( 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!

[... Oh.

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.

I want to die. [ this is definitely dramatic, something tsukasa will be able to tell instantly. it's the opposite of that, but that's a conversation for another day, probably. at least not in this exact moment.

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. ]

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-21 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, he knows that's not the truth. Wow... is this Minami being shy? It's... surprisingly cute.

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.
inparfait: (48.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-21 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yeah his best attempt at glowering in response looks something like an angry pufferfish. these feelings suck and he hates it!!!!

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. ]
aspirings: (pic#17510225)

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-21 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[because he needs his soul, Minami??? Tsukasa laughs at that again, but it's a bit softer as he tilts his head.]

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.]
inparfait: (21.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-21 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never actually liked anyone before! I can fake it but that's all it is. But with you I really do and it makes me feel like I'm gonna explode sometimes! [ it's a big compliment but help him he's dying. ]

...even? [ he's also stupid, sorry tsukasa. ]
aspirings: (Default)

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-22 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh? Never?

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!
inparfait: (50.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-22 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh my god tsukasa you are so loud

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. ]

[He'd say something about how all the best stars and actors have to be a little crazy something something etc, but he's too distracted by the rest.

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.
inparfait: (48.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-22 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but the bottle was dumb yesterday.

[ 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. ]
aspirings: (pic#17533791)

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-22 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh, so that's what this is about...

[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).]
inparfait: (21.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-22 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ here is where most other characters would have empathy and perhaps realize that they were the one who technically started this (because minami dragged him over in the first place). but minami is minami so the most he can manage is: ]

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. ]
aspirings: (pic#17513297)

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-22 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Well... talk about your standard mixed messages, Minami!! Also what does "fight the bottle" even mean--?!

... 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...]

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-22 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's different for him now too even if it's more subtle, the way his eyes seem to sparkle when they finally part and how he seems to fit better when he settles in against tsukasa once again. there's still a lot he needs to think about, but he feels lighter in the moment than heavier. as a creature of impulse its always the moments he lives in, and this is a good one. ]

Hehehe. How was that? [ a mirror to a short time ago that seems farther now, in a good way. ]

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-22 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Tsukasa would like to mirror Minami's sassier response, but honestly... he's too earnest and honest for that. so...]

Very good, of course! Your expression is looking much better as well.
inparfait: (50.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-22 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ well sass he can take any day. earnestness? he's still not fully recovered yet, a slight blush tinging the tips of his ears. ]

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.
aspirings: (pic#17513984)

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-22 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He is starting to realize that Minami just... has no idea what to do with honesty. Hmmm...... things to tuck away.

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!!]
inparfait: (12.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-22 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yay!!! [ he'll accommodate any shifting that needs to be done for the alarm. all thing's considered, he's a really happy incubus at the moment. while tsukasa's doing that he'll take off his head accessories too, since they're not comfortable to sleep with.

(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!
aspirings: (pic#17529961)

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-22 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah he's just pulling out his phone and setting a quick alarm, before he sets it on the small table next to the couch which is there solely for aesthetic or something probably.

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.
inparfait: (14.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-22 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I'm an incubus! I can see your dreams from here but if we're linked I can cross a dream to get to you physically too. But there was a stupid wall in the way when I tried the other night.

[ though that saved tsukasa from a minami jumpscare at least... ]
aspirings: (pic#17513295)

1/2

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-22 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Tsukasa does take a moment to consider the thought of Minami just suddenly appearing in his room in the middle of the night.





oh my god he'd have a heart attack and DIE.]

2/2

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-22 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[maybe this nerf is for the better.............]

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.]
inparfait: (14.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-22 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
They'd be asleep! I do enough of that when they're awake. [ because he said he would, grumble grumble. ]
aspirings: (pic#17532781)

[personal profile] aspirings 2024-11-22 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
... Right.

Well... you'll just have to put up with it for now. I don't really know how the magic they use here works.

[A beat.]

... Wait. Wait! You can see my dreams?

[another beat.]

Now that I think about it, that should have been obvious to me, never mind.
inparfait: (21.)

[personal profile] inparfait 2024-11-22 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ pfft. he lets out half a laugh, looking up with an amused grin. (he'd rather not deal with it but he's getting fed enough right now so he can forget about it, at least for the moment.) ]

It's how I tell fortunes! Which I did do for real, for you. I'm confident in what I said about your physics grade. [ unlike poor kat but then the spiders came true. he wiggles a little, wanting to not say anything else but decides to say screw it because he has no guardrails right now. ]

I can't dream myself and I normally can't leave Hell so dreams are the only way I can usually see different things. But I don't want to visit you in your dreams right now, I just want to sleep with you.
