[ It's only through cheating vampire instincts that Souji closes his hand around the petals and yanks his hand out of reach from Kashuu's batting, expression pulled into one of surprise ]
[ But then his eyes kind of squint at him, and he starts to smile for reasons he doesn't even know why only that Kashuu is FLUSTERING FAST ]
It is kind of strange. [ Souji AGREES ] I'm pretty sure they just appeared out of nowhere too.
[ he's looking at you kashuu, he's looking at you with squinty eyes of suspicion ]
[That's a good question! When will he get his compliments, Souji!!]
I— Don't say something like that with such a straight face!!
[AAAH GOD HE'S TIRED. He's also trying to pry Souji's fingers open but he's not using his Maximum Sword Strength because even now he's not actually that fussed about it. Otherwise he'd have probably just broken Souji's hand like a sane person.]
[It's spared for now but who knows if that'll last.
But oh shit why didn't he think of that from the start-- Why didn't he just try to write them off more intelligently instead of like a fool!! Kashuu's hands still, so Souji's fingers will be spared from further prying...]
They're— No, you're totally right! They're just flowers! So - I mean, whatever!
I said it now, didn't I? [ time to RUMBLE ] Anyway, I've been keeping myself busy. I just go out at night and beat up troublemakers, so getting sparring partners isn't a big priority.
[ Asking Kashuu has crossed his mind a couple of times, but Souji was a little reluctant to ask Kashuu, especially after sparring with Yamato and then getting dumped when the tsukumogami disappeared. IT'S NOT LIKE HE CARES OR ANYTHING, it's just troublesome to end up getting attached and... well. it's not like he was really that attached anyway. whatever. ugh. feelings. ]
[Good, please just let him win this round. JUST BE MERCIFUL FOR FIVE SECONDS SOUJI.]
That's stupid. [Why is Kashuu like this...] If you have time to waste on people like that, spend some more with me!
[In the dojo, he means, but apparently he doesn't feel the need to clarify despite how much of an embarrassing embarrassment he's been for like three hours straight?! He's also just going to totally disregard poor Souji's inner turmoil over Friendship and bulldoze his way through too, apparently.]
the real reason im dust is bc i tag after 99 months
[HE IS HAPPY even if he's also briefly surprised at first... He didn't think it would be that easy?! Moreover, Souji actually agreeing somehow brings the tsuntsun streak back for a mild encore... He quickly ducks his head to hide his face, flustered all over again.]
I wouldn't say it if I didn't, so... [So there!!] Geez!
I AM

GOOD!!!
Yeah, so weird! Super weird! But they're probably not important so you shouldn't keep 'em around or anything so—!!
[AGH he's got to destroy evidence that he had a dere moment.]
no subject
Why shouldn't I keep them around? [ HMMMM?? ] They might not be important, but they're pretty. I like them.
[ why can Souji compliment flowers and not people like Kashuu just as easily ]
no subject

no subject
Why not? They're just flowers.
[ And they are pretty. even if Kashuu is trying to pry his hand open like a clam... ]
Unless they're not, and they appeared for a specific reason.
no subject

[Whatever.]
no subject
I see. So if I ask your comrades and Kure-kun about these, they'll say the same?
[ he'll ask them ]
no subject
He also makes a high-pitched shrieky whine noise like he's transforming into zubat or something.]
Don't ask them—!! I'll beat you up!
[The height of tsundom...]
no subject
Oh? You're either really embarrassed or pretty confident if you're challenging me to a fight.
[ the fact that it wasn't a challenge ISN'T IMPORTANT. ]
But that's fine with me. I've been wanting to spar with you for a while now.
no subject
—That isn't the point at all... [Souji?! Stop being bloodthirsty and ready to rumble for like 5 seconds.
That said, this is clearly a great opportunity to change the subject, so!!]
If you wanna spar, why haven't you said so?
no subject
he shrugs though ]

but mmmm thanks to Souji getting hit by the touch everyone bug, this idea doesn't seem as bad as Souji used to think it was??? haha weird. ]
Okay. If that's what you really want.
[ just that. THERE, BE HAPPY KASHUU ]
DUST IN THE WIND.....
I wouldn't say it if I didn't, so... [So there!!] Geez!
