[ It's a good thing Souji's awake at ass o'clock like he always is. It's also a good thing that he's used to Kashuu coming over to crash, so he looks at this text and doesn't automatically suspect Kashuu's ulterior headpat intentions. ]
[ Also, oddly enough, he's in the mood for company. Weird... he sends a quick reply.]
If you want. I don't have any plans tonight anyway.
[That makes it sound like he's some evil mastermind plotting to harvest all the worlds headpats before anyone else can get their share...]
OK I'll be there in like 10 then!
[YAY.
And true to his word, Souji will hear a knock on his door about ten or fifteen minutes later. Kashuu is here and he isn't leaving until he gets his headpats.]
[ "isn't leaving until he gets his headpats" that sounds a lot like what an evil mastermind would say ]
[ It's a good thing Souji barely owns any decor because ten minutes is not enough time to tidy up the place. His futon's still laid out and the dishes are still in the sink, bachelor pad style. But he's dressed and doesn't look like a disheveled hobo (yet), so Souji opens the door for Kashuu, blinking down at him. ]
...You really aren't sleepy at all, are you?
[ Kashuu's an eager nut 2nite... But that's not necessarily a bad thing, so Souji steps back to let him in. ]
"WHERE ARE MY HEADPANTS SOUJI" as the neighbors stare
[STOP HE TRIES HIS BEST. To, you know... not be an evil mastermind.]
I'm not sleepy often, you know.
[The benefit of being a sword and all... But! Once he's invited in, he trots his way through the door like he owns the place, not bothered by the dishes or the futon since that clearly just adds to the lived-in charm. There's only one qualm he has, and it's probably the 50th time he's brought it up--]
[ souji replies in his usual teasing manner, though he shakes his head at the exclamation he's heard at least 50 times already!? ]
I still haven't found a good reason to.
[ look he's too lazy and not enough of an interior decorator. He closes the door and looks around his sad apartment, apparently not seeing a problem with it. Which is also sad. ]
[ FUN more like SAD??? While Kashuu's spinning around, Souji pulls out an extra seat cushion onto the floor (which is practically Kashuu's, considering how rare other people visit him). ]
It's not like I'd look at them even if I had some. They probably sell pictures of weird things here, anyway.
[ Like three-headed ducklings or Cerealia foliage. Or whatever they sell down in the pleasure district... Souji reaches out to tug lightly on Kashuu's ponytail. A totally normal and justified action here. ]
Are you gonna stand around and nag some more or are you gonna sit?
But despite being a little surprised by the gesture - which he doesn't mind too much since it was a light tug, at least... PUNK - he'll huff and settle down onto his cushion without further prompting.]
They sell normal pictures, too. You really haven't looked at all if you don't even know that!
[WHICH TOTALLY SETTLES THINGS. He nods once decisively.]
[ Look, that is the exact reason why Souji's so unsure. So he shoots Kashuu a look that's like "ominous" at first and then turns into a puzzled sort of squint at Kashuu. ]
[ It's not like Souji doesn't understand the gesture, but for now he takes it as a "sit down punk" and not a "sit down next to me punk". ]
Don't you want something to drink first?
[ Souji may lack the manners normal people have, but he knows his guest etiquette. Lucky for Kashuu!! ]
[Why choose now to flash that guest etiquette badge, Souji?? NO, HE DOESN'T WANT TEA OR JUICE OR WATER. He wants to scratch this awful itch that the constant need for companionship and headpats has left him with!!]
[AAAA FUCK OFF SOUJI HE KNOWS YOU'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE!!!!!
Kashuu just gives him a look... A discomforted, displeased look!! Because one option here is straight-up saying that he wanted to sit by Souji, not across from him, and - it's not like he's usually tongue-tied when it comes to the things he wants! Only when it involves a certain, very few people, ah...
So he hems and he haws for a few, and then eventually just
stands
and picks up his cushion
and moves it over riiight next to where Souji's put his
[ EXCUSE HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING ON PURPOSE. He might have actually just meant to sit there because that's how it always is whenever Kashuu comes over! And then Souji's face creases into his usual smile. ]
If you wanted me to sit next to you, then you should have said it out loud.
[ It's more contact than Souji's used to from Kashuu, even if Kashuu is naturally kind of touchy, so maybe he should feel awkward. Especially for Souji, who values his own space and gets tetchy when people touch him without his say-so. ]
[ This is strange, Souji thinks, even as he leans into Kashuu a little in response. It's strange, but it doesn't feel that way. Anyway, something like this hardly qualifies as touching. Maybe that's why. ]
[ The longer they stay like this, the more Souji is tempted to pet Kashuu like he would a cat tbh. ]
So, are you happy now?
[ Are you happy that you're sitting next to him, Kashuu ]
[What the heck, no one's brought the tsun out in full force like this in 100 years, and yet - here they are?! Good work, Souji.
He's also at pretty perfect range for headpats, okay. Please do. Please give into that temptation because he's even leaning his head toward Souji a little (though that's actually less a plea for pats and more because he wants to see if he can get away with resting it on Souji's arm.)]
[HE'S DEFINITELY EMBARRASSED and he's just making it worse for himself, honestly?! UGH.
But.
He's also 100% going for the bronze and laying his head there. Aw yeah, mission success - even if Souji's shoulders are shaking and it makes for a bit of a bumpy pillow, THAT'S FINE. He feels more content now.]
[ At least his shoulders aren't shaking from violent coughs, small mercies. ]
[ Anyway, his laughing fit caused by Kashuu's Tsun finally subsides, even though Kashuu's protests are totally lame because he's obviously embarrassed. Souji shifts just a little, but only to press in closer so they're both more comfortable. Then he raises his hand, the free one, to hover in front of Kashuu's face and ]
[ flicks him lightly on the forehead. ]
At least you're not letting it stop you.
[ Stop Kashuu from being touchy, he means. He only has a vast amount of respect for people who do things they're totally embarrassed by. Like Hijikata when he's writing bad poetry. ]
No okay ugh, what the heck, that's not the headpat he wanted. His nose scrunches up, but he just turns his face in toward Souji's arm instead to keep his IRRITATING HAND AT BAY. Rude.]
I said I'm not embarrassed, okay! It's just-- I just, like... [Ah, that's when you know the tsuntsun streak has been riled. When he actually has trouble articulating things...]
...I mean, it's not like I mind being able to come visit you or anything! But it would be nice if you weren't always so, like, over there! While I'm over here!
[THIS IS AWFUL. AWFUL BECAUSE YES!! BUT ALSO NO! BUT ALSO, YES.]
I— [HNGH. UGH. He's choking up. His words are getting stuck. Is this what Lili feels like all the time?? He pulls away and shoves Souji instead because he's five years old.]
Maybe! I just like being by your side, that's all!
[ but wow, Kashuu said it. the most embarrassing thing Souji has heard from someone to date. Even more embarrassing than some of the things Chizuru has said. Congratulations, Kashuu. You're an otome heroine, but the tsun kind. ]

headpants time
[ Also, oddly enough, he's in the mood for company. Weird... he sends a quick reply.]
If you want. I don't have any plans tonight anyway.
[ basically, yeah come on over cashew nut. ]
UGH HIS HEADPANTS
OK I'll be there in like 10 then!
[YAY.
And true to his word, Souji will hear a knock on his door about ten or fifteen minutes later. Kashuu is here and he isn't leaving until he gets his headpats.]
ugh kashuu outside the door yelling for headpants
[ It's a good thing Souji barely owns any decor because ten minutes is not enough time to tidy up the place. His futon's still laid out and the dishes are still in the sink, bachelor pad style.

You still haven't decorated!
UGH the real reason why souji gets evicted
[ souji replies in his usual teasing manner, though he shakes his head at the exclamation he's heard at least 50 times already!? ]
I still haven't found a good reason to.
[ look he's too lazy and not enough of an interior decorator. He closes the door and looks around his sad apartment, apparently not seeing a problem with it. Which is also sad. ]
this is what he gets...
[Sometimes he'll have a snack with Tsurumaru, because they're both plagued by nightmares. FUN.
He looks around the area again though, spinning in a circle and glancing around the place.]
Not even any pictures or anything? I mean, come ooon! That's the bare minimum!
thanks

ur welcome comrade...

UGh what a tsungumi
I see. So in other words, you want to be around me more often.
[ Good thing Souji didn't get hit by the tsun bug. He can say all these embarrassing things with a straight face. ]
HE'S THE BIGGEST TSUNGUMI for now...
I— [HNGH. UGH. He's choking up. His words are getting stuck. Is this what Lili feels like all the time?? He pulls away and shoves Souji instead because he's five years old.]
Maybe! I just like being by your side, that's all!
[INTERNAL SCREAMING.]
"for now" 1/2
[ but wow, Kashuu said it. the most embarrassing thing Souji has heard from someone to date. Even more embarrassing than some of the things Chizuru has said. Congratulations, Kashuu. You're an otome heroine, but the tsun kind. ]
