...Ah. Hang on.

[ let him just...set the needle in his current seam sideways so he can find it, and put that aside. if it's about doing things properly, then - ]

I think the boots suit you, though?

[ - give him a moment to comment on that before he proceeds, giving keito his full attention instead of his work for the moment. ]

Sorry. Well, it isn't like I think I'm well-spoken or anything...but it isn't a demand I mind meeting. About this kind of response, doing it properly - I'm not really sure where to begin or end?

I should have figured a man like you would struggle with words.

[Keito sighs, putting his hands on his hips.]

"I don't mind it" is different from reciprocation, Kiryu. Start with that. Do you like me?

I wouldn't say yes to that kind of thing if I didn't...? Well, it isn't like I'll say something like "I follow you for that kind of reason", because AKATSUKI and this are separate things, more or less?

[ can he phone a friend. what the shit. kuro at least doesn't pick up his work again, fully intending to put it off for the time being until he manages to complete this properly, somehow.

...it'd help if he knew how to make a thing sound better than just saying it, but whatever. ]

But we've been together for a while now, in that, and it isn't like that hasn't shown me the kind of guy you are - sorry, you don't want an explanation, right? Then: hey, Hasumi. I like you.

Is that it?

[Keito's frown fades into a small smile. He may be blushing a bit, too? He desperately hopes Kuro doesn't notice. How embarrassing would that be?]

Yes. That's it.

[He takes it as permission, too, settling down beside Kuro. Maybe a bit too close? He figures he can afford to take the risk.]

Now you tell me why you like me in knee-high boots so much.

[ kuro doesn't shift away, although he does reach for kanzaki's uniform, fingers finding the needle again to thread it in and out, quick. he doesn't point out keito didn't say the words specifically, either, because it doesn't really bother him. ]

They suit you, didn't I say so? Besides, it's almost tradition now.

[He could push that issue–make Kuro give him the compliments he was fishing for–but he's already satisfied with the confession he forced out. For once, he'll be merciful.

He picks up the designs again, flipping through the pages, once, twice, three times, before stopping on Kuro's design for himself.]

And why can't you wearing them also become tradition? I think they'd suit you well, too.

[aka put them on idiot he wants to see you in them]

It might be a bit of a tight fit? It'll take me a little longer to actually get some for myself, but I don't really have an objection.

[ does he have an objection to anything much, here... ]

If it's like that, though, we may as well get Kanzaki to have them, too. He'll worry otherwise.

Not if we make him the center. The lead should always have differences in appearance to attract the audience's attention. You know that well enough. You've excelled at it since Akatsuki started.

[he maybe scoots a bit closer.] We need to stop spoiling him anyway. A forward position would prepare him for the difficulties he faces ahead.

[ofc he says that but will he really be able to stop himself from doting? no.]

It really isn't like I disagree, but when I see that guy floundering...

[ he sets the final stitches. ]

...Well, doesn't your body just move on its own?

[Keito sighs. So much for him trying to be a good parent.]

Of course it does. That expression he makes when he doesn't know what to do... I can't let a child flounder like that. Especially not one I've raised myself. There's nothing a parent hates more than their kid experiencing failure...

[And then, quickly, before Kuro can agree:] –Not that Kanzaki would fail anything! He's perfectly capable and hardworking!

...Yeah, well, that's why he's our child, isn't it...? Ah. Even if he did fail, I know he'd get up on his own two feet, but I think probably the thing we have in common the most...isn't it being busybodies?

[Keito smiles.]

You're right. I suppose if we've taught him anything it's to not let our mistakes get in the way of moving forward. Or... overworking, I suppose.

[he chuckles, watching kuro work that last stitch.]

[ once the last stitch is set, he will at least put the costume aside - carefully, of course - and direct his attention fully on keito again? ]

Come to think of it, I'm surprised you had time to run around lookin' for me, Hasumi.

[omfg]

I didn't. [his face falls flat.] I make time for what I want. You just made it more of a hassle than it should have been.

[he pokes his chest as punishment!!!] If you didn't spread yourself so thin I would have managed just fine.

Ah? If that's the case, what do you need me to do, Hasumi? I'll help you out.

[ he doesn't mind the chest poke, oops. ]

...And next time, you can text me, you know? I'll always do my best to reply, or at least listen.

I'm not going to confess over text, Kiryu.

[he sounds so genuinely offended]

Ah...? Well, I meant you could just text me to come meet up with you, really. You know Kanzaki and I would both come immediately if you asked it.

I... [ah. he's blushing a bit. he turns away to hide it.] I was afraid it'd be too obvious. Or... put you in a position where you felt you had to accept.

...Ah, well, I wouldn't have thought much of it other than assuming it was about AKATSUKI, really. But...at the very least I can assure you I wouldn't accept this kind of thing without wanting to...? That'd be rude to the other person, y'know.

Given the other things I've asked you to do, can you blame me for taking precautions?

I agreed to do those things. Whatever regrets I have, they're not yours, you know? And it's not like I've ever followed you out of anything other than my own will...even if I have regrets, they're for choices I made on my own.

And you won't regret this one?

[that's really all he wants to know... he feels guilty enough harboring feelings towards kuro after everything he's done to him. the thought of hurting him past that...

without thinking, he places his hand on top of kuro's and squeezes. just a bit.]

[ he flips his hand over, casual. ]

...Nah. If you say you're all right with a guy like me, then I'll believe those words, you know? Even if I don't understand them. And you're the kind of guy people follow into hell...well, that doesn't have a lot to do with this, though.

Well, let's hope I don't drag you there.

[Stupid... His logic so stupidly, wonderfully simple. Keito can't help but smile. It's moments like this that make Kuro strangely irresistible.

So much so he can't hold himself back.

Scrunching his eyes closed, he leans in hesitantly and places a small, timid kiss on Kuro's cheek.

It leaves his heart racing so fast he thinks he may pass out.]

[ keito what the hell. that's cute. ]

...Hey, Hasumi. Is that sort of thing all right, then?
