[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

[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.

[sunshrouded]

[do you see this face sousei

this is the face of someone who doesn't believe]

I'm gonna get another scar because of you one of these days.

[deontology]

[He scowls in return at that face and the words.]

I'm not asking you to. I'll take the consequences of my own actions.

[okay

he'll get his own scars.]

[sunshrouded]

[And Tenka just huffs faintly at that and as if it's the most obvious thing in the world-]

Of course you won't ask.

[But he'd defend and jump in the line of fire for Sousei any day anyway.

It's kind of a given, he thinks.]

[deontology]

[...is that how it is. For a moment, Sousei looks as though he's swallowed a lemon. He doesn't want Tenka to jump in the line of fire for him. He knows that defending each other just comes with being partners, so he can't say anything about that, and yet...]

It seems you are always the one being harmed.

[That's not fair. It's not that Sousei wants to be injured--anything but, really.

But he's tired of seeing Tenka in pain too.]

[sunshrouded]

Bad luck?

[Or maybe Tenka has a habit of being more likely to jump in the way because it's what he's always done. Cuts and wounds are things he's never had a problem handling - his pain tolerance is remarkable.

But regardless he just empties his cup yet again to avoid thinking about why his pain tolerance is so high.]

You know I prefer that over the alternative.

[deontology]

[...yeah, he knows.

But it's still not fair. He just sighs at that, lifting his cup in return.]

And still you place your preferences over mine.

[selfish jerk]

You've always been that troublesome.

[sunshrouded]

[Tenka just laughs faintly at that, amused.

Troublesome? Yeah, he knows. To the people who are closest to him, isn't he always a bit of a burden? They're the ones he owes the most to. Always.]

Your patience is wasted on me, partner.

[deontology]

That doesn't matter.

[oh]

You are who I've decided to waste it on.

[well..........it is what it is. He knows Tenka rarely listens to him and causes him troubles but...he's his partner.]

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . . . . oh.

admittedly tenka is confused

and also hammered

hence why he's openly critical-]

Shouldn't it to be someone more deserving then?

[you can still??? change your mind????]

[deontology]

[And Sousei just arches an eyebrow at him at that. Why wasn't that enough? That should have been enough. Don't make this gayer, Tenka.]

You're Kumou Tenka, aren't you?

[WELL???]

[sunshrouded]

[that's not enough because tenka doesn't understand]

Last I checked, yeah.

[whAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING

if only tenka's ego was actually as big as he made it out to be]

[deontology]

Then you deserve it.

[simple as that.

because you're kumou tenka]

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . . . . . .

sometime in the morning Tenka will process that statement

but for right now he's just putting both of his arms on the table between them and squinting as he leans forward]

Sousei.

You're drunk.

[deontology]

[He reaches across the table

plants his hand on tenka's face

and shoves a little]

So are you.

[sunshrouded]

[and that's how Tenka ends up on the floor

completely teetered over and laughing]

Buhaha!

That's right!!

[deontology]

[.......god you're so drunk.

So is he.

He can feel it, really, even if he can't really....care....much....

He doesn't move.]

Don't wake Nishiki.

[She's still here....]

[sunshrouded]

[You can not move, Sousei.

But Tenka is now rolling on the floor. Vaguely. Sort of.

Whatever, he's trying to get next to his partner, even though he feels like the room is tilting a lot.]

Nishiki-chan is a good girl. She won't hit us for drinking like Soramaru would.

[deontology]

[the hell are you doing, tenka.... he just watches vaguely, squinting]

That doesn't mean you should wake her up.

[...]

Soramaru would not hit me.

[he ~respects~ him too much]

[sunshrouded]

[prepping for some more drunk bonding, apparently

either way he rights himself

sort of

next to Sousei but then he's slumping onto the table and turning his head to look at his partner before smiling lazily]

He might still hit you. Depends on how much sake we drink.

[deontology]

[JUST

INSISTING!!!]

He would not hit me.

[god he's so drunk. but this is. so important right now.]

[sunshrouded]

[you can insist but now tenka's just]

Then I could hit you!

[deontology]

I'll hit you back.

[fair warning]

[sunshrouded]

You never let me have any fun.
