[It’s another facet of the castle that Sousuke sometimes wonders if tilted towards Rin’s preferences. The sakura trees and gym pools are obviously tailored to his god’s likes, those of being a romantic sap and a powerful swimmer respectively. But other aspects, like the sheer size of it. The hidden places and secrets that could leave them wandering and exploring together for days. It’s rather engaging actually, giving them ample time to get away from each other if they want, but always somehow making it easy for them to get back together. Sousuke wonders if that’s because of their relationship, if the castle somehow reflects who they are… what they have together.
None of those thoughts he’d ever admit to Rin, of course. He’d probably be a jerk enough to tease him about it, hmph. But all that aside… it’s nice to walk with him like this. Even if Rin is piggybacking. Sousuke wanders his gaze over the hedges and open grass. But as nice as they are, the back gardens are far more impressive. Vast and reflective of the richness of the place, one particular area surrounding a pristine pond that reflects the swans swimming within its glassy surface and the violet trails of the weeping wisteria. It’s… it’s definitely impressive. His pace slows as he walks, taking in the scenery they don’t often see.
He knows Rin’s concerned about his happiness. After all, Rin’s not the shinki. But at the same time, Sousuke doesn’t want to be the only one happy. Rin should be too. And he knows Rin knows that as well as he does. They’re close enough after all by now. Sleeping in the same bed and all… ahem … Yeah, earlier on, he wouldn’t have answered like that. But a lot changes in several weeks. And Rin’s shown himself to be not just someone Sousuke can trust, but someone he can open up to. Someone he can call a friend.]
Hm. Cute answer. [His voice is soft and there’s obvious fondness in it, a little smile hidden below as he holds the other boy’s legs.] But your happiness isn’t just related to mine, right?
[Look, if he has to get all feelsy for a moment, you have to too. So there. Let’s hear it.]
