Paris...she would, of course. [He's sitting up, rubbing at his eyes a little as he processes that. Antoinette licks Senri's face again since it's there.]
[senri,, but he'll move so that he'll just sit on the bed then, if he'll be waiting for a little bit. though when he glances over he'll find the album and pause - ]
Hm? Oh. Sure, I suppose. [Antoinette sprawls on Senri's lap while Tamaki gets up, mumbling to himself in thought as he rummages through the closet to to and get dressed.] I'll be right back.
[That just means Senri's left with a photo album filled with a bunch of pictures of the Host Club and a few of himself and his mother and a few of his father. Have fun with that, he's not going to explain why the album's out unless he's asked. It's a bunch of pictures on campus, of the club in costumes, beach trips, vacations, pretty much everything you could think of. The pictures of his mother stop around when Tamaki's thirteen. There aren't many of his father, but a few. It's easier to see that Tamaki's looks are mostly after his mother in this case.
[ . . . . that is a lot of pictures. and senri is pretty glad that antoinette is sprawled on his lap so that he can just press his face into her fur and pet her idly as he just. flips through all the pictures. tamaki might hear some soft commentary -
at the costumes:] What theme is this... Shinsengumi...? An-chan, do you know anything about history?
[vacations:] Ahh, pretty... I've never been there before...
[beach trips:] So youthful...! Cute...
[though he'll linger on the picture of tamaki's mother, senri softly tracing the photo with his hand as he whispers to antoinette:] ... they're both beautiful... Some people are so blessed, An-chan...
[and he'll
keep flipping until he reaches the end or tamaki comes back, keeping up the commentary train every few pictures]
[Antoinette woofs a little because no, she doesn't know jack shit about history, but it's fine. She's here for Senri's commentary. There's also definitely pictures of An-chan as a puppy, and the second Suoh estate. Tamaki's in his bathroom getting dressed and making himself presentable that by the time he comes out Senri's hit the end.
He's immaculate as always and it looks like he absolutely wasn't napping less than five minutes ago? He's in an outfit similar to this but there's a white rose boutonniere pinned to the lapel that looks brand new.]
Shall we? [A smile, and he's also offering Senri a hand to pull him up.]
that's honestly really close to leaving senri's mouth but he doesn't because he has some sense of restraint. he'll take tamaki's hand and let himself be pulled up but also]
... Tama-chin, I have a secret to share with you. Would you mind bending down a little bit for me, please?
senri leans in as if he's going to whisper a secret in tamaki's ear, but actually he lifts his arms to instead just wrap them around tamaki in a hug now that he's closer to senri's level]
... sorry, I told a white lie.
Were you feeling nostalgic again?
[a TRICK]
I'm wondering if there's something you're not telling me, because you don't want me to worry... but I'm already a little worried.
[Oh. Okay. He'll just...return the hug? Sure. Even if that was a trick!!!]
Ah? Someone asked for a favor in exchange for something else. The photo album acts as a bit of a catalyst, really, so that I could create something. I haven't looked through it in some time...lovely, aren't they?
[But since Senri's here he'll just kiss the top of his head briefly.] You're worrying about nothing. I'm alright.
[sdflkjsdflkjsdf senri flusters briefly - if only because he didn't expect a kiss in exchange for tricking tamaki, what the fuck. so he'll press his face in tamaki's shoulder so that he can hide whatever red might be coloring his cheeks but]
... are you sure...?
You seem tired. No one can blame you, given everything but... the last time you seemed this tired was Saturday.
...it's not appropriate, Senri. [Whatever that means, but he's also still hugging him for the time being.] It's alright, it's just been a long week is all.
Shishimaru-kun told me what happened this week. And Sasuke-kun said it was resolved. You'll have to forgive me for not entirely taking him at his word.
[because taka told senri not to even try to return sasuke's feelings, because he didn't want to share his boyfriend. and senri isn't about to go against that, or try anything else when it means he runs the risk of upsetting the person he loves.
. . . ]
He said... I led him on, and I bullied Taka into admitting that he liked me... but he forgives me...?
Ah, it's okay... He's probably right - not that I did any of it on purpose but... I don't really... [have a reference on what love looks like] I've never...
[had someone love me before.
ugh he can't find the words he wants, or coax them out of his mouth
but he'll reach up to cup tamaki's cheek anyway]
What is this about, Tamaki...? Is it really Sasuke..?

No - I'm sure we'll be fine, Tama-chin.
[a pause and]
... can I join you?
[if tamaki isn't going to get up]
no subject
...so he sits up a little.]
We can go to the wings. I'm awake. It might be nice to go out.
no subject
Okay... if that's what you want.
Bambi gave us Paris... so I thought it'd be fitting if we went together, if you wouldn't mind going with me.
no subject
What's over there? In Paris. [In the wing.]
no subject
Um - a hotel! It has a bunch of different floors. I thought it might be fun for us to go to the boutique maybe?
no subject
[Does he care? No, but he's being polite by pretending to ask.]
no subject
[senri,, but he'll move so that he'll just sit on the bed then, if he'll be waiting for a little bit. though when he glances over he'll find the album and pause - ]
Oh... Are these pictures? Can I see?

We said - we'd try to be honest, right...? I don't think this is the same as a white lie...
[he's getting MORE WORRIED]
Is there something I can do...?

... with who...?
[help,,]
no subject
no subject
[that's not where he expected this to go at all]
... as much as I could....
I think he's still going to come back with us, but... Mm.
Why do you ask?
[tamaki is a saint and a prince but senri is pretty sure that he didn't go full depresscito because sasuke got turned down]
no subject
[You're correct, sort of, Senri.]
no subject
[because taka told senri not to even try to return sasuke's feelings, because he didn't want to share his boyfriend. and senri isn't about to go against that, or try anything else when it means he runs the risk of upsetting the person he loves.

[is that what tamaki means?]
no subject
He'll come to understand his feelings well enough with time. But until then, he has no right to be saying such things.
no subject
senri is so confused]
Ah, it's okay... He's probably right - not that I did any of it on purpose but... I don't really... [have a reference on what love looks like] I've never...
[had someone love me before.
