Haha. Midare-kun's interest in these sorts of things doesn't surprise me at all.

[ he laughs as tsuru leans forward, and he even tucks some hair behind his ear to give him a more convenient spot to place some "flowers." he keeps his hand near his face to twirl green strands around his fingers teasingly. ]

Well? How do I look?

[preowned]

[ he pulls back, inspecting his handiwork...

and he'll throw up a peace sign, pleased. ]

I see what he means. It's a surprisingly good look for you!

[uncleanse]

—"Surprisingly"?

[ bitch, ]

[preowned]

Surprises are good!

[uncleanse]

[ tsuwu. . . ]

You should be careful about what you say, Tsurumaru-san. I might not be as forgiving next time.

[preowned]

Ah.

Are you breaking up with me already?

[uncleanse]

I thought we were still in the courting phase...

But would I have said "next time" if I didn't want to keep seeing you?

[preowned]

This really is difficult.

[ humans are complicated!!! ]

[uncleanse]

[ he just chuckles lmao ]

You're the one who suggested giving this a try.

[preowned]

And we will! But I need to rethink how to win over someone's heart...

[ HE'S CHANGING HIS GAME PLAN

sort of ]

[uncleanse]

[ he tilts his head a little... what does that even mean... ]

Do you truly think I'm that difficult to wear down?

[preowned]

There has to be some suspense in this.

[ it's said so seriously ]

[uncleanse]

Ah. You have a point. It wouldn't nearly be as exciting for our master if everything were to go over without any trouble.

So? Any ideas?

[preowned]

Hm... from what it sounded like, there's usually some sort of misunderstanding that could easily be figured out if we actually communicated instead of assuming something, right?

[uncleanse]

[ thinks about how both of them are exactly the type to be misunderstood and just laugh about it

hm ]

[preowned]

Let's think of something else.

[uncleanse]

Hm...

Isn't the point of fake dating to lead others to assume we're romantically involved? So far, we've only had each other to judge...

[preowned]

Should we go out then?

[ he means like. outside. ]

Some of the others should be back now.

[uncleanse]

I think we should.

[ case in point: nikkari agrees without even thinking of asking tsuru to clarify. ]

After you, Tsurumaru-san.

[preowned]

[ he'll stand up!



and then pause and hold his hand out to nikkari to help him up. it would be a very suave move if his expression didn't make it obvious he thinks it's funny ]

[uncleanse]

[ he, too, waits a beat before smiling and taking tsuru's hand. ]

Hahaha. Charming as ever.

[preowned]

Let's go find out who's around.

[ he'd prefer to deal with another sword first before running into their saniwa, so hopefully they can manage that. ]

[enshrinement]

[ fuck you i made the call myself

and so the dummy duo ~conveniently~ runs into everyone's favorite divine healing sword, who gives them a courteous nod. for a sword who's just come back from dispatch, he seems fairly unruffled, putting him in a pretty agreeable mood. ]

Ah. Tsurumaru-san, Nikkari-san—

[ he's about to keep going about making pleasantries as one does, but is momentarily given pause by the way the other two swords are holding hands.

but then he decides to Move On specifically because it's these two. ]

. . . Are the both of you, ah, headed anywhere in particular?

[uncleanse]

[ you let this thread happen you gotta accept all the consequences

ah, perfect. nikkari, unflappable as ever, flashes a sly grin at ishi, tone playful in a way that should tell the oodachi that something is Definitely up. ]

Not at all, Ishikirimaru-san, unless you find anything amiss with us simply taking a stroll on the citadel grounds.

[ here he looks over to tsuru, hesitating briefly... before lightly squeezing his "partner"'s hand. ]

[preowned]

[ i hate this

but tsuru blinks, but the short moment of pause is quickly replaced by a large smile and a laugh. ]

He said he's going to surprise me.

[ it's said in a fond tone, one that can be easily thought to be fondness directed at nikkari. it's like, actually for a surprise, but ishi doesn't need? to know that? ]
