[ the catch is that mosttimes, he has one brain cell. and hell if he knows where it is. ]
I feel as though it's my responsibility, you know? It's not like home. There are things I can explain here to keep anyone from finding out so suddenly, like you did. [ his grip tightens thoughtfully. he's got u, tsuntsun. ] It was so much like home though, that I might've gotten carried away and forgot I can do that now...
[ with a glance towards the ominously-shaped cut out, his brows furrow. ]
And you've supported me a lot already...! You even bought mens' underwear...
[Oh my god, no wonder she has to wear it around her neck to protect it.]
It's not meant to be your responsibility. I mean...yes, I may have overreacted. [Thank you Ryuu, please control this tsuntsun before she explodes.] Aha...I mean, it is a little like home, and you're also taking the entertainment industry by storm! Just like home?
[She turns to the cut-out...and she sinks a little forward, with a long whining noise escaping the back of her throat.]
I can't believe I bought mens' underwear and I don't even need it! Ryuu, is it in your size? N-not that I should be...asking for your size.
[ what a cute noise honestly... he feels a little bad but also. it's so endearing. with a light slip of his fingers from hers, he reaches up to drop a hand into her hair, mussing it fondly. ]
Merch lines are dangerous! Before you know it, things end up this way... [ of course, he's gotten better at the mutual flustering, but he's not immune. stiffening, his cheeks flare. ] I, It's okay! I don't think it's that strange, all things considered... ah -
[He's cuter with his reaction of mussing up her hair!! She's still whining but she can't help but lift her head to receive his headpats. Since they feel nice. That that she would say that out loud, but shh.[
Y-you have a lot of merchandise, a-already as well! What a strong presence you have and...a-ah...
[As soon as he blushes, she does so even harder and...oh, so it should be fine...to ask for his size.] I-I suppose I'll have to learn eventually in order to make your outfits b-but...
I, I'd be happy to! You're right about needing my sizes anyway, and you can't go without after all -
[ well, you can, but he doesn't typically, so it's fine!! brand name skivvies accepted! falling silent, he seems to consider something else at length. ]
Um... do you want me to try and return those for you? [ he gestures at the jewelry. ] I know they couldn't have been inexpensive!
[ and he'd feel horrible if someone got swindled into something with his name on it?! ]
A-ay, yes! I mean, i-it's...well, I will have to measure you one day for accuracy, but anyway!
[She clears her throat again. Takes a deep breath. Is her face still red? It's still red. It's so red because she doesn't even have to imagine him in the brand name underoos considering his advertisement was everywhere.
Although, as red as she is, she blinks at his comment, and lifts a hand to gently touch them, first the necklace, then the earrings.]
Hmm... [Considering she doesn't remember how she fought for them too.] They were not. But...I think I will keep these. As a souvenir. To your success, that you managed to advertise something so expensive that it would end up on my person, and without my recollection. [IT WAS A BLUR.]
I may not look it but I've gotten really good at standing still for measurements!! It used to tickle and I'd get embarrassed easily, so...
[ he feels bad if he's the only one with a red face?! he has to spill the tea on himself!
but that aside, the fact that she needs a moment to think about it, the motions she makes to really weigh the trinkets - he can't help but feel a little warm. sure, endorsements are about money in the end, but it doesn't mean he can't have pride in it. it would be an insult to sen's belief in him to question it too, wouldn't it? ]
In that case, ah... can I just say it looks good on you, then?
I-I mean! I'll try not to tickle you! I have really good hands [...Really good hands. She realised how that sounded after she said it.
TIME TO. PRETEND SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT.
She clears her throat and at least pretends to pose, showing off an earring by cupping her hand just behind it so it stands out. Although it probably stands out more against her black hair. It's true, she believes in him. So she can say that these really expensive jewels are just a measure of his success. Also, take that fans, she got them first. Somehow.]
Thank you...perhaps one day, I can wear them to one of your very stylish events.
[She flushes a little because that's really the only time she could. They're quite extravagant.]
It is your own hard work that got you this far, I am only...cheer squad?
If you did that, I'm sure you'd be the star instead of me.
[ a laugh, but not one of disbelief. ]
I don't mind that though. As much as my fans and the people who support me cheer me on, I want to be someone who does that for them too. We can cheer each other on.
[She immediately shakes her head, even with the jingle of gems.]
N-no, surely not! I do not have your charisma.
[Although, for him to want to support if that was the case.] Very well, let's. Although, you will be supporting me for very different things when it comes to being in the spotlight. [Since it's not happening here, but in her case, it's politics. Very boring.]
You do! By watching over me, you do have that. Trust me.
[ maybe it's not enough for him to just say it, but it's hard for someone like him to describe the effect of the people who turn their eyes and ears and hearts towards him. at least with words. ]
