Fuda # 23 | [video/Action] Event!

Draco, would it be possible for us to postpone the you-know-what? I have something that I need to do first. Thanks!

[Once the video message is over, Tsuzuki closes his journal.]

[It's not often he visits the library. It's often stuffy and too quiet, and he never remembers enough authors to consider the rows of books a treasure trove the way his partner does. However, today he is in luck. On the window sill, a sparrow tends to its nest, feeding three little baby-birds.]

[On the branch some feet away, a bird of prey watched the scene, just as interested as Tsuzuki.]

That isn't going to end well.

Tsuzuki! [He'll turn back in the same direction, taking care to stay out of arm's length.] ..Please don't be upset with me.

I'm not upset. [He's not even going to care enough to wait for Hisoka to catch up.] I'm just sick of the way you treat me.

You've never been this upset about it before. [And he's genuinely been trying to change this week! Haven't you noticed, partner? D:]

Get off my case, Hisoka. I'm doing what you wanted. [Namely, giving his partner enough rope to hang himself with. He has noticed that Hisoka's been more helpful lately, but he's also noticed how often he pushes him away. It makes his blood boil for some reason, and he's not happy about it.]

Tsuzuki, you kissed me. What did you expect me to do?

I don't know. Maybe not scream and run away? I mean, am I that horrible to be close to?

You know that's not what it was about.

But it was. The rest were just excuses.

Is that what you think it is? Excuses? [He is tearing up over that WHY ARE THERE TEARS.]

Yes.

[He looks on coldly. Hisoka can't possibly be crying over that. He refuses to believe it.]

[Whimpering, he catches up to Tsuzuki only to pull himself close. Is it okay to cry into your shirt, partner? Please?]

[Cry at your own risk, wimp. Tsuzuki tilts his head, putting his hands in his pockets.]

Why are you crying now?

[He mumbles something about how he doesn't make excuses and how much it hurts that Tsuzuki would think less of him.]

[Of course it should hurt. Tsuzuki's opinion is worth a lot, at least according to himself. He sighs, placing his hand on Hisoka's head. He can't blame him for wanting his approval.]

You little idiot. Don't get snot on my shirt.

[He nods and sniffs, wiping his eyes on the back of his sleeve.]

..My.. my apologies for disrespecting you today. [He breaks contact long enough to bow apologetically.]

[That's not bad, as far as apologies go. Ego stroked, Tsuzuki decides that he can be gracious for the time being.]

That's fine, as long as you're not planning on doing it again.

[He shakes his head solemnly]

I won't. I promise.

[He places a hand on Hisoka's shoulder sternly.] Remember that you promised. If you break it, I will be very disappointed in you.

[The chill in Tsuzuki's eyes makes his heart sink.] I'll do my best.

[Convinced that Hisoka gets the point, Tsuzuki smiles amiably, like he's used to doing in the office. It doesn't mean he's feeling any less chilling.] Let's go for our walk, then. I'm hungry.

[He keeps as much of a distance as he can with Tsuzuki grabbing him like that.] Maybe we can find you a cinnabon. Those always make you happy.

[That only makes the chase more fun. :|] That's a good idea. The bakery has some amazing ones.

[No it doesn't. :(] Good. I'd rather see you feeling better.

[That depends on one's point of view. Tsuzuki grins slyly.] I don't recall you caring this much about my happiness. What happened?

I stopped trying to pretend I don't feel anything. Isn't that what you always wanted?
