[Admittedly, Tsukasa's persistence isn't going unnoticed by Daiki and it makes him wonder...but not any less curious.]

You've been and done a lot of things, Tsukasa. There's little you could tell me that would be shocking.

Besides, I explained my secret. It's only fair to receive yours in return.

[thismighttickle]

[Unfortunately, Tsukasa knows he can't win. Giving in means letting Daiki know and resisting just helps to make him want it more.]

Since when do you believe in being fair?

[treasuretroller]

When it conveniences me. [At least he's honest.]

[thismighttickle]

Is there anything I can do to make you give up, or are you just going to keep hounding me?

[He hums, tilting his head to the side.]

Or maybe there's a way you could convince me.

[treasuretroller]

[Well. Daiki can't say no to that challenge.]

Don't underestimate my ability to get what I want. [He makes his typical gunshoot gesture with his fingers at Tsukasa's sign, just to add that extra bit of personal claiming that it so clearly needs.]

And just what would it take to convince you to part with it?

[thismighttickle]

[Oh, boy. He might regret doing this, but the gunshot move has a smile tugging at the edges of his lips. Even if it's a bad situation, Tsukasa always enjoys seeing Daiki fired up.]

You're smart. I'm sure you can think of something.

[treasuretroller]

In that case...

[Daiki stands directly in front of Tsukasa...then he swiftly and suddenly grabs his jacket and pulls it off over Tsukasa's head, before he puts the jacket back on himself. Was that a deliberate attempt to get Tsukasa to move his arms, or was Daiki just messing around to get a rise out of him? Who knows. Either way, the sneak-thief seems to be amused...as usual.]

Please make it interesting for me.

[thismighttickle]

[Well, that certainly catches Tsukasa off guard enough that he initially puts his hands up to shove the fabric off, but once he realizes what the other is doing, he goes right back to trying to cover his sign.

He can't say he's not impressed at that one, though.]

Aren't I always interesting?

[treasuretroller]

[Damn. The downside of using the jacket: Daiki's view had been blocked by it when Tsukasa moved his hands. He'll have to try something else...

But in the meantime, more calm responses.]

Not when you get overly serious about things like keeping secrets from your comrades.

[thismighttickle]

I don't see why it's important for you to know everything about me.

[He leans back, raising an eyebrow and giving Daiki a serious look.]

Some people might say you're obsessed with me.

[treasuretroller]

[At that statement, Daiki can't resist a small laugh.]

Maybe I just find you interesting. Is there anything wrong with that?

[thismighttickle]

[Tsukasa huffs at that.]

No, but I'd like to know why. Maybe if you tell me, I'll tell you.

[treasuretroller]

Weren't you the one who just said you're always an interesting person?

[ As he responds, Daiki slowly moves to stand especially close to Tsukasa, for some reason...but not with the same shark-like look as earlier. Rather, he's making eye contact and smiling in a subtly...suggestive sort of way.]

[thismighttickle]

[... well, that's mildly concerning.]

I know I'm interesting to the average person, but...

[He tilts his head to the side, watching him]

You look at things differently than everyone else. Appreciating things other people don't see.

[treasuretroller]

[The suggestive look continues, but Daiki doesn't seem to be making a move other than softening his voice a little.]

I could say the same about you, Tsukasa. Maybe that's a reason why we're attracted to one another.

[thismighttickle]

[. . .

Well, he can't really complain about this, but Tsukasa's looking mildly uncomfortable, shifting his weight and turning his head away.]

Maybe.

[treasuretroller]

Do you know a better reason, then?

[Whether Daiki notices Tsukasa's discomfort or not isn't made visibly clear, but regardless, he's not toning his blatant flirting down just yet.]

[thismighttickle]

... do you really think we should be talking about this?

[That discomfort is certainly clear now, though it's a fine line between not being sure how to handle the situation and embarrassment over actually addressing it.]

[treasuretroller]

Don't tell me you of all people are getting embarrassed.

[Daiki smiles wider, and...is he leaning his face a bit closer to Tsukasa's? (Yes, he certainly is, but he's keeping a few inches of distance between their noses at least.)

He won't admit it out loud, but doing this is making his heart race in that same sort of excited way it does when he's just about to get his hands on a long-awaited treasure. He hadn't anticipated getting this into...well. Tsukasa will find out soon enough. For now, playing with him a bit more won't hurt anything, will it? Because Daiki's quite enjoying this and doesn't want to stop just yet.]

I don't know about you, but...I personally feel it's pointless to keep denying the obvious.

[thismighttickle]

I'm not embarrassed!

[Unfortunately, Tsukasa's voice has absolutely zero conviction and the tone clearly gives away how embarrassed he is. He glances over to see Daiki edging closer, only to shift a half-step back and turn his head away again. Sure, he's being far too obvious about how uncomfortable he is, but being out of control of the situation so much is ... awkward.]

[treasuretroller]

Oh, really?

[Funny, Tsukasa's painfully obvious embarrassment just makes Daiki take a half step closer to make up for the distance that the other rider put between them. Oh, and he's still smiling in that same suggestive way. Of course.

Might as well turn things up a notch. Time to reach one hand up and gently place it on Tsukasa's shoulder.]

[thismighttickle]

[Daiki's touch is enough to make Tsukasa shiver, at which point he reaches up with one hand to knock Daiki's away. His muscles are so tense it's almost painful as he looks back over, trying in vain to push down any of those awkward feelings. It's not like Daiki's being serious... right?]

Kaitou...

[treasuretroller]

[Well, that didn't go so well. But it's not a terribly surprising reaction to Daiki either. A little more respectfully, he takes two steps back to give Tsukasa some space...although really, being respectful doesn't matter so much at this point when he's managed to get what he's been aiming for in the first place: Tsukasa's Decadriver, which Daiki proudly holds up in his other hand.

...or he would have done that normally, but the way Tsukasa is behaving about Daiki's ploy is too...interesting to just drop so quickly. So instead of revealing exactly why he had initiated the flirting in the first place, Daiki hides his prize inside his jacket as he steps back, an action that may or may not be noticeable. In the meanwhile, he maintains his suggestive expression and eye contact.]

What's wrong, Tsukasa? You're usually so confident.

[thismighttickle]

[While the theft seems to go unnoticed for the moment, Tsukasa's discomfort doesn't seem intent on disappearing. He shifts his stance again, itching to do anything other than simply stand in Daiki's presence without doing anything. There's plenty of things he could do, but none of them he should, especially when he can't be sure of exactly what Daiki's intentions are in that moment.

Daiki's right in saying he's usually confident and in far more control of the situation, to an almost staggering degree. Unfortunately, now, Tsukasa's so focused on trying to maintain any control that it's slipping away faster than he can hold on to it.]

I changed my mind. I don't want to talk about it.

[There's a small sliver of confidence, but nothing compared to his usual.]

[treasuretroller]

Oh? [Another opportunity to end things here and pull out the Decadriver, but Daiki's going to keep this up just a little longer. When was the last time he'd seen Tsukasa act like this? Admittedly, Daiki knew that he'd be reacting much the same way if it had been him in Tsukasa's shoes; the main reason he can be confident now is because he knows he can back out at any time - and his intentions hadn't been serious to begin with, anyway.

Whether or not he has become more serious now...is not something he'll bother to think about just yet. He'll just enjoy the moment while it lasts.]

I'm disappointed. I thought you'd be more interested.
