[ How is Kashuu still going for tsun gold when he's draped all over Souji and accepting headpats like a satisfied cat, Souji doesn't know. But he thinks it's funny and endearing at the moment, so he just grins. ]
[ And then looks confused as sakura petals suddenly flutter all over Kashuu's head??? That gets him to stop headpatting for a second, instead scooping up a petal and looking down at it. ]
[ It's a petal. From a flower. ]
[ ???? ]
[ He picks up a couple more, gathering them in his palm. He has half a mind to ask Kashuu about it, but even the appearance of random ass petals can't wholly convince him to disturb Kashuu's "quick" nap. He'll just tuck these into his sleeves and wait till Kashuu wakes up. ]
[It's a talent, being tsun as heck even when literally taking a nap against someone...
It seems that he really was feeling a little sleepy, since he stirs when the headpats stop but otherwise seems content to just stay where he is. It'll probably be an hour or so before he wakes up again... SO MUCH FOR "QUICK NAP".]
[ it's not like Souji has anything to do besides bum around in the city, so whatever chagrin a normal person might feel at being napped on for an hour doesn't even register for him. ]
[ Instead, Souji spends that hour doing very productive things, like looking at the petals and staring at the wall, then pinching Kashuu's nose to see if tsukumogami can sleep without needing to breathe. and to wake him up of course. ]
Kashuu does apparently need to breathe while he sleeps, or at least it's reflexive to him like it would be to a Real Human, because he makes an inelegant snorting noise and jerks awake as soon as his nose is pinched shut.]
Wha—?! [SNAPPING AWAKE but he's still groggy and his voice also sounds awful and nasally THANKS SOUJI.]
[ YOU WERE JUST ASLEEP don't get exhausted so fast ]
[ Souji pulls back his hand and shrugs, then he stretches his arms out in that sort of content 'i might as well be a cat because i look smug as fuck as one' way that Souji just has.... ]
I was checking to see if you were pretending. Just in case you're still embarrassed.
[Too late! He's an old man and he needs his naps!!]
—Embarrassed about what? Taking a nap? [Don't you talk about his tsun, Souji, DON'T DO IT. He huffs a little, reaching forward to jab Souji in the gut when he stretches out his arms.]
[ ugh don't jab him in the gut rudeass punk, Souji reaches out to wrap a hand around one of Kashuu's jabby elbows, squeezes it, then.... just rests his hand there okay. ]
An hour, maybe.
[ Maybe Souji dozed off a little, so sue him!! What else was he doing during that hour? Oh, right. He reaches into his sleeve and pulls out a handful of petals. ]
[HE'LL JAB SOUJI IN THE GUT TWENTY TIMES HARDER IF HE KEEPS TEASING HIM!!
But oh, looks like Sooj is still feeling The Unfortunate Cuddle Effects and Kashuu is too, which is why he still doesn't move that much even though he's clearly not going back to sleep any time soon.
That said - what the heck... He squints at the petals in mild confusion for a second, but things click soon enough AND BOY DOES HE FLUSTER FAST, reaching up to try batting them out of Souji's hand.]
[ 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!

ugh my new name
Kashuu does apparently need to breathe while he sleeps, or at least it's reflexive to him like it would be to a Real Human, because he makes an inelegant snorting noise and jerks awake as soon as his nose is pinched shut.]
Wha—?! [SNAPPING AWAKE but he's still groggy and his voice also sounds awful and nasally THANKS SOUJI.]
ur new superhero name
Oh? So you really were asleep.
[ As if Kashuu was faking it??? ]
ugh i just changed my plurk name, now its official
What the hell is that supposed to mean?! [Batting at Souji's hand!! FREE HIM, he's exhausted.]
oh my god
[ Souji pulls back his hand and shrugs, then he stretches his arms out in that sort of content 'i might as well be a cat because i look smug as fuck as one' way that Souji just has.... ]

[ h e h ]
POINTS AT EYES POINTS AT U a hero is born
—Embarrassed about what? Taking a nap? [Don't you talk about his tsun, Souji, DON'T DO IT. He huffs a little, reaching forward to jab Souji in the gut when he stretches out his arms.]
How long was I sleeping, anyway?
i was responsible for this
[ ugh don't jab him in the gut rudeass punk, Souji reaches out to wrap a hand around one of Kashuu's jabby elbows, squeezes it, then.... just rests his hand there okay. ]
An hour, maybe.
[ Maybe Souji dozed off a little, so sue him!! What else was he doing during that hour? Oh, right. He reaches into his sleeve and pulls out a handful of petals. ]
These were on you while you were sleeping.
i hope youre proud

Wow that's super weird—!?
I AM
[ 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 ]
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
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.]
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
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!
[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!
