You don't need to apologize for anything, Tsunashi-san. Instead, I should be thanking you.
If you're really happy to do it, then I'll look forward to it even more. Rather than the photoshoots you're used to, I'd like to capture more candid moments, like all of the expressions you show me...
I, um... I can't offer much in return, unless you'd like to take photos of me. I hope that's alright.
I wouldn't want to bother any of the others, so my studio may be the best option.
[There's no need to explain why - it may be the space with his home recording studio, but it's still his old two bedroom apartment, as Ryuu is undoubtedly well aware. His private, personal space.]
Or... That's part of the reason.
I know I said it earlier, but I really want to spend time alone with you, Tsunashi-san. Just the two of us.
[ ryuu is used to being wanted. he's made a monarchy of it, an ill-fitted throne and a heavy mantle to a man who lets most desires harmlessly pass him by. it's more like a second skin than it is a suit of armor. but this is different and he senses it instantly, energy leveling, chest lightening. ]
Okay. I understand. I'm glad to give my time to you. Are you feeling okay about everything lately?
[It's amazing, really, how the warmth flushing Sougo's face is almost calming. Ryuu's kindhearted question isn't out of reluctance - he can just tell, somehow, and it's so remarkably easy to let the tension slip from his body instead of fretting for hours if he's come off as rude or crossed a line. It's... comfortable. Soothing. And he hopes that Ryuu can feel it too.]
As reliable as ever, Sougo-kun. There's no reason, really! I just thought I would ask, since we're speaking so openly nowadays.
[ though ryuu is far from someone with ulterior motives, he has gotten used to people seeking refuge with him in trying times. like a mooring, or harbor. but it's clear that he's taken sougo's answer to heart, believing him unconditionally. ]
I know we came here used to some of the things that can happen, but it's still different this time too, isn't it?
Really, it's all thanks to everyone around me being so kind and supportive. Are you doing well, Tsunashi-san?
But you're right... We had an advantage coming in, but now that we've been here for a few months, the differences are becoming more apparent. I think I prefer it here, especially since the bond forged through Synchrony is so pleasant.
[ don't say his ears were cute don't say his ears were cute don't say his ears were cute ]
Ah, yeah. Sorry that I brought it up! I understand... Come to think of it, I haven't seen you with any changes here, have I? Your amethyst seems to suit you better, even so.
Ah, no... That isn't what I meant. Bringing it up isn't a bad thing! It was just... I don't regret the time we spent there, but it was embarrassing to experience the moon cycles, to say the least.
Does it? Thank you for thinking so. Your sapphire also suits you perfectly, and I'm sure your traits are magnificent.
[It's this effortlessly earnest side of Ryuu that really shines in their current situation, never wavering. Sougo may not be about to put that into words, but what he can do is send along an image of his aforementioned wings.
It's only a mirror selfie, back turned to obscure most of his body and face. But in addition to the beautiful white wings that match his hair perfectly, the visible skin of his arm and shoulder have a bit of a pearlescent sheen to them.]
They're incredibly beautiful, but it took me a while to learn to control them properly.
I understand. I don't mean to either, but sometimes strange body parts can be really inconvenient... But yours look wonderful. You even learned to fly with them? Was it difficult?

the cavernous depths where his brain cells should be
But since we're not talking about work, I hope you'll accept my apology!
If it's just the two of us, I'd be happy to let you let my picture.
"DOES HE HAVE A SIX PACK AND A DICK BIGGER THAN HIS IQ?" "THAT'S A SOUGO BOY"

HIS IMPECCABLE TASTE
But don't think you have to repay me for saying yes, or anything like that. I'm glad you came to me so honestly.
Did you have a time in mind?
He knows his type. (And so does everyone else.)
You don't need to make it a priority, so whenever you're free should be just fine. It'll be nice to spend some time together.
in which sougo is actually the most respectable person in i7
So in that case, why don't we make an evening of it?
Is he really, though....
But much more importantly, I would love to.
absolutely
That's great, Sougo-kun. What do you say to having dinner with me then?
no subject
That would be wonderful. If you'd like, we could cook something together instead of going out somewhere.
no subject
What a nice idea. Should we use my kitchen or yours?

But I wouldn't take it back.

Wings? Like an angel?

Ah... Thank you very much. I didn't exactly mean to keep it to myself, but...
If you'd like, I can show them to you next time. We could even go out flying.

If you don't mind me asking, what are your transformations like, Tsunashi-san?
