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. )
[ he is genuinely curious. gojo doubts that geto have entered a serious romantic relationship in the past decade, but he must have at least been sexually active, right? since they're on the subject, he may as well sate that curiosity. ]
( Slightly sarcastic, but at least the slur isn't present. Instead Geto just heaves out a dramatic sigh, and then, almost haltingly, because what's a confession when this already feels like a slumber party? )
I don't do that.
( Ugh. His eyes are half lidded behind the sunglasses, as though if he can't see Gojo then Gojo can't see him. #logic )
Being a cult leader and a curse user doesn't lend itself to a lot of stress-free time, Satoru. I don't know if you've noticed, but I don't trust many people. And that would be important. To me.
( This is a terrible conversation, the McDonalds was not worth it. ) I couldn't leave the girls at first and then it just sort of fell to the wayside. Besides. ( More feeling then. ) It's not about the potential threat. Not all of it. I can take care of myself. But I've never been attracted to someone I didn't feel connected to in the first place, so the list has always been small.
( He'd been slow to start, too polite to most people but never committing. He'd thought he had time. )
I just don't see the point. It has to be someone I understand. I can't fuck around, I'm not built that way. ( Then, childishly grumbly. ) Shoko said it was fine. We looked it up. If you make fun of me I'll poke your eyes out.
I didn't mean back then. [ he's just gonna pinch him on the nose β hard. ] I meant what's stoppin' you here, stupid. Even if you aren't interested in humans, we have plenty of nonhumans on base.
[ .........how is it that suguru and ieiri left him out of that convo? rude. ]
I wouldn't have made fun of you. [ βalso childishly grumbly. ] Nothin' wrong with wanting to be in a serious relationship before you have sex. It isn't really for me, but isn't that the norm for most people? [ can't believe they left him out. he's never getting over it. ]
( A petulant ow follows, Geto swiping a hand up at him. )
Sure, I'll go make out with Godzilla.
( Non-human. Giant lizard. Makes sense. The hand moves to pat him playfully on the cheek, maybe a little annoying but that's just their nature. )
Don't pout, Satoru. It doesn't have to be a relationship. That's not what I'm saying either. It just has to be, you know -. ( Suddenly serious, even though he's loose-limbed and hazy. ) - someone I care about. That's a very small list. Exclusive. It's always been that way.
You don't have to go for the lizard. [ there are other powered individuals on base????? ]
I can't say that I really get it, but I can see how it would limit your options if you have to care about them first. [ coming from someone who also only genuinely cares about a small handful of people. ]
So, if you have to care about them first, then who was your first? Is it someone I know?
Oh, no. I was trying to be normal then. It was just some girl. We met at one of the clubs Shoko made us go to. Boring. ( He pulls a face, something boyish and mean. ) But I felt like I was missing something, is all. That's why I talked to Shoko about it. Because Keiko-chan was nice but I didn't like it. And I didn't want to kiss anyone randomly, so I thought maybe it was just -.
( Well, he's always felt a little off about things. )
Anyway she helped me realise I did want things, just not with strangers. Also that I was potentially brain damaged. ( Because, well. He looks at Gojo thoughtfully, a little furrow knitting between his brows. ) Anyway it wasn't a big deal. I thought I had time to figure my shit out. And then I didn't, and I had other things to focus on.
[ he has to wonder if this happened during the period when he started going on solo missions. #LEFTOUT ]
Well, there's definitely something wrong with your brain, but I don't think it has anything to do with how selective your attraction to people is. [ the cheekiest grin. ] You have plenty of time to figure shit out now. It's never too late to start gettin' some.
( He flips him off easily, but behind his stolen glasses Geto's gaze has gone a little tender. He's missed him, missed this even if it isn't quite the same. )
( There's some feeling in that, a little hysterically edged. He rubs his eyes under the frames, smudging more of his eyeliner, suddenly stupidly exhausted. )
Fuck. Do you know Shoko would be pissing herself if she could hear this conversation? If we're following my exacting standards anyway, and those never change, there's an entire one whole person on my list and I don't think you can help me with that, Satoru. The best we could do is find someone not awful and trick me into it.
he would be a fool if he didn't know who suguru is referring to at this moment. quietly, he reaches down to remove the sunglasses shielding those smudged eyes, setting them aside so he can meet his purple hues with the bright blues of his own. then, with a far too casual smile, he lifts a finger to point at himself. ]
( The glare Gojo gets is half-hearted at best, mouth twisting as he pushes himself up into a sitting position, one hand behind himself to keep his balance. )
Hence the brain damage. I'd have to be, if I wanted to kiss you when you're singlehandedly the most infuriating person I know. Don't smile like that, I know it's fucked up. ( It had been better when they were teenagers, when things had been hopeful. That he still carries a singular spark he can't violently snuff out is on him. ) I'm going.
I don't find that surprising. I mean, [ he tucks his hand under his chin. ] look at how handsome I am~ [ geto forgot to mention how vain he is too. ] Why wouldn't you want to kiss me? It'd be weirder if you didn't.

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.
