[Tenka comes home the morning after all the madness only after Shirasu called him out. And he's tired. He's tired and he's exhausted and honestly not much of a morning person, despite all the comparisons people make between him and the sun.

Either way, he's trudging his way into their home now and going to sit in front of their low coffee table, joining his partner.

Then because maybe, just maybe these past three days have been hard on him-]

So I woke up alone this morning.

That was nice.

[Are you ashamed yet, partner.]

Comments

[deontology]

You have a strange definition of "good times".

[... no, Tenka's not wrong.

But...... well. Maybe they've been living in the bittersweet for too long.]

[sunshrouded]

And you're still incapable of a smile.

[But Tenka doesn't seem offended. Rather, he seems like... well, he does believe in it for a moment.

Right now, he's sharing a drink with his partner and happily watching as Sousei goes along with weird topics of conversation.

It's a good time.]

Just trust me that this is a good time, partner.

[deontology]

I'm not incapable.

[It's just not a smile-worthy moment, okay!!! What do you think this is, post-canon?

Nonetheless, Sousei just nods after a brief pause, because admittedly... he's not willing to argue it. That must mean that it's a good time.]

Yes, I suppose it is.

[Soramaru is gone--but he must be home. They will save him from the Orochi there. And it will be fine--there will be good times again.]

[sunshrouded]

Wait--

[And here is where Tenka is putting his cup down on the table with a clatter as he leans in intently with a look of surprise.]

Did you just let me have that one?!

[deontology]

[..............]

Now I am regretting it.

[sunshrouded]

But you did!

[And he's back to grinning that dumb big grin of his.]

Sousei, Sousei, why don't you drink with me more?! Then we can have more good times!

[deontology]

I'm not interested in drinking with you more.

[...no, that's not quite right.]

... I'm not interested in drinking at all. I don't have the time for this.

[or, well...usually he doesn't.

Here, he does, which is kind of grating.]

[sunshrouded]

Liar, you're not the one who works evenings.

[aka he totally knows that you do.]

You really still just don't know how to loosen up....

[deontology]

[...]

Maybe I don't.

[Maybe he doesn't know how to loosen up, but--]

I don't think that's a problem.

[sunshrouded]

It's not a problem, it's just kind of boring.

[Except.... well, he remembers when Sousei was yandere so after a pause, he adds-]

Though you've been much worse.

[deontology]

[.... .... .. he doesn't want to think about that, okay.

He actually grimaces at that, picking up his drink.

Nope. Not drunk enough to deal with that.]

That was not me. This is how I am.

[properly. The real Sousei. Boring. You're welcome.]

[sunshrouded]

[That just manages to get Tenka to laugh again.]

Yeah, I guess you're better this way.

[He guesses.]

[deontology]

[and dryer than the sahara desert--]

I'm glad you think so.

[sunshrouded]

[so genuinely as it's probably a coin toss as to whether or not he caught the tone-]

You're welcome!

[deontology]

I'm not grateful to you.

[SLAMS THAT DOWN]

[sunshrouded]

[and now he just looks sad but

probably not because of expected reasons]

Lying isn't a good habit, Sousei-kun....

[deontology]

[WHY....]

Shut up.

[what are you even talking about HE'S NOT GRATEFUL. AT ALL. for this particular thing anyway]

I don't want to hear a lecture from you.

[sunshrouded]

Pfffft.

As if you haven't tried to lecture me every day since we got here.

I see why people get confused and try to call you Sousei-dono.

[cONFUSED]

[deontology]

[confused???????

... though that distracts him enough and/or presents him with an alternative option here]

You have met Okamoto Katsushiro, then.

[sunshrouded]

[Yes, but they haven't talked about Sousei.

Yet that also makes sense.]

Is that the brat that thinks he knows better than me?

Yeah I guess I can see why he'd stick to you. You're both too serious and kind of jerks.

[deontology]

[he snorts quietly under his breath]

You do not take well to not being listened to.

[...]

I am not certain when you developed these delusions of grandeur, but I am certain they were not taught to us.

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . . . ]

What did you just say?!

[RUDE AS HELL

PEOPLE LISTEN TO HIM, IT'S JUST A THING

guess who's not used to not being the rule, whatever that means]

[deontology]

You heard me.

[he's not intimidated by you!!!]

You are not always right, you know. Do not try to protect everyone here if they do not want it.

It's insulting.

[Katsushiro is trying to be a fighter in his own right.

It'd be like telling Takeda to stay behind. Instead the Yamainu very carefully make sure he doesn't see most of the fighting...DIFFERENCE]

[sunshrouded]

Ah? Should I let everyone be as reckless as you then?

[listen he's still not over Sousei trying to fight a giant invincible ghost

even though he's the one who got injured in the end from that]

[deontology]

I know my limits.

[JEEZE.]

I know what I'm doing.
