[ He won't question because he figures everyone has their own friendships anyway but, what, ]
How come I never noticed?! How long have they been together? And— [ His mind slowly expands... ] Who else is dating, for that matter?! I thought the only other ones besides you and me were Ginger and Mika-chan...
[ sorry he's laughing a bit, that surprise is too cute. ]
Unofficially? My guess is around the time Mikaela got too nosy with me. Officially, after Central's mission.
[ said with zero shame. ]
Aside from them...something might be going on with Malice and Yamato, but I've been preoccupied with other things, so it's just a guess.
[ they were being very obvious during the ghost's great gay possession, but khun was very laser focused then. he's still good at reading Vibes in general though. ]
[ what the hell happened on Central mission that birthed a Central-only couple...
Tatara stares at Khun blankly for a moment, blinks twice, and then slowly speaks. ]
Oh... Is that why Yamato came to me asking for ways to feed vampires human food? I thought he was just worried about Mika-chan. [ You know, since they're country mates and all? ] I didn't know it was actually about Malice...
[ oh? he grins like a shark that's scented blood. ]
I change my approximation to highly likely then. [ taking a big bite of his onigiri and chewing. there's no exceedingly dumbface this time, but he is eating it with a different kind of relish. ]
I'm somewhat familiar with Malice, but I have no idea what type of person he'd be interested in. Yamato is fun to tease, though.
Mmhmm, don't ruin it. [ poking his cheek. don't talk with your mouth full! ]
No, I want regular omurice. With a ketchup decoration. [ ahh, it's weird how he was able to say that so easily? this stupid, stupid thing he's kept to himself for so long. he pulls tatara closer for that, though he doesn't say why. ]
[ Hehe! Fine, he'll shut his mouth and eat his food. He'll even wait until he's swallowed to talk. ]
Okay. [ In contrast, Tatara takes the request easy, nodding in earnest as he adds it to his list of things to give to Khun. ] What decoration do you want?
[ And now that he's closer, he'll kiss him on the cheek. ] Or do you trust me enough to surprise you?
I trust you. [ again, something he shouldn't be able to say so easily or at all. it brings a smile to his lips and he brushes his fingertips where he was just kissed, his smile fond and smitten. ]
Tatara, that makes it sound like you're going to create a new animal just for me.
[ not that he'd mind anything really. he leans in to return the kiss to his boyfriend's cheek belatedly, and then leans back to flop on the blanket, hands behind his head. ]
It has to look like an animal or it doesn't count. [ no giving him a blob and trying to pass it off as a slime! even now.
a poke...like this, his only defense is to try to nip in retaliation, but this position doesn't afford him much leverage (but it comes with a great view), so he only manages to brush his lips against his boyfriend's finger instead. ]
[ Tatara sticks his lower lip out in an exaggerated pout. ] What? I thought you trusted me!
[ Of course he'll make it look like a real animal... smh ...
It's hard to keep the smile to himself when Aguero kisses his finger, though. His little pout dissipates and he begins gently tapping his finger on Aguero's lips. They're so soft. ]
You. Your heart, maybe.
[ He has no idea, with his made-up competition in his mind. But he'll take this prize. ]
[ aguero just winks in response to the pout, he does trust him but it's still fun to tease him. that and somethings are really reflex, heh.
he lets his eyes slide closed so he's less likely to lose his battle to his impulses, but it only helps a little. finger kisses are totally continuing to happen at random intervals. ]
You already have those. Don't cheat yourself either~.
[ he might just be interested in finding out what other things his boyfriend likes. ]
[ Aguero closes his eyes, the finger kisses still come, but it's considerably less fun when he gets to poke at him, metaphorically, to keep egging him on. Eventually he stops, his finger falling back in line with the rest of his fingers, and he makes himself comfortable on Aguero's chest. He lets his own eyes slip shut, and he exhales. ]
The competition between you and me, then? You keep surprising me... I think it's about time I win something.
[ There isn't really a competition, and they're not really in the business of one-upping each other anyway. There's a playful tone in Tatara's voice that suggests he's joking. ]
[ he cracks open one eye, yawning as he starts to get lulled by the familiar weight on his chest and the atmosphere. he really is used to napping in the afternoon now...]
Okay, if you win I'll make you something. It won't be food though, because I'm not interested in poisoning my boyfriend.
[ Oh. Aguero's yawn draws one out of Tatara, and he wiggles around on top of him to get even more comfortable. This is the perfect place for a nap, and he knows Aguero is sturdy enough to support him, so he shan't move. ]
Mm. Even if it is food, I'd still eat it. [ He exhales deep, the calming scents of all the things he loves in the world easing his mind into a doze. ] Because I think I like everything you make.
[ ahh if they're committing to a nap now, then aguero takes a moment to readjust himself with some use of magic, summoning a pillow so he can free his arms to drape loosely around his boyfriend. much better. ]
No getting poisoned, even from me. [ repeated, a light squeeze to emphasize his point before he closes his eyes for good. ]
It'll be a bit, it's been a while since I've done any... [ he's not explaining more than that, but that is an admission that tatara is going to win in the future, so it's fair enough. also he's drowsy and fading into the edges of sleep so they can continue this conversation in their dreams. ]
[ If Tatara were a wizard, this would be his mana area.
He chuckles lightly, and then hums in approval. He doesn't even question the end of that sentence, about what he means, because a part of his imagination is already filling in the blanks. Or maybe that's Aguero himself, as they chat in their dreams. ]

I've talked to Malice a bit, and he's nice. So is Yamato.
[ He reaches for another tomato and pops it in his mouth. ]
They're probably cute together! I've gotta keep an eye out for next time...
[ Because now this is a thing they do, which is gossip about other couples.
Tatara leans up against Khun with a little hum. ]
I still think you're the best, though.
no subject
You're the best too. But these omurice onigiri are really helping.
no subject
Are they? Are they making me more handsome in your eyes?
[ Noted. He'll grab one for himself and eagerly bite into it. ]
Should I make more when we get back?
[ Talking with his mouth full because of course he does, ]

Now you'll have no way to know what animal you'll get. And I win. [ hehehehe >:D ]
