[ . . . and senri just sighs. he places his fork down and seems to think about a way to phrase it. he adjusts how he sits on the bed, pulling one knee up to his chest as he rests his chin on it and thinks]
... Mizuki-san cares about you a lot. It makes me really happy. I've been really grateful, that they've been able to stay with you the entire game while I couldn't.
[ . . . ]
A kiss on the forehead is nothing. You do that to me all the time - [well, maybe it's not nothing. it seems to only hit senri in that second that that's a possibility as he pauses.]
... anyway, it's not really my place to be bothered by that. And I don't know if I'm bothered so much as... I was the one who said 'whoever gets to have you'....
It did remind me that things just aren't going to work out between us - which... I knew... but...
[Oh. That's not what he expected at all and he goes quiet as he listens to Senri. A kiss on the forehead maybe doesn't mean anything from Mizuki, or maybe it does, he doesn't actually know now, but it's strange to think Senri would be bothered by such a thing when he has Taka.
...then again...]
...another life, Senri. [It's what he says first.] It's harder to think about this one when we know what the possibility could be, I guess. Anyway you know Mizuki-san is perfectly happy with Majima-san. [...] ...I'm afraid to say it but I don't anticipate those feelings leaving for quite some time.
.... I'm sorry, that's why I didn't want to say anything. We... can't do anything as things are now.... but I didn't want you to think that I was mad at you for something that I wasn't. It's just...
Me being dumb and reckless, I guess...
[and he shakes his head]
... I want you to be happy more than anything else.
No, it's alright. I'd rather it be said than not because I don't want to actually upset you about anything else.
...I'm happy, you know. It's possible for someone to be happy and sad at the same time, but I am happy. I'm happy because you've come to see me, I'm happy that you saved me, and I'm happy that we've met. Why wouldn't I be?
... anything you do - I could never stay mad at you anyway.
[if he's being entirely honest, and he gives tamaki a soft smile, even though it doesn't manage to reach his eyes. there's still something sad lingering]

Admittedly...I dread tomorrow a bit.
