[ a surprisingly good idea. but he doesn't want to wear a dress. not that it's a bad thing, but a swimsuit would be preferable. ] not it. we'll both be the salaryman.
[ he wants to thank sousuke, or apologize for the short notice, but things are too stilted with him. somehow. he's not even sure sousuke likes him at all or just tolerates him or what. which is fine most of the time. a bit unnerving some of the time. ]
makoto is matching with someone else, so i had to improvise.
i'll make sure he's clean and walked so he doesn't pee on you
[there was a time he might not have bothered with that much but haru matters to rin and, like with makoto, sousuke's capable of seeing when something is his own issue and not a third party's fault, even if he can't always rise above it.]
[ there's a lot haru wants to talk about concerning the two of them. he knows sousuke is not in a completely parallel position, but he can't shake the feeling that he might be the only person to remotely understand.
but he's haru, and sousuke is sousuke, and haru is worlds away from feeling comfortable enough to talk to sousuke about any of his growing pains or the confusion he had gone through. the dust is settled, he has more clarity, and he's accepted that things have changed. ]
he didn't ask me.
[ he would have had no problem with it, though it's a bit annoying to be the horse. but the horse can easily defeat the cowboy. probably. ]
[Hearing that much deep thinking from Haru would be... a kind of surprise. Sousuke's no stranger to the idea that still waters can run deep, but to hear it from someone who he's had, at best, a strained relationship with, would be odd. Not totally beyond reaction, though. He's wondered before how Haru feels about this entire thing with Rin and Makoto, especially considering he's close to both of them (and, depending on how he's feeling on any given day, closer to both of them than Sousuke thinks he himself is). Wondering doesn't always make it to action, though, and that's not going to change today.]

matching salarymen
or are you sharing a costume with nike?
no subject
no subject
the basic fact of it is you in a suit with my dog
no subject
so?
no subject
how is that going to work in a way that's not completely weird?
no subject
[ it will be better than all of their costumes. ]
no subject
is that safe for him?
he likes to jump at people
and food
and people with food
no subject
yeah? ok. i'll keep him away from food. i think it will be fine if i keep giving him treats.
[ he recalls the dog being highly food-motivated. plus, it will just look like a dog in a suit feeding itself ... ]
no subject
he's gotten better but it's going to be loud and crowded
he might freak out but treats would help
[dawning realization that haru probably knows nike better than he does, anyway.]
as long as it's safe
no subject
i won't let anything happen to him. if things get difficult, i will take him to you.
no subject
that's fine then
i'll be there anyway in case anything happens
no subject
i'll come by to pick him up.

rin, right?
no subject
rin wanted to say "giddy up" to makoto. i think that bothered makoto.
no subject
i think that'd bother anybody
[on one hand, awkward, but on the other good for makoto, which is a weird feeling for sousuke to parse.]
