[everyone gets jealous over stupid stuff. it's fine!!!!]
What'd he say about it? I mean, whatever you choose is gonna be whatever you choose, but I don't see the harm in poking at something to figure things out either... mm, things only ruin friendship if you let them, too.
Bingo~. I thought so. There's not a lot of people that it could be, you know? That it'd be a problem for you, anyway. Mm, Mao~'s not bad lookin' though, if he was a little older..♪
[it's okay, ritsu. he's drawing with one hand and petting his hair with the other. the way he says mao's name is a lot like a cat's meow by the way.]
That's not bad advice, anyway. You should listen to it. It's sort of like, if he approaches you about it, you'll talk about it sort of thing, and that's fine. Seems like that's how we're working anyway.
[Admitting the name out loud was embarrassing...more so since he does care for Miai and wants to be with him. This is the point where maybe his other life is just that...another life.
The way Leo says it does have him chuckling.]
You sound like a cat with his name, Ousama~
[Shifting a little he does let out another breath.]
Yeah, guess you're right. Besides I'm happy with Miai, Maakun is enjoying his high school life too.
[hm~. it's good to hear ritsu laugh, even if it's at how he says mao's name. leo'll keep petting ritsu's head though, since he doesn't really need to be as precise as possible with this.]
Let him enjoy it. ♪ Miai's a handful anyway, though I'm po~sitive you've experienced that by now. Not in a bad way.
[miai's fun. warm and gentle, but very... consuming. being the center of his undivided attention is thrilling. mm.]
Don't think he'd mind it if you asked him things, though. It's not like he's a closed off person... there're things he's pretty roundabout about, or avoids like a professional dancer -- sort of flows past them -- but Miai's open about pretty much anything. And I don't mind answering things either.
[though he's not sure. if ritsu would take that option, really, for harder stuff. leo knows his bias can be a pain.]
Like what his favorite flower is, or where he'd like to be taken on a date, stuff like that.
[The pats earn that happy hum. It was a good feeling, Leo knew how to calm him...he's glad for that.]
Have I...he likes to leave marks too huh? [He teases it. Ritsu's experience with Miai has been a whirlwind of firsts.]
Yeah, sometimes I think he avoids things but he's pretty open with most things. I felt a little bad not telling him something but...I just don't want to talk about it.
[well. at least their experiences have been similar in more than just the physical way, leo guesses, between miai's tendency to mark up whoever he's with and avoid certain topics with the grace of a high wire act. he pets ritsu a little more before moving back to finish up the tattoo's base. it's. hard not to be fond when he's talking about miai, voice softening, warming a bit.]
He loves sunflowers... He used to tease that he'd lose me in them if we ever went to a field. Roses, too, and... mm, what were they. [...] Peonies? I think. A bouquet of miniature sunflowers would probably brighten his day, and they're pretty much in season this time of year, so the flower shops should have them. ♪
As for dates, Miai's sort of an outdoorsy person~. We used to explore a lot and go off on things like that, camping and whatnot. I'd probably suggest evening walks or somethin' like that, he'll look super pretty under the night sky anyway.
[... he shouldn't be telling ritsu these sort of things, a part of him thinks, giving him advice and the like. the better part of him says it's good that he is. he's supporting his good friend ritsu, who he adores. it's fine, it's right, this should be rewarding
even if it partly isn't, and marks some final details before moving to pull his tools closer, a power box which... frankly looks more like a radio, it has numbers when leo turns it on and dials he adjusts, a few of the headphone-like plug in spots already taken by tools. the tattoo machine's needle buzzes to life and he squints at it, trying to find a good speed, i'm sorry this sounds terrifying.]
[It was really cute to hear Leo talk about Miai. Even if he does feel a little envious too. It must be nice to know someone for so long and trust them like that. He didn't know anyone that well...There was Mao but they were friends here, even if in their other lives it felt a lot more 'deep'. Aside from that he's known Secchan for a while.]
Hmmm~ They all sound like good choices.
I've never really been camping...so I might like it. You know so much about him, Ousama.
[He says it as a compliment. More than glad to know more he makes sure to not step on toes. At first he was a little cautious to even date Miai but it wasn't bad now. Now with covering the tattoo he hopes it will solidify something akin to safety from the past.
Bracing himself a little more when he sees the box and hears the buzzing of the machine. Ritsu read that coverups can hurt but he will grin and bare it.]
Mmm. We were only together for a year, and we'd be apart from time to time, but when we were in the same area we couldn't get enough of the other. [god, it sucks to remember that now.] I did everything I could to woo him~. I bet it was a funny sight.
[they do tend to hurt, ritsu's got that right, and he gently rubs ritsu's back to relax him a bit more before settling against him to start. it's a lot like a pressured vibration against the thicker skin like this, but it's probably a little worse against what amounts to scar tissue with the other tattoo.]
Heh, I'm sure it was~ Though it was probably cute too...since Ousama is cute.
[His tone is teasing since he knows Leo fusses when he calls him cute. It was true though, Leo was a cute guy.
Pressing his face to the chair he feels the vibrations and pressure. It wasn't bad at the moment more like nails on his skin, so he settles the moment it hits the scarred skin he knows is when it gets real.]
[leo scowls, face heating up, but he settles for pinching ritsu with his free hand as he works.]
Don't call me that~. He thought so too, I'm sure, considerin' how often he'd call me things like that...
[... mm. miai's the only one who can get away with it too, calling him cute and pretty. he probably shouldn't stay that way, being the exception, but it's weird to imagine not reacting to anyone doing it. mm, mm.]
You'd better be, though. ♪ It's not every day I get to do something like this. ♪ Most people have an idea of what they want comin' in, so gettin' to do my own thing and have it approved is nice.

Life was cruel in recolle. At least he was attracted to miai and he was treating him really well.]
Am I? [He has to really question that fact...he got jealous over some really dumb stuff.]
I talked to Secchan about it but...I just don't want to ruin a friendship because I can't figure myself out.
[God does he want to be selfish though...]

That maybe it was best to not confuse him or wait til Maakun figured out more...

Kuku~ Oh? Well I think it's true though if I say it too much...Ousama might leave bruises from the pinching.
[Ritsu sticks his tongue out for Leo to see.]
I don't think I would let anyone else have that much power...I believe in your work~
