[usogi]

[senri will take the hug!]

... but....?

[divus]

Never you mind. Let's just celebrate for today. It's one problem solved and it will make the next week easier.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri shakes his head a little.]

No, it's...

[ . . . ]

I want to - but will you promise to tell me what it is later?

[divus]

When have I ever broken a promise to you?

[usogi]

.... I don't know, but I think you have to hide things from me.

And I wanna know... because I think something's bothering you.

[divus]

...the trial proceedings went rather well, but things have changed that I'm a bit unhappy with. That's all.

[usogi]

[ . . . . ]

Will you be safe next week? Does Mizuki-san have to go somewhere? Your other follower?

[divus]

It's just Mizuki-san and I now....I'll be speaking with them later to discuss a new strategy to keep them safe.

[usogi]

[ . . . . . . ]

I'll join your team.

[he says the words so fast, so immediately,]

I'll do it.

[divus]

I worry about Sincerity as well. I would prefer that you stay with him to keep hims safe and...I'll find someone to join me at the last minute. Mizuki-san may have an idea as well.

[usogi]

I'm going to ask Jude-kun what he's going to do - but I can make something work. I can do my best. I'll ask people that I know and....

[sorry he's panicking a little,,]

Don't make Mizuki-san leave you.

[divus]

I would never make them leave me. Why would I?

[usogi]

Because you'd protect them before you'd protect yourself.

[his brow furrows]

So you can't. I'll never forgive you if that's what you choose.

[divus]

[A frown, but he can't deny that.] ...Mizuki-san would not forgive me either, I believe. So please don't worry about that. I won't let them get killed either though.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri nods.]

I understand. I'm... I'll see what Cheri's numbers might look like. If he needs me, I'll go there -

But... ah, you'll let me know if you need me, right? If there's anything I can do for you....

[divus]

...of course I will. I trust you very much. You understand, don't you?

[usogi]

[ . . . . and senri just sighs]

I want to.

I don't... I've avoided joining you because I don't ever want to put you in a position where, if we get really unlucky, you have to choose between me and Mizuki-san.

But I'm... worried.

[divus]

I know. But...it'll be alright. Mizuki-san and I will find a way to change things.

[...they're still hugging, aren't they.]

...but that isn't why you came to see me, is it? So let's rest for now. You've had a grueling day.

[usogi]

[ . . . pouts.]

I don't want to celebrate anymore until I find out what's going to happen to you, and if you need me to do anything.

[divus]

Okay, but what if I want to celebrate? [He's going to try flirting his way out of this again, excuse him. His hand's just sliding down a little to the midback again, holding Senri carefully.]

That sounds more fun for now.

[usogi]

[ . . . hmmmph.

senri pauses - and sighs.]

Let's go to the beach?

[divus]

Wait what? Now?

[usogi]

It's so far from Tokyo! You want to celebrate with me? Let's go steal some snacks from the kitchen and then go to the beach.

[divus]

...alright, alright. I suppose we've both earn it, haven't we? We can go for a short time. I believe everyone else is preoccupied anyway.

[usogi]

[doesn't wait for a tamaki icon

because senri is super happy as he's just going to pull back if only just to take tamaki's hands]

Then let's do that.

If I take you away, you can't answer any other offerings you might get to steal you from me.

[LITTLE SHIT]
