( He doesn't explain the anger thing because he's too busy chewing, and then Gojo is pulling that, blue eyes visible over his sunglasses and Geto very unfortunately forgets every other thought in his head. He blinks, very slowly, lifts a hand as though to shove the other man away by the face, remembers infinity at the very last second, curls his fingers instead. )
Fuck.
( His ears feel a little hot. It's fine, it's fine. Gojo maybe just keeps his room too warm. )
Stop that. No. Nobody hit on me.
( An overexaggerated roll of his shoulders to hide the very real shudder. ) Maybe because some people have subtlety. Does that work on people?
( Promptly balling up the burger wrapper to aim it directly at Gojo's face, because even if he can't touch him something has to be done about that ego. )
( He's finished eating by now. It would be easy to leave. Instead he rests his elbow on his knee and his chin his palm and gazes thoughtfully at Gojo. )
It probably could be. Maybe you're just sleeping with boring people.
( Is it pity? Maybe a little bit. He absolutely cannot think about it too closely though, because he's only just got his ears back under control and also it's making the burger sit uncomfortably in his stomach for unknown reasons, but.
Satoru fucks. He's never had to face that before. )
( He covers his face with both of his hands instead, scrubbing at the skin. ) I'm right next door, I'm already too aware of you as it is.
( He doesn't want to hear it. But ... but ... isn't he trying to be a friend again? Wasn't that the point of this? Not the asking for Gojo's opinion on his outfit, but the coming over. Shouldn't he want what's best for him? Isn't that how normal people behave? )
I'm just saying. You're not terrible. ( Wow. ) Maybe you'd find someone.
I should have drank more. I should have brought more drink with me.
( Is it worth it for that peal of laughter? Maybe. Even if it makes him ever so slightly cranky. He peeks through his fingers anyway, beleaguered, grumpy like he would have been all those years ago. )
Do you want some of my soda? [ he waggles his cup at him. ]
It doesn't matter. [ so, he's not gonna tell him. ] It wasn't anything serious, anyway. [ it never is for him. ] I misread his interest in me, but it turns out that I'm not his type.
Oh no. Oh, that's worse. Why is that worse? It shouldn't matter. It doesn't matter. He is just going to flop directly back onto the floor and not think about it. This is fine. Curse his sexy outfit. Curse Set a little too for being flirty because now they're here. )
You poor thing.
( Dry. Maybe a teeny bit hysterical. )
You not being someone's type. It must have been earth-shattering.
[ what're you doing, suguru? he's trying to have a conversation with you right now??? ]
It wasn't. [ setting the rejected soda down, he scoots closer to him, so he's soon sitting cross-legged next to geto while he's peering directly down at him. he lifts a hand to slide his sunglasses further down his nose to reveal those too blue eyes. ] He hasn't seen my face, so... it's gotta be my personality, right?
( It used to be a game in the beginning, seeing if he could get beyond infinity. He tries it now, snatching the glasses cleaning off of Gojo's face, his own flickering into open surprise when he manages it. There's a second where they jolt in his grip, hold going more firm. )
The arrogance.
( A murmur, but not actually a complaint, and then Geto is shoving the glasses over his own eyes, obscuring them. )
It's his loss, Satoru. You shouldn't be with someone who doesn't like every part of you. Even if you are a sadist.
[ it doesn't mean anything. he wasn't going after a relationship and, even if he was, he has never been the type to get hung up over someone. people leave and grow apart. it's the way of life. he learned that a long time ago, thanks to the very man who lays in front of him now.
but this is nice though. he hasn't felt this relaxed with suguru in well over a decade.
it's funny to think that they got into a fistfight just recently. ]
I don't care if they like me or not. [ a vague smile as he watches geto put on his shades. ] They just have to find me attractive. [ he rests his chin on the palm of his hand, continuing to look down at him. ] What about you, Suguru?
( He tips his head a little, pretending that the black of those borrowed shades is enough to hide the way he's looking at Gojo now. He really should get up. He tells himself so, constantly. A nagging little voice in the back of his skull. But this is the most time they've spent together without fighting in ... a decade. He doesn't want to. )

You asked. [ don't @ him for it~ ]
It works for me. [ he can't speak to other people's experiences. ] But I usually don't hit on people like that.
no subject
Don't ask.
Don't ask. )
How do you? Has it improved any? Because it was terrible before.
no subject
[ βwhich is arguably even worse than his tactics when he was in high school. ]
And they usually say yes. Then, we fuck.

[ he only has sex to take care of his basic needs, so it doesn't matter to him how he gets there. ]
no subject
( Though it's not like he spends his time flirting with people, so what does he know. )
Like a game. The anticipation.

( Catty? In this economy? )
no subject
[ but they're normies, so maybe geto's onto something. ]
I haven't slept with anyone who has abilities like us though. Maybe that's the problem.
no subject
What? Because you can't supplex your paramour?
( He's so fancy. He's also having a crisis. )
no subject
Well, no. I just can't be as rough with them as I would like to. [ he takes a steady sip of his large soda. ] People are fragile, you know?
no subject
( Blurted, because he's tipsy enough and baffled enough. )
Are you a sadist, Satoru? Is that what's happening? Do you even know about safe words?
no subject
[ he has never thought about it, but he's proooobably a sadist. B) ]
I know about safe words, Suguru. [ give him more cred. ] And I know how to hold back. It's all I do whenever I have sex.
no subject
( Is it pity? Maybe a little bit. He absolutely cannot think about it too closely though, because he's only just got his ears back under control and also it's making the burger sit uncomfortably in his stomach for unknown reasons, but.
Satoru fucks. He's never had to face that before. )
There are plenty of powerful people here.
( UGH. )
no subject
It isn't that bad. [ he has nothing better to compare it to. ]
Haha. Are you suggesting that I should start asking around?
no subject
( He covers his face with both of his hands instead, scrubbing at the skin. ) I'm right next door, I'm already too aware of you as it is.

no subject
Don't worry, I wouldn't fuck here. [ maki is next door too. he wouldn't do that to her. ] I'd go to a friggin' hotel.
[ he won't be going around just propositioning people, but it's amusing enough of a thought. ]
I actually did ask someone if they wanted to fuck back in Vegas, but I got shot down.
no subject
( Is it worth it for that peal of laughter? Maybe. Even if it makes him ever so slightly cranky. He peeks through his fingers anyway, beleaguered, grumpy like he would have been all those years ago. )
Really? Who?
( WHY IS HE ASKING? )
no subject
