--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…

[bloodread]

It's none of their business.

[ His penchant for privacy... ]

You played that stupid game too?

[perspire]

I didn’t have much else to do.

[bloodread]

[ He's squeezing Bertolt's hand, he is not judging you he is judging everyone else. ]

Flat was annoying during it, but at least no one tried to ask me to actually play.
