( r6 ) talking-head: minami.
Minami is invited to take a seat right in front of the cameras, while the overseer smiles at them brightly and waves.
And asks them questions, of course.
They don't have to answer truthfully, but they should be aware that every single last thing they're saying might very well end up in the final cut.
Have fun!
no subject
Does anyone else have these problems??? These are surely not normal problems to have. Two weeks ago his biggest problems were physics and learning his lines.
Ah well. Nothing to be done about it than to do his best, right? He should take advantage of the lack of fear he feels and just--ask.]
... Are you going to eat my soul?
[Not now. Not here, obviously. Tsukasa's pretty sure he can't die while he's the host anyway. Wild thoughts, but something that doesn't bother him too much. But... Eventually? At some point? Is that the endgame here, or...?]
/2
You're asking me that now? [ it's not annoyed or mad, but simply incredulous. ]
no subject
quietly and without any cadence, bare, naked and true: ]
I wanted to, but I don't want to anymore. I'd miss you too much. [ even if he's perfect. even if minami thinks he's exactly what he needs to solve the very real problem he came here to solve.
he's a failure of an incubus and seiya's words from long ago ring in his ears. he puts his head down and tries to smother himself in the blanket because he couldn't even try to project from that part of himself that's supposed to be good at this. but how could he when just seconds ago he wasn't the one pressing more kisses against their lips? that part of him has never known what it's like to be genuinely liked by someone. to be wanted in a way that wasn't power or lust. ]
no subject
So... that's how it is, then.
All of this did start because Minami had been sizing him up for his soul. He'd thought maybe it was something like that--arrogant and self-absorbed enough to think that yes, of course his soul would be enticing. Not that he wants to lose it, of course! He needs that. But, well. The thought had crossed his mind, had made the words catch in his throat the first time he'd been prepared to ask that question.
... "I'd miss you too much."
... Huh. Now that makes his heart skip a beat, and he can't help the way he laughs, a little giddy. Minami... please!]
You can't smother yourself after saying something like that.
[This would make... a really, really good story for a play, wouldn't it? He tucks that thought away, considering the looks the others would give him for pitching a romance for once.]
Minami. Hey.
no subject
he peeks his head up a little. that's the best he can do, solely because tsukasa said his name like that and minami has never once in his life, been able to resist shiny things. ]
no subject
There's probably a lot more going on here, right? There's a lot he still needs to figure out and understand about demons, and Minami specifically, and the whole situation. But... one thing at a time, especially since Minami doesn't exactly look like he's up to talking.
So it's tomorrow's problem, or the day after.
For now, Minami lifts his head up a little, and Tsukasa... reaches out to poke him in the cheek, like he's done to Tsukasa so many times. Hmmm...... very gentle payback.]
To be honest, that makes me really happy to hear.
no subject
but hearing he made tsukasa happy doesn't entirely suck. some of it might be good? he thinks that's what this feeling is but he has no idea what he's doing. ]
Yeah? Why. [ cause he really doesn't get that part either. still. ]
no subject
Well... I'm happy that you like me for who I am. [and not because he's just a tasty soul!!] That makes it feel like it's a bit more even.
[since he likes Minami not because he's a demon, but because he's Minami.]
no subject
...even? [ he's also stupid, sorry tsukasa. ]
no subject
That's quite the confession... he really wasn't expecting ever hearing anything like that out of Minami, and yet here it is, right on the heels of him saying he doesn't want to eat his soul.
This is a good day! A very good day!]
Even! [He's sparkly and confident now... look what you've done, Minami.] Since I like you as well, of course!
no subject
and minami loves it. that finally gets him to smile and laugh, even if it's not as loud as his usual ones. he's also blushing, which is usually pretty subtle, but definitely not up close. even if he's still half in the blanket. ]
I still think you're crazy, you know. [ affectionate. who else but someone crazy could like a demon, and a demon like him on top of all of that. ]
And just cuz I'm not gonna eat you doesn't mean I'm gonna let anyone else have you.
[ that was probably a little obvious by the end of spin the bottle, but he's stating it now while he's being cornered into spilling things he can't contain anymore. ]
no subject
So Tsukasa just blinks quizzically, tilting his head.]
That isn't really something you have to worry about... I'm not a contestant, after all.
no subject
[ he knows none of those were serious but in the same way where he's overprotective, demons are just very "Mine". perhaps it's more noticeable that he didn't spin himself, but he's not going to say that.
instead he just finally pokes tsukasa's cheeks back. he's not mad or really bothered because this is minami and it would be obvious but someone is a hypocrite and actually really dedicated. though this is all new to him too. ]
no subject
[Well. Yeah. None of the kisses were serious at all. And he did get the impression Minami wasn't thrilled, given the uh, possessive kiss at the end right in front of everyone.
... Hmmm.]
Well, I most likely shouldn't be playing games like that with everyone anyway. I'm supposed to be hosting, after all.
[It was fun though :( He likes everyone in the house, after all, so he likes spending time with them. But, well. He can recognize that it's still not really his place, and he's probably asking for trouble by it. (Photos taken moments before disaster*
*read: akechi destroys him in the next interview probably).]
no subject
You should do what you want. [ he does have enough self-awareness to realize that he's forced his way in here against the "rules". ] I'll just fight the bottle next time.
But I don't wanna talk 'bout that anymore. [ he emerges from the blankets fully (finally!) and pulls tsukasa into a deep kiss.
listen he's said a lot and most of it is stuff he's allergic to and they both deserve this he thinks. ]
no subject
... Well, it's fine. This is the job Tsukasa took on, and like always, he'll do it to the highest standards possible, which he always holds himself to.
It doesn't matter anyway--he isn't given the time to respond, and after all of that, he's not going to avoid leaning into that kiss, obviously. Really, he pretty obviously relaxes into it, shoulders slumping as he does.
So this is what an embarrassed demon is like...]
no subject
Hehehe. How was that? [ a mirror to a short time ago that seems farther now, in a good way. ]
no subject
Very good, of course! Your expression is looking much better as well.
no subject
Hey! [ that's not a real objection he just doesn't know what to do with affection like this. he's smile's a bit wider though. ]
I want to nap with you because I didn't get to last time.
no subject
Regardless, he arches an eyebrow at that. Napping on the job... he's already basically playing hooky right now. Still...]
I suppose that's fine... let me just set an alarm for an hour or so.
[then he has to stop slacking!!]
no subject
(it occurs to him that maybe he should mention why he even wears them, but-a talk for another day.) ]
I can't visit you when you're not asleep here, so I feel like I've been waiting forever!
no subject
And then he settles back in, though he makes a quizzical noise at that.]
At the hotel, you mean? Well, I suppose it's true you're all supposed to stay on the premises unless you're on a date.
no subject
[ though that saved tsukasa from a minami jumpscare at least... ]
1/2
oh my god he'd have a heart attack and DIE.]
2/2
W-well. You should be spending that time with the other contestants anyway. They do need to be able to get to know you better in order to predict matches.
[It's part of the game!! They gotta! Also thank god Tsukasa will not be jumpscared in the middle of the night!
Also he hasn't processed the dreams thing yet. Pls hold.]
