[ honestly, why did the saniwa decide to leave these specific two together without any sort of supervision other than themself? they had to know some stupid shit was bound to go down, right?

nikkari wouldn't call himself a romantic, not at all. but... one, he is fond of teasing; two, he likes trying new things; and three, like all the other sword spirits, he enjoys making their master happy.

so, at tsuru's suggestion, nikkari simply glances over with a sly smile. ]

My, how forward, Tsurumaru-san. You aren't even going to court me first?

[preowned]

Courting...?

[ there's a pause, like he didn't think of that (he didn't think of a lot of things, actually, but that's not the point here).

and then he makes a please wait motion with his hands before running out of the room. he'll be back. ]

[uncleanse]

[ he doesn't look surprised at all when tsuru takes off; if anything, he seems to be mildly amused. he takes the opportunity to sit down and get comfy, idly commenting, ]

Ah. I hope I haven't been ghosted.

[ ha ha ]

[preowned]

[ god i hate you

but a little bit later he returns! in his hands are flowers! actually, they're technically weeds, but if you don't know any better then they're flowers. he also has mochi. it was definitely already made and just sitting there so tsuru probably just stole someone's snack, but it's fine. ]

Tada!

[uncleanse]

[ nikkari has spent enough time doing fieldwork to know they're weeds, and he guesses tsuru took the treats...but he isn't going to say anything to anyone. they're just faking it all anyway, right?? ]

For me? [ he brings a hand to his chest. ] I'm touched, truly.

[preowned]

Really? I'm so happy!

[ he'll set the items down next to nikkari before settling down as well. ]

The flowers go with your eye.

[uncleanse]

[ that comment gets a chuckle out of him... he lifts his hand to brush some hair over his shoulder, leaving just enough to keep his right eye covered. ]

I do have two, you know.

[preowned]

And I am sure the other one is also quite beautiful.

[ in theory.

tsuru reaches over to take the mochi. he's splitting it in two and eating half of it, sorry. ]

[uncleanse]

[ he'll take it as a compliment. i'm not npcing the ghost fuck you

as tsuru eats, nikkari puts his elbow on the table and rests his face against his hand. there's something like a twinkle in his eye that makes it seem like he's expecting something. ]

I wonder... are you planning on sharing that with me, or are you saving it for yourself for later? I don't think it would be very romantic if it was the latter.

[preowned]

It's yours, of course. I can feed it to you, if you'd like.

[ that's what couples do, according to what their saniwa had gushed about. ]

[uncleanse]

Ah... I'd like that very much.

[ let it be known that nikkari aoe is nothing if not dedicated to a task. not moving from his spot (he's comfy), he opens his mouth with a teasing smile. he lets his jaw hang for a couple of seconds before closing it again, mischievously smirking at tsuru. ]

This is fine practice for when our master returns, don't you think?

[preowned]

Mm. They'll be very surprised!

[ tsuru are you doing this for them or for yourself

(it's both. it's funny and it'll make them happy presumably, but also it's funny) ]

I believe more should be returning from missions soon, so it'll be a good time.

[uncleanse]

[ he slowly raises an eyebrow at that, before his face returns to a more neutral expression... a melancholy one, actually. ]

Hm? Do you want our alone time to be cut short already, Tsurumaru-san?

[ make that two of them, christ ]

[preowned]

[ there's a pause, and he reaches over to run a hand through nikkari's ponytail, his fingers curling around a few of the strands. ]

Our time together will never be short.

[ bad. ]

[uncleanse]

[ when tsuru touches his hair, he brings his hand to his face and looks away... though it's not because he's being demure. it's because he's trying to suppress his laughter. ]

You're surprisingly good at this. Have you been reading more of our master's novels than you've let on?

[preowned]

I'm a fast learner!

[ tsuru is prepared to enter any type of fuckery at any given time?? it's the way of the meme ]

... your hair is actually pretty soft.

[ that's not flirting he's genuinely impressed ]

[uncleanse]

You couldn't tell just by looking at it?

[ he doesn't look like he minds if tsuru keeps his hand tangled in his hair. ]

Haha... I'm a little offended you'd even imply I don't take care of myself.

[ he isn't ]

[preowned]

There's plenty of swords who don't. Kara-bou would say something like...

[ he clears his throat. impression time. ]

"I don't care about things like that. Go away."

[uncleanse]

Ookurikara-san says that about everything.

[ he is, however, applauding tsuru's acting, though. a flawless imitation. ]

[preowned]

Yes, but this was said with about 15% more contempt than usual.

[ he nods as he says that, as if it makes it anymore true.

but he'll let go of nikkari's hair. ]

[uncleanse]

[ you know, he was curious as to how tsuru came up with a statistic that specific, but... ]

Oh? Tired of me already?

[preowned]

It seems indecent if I continue to touch you like this when I'm still courting you.

[ when does the wooing stage end and the dating begin. he doesn't know. ]

[uncleanse]

Ahaha... I don't see a problem if I welcome the attention.

[ even if nikkari knows the difference, watching tsuru try these things out is amusing as hell. ]

[preowned]

Then... oh!

[ something he learned from the tantous then.

don't mind him, tsuru is just going to reach for the flowers now. ]

[uncleanse]

"Oh"? Don't keep me in suspense.

[ he's genuinely curious about where tsuru's trying to go with this. his unpredictability is fun, maybe even kind of charming...?! b a d ]
