[senri hums thoughtfully at the explanation of the rich people lifestyle - and thinks about how hard it must be to break into that society and he laughs a little - ]
... maybe Tamaki and I have more in common than I thought, no matter how different our lifestyles are. I like that thought a lot.
[he's still gay, bitch! but he'll think about the.... dorm question.... and sigh a little]
That's what I thought too... but Bakaomi's my roommate back in the dorm, and everyone who lives with us is really wild. I've tried to transfer a few times to the White Dorm, but the dorm head always wants to keep me so I never actually get to....
[He beams a little because he likes finding commonalities in people. It makes him feel at ease to be able to connect somehow, and the only response Senri gets to that is a tiny bit of a tighter grip to his hand.
Granted, then Senri mentions that little factoid and Tamaki's not sure what to do with it. He's not jealous. He knows that, but what is this...uncertainty. Maybe it's just assurance that he made the right choice in letter Senri go with Takaomi rather than himself and waiting around to figure out what all of that meant. Still, there's a pleasant little smile as he thinks on that.]
Ah, I see...this is why he's protective of you. [A sage nod.] In that case there must be something extraordinary about you that the Black Dorm admires. They're lucky to have you, I think.
[sure that's one word for it. senri thinks about that briefly and he's about to say something - when he seems to get distracted now that they've made it to the carnival itself. his expression lights as he sees the stalls of food, dishes in every color of the rainbow, and his expression lights up as he lightly pulls on tamaki's hand to join him in that direction.]
Oh! Let's start here? What should we get first? Everyone looks so good...!
[senri might be eyeing some cotton candy for a second - but he's also going to look back at tamaki expectantly, letting him choose first]
[He's fine with shelving the topic of Takaomi for now and instead he looks up. It's still an amazing feat that his mask hasn't slapped him in the face again and without it, it's easy to see how enthralled he is by all of the sights and sounds. He falls into step with Senri, head turning this way and that and trying to figure out what he wants first before--]
It's so pink...[Guess who else spotted the cotton candy. Tamaki's eyes flicker between the cotton candy and funnel cakes, his free hand coming up to his chin to think for a moment.] Something soft or something sweet?
[They're both sugary as fuck, but whatever.] I like that one. [He nods toward the cotton candy, but it's also because there's pink and there's blue. Guess what color he's after.]
If we're sharing, then we can get both, right? Ah, my sweet tooth is definitely gonna ache.
[Senri will laugh a little bit at that, immediately reaching out to get some of the pink cotton candy from the vendor. it's a favorite for him to be honest?? he'll free his hand from tamaki's just so that he can also grab napkins.... but also take a puff of the cotton candy and pull it away from the rest of the stick, holding it up to tamaki's mouth for him to eat because senri knows no shame or boundaries]
[Oh, okay. For a moment he blinks in surprise at the fact that Senri's holding cotton candy to his face, but there're stars in his eyes all the same as he remembers this is just a dream. This is just a dream and they can do whatever they want which is why Tamaki bends his head down enough to just kind of. Close around Senri's fingers and take the cotton candy? I hate this so much.
He pulls back with a grin though.] It's soft and sweet...this is surprisingly delicious! [Whether that's because he hasn't had a lot of cotton candy or because he's surprised Disorder didn't poison it we just don't know. On the other hand he's just going to use his free hand and pull off another hunk of the sugary fluff to mimic the motion. Monkey see, monkey do.]
[VICTORY FOR SENRI. because he doesn't mind at all?? he smiles at tamaki's response and laughs a little bit - ]
I'm glad you like it - I was worried it wouldn't be up to your palate.
[YOU KNOW. RICH PEOPLE. But also once Tamaki pulls off some more of the cotton candy, Senri is just going to. Watch?
and once enough fluff is pulled from the stick, he's going to open his mouth expectantly because senri is a gay fool who wants to be spoiled just as much as he wants to spoil other people]
[His palate is fine, and he's popping the bit of fluff into Senri's mouth before grinning brightly, allowing him to chew while he fills in some details.]
Fuyumi-san and I were starting to create a map of places to go and try commoners' food. I want to taste it all. This is a good start though even if it's not home.
[Tamaki may also be forgetting he's a god and he's not going home, but that's alright.]
[if tamaki is forgetting then senri sure as shit isn't going to remind him? this is a dream - so that means they're only doing cute, fun things. and senri laughs a little bit at that even as he licks his lips to get the last of the sugar from the cotton candy.]
Then I'm happy to give you a head start.
[and senri will pull apart another piece of the cotton candy, reaching up as if to offer it to tamaki -
but if he leans again then he's going to turn around and put it in his own mouth
[That sentiment is really sweet and then Senri sucks and Tamaki yells, their joined hands flailing a bit.]
Hey, that was mine! [RUDE?? He's going to just lean forward and take a bite directly from the stick itself since that's clearly the way to do this. Don't change the rules on him!!]
[tamaki please you are like half a foot taller than him and pouting so hard - but he's laughing faintly even as he just affectionately bumps into tamaki's side]
[he's so pretty and it is so rude and senri thinks he should tease him again as punishment for being gorgeous!
but instead he doesn't even lean back even though like. he should. he really should. there's a little hum.]
You're very right. No matter how much I liked the expression you made, it was very ungentlemanly of me. And I should give you something else in exchange.
[and he tilts his chin up until they're nose to nose and -
lifts up the cotton candy to press against tamaki's lips again because nito senri fears no god i guess]
[They should maybe consider that someone else likes Senri very much but...one date. Just pretend. And Tamaki doesn't seem to mind at all, letting Senri tilt his head up before the cotton candy appears.
He'll just bite down on it before he blanches just a bit.]
It's so sticky...[Ugh. But he pushes the cotton candy back toward Senri's face instead.] I don't think I could finish one of these on my own if I wanted to. But it's very fitting. Can we see what else is available?
[He's just excited to keep exploring tbh and yet he hasn't stepped out of Senri's personal bubble yet.]
[senri's laughing.... and he'll look up at tamaki even as he takes a bite of the cotton candy himself, letting it dissolve in his mouth as he hums thoughtfully. though he'll also like. temporarily let go of tamaki's hand just to offer one of the napkins he picked up because i guess he saw this coming]
Sure, what else do you want to try?
[he'll wait for tamaki to back up first also, because senri likes the flirting... how awful]
[At least one of them has a braincell. Tamaki's taking the napkin and scrubbing at his hands to eliminate the stickiness. He doesn't do anything to back away and he's still wearing a suit so he can't shove the napkin into his pocket. It goes into a free hand and he hums in thought.]
Something warm. We could continue walking and see what looks interesting. Isn't that why we're here? [Exploring.]
[please toss it into the nearest trash can tamaki?? but senri will laugh a little bit at that, and as soon as his hand is free, he's going to place it right back into tamaki's, intertwining their fingers again.
he'll look around and think about what to get next, lighting pulling tamaki along again until the other finds something that catches his eye....]
Mm-hmm. We're taking the curious younger master out on a field trip.
[As they walk the napkin's tossed into the trash and he holds onto Senri's hand anyway.]
We used to go on trips like this to try and understand Haruhi's world a little better. [It's what he says first, still allowing himself to look around and getting distracted by flashing lights.] Markets and little inns and things. One summer she was working so we went to visit and tried to work to stay with her, too. Sometimes she lets us come to the supermarket, too.
[He's pausing to look at what looks like a chili dog but that's disgusting and also he's wearing white, no thanks. Moving on...] I didn't get to do things like this often before moving to Japan.
[It was hard the first time to explain everything to Haruhi, but she deserved the truth. Senri, too, deserves the truth after he's been truthful. It's private and something he still finds himself unsure of, but he speaks anyway.]
I didn't have many friends growing up. ...my mother was very sick, so I didn't stay outside to play often so that I could be with her instead. Some days when she was feeling well, we would play together or have a picnic outside, but many times she was too ill to be out of bed.
[ . . . . senri thinks about it sometimes. how he wants a family more than anything else in his life, how he craves the affection, the very idea that someone could love him unconditionally. but he never thinks about the difficulties of family - the struggles that might come with having someone related to you by blood suffer. and he gently squeezes tamaki's hand at that.]
.... I'm sure she loved to spend those days with you.
It's really sweet - that you made sure to make time for her.
[That's fine, he'll accept a hand-squeeze as he thinks of what else to say. Perhaps it isn't fair to tell Senri all of this, but...he trusts him enough.]
She used to try and encourage me to go outside more often, but it didn't make sense. So instead, she just wanted me to be happy. [...um.] I used to play music for her. That's part of the reason I learned as much as I did. She used to teach me, too. Things are different now though. I used to only see my father a few times a year, but now I see him much more.
