[Matsui is here! Matsui is holding a strawberry pocky stick by the biscuit end in one hand and the box in the other! He's frowning very gently, glancing between said box and stick.]
...Strawberries are red, are they not?
[Why is this PINK. WHERE IS HIS BLOOD MOON POCKY.]
[i can't believe pixi vanished into the ether and is no longer here to protect matsui from tsuru
Anyway this is fine probably, they can add it to the list of close contact right up there with "punching" and "shoving pickled fruits at". Wow Matsui is really the one up in Tsuru's space more often isn't he, hilarious.]
I see... [He does not.] I have heard that the cherry-flavored things are the ones that are usually red, instead. Is that true?
[ he says this extremely confidently, despite the fact there is no basis whatsoever for him to be sure of this. genuinely am not sure how often he has come across anything cherry flavored. ]
[Pink... Just a shade away from success. The fake strawberry smell is very intense and his nose wrinkles just a little, not in disdain so much as "still unused to some of these basicass senses", and he turns toward the table which is now the mysterious source of all pocky in this thread like he's planning on moseying over to paw through any second.]
Do you think that they ever tire of finding new flavors for the same snacks?
[This is something he's noticed in their Trips To The Idol Past. Why are there 20 flavors of the same food in every venue.]
[BUZEN his STICKS. Matsui will allow this with loving tolerance because unfortunately, Buzen is the favorite.]
Is the flavor worthwhile, at least?
[Clearly it can't be as good as this theoretical red cherry flavor that may or may not exist, but!! Anyway does he now just have the tragic biscuit half left in his hand help. He'll give it to bear Itsuki.]
[The way that Buzen is the most boyfriend-shaped and yet also the most wholeass oblivious... Matsui hesitates only because it's Pink And Not Red, but eventually leans in to take a lil chomp.]
--Ah. [SOME SURPRISE as he leans back and chews thoughtfully.] ...The strawberry flavor is strong, isn't it?
[the bear droops a little at being such a disappointment, sorry matsui....
then it opens its mouth bear jaw to show off its hopefully red tongue. it's not red it's like a pink but itsuki doesn't know that bc he doesn't look inside his own bear mouth]
Anyway, Matsui takes this in stride because there is very little that rattles this fucking alien. Bear cursed to become human by pocky? Human de-cursed from bear, also by pocky?? Who knows! He sure doesn't. He also doesn't seem worried that Itsuki may be choking.]
Were you not opening your mouth because you were hungry? I have more, if that wasn't enough.
[which now that he thinks about it is so stupid of him to do? still, itsuki is big fond of matsui the goth alien and is also a people pleaser at heart. he just wants to make people happy.]
But I guess I can see why you thought I was hungry...

Although I'm not sure if they make cherry pocky.
no subject
He just sighs at that, though, before he extends his hand with the pocky box toward Tsurumaru.]
Then I will look for this cherry pocky instead. Would you care for these?
no subject
I am sure there has to be some. Humans are quite creative with these things.

[ where is the surprise in that? even your favorite sake might get boring, after a while, if you get too used to its tastes on your lips.
... he makes a mental note to look for funky sake flavors later... ]

[since if matsui is just holding onto that stick on the biscuit end
buzen will just
chomp down on the other end]

You try.
[and buzen will just pluck another full stick from the box and then offer it out to matsui, just. feeding him?
you know, returning the favor for his good bro pal and all :) ]

there's a poof of smoke as itsuki returns to human form, coughing from both smoke and from the pocky stick that's like caught in his throat]
What was that for...

The inside of your bear mouth is not red, either.
[As a consolation, he holds out the pocky box for Itsuki anyway, even though he isn't hungry.]
