WEEK 7, WEDNESDAY

[divus]

[In the studio today, Love is seated on the floor dressed in darker colors today. She's wearing heart-shaped earrings that look new, and also the bracelet from Taka's offering. The parfait's also in front of her.]

It's almost too cute to eat. [She definitely has two spoons though.]

me staring at the comment count on this post and sighing

[bakaomi]

That's fine.

[ he pulls out ray's camera. ]

Memories.

...oh my god when did you hit 3k, im crying.

[divus]

[She visibly stills for a moment.]

...I was wondering where that went. [But there's a grin anyway.] Memories, then.

I HATE THIS SO MUCH

[bakaomi]

It might be nice to annoy him with them when we see him again.

[ he raises the camera, trying to get both the parfait and rise in the picture. ]

suffer

[divus]

[She gets it, and she's also moving the parfait enough to make sure it's in the shot. The way she poses and the way she smiles kind of screams "I'm used to cameras" but…]

We should check out the wings and take lots of pictures for him then. He can always take them back with him, too.

[bakaomi]

[ he snaps the shot, and then pulls out the polaroid that comes out. taka slides it over to her as it develops. ]

Yeah. I'm sure Senri would make a scrapbook for him.

[divus]

That's sweet. [She's peering at the photo though even as she slides the parfait between them and holds up a spoon for him.] It'd be a great welcome back present. And so far this week seems pretty quiet, doesn't it? We should go out and get some new shots.

[bakaomi]

Pretty quiet.

[ ignoring the fucking RELATIONSHIP DRAMA that sasuke apparently unleashed on monday but it's fine

he takes the spoon ]

Have you looked around the wings yet?

[divus]

[She's happily ignoring that ok. But it's parfait-sharing and brainstorming time.]

Not yet! I've been pretty busy with meetings and stuff...wanna be my tour guide? You and Senri probably already went to look, right? I've heard about what they are though.

[bakaomi]

We only checked out the east wing together since I knew he'd want to stay there.

[ no offense to piety, but like... super elite hotel. ]

It's super fancy.

[divus]

It's Ambition's. That doesn't surprise me at all...I miss fancy hotels though. he has good taste.

We could go look at the west wing together then if you want. Just to say that we did.

[bakaomi]

Mmhm. We can go after we finish.

[ the parfait, he means ]

[divus]

[She just smiles brightly because that's a good promise. She'll start to dig in with her own spoon though.]

Awesome. [Parfait plz.] What else have you been up to this week? It feels like we haven't talked in a while.

[bakaomi]

Oh.

Sasuke kissed me and then told Senri he loves him.

[divus]

HE WHAT?

[SASUKE WHY!!!]

[bakaomi]

Right?! Like, what the hell? Right in front of my parfait!

[divus]

That's even worse!! [WHY!!] What the hell was he even thinking? The Love Arrow wasn't even for you! [She's burying her face in her hands...after taking a bite of the parfait.]

I hope he had some kind of explanation.

[bakaomi]

The kiss was because he kissed Senri, and he said he wanted us to be even.

[ he sounds

so exasperated ]

[divus]

[There's something that sounds like "oh my god" muffled in her hands. Is that bad to say when she is a god? Who knows.]

Ugh. When I told him to be honest with his feelings that wasn't exactly what I meant! Also that's a stupid idea! You can't go around kissing people if you don't actually want to kiss them! [They can be exasperated together.]

[bakaomi]

I know... moron...

[ he takes a bite of the parfait. ]

But Senri knows now, I guess.

[divus]

Jeez...how'd he take it? How're you taking it?

[bakaomi]

... Senri freaked out. He feels guilty that he didn't notice Sasuke likes him.

[divus]

...liking people is really tricky. [Another spoonful of parfait.] It's like...sometimes you can't really even tell who's flirting and who genuinely likes someone, so hurt feelings are bound to happen.

[Case in point: Rise being able to see Yu flirting with everyone and not knowing what to make of that before they got together.]

I don't even know if Senri should feel bad. With Sasuke it's hard to really know what to expect from him in the first place. [Also Taka gets to learn that Rise just doesn't bother with honorifics for these people, that's fine.]

[bakaomi]

... I don't think he should. From what I could see, Senri was mostly treating him like he does our friends back home.

[ he taps his spoon against the the side of the cup. ]

He didn't even realize I liked him. He was so surprised when I confessed I was positive he was going to reject me.

[divus]

...Senri and I are kinda alike, I think. People used to say things about me, too, when I was treating people mostly the same. [She hasn't forgotten that Chie definitely called her a dangerous girl when she thought she couldn't hear her.] It's not really anybody's fault, but if it's the same behavior for everyone...maybe he shouldn't.

[Hm...] Why would he reject you? You're a good choice. [Thanks, Rise.] I get that you guys weren't really close before you even got here but...what is it that you like about Senri anyway?
