showhost | ( r6 ) talking-head: minami.

[Of course people are making it complicated, he can't help but think, and opens his mouth to say. When love and feelings get involved, complicated is exactly what humans are.

But before he can say anything, he's being tugged down, and he flops onto Minami with a lightly startled squawk. Will he ever get used to this? Signs point to no.

And, against Minami's chest:]

You are so impatient. [HONESTLY,,, he should get used to that, too, he thinks. He was getting to this, probably! He's just worried about everyone.]

Well yeah, I'm tired!!! Do you know how much I wanted to make things worse? It'd be really easy to do! Do you know how much I wanted to slam Mark's head against the wall?

But I didn't do any of those cause of you!!!

[ his emotions may be raring their head differently but he's frustrated in his own way.

and then he goes still and quiet which is definitely noticeable because of how much of a chatterbox and cuddlebug he usually is. ]

[Oh my god Minami. He goes still and quiet so suddenly... Tsukasa pauses, hesitant, and then lifts his head to look at him properly.]

... I do appreciate that, by the way. The--er, not slamming anyone's head against the wall thing.

[pls, he loves Mark, he's a good boy.]

[But that aside... he doesn't know that he's ever seen Minami frustrated in this sort of way before.]

Are you alright?

[ it takes a moment but there's some grumbling that sounds an awful lot like the time he wanted the couch to take him. ]

I don't wanna make you upset but sometimes it's hard and I just wanted—I just wanted to be with you cuz it helps.

[........ Huh..........

That's.... cute. Yeah, that's pretty cute. Both the effort Minami is putting in (thank god for that--) and also just the sulky admittance here and now.]

Well, of course you do.

[Want to be with him, that is. Because he's a star--okay, no. I mean, partially that, but also:]

We enjoy spending time together, after all. So wanting that after difficult times is only to be expected.

[He feels the same way, after all, after the interviews and things, so!]

There is nothing to be embarrassed about!

Mmmmnnnf. [ well he's lost the battle, cuddling time is a go even if he's still trying to hide his face. ]

But then I thought you didn't want to and while normally I wouldn't care, that's not enough for me anymore. I want you to enjoy it too.

[ actually he's felt that way for a while, he's just never been able to say it until now. ]

[... Huh?]

[Huh?????

It really must be different for demons and incubuses, huh...]

I can't believe you think I'd do this with anyone I didn't want to already...

[help]

I assure you I am not cuddling on the couch with any other contestants during interviews.

[There is a voice in the back of his head that sounds an awful lot like Goro Akechi that says something about favoritism which he is squashing really hard right now with all of his heart. He knows okay!!! He knows.]

I didn't think you were! [ he truly didn't. ]

I meant I thought you were annoyed at me and that made me feel—can you kiss me now before I implode?

[ he is a simple incubi who simply wanted affection from the person he's willing to go against his nature for and not hate himself for it in the process.

though it's a work in progress. ]

[Minami is so confusing sometimes but thankfully Tsukasa gets the brunt of it when he's being cute and not when he's being sassy or rude.

So.

He just shrugs a bit to himself, reaches out to cup one of Minami's cheeks, and leans in for said kiss.

Maybe this will confirm entirely that he's here because he wants to be--and he was building up to this anyway, so that's two birds with one stone regardless.]

[ he hates having any kind of doubt he really does, but that meeting was so much in ways he can't articulate even though he's trying.

tsukasa is rewarded for his efforts by feeling minami melt into the kiss which he definitely takes slow. he sighs, content, after. his words need another second or two to reboot. ]

[There, that's better. Having a much less fussy demon flopped with him is less harrowing in every possible way, honestly.

He quirks an eyebrow at Minami when he pulls away, but he's still smiling. After all, even Minami isn't immune to the pressure cooker of tension and stress that's this TV show, and he comforted Tsukasa before as well. It's nice to be able to repay the favor.

(Even if Tsukasa wishes he could do this for all of the contestants to some extent.

The comforting, not the kissing.)]

Are you feeling any better now?

Mmhmm. [ there's a smile from him finally and then a nose nuzzle. ]

Thank youuu. This is better than an ultra deluxe parfait, hehe.

[Tsukasa has like, miraculously missed out on just how much Minami adores parfaits... he's aware he loves sweets, of course, but I feel like the people in the house are the ones who really understand the extent of it.

Which is to say that Tsukasa has no idea how much of a compliment that really is, coming from Minami.]

Well, I'm glad to hear it. [???]

We may as well stay like this for awhile, since we're already here. [y'know. No big deal.] And I imagine you're not interested in talking about the competition, so...

Should we talk about something else?

Hehehe. [ of course they're staying like this, tsukasa. ]

I have a gift for you. And a question! Which one do you want first?

[Hm...? A gift and a question...? He clearly wasn't expecting that.]

Ah, um... the gift! ... Wait, no, let's start with the question--!

Are you sure you want the question first? It's okay to be selfish ☆.

[ though ultimately it's tsukasa's choice, he's dutybound as a demon to ask this. ]

[MMMMNNNN..... he is not sure...

He's thinking this over so hard right now.]

[This is the hardest choice ever (it's not that big of a deal, Tsukasa).]

Hmmm... yes! I'm certain. Let's start with the question, though I am very curious about the gift.

'Kay! Then I'll start with this~. [ this being a kiss because he can. ]

And now the question! Is the stage you usually perform on special? It looks different than others I've seen which isn't too weird in dreams, but yours is pretty consistent for being fantasy!

[ things he should probably ask in the dream himself but he's been avoiding that, which is a whole other topic for probably not today. ]

[Oh? About his dreams again?

Tsukasa tilts his head at that, brow furrowing a little. He remembers his dreams sometimes, and not others, just like any average person--and they tend to vary so much from inane (to him) and just downright bizarre (he blames Miku). So... he's not really sure what Minami means, at first.]

Well--it is a special stage to me, of course, but I wouldn't think it would look different to you from most stages.

[???]

What is so different about it?

Besides the pink elephant you ride? [ he outed himself with that before, so- ]

It looks pretty high tech and colorful and has hovering merry-go-rounds in the background and trains, pink animals made of clouds...

[He is thankfully distracted from Minami poking at the elephant nonsense again--

....... Because.

Well.

The thing he's describing sounds an awful lot like...]

[Huh.......

He's always kept it a secret because it sounds absolutely nuts--to an ordinary, average person. So they've always kept Miku and Kaito and the others quiet and under wraps. But... Minami is a demon. Ritsuka's trying to save the world. Steve and Akechi are dead.

A lil pocket dimension where Hatsune Miku lives is downright mundane in comparison, so...]

I suppose... there's no real reason to keep it a secret here... Ah, what you're seeing in my dreams is a real place. [... he thinks?] Well, it's a place I can go to, at least. It's called Sekai. It's...

[Hmmmm. He's had this explained to him, but... he's still a little fuzzy on the details, even now. At some point, he just kind of--got used to its existence without questioning the details.]

... A little pocket world made from my emotions and feelings...?
