( r6 ) talking-head: minami.

[showhost]

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!

[ that sound settles somewhere in his chest, snugly between his ribs which is a good thing because as tsukasa startles, minami does too. not as much obviously, red eyes bright and confused. ]

Ehhh?! Did I bite you by accident? [ he was on the verge of losing himself so he could see it. ]

Sorry...

[ the easiest and most sincere sorry he's said in his entire life. ]

[aspirings]

Ah--no, you didn't, that's not--

It was really nice, actually--I mean.

[Oh my god, Tsukasa, get it together.

He clears his throat, sitting up properly and taking Minami with him if allowed, face still bright red.]

We absolutely can't--keep doing this here. The crew might walk in. And this is the interview room!

[ minami does allow himself to get pulled along, blinking a few times as he tries to parse what tsukasa's telling him, while also being distracted at the very visible marks he's left on his chest.

a mix of pride and longing fills him, a lopsided smile on his face. ]

[inparfait]

[ ohhhh they're— ohhh.

he has absolutely zero shame about this, but. ]

They're not allowed to because you're mine. [ and then he sighs a little because he wanted to keep going... ]

Okay, but I want to do that again. When no one else can see.

[ his soul problem and its potential solution is the farther thing from his mind when he says this.

for want of needing to do something with his hands, he'll at least start to button up tsukasa's shirt again. ]

[aspirings]

[Thanks, Minami....... Tsukasa does need his shirt buttoned up, so. He's allowing this to happen, even if he blinks at Minami a little as he does.

... A-anyway.

Ahem.]

W-well, yes, but somewhere much more private... [... also.] It really should wait until after the show, too.

[he doesn't know he'll be a contestant soon yet]

[inparfait]

Awww, okay... [ thankfully that doesn't bother him for as much as he's settled in the "after" now too. he'll realize that later, probably. ]

If you were a contestant I'd just take you to that room, even if the name of it is dumb.

[ he finds the whole concept more than a little silly but he's an incubus, so what is shame. ]

[aspirings]

What, the Embrace Space?

[This is a good distraction from the thoughts spinning around his head about what they almost did (????!!).]

You don't care for the name?

[inparfait]

Yeah, it's stupid. Embrace makes it sound like all you're doing in there is hugging.

But I guess humans need help even kissing each other like with the stupid bottle...

[ he doesn't get it! if you want to kiss someone just kiss them, duh. ]

[aspirings]

... Well, in the adult version of the show, it is called something different...

[It's cute that Minami is fussed about this, though... Tsukasa just muses about it while he lifts his hands to properly tidy his hair after All of That.]

So I'm sure it has something to do with their TV rating.

[inparfait]

[ he smiles as he watches tsukasa fix himself up, taken with the action in the middle of all of this. aesthetics are important, but more than that, they're attractive. ]

Sometimes I wonder if they forgot that I'm an incubus, hehe. But I guess I haven't really done anything besides with you.

[aspirings]

[... Huh. Now that he thinks about it--]

I'm sure they knew when you were brought on... maybe they really were hoping you would spice things up. They can always edit to toe that rating line.

[It's kind of funny that Minami never did.]

[inparfait]

[ oh, he has something to say about that (yeah in any other situation he would have with more than one partner, but he's a Committed demon now) but his gremlin senses are tingling.

he leans in with a pointed smile. ]

Then should I do spicier things with you?

[ he literally just did, but that was really only brushing the surface. ]

[aspirings]

[Now thoroughly comfortable with Minami (how could he not be, really), Tsukasa just shoves a hand gently into his face, and with fond exasperation:]

Not us. Footage of me is useless to them.

[Things said moments before disaster (Tsukasa becomes a contestant).

(Also that wasn't a no.)]

[inparfait]

Hehehe! [ that wasn't a no, and tsukasa's getting his hand licked for that (not sorry). ]

I knowwww. I can be patient for you, but don't forget to reward me!

[aspirings]

[oh my god.

Many things have been sexy to Tsukasa this thread but that isn't one of them; he yelps and yanks his hand back to wipe it on his pants, making a face at Minami. He can be stupidly fastidious about some things...]

Minami.

[Anyway...]

You already know that's the case, regardless... [He's already agreed!] I'm not about to change my mind.

[inparfait]

Tsukasa ♥. [ no chan here, because as dumbly as he says this, it's also with a bare sincerity that he doesn't usually show without wrapped up in something else. (likely still the remnants of how he felt not too long ago influencing his words and mood even now). and it's totally fine because that wasn't meant to be sexy, he just couldn't resist. ]

I trust you, but I needed to say it before I feel even more crazy than I already do. But I guess that's cuz I'm crazy about you, hehe.

[aspirings]

[... Ugh. Ugh!! He's starting to realize that he's weak to Minami being sincere, even if Minami isn't even aware he's doing it himself.

This is....

... A sigh, and Tsukasa just shakes his head, reaches out, and tugs Minami into another kiss by the front of his shirt. It's brief, and despite the tug, gentle--and then he pulls back and takes another moment to make sure he's tidy.]

We both have things to do, I think. [God, this is his job, he has got to get it together.]

[inparfait]

[ !?!?!

minami was not expecting that and it shows in his expression, his color, and how it takes him a moment to lean into the kiss himself.

he has absolutely no idea what he did, but he is absolutely not complaining. ]

...'Kay. [ he'll get up in a moment, just give him a second. ]

[aspirings]

[... It's kind of nice to throw Minami off in return. This is bad for Tsukasa's ego.

Regardless, he'll remain there patiently while Minami gets his brain cell back up to speed, radiating endeared amusement.]

[inparfait]

[ ...okay, there it goes. he can't do much about the still lingering flush, but that's fine. he buys a few more moments getting himself back together, stretching, and then finally standing. ]

I liked that a lot. [ what just happened obviously, but also all the other stuff they just did on the couch too.

he still has no idea what he did, but he needs to say it clearly anyway. ]

[aspirings]

[And as soon as Minami is up, Tsukasa also stands, brushing himself off and tidying his appearance before he shifts his gaze to Minami properly.

And he smiles, of course.]

I did as well. [Where does the confidence come from, given how he was before? We just don't know.]

But it is time for us to go. We've spent too much time here already.

[Whoops! He doesn't sound like he regrets it, though.]

[inparfait]

[ this is unfair minami thinks, but his sigh is fond. ]

...I'll get you back next time.

[ because there will be a next time, the smile on his face knows that for sure.

he'll head out first, letting his fingers brush tsukasa's as he does. ]
