[015] [action] increased responsibilities, no raise

[complexing]

[Touya's life guys. Touya's life.]

[It began simply enough: Yuki had come home, lugging a work costume Touya hoped he would never see again. 'Why don't you try it on?']

[The answer was also simple: 'Hell no.' The costume was hot, and the head was huge, and Touya didn't ever want to wear it again. It had been bad enough the one time. And then there was a bet made, and Touya thought he would never, ever lose.]

['You both conspired against me, I know it.' And Yuki had just smiled and held up the mascot head.]

[It's a special Thursday, Luceti. Because this is how Touya is dressed while he hands out balloons in the main square until sundown. After which he will be running home and vowing never, ever, to make a bet with his boyfriends ever again.]

...you know you were totally set up, right?

[Bunny face stares at Kairi.]

...

...

...yeah, now I do.

[action]

[meteorical]

Maybe you just need to find a way to get revenge on them.

[action]

[complexing]

Like put them in the suit? [Touya pulls the head off--he's sweating and dying in the suit anyway.] Yeah, Yukito wouldn't mind at all. Some revenge.

[action]

[meteorical]

No, Touya. I mean something that's really going to get to him. You know him better than anybody, right? How hard can it be?

[action]

[complexing]

...hard. Have you ever met Yukito? [He raises an eyebrow. Nothing phased Yukito ever. Not even Touya grimacing every time Sakura tried to monopolize Yuki's attention.]

[action]

[meteorical]

No, but I'm starting to think I should. You make him sound like a statue.

[action]

[complexing]

[...well. Yuki's other half can get like that.]

He just doesn't stop smiling no matter what you do. [He could wake up from having fainted and would smile, back then. Touya knew something was wrong whenever Yuki didn't smile.]

[action]

[meteorical]

Does that bother you?

[action]

[complexing]

No. I just... sometimes I wonder if he would even tell me if he was sad. I think sometimes we miss one another, trying to spare the other's feelings.

[action]

[meteorical]

...sometimes Sora could be like that. Holding everything in so he wouldn't bother m--us. He had a lot of weight on his shoulders all the time, but he would still smile and tell us nothing was wrong.

To be honest, sometimes it was scary.

You're pretty close to Yukito though, aren't you?
