week three | mingle

[showhost]

So, uh.

Welcome to Week Three! We’ve officially passed the halfway point, and after a super, duper successful Match Ceremony, I’m sure the teens are feeling all hyped up and raring to go.

Right?

Regardless, there are a few changes this Monday morning to greet the teens:

• First off, there is a new bathroom! Oooh, aaaahhhh. Three whole bathrooms in the house for the teens now. Enjoy.
  
• There is also a set of video games in the living room to connect to the TV. They are pretty much all multiplayer party games like M*rio C*rt. Don’t kill each other.
  
• There are a few packs of dorayaki now scattered around the house.
  
• There is also a piano now in the living room!
  
• On the counter in the kitchen, there is also some paper and writing implements, like basic ballpoint pens. Wait, doesn’t that break the rules?

Tsukasa’s extremely loud and obnoxious voice is not here to greet you guys this morning, which means it seems there isn’t a Task for the week–

But something else seems to be going on.

Cuz I kinda wanna do it now... [ he won't but please understand he's suffering with his emotions and this is how he communicates (as tsukasa knows.) his facial expression says as much. ]

You make me feel so... [ reaching up to cup one of his bright red cheeks gently. (warm. happy. adjectives that have no place with him.) ]

[aspirings]

[They are IN. PUBLIC!! MINAMI PLEASE.

Tsukasa, of course, immediately reaches out to claps Minami's cheeks between his own hands, though far less sultry than Minami.

And:]

A-alright, enough!

[Forget the cameras (which is a thing he can never do, he's an actor!!), anyone could walk out here and see them like this at any time!!

But he can't be mad, either, because Minami is being more honest than usual, which is always a treat........]

Of course, I am glad to hear that you do, b-but this is very public--!

[inparfait]

[ puffing up his cheeks. ]

I wasn't going to do it right now!! [ this has nothing to do with being in public though. ]

[aspirings]

[he suspects this has nothing to do with being in public]

I suppose this is going to take some getting used to... [Sure, they can see each other more, but now it's not privately...]

[inparfait]

You've been on a date with me before!

[ in public, as opposed to their other dates.

no one perceive us.

give his braincell a second to remember the embrace space exists. ]

[aspirings]

[It is actually better for Tsukasa's heart rate if he doesn't remember.]

Well... yes. Once!

[...!]

Though now I can fulfill my promise and take you on another one!

/2

[inparfait]

Well yeah, obviously.

[ but he knew tsukasa was going to do that anyway even if minami personally needed to [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]. ]

/3 actually

[inparfait]

[ okay, there goes his braincell. ]

Oooh, but we can use that room now, right? It has a bed and it's private! I was getting kind of tired of the couch...

[inparfait]

[ is tsukasa dead by this point because- ]

I wanna cuddle on a bed!!!

[ -that's what he meant! ]

1/3

[aspirings]

"That room".............

["It has a bed and it's private"........]

[aspirings]

[??????

dalksndlks??????]

3/3

[aspirings]

[--oh.

Oh, to cuddle.

Oh my god, that's what he meant.]

A-ah. That's.

[wheeze.]

I--I suppose that's fine, at least for a few minutes.

[inparfait]

[ oh my god he can't really laugh with his cheeks held like this but that's not going to stop him. he's squishing tsukasa's affectionately. ]

Pfft, heheheh! You weren't thinking about the other thing, were you? I said I'd take you out to dinner first and I can do way better than that stupid room. I deserve it but you do too!

[aspirings]

[Don't call him out like this!! It's the Embrace Space, he knows what it's for!

He does finally release Minami's cheeks so he can just flop back into the chair with as much of a sigh as he can do while Minami is smooshing his own cheeks like that.

Anyway, play it cool, Tsukasa, pretend like your cheeks aren't bright red.]

I suppose it's true I haven't seen the inside of it.

[inparfait]

Then we're going sometime next week! [ minami follows the flop, letting go of tsukasa's cheeks if only so he can admire that blush more. ]

And we get to sleep together now too, hehe.

[ he will take more tsukasa but honestly the part he's most excited about is just getting to sleep with him beyond naps. incubi priorities.... ]

[aspirings]

[Minami is so real for that...

Tsukasa is vaguely aware that people are gonna Notice, but.... well...... this ship has sailed. Whatever!!

... ... ... also wait that's right, he is sleeping in the house now, isn't he...]

Have you been using one of the beds? [he knows there are

Not Enough for everyone.]

[inparfait]

When I feel like it. I prefer to sleep in a bed, but sleeping in a big room with others is a lot with all their dreams and if I stepped into Akechi's I'm sure I would kill him, so I move around.

[ said matter of factly. ]

[aspirings]

Huh...

[A lot with all of their dreams...

Casually ignoring the bit about Akechi, as he's gotten practiced at doing...]

Do you want to sleep somewhere else, then? I don't mind. [He'll follow, obvs]

[inparfait]

My place is outside in Hell. Do you think we could get a tent?

[aspirings]

[a... tent...

he doesn't want to sleep in a tent......... he's too much of a diva for this... but he did say he'd follow minami...]

I can't imagine they would deny you something that simple... I'll be sure to ask production the next time I speak with them.

... You truly sleep in a tent?

[inparfait]

I have a bed!

[ hnngh well this is tsukasa, so. ]

It's what works cuz I can't stay in one place too long or Seiya will find me. Having a real place with a big fluffy bed would be nice...

[aspirings]

[Oh, so that's how it is.... he moves around a lot by necessity... oh thank goodness, Tsukasa wasn't sure he could deal with sleeping in a tent even with a bed in there.]

He probably can't follow you across worlds, right?

[inparfait]

[ tsukasa...is very valid. ]

He can cross over to the living world because of his stupid title. I'm pretty sure the only reason he hasn't shown is cuz of the magic around this place.

[ seiya, staring at the barrier and Waiting. ]

[aspirings]

[Hmmmm!!

And, calmly:]

But not my living world. There's no way our worlds are the same. For one thing, demons are definitely not real where I'm from.

[so surely... Seiya couldn't follow Minami there?]

[inparfait]

They are now. [ cheekily. though he pauses after. ]

But he'll probably still try. We'll just need a cute girl to distract him with.

[ this is mostly a joke he's just trying to grapple with how to tackle this because he doesn't want to put tsukasa in danger and seiya is as persistent as minami is, so he views it as something practically inevitable. ]
