[ Huff. ]

No, I didn't know then. But I wanted to figure it out. [ He does not have the self-awareness to know completely where his heart lies, but he is good at following his instincts. ]

[perspire]

[ lets out his own huff of laughter as he squeezes his hand ]

Then, we can figure it out. We can figure everything out.

Gonna leave that up to you for now, just tell me where to drive. [ Today has been so long? He doesn't really wanna think anymore and he can't think anymore really. ]

Can we talk about something simple? Like who the hell was throwing rocks and t-shirts?

[perspire]

--I asked for a rock to be given to you.

Gently.

[bloodread]

...I figured. Tsuru would have just given me those stupid eyes.

[perspire]

I also asked for a rock to be thrown at Sholmes and-- it felt wrong to send something to the living without sending something to you.

[ a beat ]

I... considered a flower. But that felt like too much.

1/2

[bloodread]

Why him?

[bloodread]

[ Wait, what. ]

I'd have fucking killed you. Again. [ But perhaps it would have been worth it since he's flushed once more. ]

[perspire]

[ laughs more honestly at that ]

Maybe I should have, if you look like that.

But it was just something fun, for calling me forty-years-old when I was alive.

[ The hair clip was enough! ]

I can kick your ass and hold your hand at the same time.

[perspire]

Is that a promise?

[bloodread]

...yeah, sure. There's gotta be a one armed styles of fighting. [ He will Research this, the only time he bothers to read a book. ]

[perspire]

It’ll be fun to learn.

[ ok. you know what?

leans in to kiss him now ]

[bloodread]

Who said—[ Ah, suddenly his lips are occupied. He kisses back of course even if he squeezes Bertolt's hand hard for that. ]

[perspire]

[ cuts off tsun with kissing success???

but bertl is glad that akira is kissing back and he’s squeezing back just as hard on his hand ]

[bloodread]

[ He pulls away after with a huff. ]

That wasn't a surprise. [ It totally was. ]

[perspire]

I’ll just need to do it again then.

[bloodread]

...what the hell are we doing? [ Soft and a bit incredulous, but not at all unhappy. ]

[perspire]

I don’t know, to be honest. [ being regular-ish teens?? ]

You… make me feel really comfortable. I like this. A lot.

[bloodread]

[ What a concept. ]

That's a first. Pretty sure I make most people uncomfortable in one way or another.

[perspire]

I’m not most people.

[bloodread]

Yeah, I know. That's why I...like you.

So tell me more.

[perspire]

—The graveyard all knew about my feelings for you.

[bloodread]

[ Why are we starting here!!! There goes nagako doing her best to hide under them both. ]

What.

[perspire]

They’re nosy and when I got your letters I’d just… react and they really had nothing better to do but just keep asking questions to get me to react.

And then there was the time we played Hot or Not…
