[ there we go. he's fine with the clinging--it puts him immediately into good big brother mode, and nazuna gets comfortable, sliding his arm around leo and moving the other hand up to stroke his hair, comforting and gentle. familiar. ]
Life's not that easy, though. [ he tips his head to rest on top of leo's, looking up at the ceiling as he thinks of the proper thing to say. ] ...and that's part of being an adult, you know? It's important that we face up to it when we've done something wrong.
[ not that nazuna can really talk... but if there's anything he can do, he can at least give advice. ] I think that...what happened was going to be inevitable, eventually. You guys have been butting heads a lot--and it wasn't just you, either.
Mm. I think if Mitzy's wasn't so uptight on that rule of his, we'd get along better... Even if it might make things difficult to search through, what's wrong with being friends? Making each other laugh and getting off topic? Nothing, right?
[it's his biggest issue with sena, and obviously the biggest issue that keeps coming up.]
Maybe... we'd use to more, too, outside of our memories. It'd be nice to plan things together. To get to know everyone else. I'm not wrong for wantin' that sort of place, am I?
[ pfft--well, he won't argue that mizukichin's uptight...
it's such a simple desire, though, that it makes nazuna's heart squeeze, just a little. they might all only be connected by retrospec and this bare thread of memories, but...he has a point. just because they're not the same people in their memories (for some, lucky for some, not so much) doesn't mean they can't just... be friends.
nazuna squeezes leo's shoulder. he could bring it up to mizuki, probably. the atmosphere they're building could end up oppressive at this rate. his tone stays soft, though, and he doesn't belay that to leo at all. ] ...I don't think you're wrong, Leochin. I think we need to find a happy medium, that's all.
[ a pause, and he hums, patting leo's shoulder. ] And I think you need to stop being provoked so easily. [ again. ] And so does he. But that's easier said than done.
It wasn't even really his fault this time~. Rittsu was the one who was poking at me... Think he figured something I didn't want him to figure out, but at least he cooled off it. I was the one who was lashing at people.
[... he won't deny he rises the bait easy though. he knows he does. it's hard to stop.]
[ about miai, he wants to say, but he doesn't say it. hm.
:thinking:
okay, not really. it's nice to hear leo's aware of it, so nazuna won't prod him too much more. he just sighs, a big noise as if put upon, but it sounds much more fond and teasing than anything else. ] We all get mad sometimes. It happens to everyone. What matters is how you act after the fact.
[ look at this nice grown up talk they're having. ] I'm not going to let him kick you out of the group chat. [ a pause. ] Or let you kick yourself out.
Damn. And here I thought Nazu'd have some mercy on me, let me slip out quietly without complaint... mm, but that'd be like Mitzy won, and I don't really want him to.
[he's a stubborn ass too. leo lays more on nazuna and nuzzles into him, comfortable.]
'Kay. I'm over it. I'll apologize properly tomorrow... Mmm, a bit at a time.
Not a chance ~ [ nazuna hums, reaching over to gently tug on leo's cheek. ] That's something a cowardly little rabbit might have done.
[ who is clearly not him, because he is not cowardly OR little, thank you. the rabbit thing is negotiable. and leo is clearly none of those things, either. he lets him lean against him, though, comfortable and warm, fingers moving away from his face to stroke through his hair instead. it's a comforting gesture the same thing he'd do to his little siblings. ] Do you want to watch ancient aliens, or something?
[ and cuddle, to be honest. he's fine staying right here, petting leo's hair, until he feels just a little better. ]
[ not even a little. this is his most natural place in the world, after all, taking care of people. shifting just enough to get comfortable, nazuna flicks the tv on, puts the volume down low, and settles in to pet leo's hair until he (or nazuna, really) falls asleep. ]
