Poor Gou-chan... Makoto got to have the adorable curse. [ excuse him as he spends a moment, imagining makoto as a puppy. playing with the puppy, caring for the puppy, snuggling with the puppy... ]
Hm? Nah, it seems like it doesn't really work that way. I haven't noticed any patterns when it comes to people just going home, but there's gotta be something in there somewhere. I don't think we'll get a straight answer if we ask the landlord.
[ but this was okay, he was used to this sort of deadpan. just taking this moment to draw circles in sousuke's shirt ]
Perhaps you'll just have to settle for a scandalous relationship with me instead, there's still food involved at the very least~
[Kisumi Shigino confirmed for a furry???] Maybe if you ask nicely you can get turned into something too.
Is he even a real person? People talk about him like they're talking about a god. [That'd make the survey girl some kind of priestess...
The deadpan, the clinging, the low level whatever it is Kisumi's insinuating... it's one of the most familiar things here so far. This could almost be home.]
I've been here less than a week and you want to use food to make me the talk of the neighborhood? Better be some good food.
[ he was totally just thinking of makoto as this tiny cuddly portable fluffy thing. totally not just a guy with dog ears and a tail. nope. ]
Hmm... Yeah? I've heard that he's gotten out to mingle with the public a few times, never personally met him myself though. [ but the way sousuke is dissecting this, trying to figure out that fearsome duo, it's so cute ]
Since when did you care if others talked? [ he was so teasing, pulling off and up to face sousuke properly ] But you surely won't be disappointed, I've gotten even better at it since middle school.
Oh. So if I wanted to talk to him that could happen. [Just a couple of words. Three to start with. "What the fuck," is always a good ice breaker.]
I don't care if they talk, I'm just trying to make the most of the food offer. I've gotten better too, though. I make a mean fried rice. [That's food. Totally food. He can live for days off fried rice alone.]
Oh yeah, pretty much! His contact info should be in your phone already, and his house isn't really all that hard to find. I just haven't had a need to really talk to him about anything.
[ which is to say he has no complaints that can be dealt with ]
Oh yeah? We should cook together in that case right? Romantic private dinners after the kids are good and fed. It would be perfect~
[Sousuke takes that and files it, that Kisumi's wondered about asking as well as that the landlord's not likely to answer. He'd rather focus on something less frustrating, anyway, so food's a good change of direction.]
All right, I'll keep some for us to have too, but it's nothing fancy. You might even be able to teach me a thing or two.
[That definitely comes with a smirk and a glance from the corner of his eye. Kisumi's positive outlook and complete lack of giving a shit has always been contagious.]
I'm hurt Sousuke, to think that I would be so clumsy as to hurt myself from jumping a wall... if anything I'd probably just roll into the pool or something.
Then all you'd have to worry about is drying me off.
[Yeah, that actually does feel kind of embarrassing. Come on, Kisumi, you've known him since skinned knee days. Sousuke sighs but also looks away. TCH.]
Resisting having you rolling around on my bed? The more I resist the more determined you'll be to do it, so my best bet's either to lock you out or accept my fate.

You haven't wanted to ask him anything? Not about why those people got sent away or whatever?
[Given how much that seemed to trouble Kisumi, Sousuke's not sure he believe that.]
There's nothing romantic about fried rice. I'll cook for them, you cook for us.
no subject
[ but oh wait, there's a moment of shock to be had, something to play along with ]

no subject
And just so you know, I'm totally jumping the wall to visit you because it's just faster that way.
no subject
[That gets a roll of his eyes, though.]
At least get a ladder. I'm not going to be responsible for you breaking your neck.
The door'll stay open, though.
no subject
Then all you'd have to worry about is drying me off.
no subject
Maybe I wouldn't dry you off. Let you run around wet and think about what you did. But you'd be standing the whole time, you're not sitting down wet.
[Like he's some kind of errant pet. For shame. Sousuke's tone is almost too serious to be taken seriously, though.]
no subject
no subject
[Sousuke's brand of shamelessness is different than Kisumi's but probably almost as unshakable.]
no subject
[ this seemed like the most logical response in this convo ]
no subject
[And he's crossing his arms and shaking his head. So disappointed in you, Kisumi.]
If you think you're getting anything for it, you're nuts.
no subject
no subject
What is it you think you're going to get?
no subject
But yeah, we should definitely keep this behind locked doors so that you can keep your cool around the kids.
no subject
Satisfaction, huh?
I don't think either of them think I'm cool but they at least respect me sort of. That'd all be out the window.
But it's not a no.
no subject
[ is he embarrassing yet? ]
In either case, I'm noting that you're not resisting.
no subject
Resisting having you rolling around on my bed? The more I resist the more determined you'll be to do it, so my best bet's either to lock you out or accept my fate.
[And he's not big on fighting fate these days.]
no subject
[ there was the sigh as he rests his head on sousuke's chest ]
This is why I've always liked you the most~ [ such dramatics before pulling away with a smile ]
I'll quit embarrassing you now, but only this one time.
no subject
[He doesn't resist any of that either but the offer to stop just gets a deadpan look.]
The one time you're willing to stop is when there's no one here to see? You should keep going now and save that for when it matters.
