[Maybe don't has Tamaki about Haruhi unless you want him to ramble for twenty years about how wonderful she is. Nevertheless, he's nodding along and falling right back into their game of pretend even as he's watching the film.]
Commutes aren't so bad, I think. If we had a place in a rural little town just outside of a large city. It would be the best of both worlds, being able to explore both as we wished. I don't think I could ever truly live the city myself. There's too much there that I love to leave it all behind, but every now and then is alright. I wouldn't mind living on the beach either. We could fish and collect crabs and shells.
And then in the city there's the shopping and the urban life that constantly changes. I would never deprive anyone of that.
[ . . . senri thinks it's a little unfair. how easily he can believe this - but there's something that twists in his chest. because taka is his future. he knows entirely that taka is his future, and that's reality. not even in a harsh way, or a disappointing way. it's a reality that he's looking forward to, one that he wants more than anything.
it's just unfair how sweet a life with tamaki sounds too.]
It'd probably be a Western-type of place, right? Or would you want something more traditionally Japanese? I'd almost prefer a place on the beach - I guess I could just get a hotel space when I'm performing for a show, and you'd just be stuck staying with me wherever that might be. I'd get disheartened if you weren't in front row at least every few nights.
Yes. The second estate has a Western design as did the mansion in Paris. I wouldn't mind something traditional but I've heard it's a bit impractical the way I've imagined it. What makes you think I wouldn't be there every night? A new performance every day…I want to see them all.
[The way he speaks makes it sound as though it's really reality, even though they both know better. In another life…it'd be nice, wouldn't it?]
... do I even want to know what your impractical traditional house looks like - no, we can take a Western one. I'd prefer that, I think. I've never gotten to stay in one before the one in your wing. It's luxurious... [and he just sighs even as the movie plays - and they go through another day with mitsuha, but this time where she's in her own body. senri smiles a little bit
it's hard to say if it's at tamaki's words or the movie]
... I'll save a seat for you every night, then. And I like getting bouquets - my favorite flowers are yellow camellias.
Kotatsu. [This still explains nothing other than Tamaki's a fucking idiot.] Western is easy and more spacious! The mansion in my wing was the second Suoh estate...it's where I used to live before the ascension. If that's something you liked, it would be easy to recreate.
[He's watching the film and he's a little confused still, but here we are.] Yellow's a beautiful color. The girls' uniforms at Ouran are yellow. [Where'd that come from...] I'll remember that. But what would you do with all of the bouquets? Seven in a week, where would you put them all? We'd have to have a room strictly for the flowers. A greenhouse?
Just your wing... Well, if you like enough to have wanted it here, then I like it enough to try it again. I think that it's really pretty. We can put a kotatsu in there anyway, when it starts to get colder. We'll figure some way to make it work.
[but senri will just listen, and he wonders how much tamaki really misses his old life. a lot, apparently.]
Would you bring me a bouquet every time...? Maybe just one flower every performance, so I get a whole bouquet by the end of a run. [ . . . ] And you can't... replant bouquet flowers in a greenhouse like that, Tama-chin.
I believe that. [He and Senri are enough alike he thinks they really could make it work.]
Every single time. Then you could have dozens of bouquets. [Rich people have no sense, but he blinks in surprise as he considers this.] Ah. Then we'll have a greenhouse to grow other things. New flowers then.
I don't need dozens of bouquets... [this is. so dumb. it's actually making senri laugh] You know you don't need to spoil me that much, right? I mean - I like it, of course... but please try some practicality.
I'd be happy as long as you were there.
[please let tamaki get distracted by the shrine dance scene and how pretty it is instead of this embarrassing au,,]
He's my best friend - I've been taking a lot of pictures for Ray-kun, but I've been taking twice as many for Yumapi! [HE'S SO HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT HIM,,] Yumapi is a manga artist, so he likes references for a lot of different things. I should take more pictures of An-chan for him, even...
He's really sweet. He's from out in the countryside somewhere? I don't know much about his hometown - he's even more of a commoner than I am, since he's not from Tokyo.
Right? He's super impressive! He's been keeping up his publishing for years now, even though he's only fifteen. Isn't that amazing?
[BIG LOVE!!!]
I met him on the first day and we've been attached at the hip ever since. Yumapi is a very sweet person who's always trying his best - and it's nice to have someone else who's just as confused by the upper-class.
Haruhi used to complain about us, too. I understand it's difficult. [Even though his lifestyle is fine, thanks.] We were just as confused about middle-class.
senri at least manages to look a little sheepish to be caught complaining about rich people in front of tamaki... but he'll just cuddle more against him. it's probably just from a subconscious desire to be closer, but also like. he's cute, don't be mad at him?]
Well.. I suppose it's fine as long as you're learning and trying to understand what we go through.
[It's fine, it's fine. Cuddling and popcorn and a movie and yeah, this is A+, thanks.]
Haruhi wouldn't let us visit her house for a long time. Or go to the supermarket with her. Or anything like that. [Haruhi was really smart.] But over time we got her to agree and we've been learning since. Sometimes it's like a whole other language I can't understand, but she seems to handle poverty with grace. [It's not poverty you stupid fuck. He's also grinning which means he's not entiiiirely serious.]
[senri will hum thoughtfully as he feeds himself another piece of popcorn and continues to watch the movie. mitsuha complains about how she wants to live a life as a cute tokyo boy, and they cut the scene to a young man waking in an apartment, also confused]
I think it's a little sad, and there's not much to it - but I guess if you think it's interesting then it's not that bad.
