showhost | ( r6 ) talking-head: minami.

[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...?

A world made from your emotions and feelings... [ !!! ]

Can you bring anyone else inside? Does it require a ritual? What do you use it for?

[ he would apologize for the barrage of questions if he was anyone else but he isn't. that world is like candy to him and to find out it's real... ]

[Oh... he wasn't expecting Minami's enthusiasm, but it's cute!]

Er--yes, I think I can bring anyone else inside. [At the very least, he was able to bring Nene and Rui, and Emu came alongside him--]

There isn't any ritual. I just need to play a specific song on my phone. And we use it for practicing, mostly!

[What a boring and yet practical use for a pocket dimension.]

There are others who live there who often give us pointers or tips. Of course, it is such a fantastical place that it is also an excellent place to go for inspiration or ideas!

Would you like to see it?

So you're training in your dreams too, huh? [ that's cute. tsukasa is so dedicated, but he's come to expect nothing less.

nodding emphatically. ]

Of course I wanna see! You're gonna see inside my soul so that almost makes us even!

[Huh. There is some weird parallel there, Minami is right--

Anyway Tsukasa goes as far as pulling out his phone before the reality of the situation clicks.]

Ah, wait... given you can't leave the house, this probably won't work either...

Boooooo. Then let's do it after!

[ he can be patient it's only a week

looks at the future

it's only a week... ]

Yes, of course!

[JUST A WEEK, THAT'S FINE

(so much can happen in a week.)]

I will show you then.

[...]

Was that your question, then? [GIFT???]

Yay!!!

And it was, hehe. Do you want your gift now?

[ gift...!!! ]

[He perks up like a dog about to get a treat, honestly.]

I do!
