[oh my god.

He's so unprepared for it that he does squawk when Minami drags him into that kiss, before it's smothered into silence.

He can't help but think--the crew is probably there, if not almost, concerned by their fall and the ruckus. But at least Minami tried to warn him. That's progress.

Anyway, he has had his realization. It knocked them off the balcony, but he sure had it. So you know what? Worry about everything else later. He's Tsukasa Tenma, the leader of WonderlandsxShowtime, and a soaring star reaching ever new heights. He's got this. So he takes a moment, brief but lingering, to kiss Minami back--he doesn't want it to be brief, but he also knows he can't drag it out, either.

Because in the next moment, he's pulling back to stand up, dusting himself off to assure the gathered crew they're totally fine, you can put the cameras and the med kits away, relax, relax--! They can be left alone now, really, it's fine...]

[ so he wasn't mistaken. actually that kiss was better than before.

his heart skips a beat.

demon's hearts don't jump like this and demons also don't flush from their cheeks to the tip of their pointed ears. that realization hits on top of all the other things he's feeling right now. ]

[ what can he do but laugh? flop back into the dirt for a moment and give Hell a few seconds to open up beneath him and take him.

it's nice and warm. it's gross and itchy. he likes it. he hates it. he can't breathe. he feels like he's breathing for the first time since that day.

he has no idea what to do with himself but he's pretty sure—the laughter fills in those gaps and as much as he wants to rip his heart out from his chest, he also feels like he really could fly if they fell from the balcony again.

he's fine, he's fine, he's better than fine which is why he doesn't know how to deal with it. ]

[inparfait]

[ well it looks like Hell has missed its chance to swallow him, because just like that, minami pulls in a breath and rolls up in one fluid motion. he looks at the crew who are sure wondering why they got this assignment today, with a smile. ]

You can go away now. Please~.

[aspirings]

[The crew can't totally leave, of course, until they cart Tsukasa and Minami back with them, but they at least give them some space and breathing room.

Tsukasa takes a deep breath, runs his fingers through his hair, and clears his throat before he looks back at Minami.

And then he holds out his hand.]

We should probably return regardless. We've taken up enough of the crew's time, I think.

[inparfait]

[ damn just hit him twice in a row tsukasa he's already dead.

minami stares at the outstretched hand a second before he clasps it firmly with a giggle. he feels like he's going to implode, but that's also fine. the blush will linger for a little while, though he's doing his best to ignore how his face feels along with general feelings in the moment. ]

Okay~. I'll scare the butterflies away for you. [ he's good at being scary! and once again he cannot hold this many good things in his arms so tsukasa will have to take some of it. but apparently, that's what tsukasa wants too. ]

[aspirings]

[rip to Minami specifically.

Also Tsukasa really wants to argue that he's not afraid of butterflies but he knows that ship has so...sailed......

So instead, he just sighs a little, shaking his head, and starts to walk.]

... Then I'll be counting on you.
