[ 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? ]

[enshrinement]

Is that so...

[ he casts a dubious look at the two before shaking his head with a weak laugh. he really does not want to ask, at least not right now. he suddenly feels very fatigued from the mission, actually, let him rest? ]

Well, it would be quite rude of me to keep the two of you, wouldn't it? I do hope you enjoy yourselves, whatever the... "surprise" may be. Just, ah... try not to cause any trouble.

[ it's definitely directed at both of them. ]

[uncleanse]

Haha... do we really seem like troublemakers to you? A holy sword shouldn't be making such rude accusations, you know.

[ there's a glint in nikkari's visible eye that probably makes ishi want to wholeheartedly agree with that quip, but he bites his tongue; in response, nikkari laughs teasingly before turning back to tsuru. ]

Let's not trouble Ishikirimaru-san any longer... Tsuru-san.

[ he flashes an amused grin at tsuru. does using a nickname so suddenly count as a tiny surprise? ]

[ you should have kept the shitpost you coward

but tsurumaru blinks, and then smiles. he waves happily at ishi. ]

We have a very busy day ahead of us. We'll see you later then?

[ implying that whenever later is, the two of them will still be together [

[uncleanse]

[ it'll always be in your heart

ishi simply nods and continues on his way to do whatever the fuck he was doing do you think i put that much thought into this gag. nikkari waits until he's far out of sight and earshot, then brings his free hand up to cover his mouth and hide his mischievous expression. it's more out of habit than anything, though, because he knows tsuru Understands. ]

Of all people... poor Ishikirimaru-san.

[preowned]

[ tsuru, who is unaware that they're gay just

well he just rolls with that comment. ]

Ah, well, it's good to get someone you speak to often right away. It'll make it more believable when other people hear.

[uncleanse]

[ god bless but also fuck you tsuru ]

It isn't as if he's the type to gossip or spread rumors, though... that would certainly add an element of drama to the scenario we're crafting.

[preowned]

I would say Kara-bou would be good for the same reason, but he'd walk away before we even say anything...

[ hm

ah well. ]

We'll see how it goes!

[uncleanse]

Hm... the Toushirou brothers would certainly believe us and tell everybody, Midare-kun especially, but that seems a little unfair. Maybe even a little cruel?

[preowned]

Surprises are just like that sometimes.

[ tsuru is too used to playing practical jokes on people ]

haha hey guess who

[uncleanse]

. . . You would say as much, Tsuru-san.

[ ANYWAY. it's fine. nikkari can be an asshole too, so he can't really judge, when he sits down to think about it... ]

So, did you have anything in mind for this "busy day" we're to be having, or were you just trying to get Ishikirimaru-san to move on?

[preowned]

Hm...

[ he taps his chin thoughtfully. ]

What do romantic couples normally do?

(you voice) if anyone would like to do anything with tsuru

[uncleanse]

Hm...

[ it's said in the exact same cadence and tone that tsuru uses. ]

Thinking about it now, the concept of a "date" is rather vague, isn't it...

stop

[preowned]

Oh! Yes it is, actually!

[ ha ha! ]

We should do something that we enjoy but is also romantic?

[uncleanse]

[ pause ]

Napping under a kotatsu.

[preowned]

Splendid idea! It's a date, then.

[ no ]

[uncleanse]

Ah, I'm glad you agree. Haha... on the surface, it may seem plain, but the comfort of sharing a kotatsu while falling asleep in your beloved's arms...

What a wonderfully warm idea.

[ it's just the heater he's looking for lbr ]

[preowned]

Oh, I understand! Sometimes, when Sada-chan and I are playing around, we end up falling asleep and it's very comfortable.

[ there is nothing romantic about that, the only correlation is the warmth ]

[uncleanse]

[ soft! and! warm! ]

Haha... we really do have more in common than I initially thought.

[preowned]

Let's go find a kotatsu then.

[ there are many other ideas they can come up with but he seems to be immediately on board with this one. ]

[uncleanse]

I know just where to find one. [ of course he does. he reaches for tsuru's hand ] Come, Tsuru-san.

[ and off they go! nikkari marches the both of them confidently through the citadel, very much a Sword on a Mission. some of the others see them as they pass through the halls, but if they have anything to say, they just keep it to themselves; there is a high chance of bullshit with these two specifically and no one wants to deal with that right now.

soon, they reach one of the common rooms used for leisure when they aren't on any missions, and... as soon as the sliding door is thrown open, tsuru will find that nikkari has disappeared from his side?? if he looks straight ahead, he'll see that the wakizashi is somehow already snug under the covers of the kotatsu, heater on and blankets toasty. ]

Ahh... so warm...

1/2

[preowned]

[ wh

wha ]

[preowned]

[ you know what

he decides not to think about it.

instead, tsuru just nyooms on over and slides under the kotatsu himself, getting snug before letting out a sigh. ]

Thank goodness for modern technological advancements.

[uncleanse]

[ goes on a ten minute long monologue about ghosts who froze to death seeking warmth underneath the covers of a kotatsu ]

[uncleanse]

[ can you imagine...nah, nikkari is just focusing on getting cozy when something seems to occur to him. he reluctantly sits up to face tsuru, a small shiver running through his body even though the room itself isn't that cold... loser... ]

Ah. Do you think we should...be closer, Tsuru-san?
