[divus]

[He'll let that happen even as he sort of just stares at Senri again.]

What makes you think you haven't made me happy in the first place?

[usogi]

... I don't know how to make you happy without making you sad at the same time.

[because -

they still can't be together.

and it hurts senri too, but at least he has a way to bandaid it with someone that he can have.]

[divus]

The sadness isn't your fault, you realize. And I'm happy when I get to see you and spend time with you.

[usogi]

[ . . . it's still a little hard to reconcile.

but feelings are complicated, and senri can't even bring himself to disagree. there's no way to solve this, because there's nothing they can do about it. there's nothing they should do about it, because there's nothing possible that won't hurt someone else who doesn't ever deserve to be hurt.

senri will shift so that he can hug tamaki - around the middle, because his arms can't lift high enough to go back around his shoulders again]

.... okay.

Then - I'll be happy with that too, and try to not feel guilty.

[ . . . ]

I really like when you take care of me... maybe a little too much.

[divus]

[Oh. He looks down at Senri for a moment before the action is carefully reciprocated as to not aggravate the injuries.]

Is it possible to like something like this too much? I really don't know. But I think the world could do with a little less loneliness and more people taking care of each other.

[Every day Tamaki misses his hosts a lot. If he can't do what he used to be good at, he can try to be the princely type here.]

[usogi]

[senri thinks it's possible. it's very possible when his heart aches and he knows very much and very clearly he'd like tamaki to take care of him even more - and he believes in another reality where maybe he can.

but that's not this one.]

As long as you promise to leave some room for me to try to return the favor.

[divus]

Of course I will. We still have time together, don't we? We'll have to make every day count.

[Even if it hurts some days. It's better than doing nothing at all.]

[usogi]

.... mm-hmm.

[and he'll pull back then, expression settled into a smile as he tries to lift the mood again]

Injury aside - I feel pretty lucky that I got both you and Cheri to dress me up today.

[even though thanks to the height difference tamaki and senri are definitely not the same size in clothes? he's definitely rocking the stolen from his not!boyfriend's closet look]

[divus]

While he did a better job making you cute, I think I like this look better. [A hand comes up to fruitlessly tug at the collar of the stolen shirt. He's also teasing again for the same reason. Lift the mood, ignore the sad.]

[usogi]

Are you sure? I liked when a skirt managed to make you speechless.

Maybe the prince is a little bit of a pervert too.

[really like how to avoid their star-crossed lovers situation they swerve hard into teasing because that's not confusing]

[divus]

I am not a pervert!! [A DRAMATIC POINT.] Take that back!

[How rude????] And you like that the skirt got a reaction anyway!

[usogi]

I just like it when you tell me I'm cute, I've never made that a secret. That has nothing to do with being lewd, Your Highness.

[he'll finally start buttoning up Tamaki's shirt that he's borrowing?? he looks smug about it. why.]

You, however....

[divus]

I am not lewd! [AHHHH. But oh, okay, that's fine. Senri can button up the shirt and Tamaki's aware that he's probably never seeing it ever again. Oh well, it's fine.]

I can just appreciate the visual appeal.

[usogi]

[senri grins and raises a brow slowly and silently

as if to question

what part of that isn't lewd]

[divus]

[He pushes at Senri's face.] Stop that.

[usogi]

[he's laughing easily - and he has to refrain from turning his face to kiss tamaki's palm. it's a very close thing. he finishes buttoning up the shirt and offers up a grin]

It's okay, Tama-chin. Your secret will be safe with me.

[divus]

[THIS RUDE SHIT!!]

There is no secret because I'm not a pervert! Sen-chan's so mean to me...

[usogi]

[and senri will just hum a totally innocent note at that]

I try to be the nicest to you too - so it evens out, doesn't it?

[DOES IT]

[divus]

Do we need to have a discussion of what counts as nice?

[Damn tease. This is his bit, don't steal it and use it on him!!]

[usogi]

We could...

[but he sings that vaguely as he gets up, turning to offer his hands to tamaki to help him into standing]

But does Tama-chin think I'm not nice? That hurts a little....

[divus]

[He'll take Senri's hands =\]

You make this very difficult, you realize. [Not flirting back, he means.]

[usogi]

[senri just laughs as he pulls tamaki back toward his room]

I didn't mean to....

It's just fun to play with you.

[as long as they remember it's just play,,]

[divus]

[And he follows like an idiot, hand in hand and leaving Senri's clothes on the bathroom floor.]

It's better when it's reversed, I think. This is usually the role I play.

[usogi]

[he'll get those later?? it's fine.]

Lots of practice, huh? Well that makes it extra unfair when you get a chance to retaliate then.

[he's good at getting senri's heart to race and it's bad :/ ]

[divus]

There is a reason my request rate is 70%. [Thanks for that information, Kyoya.]
