and the thing is that senri is somewhere between preening and totally happy for the affection, but also super embarrassed? he holds still for tamaki, even leaning slightly into his touch, but there's no helping the blush that colors his cheeks because what the fuck is actually being doted on]
[So...cute. It's entirely unfair, and Tamaki finds himself reveling in the sight because flustering Senri never stops being adorable and funny. (It also helps because sometimes Tamaki's an idiot and gets himself flustered instead)]
You continue to impress me every day. [A winning smile solely to fuck with him.] I've always know you're an excellent actor but improvisational as well? I can hardly wait to see what you come up with.
[tamaki is so damn unfair and senri is suffering constantly. he huffs slightly once he realizes that he's being messed with, though it still carries a faint note of embarrassment with it. like he's just trying to remove his own fluster]
Well you know - it's important for a young man to possess a number of talents. I'll make sure to keep you on your toes.
[ - and maybe in his own tiny act of revenge he'll raise up to press a kiss right at the corner of tamaki's mouth, teasing and light
and then slip away as he hums and heads for Tamaki's room]
An-chan, where are you? We're going on an adventure!
I believe that's something we can both agree with. [His lips curve into another smile, and he turns his head to try and meet Senri for a kiss--
--but Senri's too quick and hits the corner of his mouth instead, pulling away and leaving Tamaki looking a little affronted and flailing just a bit to keep his balance. Hey!!]
--is one of those talents being a tease? [Flatly. But he stomps after Senri, not even really angry, but following back to his room.
Antoinette was asleep on the floor, but the moment she hears her second-favorite person she's rolling and scrambling to her feet, nyooming back to Senri with a please bark. The red ribbon around her neck is a little floppy and askew but she's ready for adventure!! Tamaki steps into the room to grab her leash.] Antoinette's seen a few places, so we should pick somewhere brand new for her.
[it's tamaki's birthday and senri is still so mean to him why is that
but senri is just laughing at the question, spinning back on his heel just to shoot tamaki a wink and blow him a kiss before turning back around to give antoinette all of his attention!! terrible. truly terrible. he's going to kneel down on the ground to catch antoinette in his arms and give her a thousand kisses that
tamaki did not get
lmao]
Ohh? Where has she already been? We'll make sure to mix it up!
[WHY!! He's definitely just sort of working his mouth opened and closed like a fish, distracted and a little peeved even if it doesn't last that long. It doesn't last long because Senri's adorable and happy, he thinks, and Antoinette licks Senri's face repeatedly with doggie kisses.
Anyone his dog likes is an automatic win for Tamaki, but that doesn't stop him from pulling out his ancient phone and taking a picture of his own.]
She came with us to the shrine and to Paris...perhaps she'd like the snow? Or the beach. Open space would be nice.
[thAT'S SO MANY DOGGIE KISSES but senri's just laughing because at the end of the day he's a dog person.... and he just keeps laughing as he buries his face in antoinette's fur because he loves her]
Mm, the beach sounds fun. I think I'd like somewhere warmer...
Buuut if we go to the cold, we'd just have to stay close and maybe you can magic up a kotatsu when we get back? Hot pot is also tastier when it's a little chilly!
[Sorry that Senri's face is now gross probably but Antoinette, like her master, is a lover not a fighter. She wags her tail again and sits still for Senri, even as Tamaki brings a hand to his chin to think.]
Kotatsu...[Well he's sold. He was thinking the beach could be nice but he likes the idea of cuddling...and also hot pot. It's pretty much hitting all of the squares of his domestication bingo and he nods as he steps forward to clip a leash onto Antoinette's collar.] It sounds better than any sort of dream I could imagine, especially when it's with you. Do you have a warmer jacket, or shall we pay a visit to the costume hall first?
[antoinette is PERFECT and it's fine senri might be trying to wipe dog slobber on her fur briefly - he'll have to stop by tamaki's bathroom to clean up before they leave....
but he laughs a little, because he doesn't sound too surprised at tamaki's decision.
he does look surprised at the question when he peers up though]
Of course I don't mind. [He tilts his head.] I wasn't sure if you would want to, or if you'd be more comfortable otherwise...
[For as poised and flirty as Tamaki is, this sort of thing is still not second nature to him and it takes a few moments for him to catch on. Bear with him.]
It's a really cute thing to do, right? Sharing clothes with your significant other - whether your styles match up or not! I think it's really sweet, to feel like you're a little bit closer....
[senri's shoujo fantasies strike again! he scratches behind antoinette's ears idly before he looks to tamaki]
And besides, I like—
[ . . . .
oh, he realizes he can't actually get the words out. a pink dusts his cheeks all of a sudden and he'll move to stand]
It is very cute...[He says, absolutely still hoarding Senri's sweater. He blinks in surprise though as Senri suddenly bolts up and turns to walk away. What was that about? He's still crouched on the floor with Antoinette, taking over ear-scratching duties as Senri gets to his feet.]
...take your time. [Hm. A mystery. But also he'll absolutely ask in like 10 minutes it's Fine.]
[NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, SENRI'S JUST EMBARRASSING AND NEEDY.
but he'll wander over to the bathroom to wash his face anyway. He loves Antoinette possibly more than life itself but oh god dog slobber and dog hair. if tamaki has a lint roller you bet your ass he's borrowing it.
that said he'll wander out easily enough, heading for tamaki's closet. he points at it as he intends to completely abandon their last topic of conversation]
[There's absolutely a little hanging rack with a few lint rollers because he loves his dog but, like, mood. It's fine though, they also look mostly untouched which means Tamaki apparently doesn't care that much.
Whatever. He's still on the floor with Antoinette and he watches Senri walk around the room and approach his closer.]
I'll admit, the latter is very appealing. Do you trust my judgment the same way you trust Kura-kun's? [The name slips out without really thinking about it. Sometimes he calls him Kura-kun. Sometimes it's Kura-chan. Sometimes it's just Kuranosuke but the point is...Sincerity. He knows where his strengths lie and they aren't the same as Senri's patron.]
[he'll say that easily enough even as he opens up tamaki's closet, glancing back over his shoulder and tilting his head a little bit.]
Your taste is still different from Cheri's, even though they're both pretty good. He can dress me up however he wants - he's my god! [APPARENTLY THAT ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE NO MATTER HOW HE FEELS ABOUT TAMAKI, that loyalty is so much] But you're my -
[erk
the word gets stuck in his throat and he looks a little embarrassed before he continues]
[Listen even if it's 100% legit you can bet he's pouting because wow? His taste and judgment are great!! Except sometimes he lets Kuranosuke dress him up, too, and somehow he always looks better for it. As it is, he's giving Antoinette a kiss on the nose before he's up on his feet in a singular fluid motion, stepping lightly to approach and hover over Senri's shoulder to look into his own closet.]
I suppose that's true. [And because he's the boyfriend here (boyfriend!! him!!) he's going to bend just a little to lean his chin against Senri's shoulder and allow his eyes to scan the confines of the closet.] To be completely honest I think you'd look good in most things. I can understand precisely why he chose you from the very beginning.
...though. [And there's a charming little smile.] I will admit there are things I would prefer to see you in.
senri is thinking about that as he doesn't move when tamaki comes closer to him, in fact welcoming and accepting the closeness. he might also reach back to try to find tamaki's hands so that he can guide his arms to wrap around senri's waist because he.... well, he can?
and also it might ease the blow of what he's about to say next:]
[Things that are cute: Senri being needy like this and obviously this means he's allowing his arms to move as Senri wishes to hold onto him, nose gently bumping into his cheek. This is nice.
Things that aren't cute: Senri being literally the worst person and from this close he can probably hear Tamaki choke and wheeze just a little because that was not what he meant.]
No! [Wait, shit.] Well, I mean, you are rather adorable in a skirt and while it wouldn't be my first choice it also wouldn't be my last. But that wasn't what I was implying at all!
[Please don't look at him he's bright red and also dying.]
[the choking and wheezing aren't attractive but luckily tamaki still is - and that's what gets senri to crack up laughing at his suffering, because senri is actually the worst boyfriend ever. so he's also 100% turning around in tamaki's arms so he can look at him, arms looping around his neck to keep him in place as he smiles
like a jerk]
No? Oops, sorry for misunderstanding. [not sorry at all] Then what were you trying to say, Tama-chin?
[Wow, it's so unfortunate that Tamaki has to break up with Senri on his birthday. That's so sad! Pour one out for Senri Nito. In all seriousness despite the fact that he's flustered he's quickly regaining composure and Tamaki allows Senri to turn in his hold.
Senri is a jerk, but at least he's a very cute jerk and it's easier for Tamaki to acknowledge he's kind of a sucker.]
Something of mine, obviously. Kura-kun has impeccable taste but you've always looked better when it's something I give you myself.
[because senri is a needy bitch and also he likes the sense of being claimed and wanted that comes with it. his eyes light up a little because they're just gross and disgusting already.]
It is my birthday. [Just pointing that out, and also making zero move to actually let Senri pull away.] Though I've always been told presents should be unwrapped and handled with care.
[It should maybe sound a little dirtier but this is Tamaki who sincerely thinks Senri is the best thing to happen in the last two months. So instead, he's moving to press his forehead to Senri's instead.] But I'm willing to listen to requests.
[he's literally about to ask but then tamaki is so much closer than he was two seconds ago and senri both doesn't want to and finds himself unable to pull away. he blinks in surprise for a moment before laughing faintly]
