[ 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?]

[ they chuckle at that, leaning over a little and bumping their shoulder against his. ]
But I won't tell you that you made the wrong choice. [ a beat. ] Don't forget that I chose you, too. You're worthy.
