[HE'S STARTLED

HE'S SHOCKED

HE DID NOT MEAN IT THAT WAY AT ALL SO IT'S JUST A FEELING OF BETRAYAL]

What did I say?!

[shiftingwinds]

[


well now she's just embarrassed that she jumped to conclusions.]

...nothing! I thought it might be fun to indulge in a water fight!

[sengokus]

Normally I'd agree to this but why are you feeling so embarrassed?! [wait] Or am I embarrassed?! Is that me?!

[NORMALLY IT'S HIM SO HE WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED BUT HE'S NOT SURE WHAT TO BE EMBARRASSED OVER THIS TIME]

[shiftingwinds]

...I don't know! This week is weird! I can't tell which feelings are mine anymore!!

[just. rapidly becoming more embarrassed.]

[sengokus]

[sqx is gaslighting mineo about his own emotions and the funniest part is that it's totally working

but he's actually getting embarrassed and confused now so it's just an embarrassed feedback loops]

I-I can't either?! But I'm sorry, I don't want you to feel embarrassed just 'cause I.... What am I even flustered over this time?!

[shiftingwinds]

[sHE'S NOT EVEN TRYING TO GASLIGHT HIM]

I - I don't know, probably because I'm flustered...?!

[sengokus]

[ ]

Why did you get flustered - did I do that?! I didn't mean to....!

[shiftingwinds]

Nothing! It was a misunderstanding! Don't worry about it...!!

[sengokus]

[HE'S STILL JUST SO STARTLED]

I.... I won't....?! I'm sorry if it's something I said!

[shiftingwinds]

You don't need to apologize! I'm the one who took it the wrong way! I'm sorry!!

[1/3]

[sengokus]

Took what the—

[sengokus]

[oh

the indulgences

now he's even more embarrassed and he's

splashing himself with the water]

I-I-I-I-I-I apologize, I wasn't implying—! Not that that's any of my business if—

[sengokus]

[




he dunks his head into the water]

[shiftingwinds]

[



yanks him out of the water]

Stop, stop, you'll drown!! Sasazuka will kill me if he thinks I've killed you!!

[sengokus]

[he's still just flustering so badly as he covers his face

though there's a little bit of - amusement and fondness when she mentions takeru?

followed by a crushing realization of disappointment]

Stop! Takeru would thank you!

[shiftingwinds]

[she gives him a little shake, as if that's going to dry him off]

No, he wouldn't!

[sengokus]

[he lets himself get shaken but he really is just dripping water at this point -

and mineo just. feels a conflicted little feeling at that like he wants to keep arguing but ultimately]

.... feels bad to even keep up the joke with you, Shi-san....

[shiftingwinds]

[


well, now she's just confused.]

...it does? Did - I do something wrong?

[do people think they can't joke with her...]

[sengokus]

[he just laughs at that - and there's some amusement coming from his end even as he shakes his head and moves to pull out his ponytail so he can wring his hair out]

No - no, I just... can't keep insisting to you that Takeru wants me dead if it'll just make you more worried.

Normally I would though... [a beat] But I'm not his pet so you don't need to feel like you have to answer to him if something happens to me?

[shiftingwinds]

...it's hard not to be worried when I hear something like that about anyone...

[especially with, uh, weekly murders? wowee.]

I - didn't think you were his pet?! But you're... [will he be offended if she calls them friends...] ...his... coworker, aren't you?

[sengokus]

[mineo shrugs and normally he'd agree but there's a general sentiment of 'yeah but we're different'

though he'll actually pause because his eyepatch is also probably wet and it's irritating. he actually will go to remove it and put it in his pants pocket then like it's no biggie, because it isn't, because a bitch has two functioning eyes. please look at how cute he is. anyway he keeps talking]

Oh, we're friends. You can call us coworkers to his face though, he probably doesn't like hearing that we're friends.

[takeru is literally the only one who takes offense at it, mineo's chillin]

Maybe he's the only one who thinks I'm his pet...

[shiftingwinds]

[oh. hm. cute. 8/10.

anyway moving on.]

Does he... actually treat you like a pet or something? That's difficult to imagine.

[sengokus]

[sqx is a 10/10 for everyone including this hetstuck man that's not news

there is. another complicated feeling at that even as mineo's expression actually doesn't seem to change.]

.... I think he's just really nice to you, Shi-san, but that makes sense, 'cause everyone should be nice to you.

[he has no idea how to say politely takeru is a little bitch to him]

[shiftingwinds]

[she's only a 9.5/10 to harrow, alas]

Um.

[...she's not sure she'd say he's especially nice to her...? she is pretty sure he thinks she's a moron, actually. but she doesn't actually say that.]

Well, it's kind of you to say so. [...] But it's more - he's very serious?

[she's trying to imagine takeru throwing a stick for mineo and being like "fetch" or something and honestly she just can't see it.]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . . . . . . an even longer pause. there is amusement coming off of mineo.]

Depends.

He has a lot of fun when he's making fun of people. [a beat] Too much fun.

[he's calling his friend an S]

So if you haven't seen that directly...

[he thinks that's good for her]
