[He laughs but like. He can't discount that? Also he's at least grown enough sense to realize saying "yes I'm rich" isn't always great.] No roommates? [But why not?] Isn't that lonely...?
[Thank you for not judging, but he's facing Mizuki with wide eyes and a hint of curiosity. Strangely he's also just bypassing the idea of having everything he could ever want because he's not in the mood to lie to Mizuki. That's not in his nature, but he also doesn't want to explain things that aren't relevant to them either.]
No...? Do you know how small an apartment in the city is where I'm from? We'd be practically sleeping on top of each other.
[ They're not surprised that he evaded that subtle question; they're also not planning to let it go just yet, either. They're curious about how a rich boy turns into a god. Money can't buy everything. And they consider evading his question about loneliness and leaving it at that, as well, but they can't say no to those big eyes. Mizuki takes a spoonful of their float before throwing him a bone. ]
I'm not seeing anyone, and my family situation is somewhat complicated, so I'm on my own. I guess it's lonely, once in a while...
I've only been to one apartment and while it was rather cramped it still held two people. [Hm..what a strange thought, a place that small. It gives him something to think on even as he sets the glass down again, cushioning it with his pinky so it doesn't make a clunky noise on the countertop.]
Ah, I see...[He looks troubled suddenly, lips threatening to form into a pout at the thought of Mizuki-san alone.] The second estate is a bit lonely sometimes, but the servants are nice and come by often. Being by yourself without others to share your evenings with...[He shakes his head.] It's hard to believe you would be alone.
[Mizuki-san is great, who the hell wouldn't date Mizuki-san!? Huff.] Do you wish to change that someday?
[ that gets him a bit of a gentler smile. He really is sweet. ]
Of course. I like being around people, you know? But for now, I need to focus on stopping things like this - or the Otherworld Broadcast, rather. You already know about that, though.
[ it is... strangely liberating to be able to talk about it freely. Still, Mizuki idly wonders if Tamaki is aware of just how far they were willing to go to put a stop to that. How they were willing to - planning to, even - sacrifice themself and all the other actors just to stop it from ever happening again.
Probably not, they think. If he knew, he'd probably not fawn over them the way he does. But they still grin at him and continue and pretend that's not the case. ]
Why? Are you interested in filling that position, Tamaki-kun?
[ mizuki will NOT stop because tamaki reacts like this and they think it's precious!! ]
Oh my. Aren't you overestimating me a little? I think that should probably be the other way around.
[ he's the god, after all... and he's the one with nice ideals and a good heart. They're here because they wanted to use him. It's pure chance that they ended up liking him in a genuine way - they're well aware of that. ]
I hardly think I'm overestimating. [Back to being a little flirty? Sure.] I did choose you, didn't I? There were things I saw in you that I wanted to explore more and get to know.
I'll have to see for myself, won't I? Now that we can see each other like this, think of the possibilities! [It's exciting, isn't it? Being able to be face to face and the like.] I have impeccable taste and I know this was meant to be.
[His eyes widen just a little though.] ...truthfully, I wasn't sure how you would feel once you saw me and spoke with me. But I'm grateful to still be by your side.
[ cheerfully: ] To be honest, I was ready to fight you with everything I had when I first saw you. I still don't believe there's any reason good enough to excuse what you've done to us, whether we "agreed" or not. But...
[ they smile over at him, a little more serious. ]
... Well. Even if I can't excuse what happened, I think I can forgive Tamaki-kun. You won my heart over. Ah, it's kind of embarrassing to admit.
That would have been a show, wouldn't it? [Don't sound so happy about that Tamaki, shut up.] But your forgive means a lot to me.
[They're playing the same game and this time Tamaki doesn't seem to mind much, leaning forward with a slight grin.] In any case, then, your heart is what I will cherish and protect with my own life.

[Nevertheless, that doesn't stop them from suddenly becoming flustered by those words and it's worse because he doesn't have a mask? Mizuki please!!]
Me? I...well...[!? Figure something out, Tamaki.] I could never be truly worthy of Mizuki-san.
[There. Perfect. Why are you like this, Mizuki?]
