[Still late at night, but this time his post is signed? He has no shame about spamming the BBS with stuff like this, and anyway it's important.]

Can shinki celebrate their birthdays if they remember them?

[Fushimi frowns, letting Misaki pull away.]

Tch. I was teasing, Misaki.

[thevanguard]

[ About which part, though? He's not so sure. Even though he huffs and waves it off, like it doesn't matter. It shouldn't. It's a dumb insecurity and he knows it. He never said it was logical. ]

Yeah, yeah. It's fine.

[ Even if it might not be. But he just shrugs and stuffs his hands deep into his pockets as he turns towards the door. ]

I'm hungry. You want anything?

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi pulls Misaki back by the arm.]

Do I need to stab Judar?

[thevanguard]

[ Yata freezes, looking confused as he glances back at Saru. ]

....Huh?

[monkeyblue]

You don't get that upset when I tease you. Did Judar do something?

[thevanguard]

No. It's nothing. [ He shakes his head and looks away again, shrugging dismissively. ] You're not the first one to tease me about it. Neither is he. Probably won't be the last, either.

[monkeyblue]

...it bugs you?

[thevanguard]

[ Yata rolls his eyes and shakes his arm free, although he's more upset at himself for letting this get under his skin just now than anything else. ]

No. I'm used to the fact that I'm shit at this sort of thing and have no fucking clue what I'm doing, alright?

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi lets him go.]

Tch. Alright. I didn't know. I'll stop.

[thevanguard]

... It's fine. You're probably right, anyway. [ He gives a dry laugh at that, self-depreciating as he lifts a hand to gesture at them. ] I mean, I'm handling this great so far, huh?

[monkeyblue]

What, us dating?

[thevanguard]

[ He groans and buries his face in his hands. ]

Saru. I don't know the first fucking thing about dating. But I'm already pretty sure I'm not doing this right.

[monkeyblue]

Tch, you think I am? I just don't care.

[He tugs Misaki closer.]

I've got you, we're dead, and not in our home world. Why the hell do I care how we're 'supposed' to date?

[thevanguard]

[ He goes still again, blinking up at Saru when he tugs him back, confusion flickering over his face again as he searches his face. Saru always seemed to have so much of an easier time coming across as competent and capable. Next to him, Yata almost perpetually felt like a mess, unless they were fighting stuff. Even in this, Saru had seemed to somehow slip seamlessly into calling Yata his boyfriend and making actions like pulling him into his lap without warning, whereas Yata spent more time second-guessing himself or realizing afterwards - when it was too late - that he might have been missing clues he was supposed to pick up along the way.

Now... Now he just tilted his head in to bury his face against Saru's chest, huffing out a deep sigh at himself as he rested his forehead against Saru's chest. ]

You still manage to make it look easy, somehow.

[monkeyblue]

Only because I'm greedy.

[He shifts to make more room in his lap for Misaki, resting his chin on the other's head.]

I like having a claim on you.

[thevanguard]

[ That gets a soft laugh from him, eyes sliding closed for a moment. ]

Possessive ass.

[ But he doesn't sound like he minds all that much. ]

[monkeyblue]

If you're just now realizing that, Misaki, we need to have a talk.

[He huffs a sigh.]

[thevanguard]

[ No. he's known. He doesn't really mind that, either.

But he picks up his head, studies Saru's expression for a moment before one corner of his lips tugs upwards in the ahint of a smile. ]

I think we did enough talking today.

[ And before his insecurities could raise their ugly heads again and before he chickened out entirely, he leans in and impulsively presses his lips to Saru's in a fumbled, clumsy kiss. ]

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi freezes when Misaki kisses him before relaxing a little and returning the kiss. It's...really, really, really freaking bad, but hey. It's a kiss.]

CW for makeouts >.>

[thevanguard]

[ At least the 'bad' part is over quick because Yata's quick about picking this up, sorta like he is about everything and after the tick of a few heartbeats when Saru doesn't pull away and reject him or make fun of him or worse, he actually relaxes a little. Fingers curl in Saru's shirt as he leans up to reach, lips parting slightly as he tries to figure this out. ]
