is easy, and a soft, vague hum is easy.
being with Leo is easy.
though at the same time he can't let it all go so simply, of course not. so when he does pull away, his brow is furrowed despite the fact that his cheeks are pink and he questions:]
