The room he shares with Ookurikara is quite clean, despite whatever the other's nature might suggest. (Mostly because he's the one doing all the cleaning.) There's a sports jacket slung carelessly over one chair, but other than that everything is kept away very tidily. ]
Did you really bring all that for me?
[ Dude. That's... a lot. ]
no subject
[She says as she lifts up the things--] I did. Not only did I depend on your kindness, but it was thrown back at you. All of these are a small token of my gratitude. I would've brought something even if the pot was not destroyed.
[When Sen gets things, she goes all out. Especially for someone as reliable as Mitsutada.]
no subject
Well, I'll accept it this time. [ Because she knows he'll definitely return it, whether in the form of food he's made or something else. ] Thanks for thinking of me.
[ it's going to be an endless cycle of giving each other things isn't it ]
i can't believe you used this icon on her goodbye
Good. [The way he words that though, she flushes slightly and then nods.] Of course, why wouldn't I think of you? [WAIT--] I mean, you're welcome.
[She clears her throat and tries to misdirect him, because that's embarrassing.] I hope you like the quality of the pot.
HEHEHEHE
Hey, you picked it. I'm sure it's excellent.
[ Is he hitting on you??? ]
Do you have plans for dinner? Kuri-kun should be back, but I don't think he'll mind.
[ he totally is going to but Details ]
R.I.P. we knew her well AHLKASJ
Well, I'm thankful I have your vote of confidence, it means a lot to me.
[Thank you Mitsutada for asking about dinner, she has something to latch onto without exploding!]
I have no plans. And, if Ookurikara doesn't mind and you have enough to eat? I wouldn't want to join and end up in the way.
[Though she'd end up trying to help even so, lbr.]
no subject
Now that dinner's out of the way, he settles himself on the seat at his table - sideways, with one arm resting on the back of the swivel chair. ]
So, how've you been?
[ Motioning for her to sit down on the other chair in the room. ]
no subject
She sits down as motioned, smoothing down her skirt to get comfortable.]
I have been well. Ah, well enough aside from fearing how you'd react earlier. [His disappointed face did break her heart, lbr.] My work load is not heavy either. What of yourself? I usually see you doing something everywhere.
no subject
[ At the mention of his schedule, he leans back a little. ]
I'm fine. It's good to keep busy, too. [ Not only is he on the university dorm equivalent of a student council, he's also ananc ltive member of the swimming team. ] If I just study all the time, I think I'd pass out eventually.
no subject
[She watches and listens, tilting her head slightly as she focuses.] Hard work pays off, but you're right, there needs to be some balance outside of study. [She smiles and nods.] I am sure everyone is grateful to you for it. And for all the exciting races you participate in.
[Sen then narrows her eyes slightly, she's not sure what she sees, but she gets up from her chair, just barely, to lean in to inspect Mitsutada's drying hair. Is there something...]
I just saw my typos WAILS
Well, as long as I can do the club proud, I'm fine with it.
[ And then his expression becomes a touch confused when she comes over. ]
Something in my hair?
shhh this is my life all the time /looks at own hands
She still listens to him as she now moves in closer. The way she answers is slightly unfocused, as her attention is now on his hair.] I am certain you do, everyone comes to watch and cheer. I do my best to support you.
I think, just let me...excuse me for being so forward. [She doesn't quite realise that their faces are inches away now as her fingers comb through his hair to to remove what looks to be...fluff? Feather? It must've come from the towel or blankets around him. All the while, she fixes his eyepatch just in case she moved it.]
cries a lot
She can also probably smell his perfume. ]
cries with now omg
Which was probably her first mistake, because the minor distraction has her push forward and the swivel chair turns so that she slips and falls onto him. This wouldn't have been a problem if not for the fact that her hands were behind his head, so now her arms are wrapped around his shoulders.
That and seeing how closer their faces are now. And she may have brushed lips, but she's not even sure because everything is racing through her mind right now.]
no I'm laughing at your suffering
In a rather hilarious contrast, his reaction to the unfolding trainwreck is remarkably undramatic. Being a very self-aware person, he's already braced himself in case she falls onto him (because hey, isn't this what always happens during shoujo mangas) so when she does, he quickly catches her so she wouldn't be too embarrassed.
Except she also accidentally kissed him, so that's foiled whatever efforts he was intending to do. And strangely it doesn't feel as weird as it should be, maybe even better - so he just does what any guy with a lack of self-preservation does.
Of course, he kisses her back, if only for about two seconds. Then it's back to getting shit in order, which means shoving himself off the chair and out of whatever questionable position they had accidentally landed in. And since he can actually be some sort of a little shit, he'll say nothing and just watch her reaction. ]
THIS TAG THOUGH
Honestly, she didn't expect what followed. Her accident wasn't very much a kiss (although who wouldn't want it to be), but his motion was. And so here she is, wide eyed and returning that kiss gently until he pulls back, and she's left wordless and in disbelief, looking up at him like she wasn't sure if she just imagined that.]
Mitsutada...I'm... [She swallows as the colour in her cheeks finally catches up to her.] I'm sorry, did I hurt you? [NOT WHAT SHE WANTED TO SAY.] I was too bold... [Much better.]
HEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHHEHEHHEHEHE
You're not being the bold one here, I think we can both agree.
[ He rests one elbow on the back of the chair and supports his chin with that hand. ]
So...
[ YOU KNOW WHAT HES TRYING TO GET AT, RIGHT ]
I'M STILL IN SHOCK
Only she's very awake, and she can see exactly what he's doing. Ah yes, he did initiate the second one.]
I suppose...this time yes, we were both involved.
[She drops her hands and tries to straighten herself and look at him. Even she's not oblivious enough to not see what he's trying to get at after they kissed, LORD.]
I...liked it. [She thought of better ways to say this but DAMMIT she is not the most smooth right now. If ever.]
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Well, I'm glad. [ HES JUST GONNA TAKE THAT AS NOT A REJECTION... ] Are you going to tell anyone?
[ His question can be interpreted in two ways - about what had just happened, or about the whole fact that they're kind of officially together now...???? ]
oh no now he's cute
Then I am relieved, because ah... [How to word I really like you without looking like a cheeseball.] I may have been watching you for a while. [This was an Attempt.
Sen sits down, because she really needs to find a good way to put this into words. What did he mean by tell anyone?]
Well, I wouldn't tell them I just fell on top of you. But if we...are...? [She might not be the most open of people, but she won't hide information about them being together either. It would be rather nice to say something about it, in a way.]
( ≖‿≖)
Mn, it's up to you, really. I'm fine with it either way. [ Chalk that up to his much higher resistance towards teasing from others. ]
But it'd be nice to get something to ward off unwanted attention - oh, but only if you're comfortable with it, of course.
[ HE ACTUALLY DOES NOTICE PEOPLE STARING AT HIM ON CAMPUS. legasp ]
cries again (this thread is just me crying, god)
Ah, you always have been popular. Do not worry, Mitsutada, I'll protect you. [Now that they're a thing, she's allowed to be a little more open. Selectively so. Still, she says this like it's a joke.
And then grows more serious.] Really though, I do not mind. I maybe shy, but I am honest. If it especially benefits you, I will tell them you are my boyfriend. [Thoughts: AJLLJAJLASJLKAS] Or significant other. I am unsure which term you would prefer.
