[ 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?
[well, if nothing else, it's hard to stay displeased with leo when he's so sincere about everything.
tsukasa doesn't even doubt that leo would be able to get an exact copy of the cake, probably put it in the exact same spot that it occupied in the fridge too. that sounds like the type of lengths that leo would go to in order to make something up for tsukasa and - honestly, that's sweet.
but tsukasa still wasn't really expecting that poke?
so he shifts a little uncomfortably and suddenly at first, even as he's rolling over to look back at leo after having shivers sent up and down his spine.
maybe he's a little ticklish there? whatever, listen - ]
[ 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. ]
but rather the definitely dignified and haughty response that's resting on tsukasa's tongue, the hand brushing at his side manages to elicit a noise that is a little less than dignified from him - somewhere in between a short laugh and a grumble of frustration
yet even then, in his attempt to shift and get away from Leo's hand, it actually brings him closer to Leo himself
does he even realize this grand strategy
is there even a grand strategy here]
Leader—
[PLEASE
a huff.]
It's barely been any time at all? What are you even saying....
[ 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. ]
[Tsukasa, if you want to be understood, maybe don't say the most important part of your message in another language?
Still though it has him squirming and he doesn't realize that it's bringing him closer to Leo until he's bumping right into him again, shoulder to shoulder. Now's the time for glaring and irritation and it sure is not a fun night to be Suou Tsukasa because apparently his boyfriend feels like Torturing Him.]
[ 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
[true, the tickling is over and that, at least, is something that Tsukasa will call a win. temporary as it probably is, even as he's being pulled back closer to Leo and some part of him is definitely staring at the wall because why is that a thing. why is his small leader and boyfriend still capable of pulling him around, it's the worst.
right next to the way that he climbs all over Tsukasa like a jungle gym, settling himself on top of him and still managing to have that stupid happy sparkle in his eyes and
Tsukasa is going to just take the paper that's in his hands from his reading and shove it in Leo's face for a moment because he's irritated still and Leo is a moron that he's in love with but also so stupid]
Even you must realize that your words went in circles, right?
[though he'll still pull back his hand and let the papers flutter off to the side as he looks up at Leo and raises a brow, followed by a sigh]
It's a given that if you create action in the world that's directed at me, there must be a reaction, you know? Don't make it into anything so far-fetched...
[ 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 ]
