[ . . . .

he isn't really surprised.

to some degree, he had already guessed some time ago. even knowing that there was likely a veneer of falsehood between them, it was not enough to deter the sense of familiarity. even still, it felt like something too fragile to name - to call direct attention to, and so mikazuki did not.

but the sound of a voice inside his head, brief as it is, manages to make his expression soften terribly. ah.

his hand lifts from the shoulder of the uniform, upward toward the veil - though he remains just centimeters away from truly making contact with it. but he will reach nonetheless. so close, and yet so very far.]

I do.

[even if there is so much he'd like to say. even if 'ah, i missed you' is so clear in his gaze.]

I do understand... and yet it will not stop me from always wishing for better for you.

[guestservices]

{everyone: what do you like cetus
cetus: flowers

mikazuki: do you like flowers
cetus: .............. no

there's a bit of a smile in their voice when they speak.]

As gracious as always. [...] You really are the bane of my existence sometimes.

[unsaid]

Have I done something amiss?

[a little more playful…

he lets the back of his fingers brush against the veil before he retracts his hand]

[guestservices]

[dryly,]

Ask rather difficult questions.

[questions that made it difficult not to reveal potentially identifying opinions. they reach up, briefly, to make sure the veil's still in place.]

You really don't let up in your efforts to get to know people.

[unsaid]

I like to get to know you especially.

[it’s really like

he’s been given silent permission to be shameless now]

[guestservices]

You're insufferable.

[terrible.]

[unsaid]

You missed me.

[now he’s just assuming things]

[guestservices]

[they hold up a hand to their veil, as though thinking. or hiding a smile that's hidden behind the veil anyway. one of the two maybe.]

That's quite the presumption to make about someone you've only known for a few weeks, I think.

[unsaid]

[meanwhile, not bothering to hide his smile]

Oh yes... Do forgive me. I have simply been reminded of a dear friend... someone that I had wished very much to meet again.

You'll have to excuse the rambling recollections of this old man...

[guestservices]

[oh so mildly]

Be careful. You might be going senile.

[unsaid]

Would you take care of me if I do?

[guestservices]

[amused]

I'm sure you have options.

[unsaid]

Is that meant to suggest that I cannot desire you still?

[guestservices]

I'd hate to take the responsibility away from those eager for it.

[unsaid]

[looks disappointed]

[guestservices]

I'm afraid that look doesn't work on me, Mikazuki.

[unsaid]

Ah, it is not meant to make anything work.

I am simply saddened...

[don't just admit you're sad that cetus won't take care of you]

[guestservices]

[please]

Can't have you becoming spoiled.

[unsaid]

Unlike some individuals [ :) ] I like to be spoiled.

[guestservices]

In that case [ :) ] what would you expect from me, hypothetically?

[1/2]

[unsaid]

Hmm...

[he's thinking on it.....

he's thinking.... on it..... taking a second....]

[unsaid]

Your company and your attention... and more importantly, your friendship.

[1/2]

[guestservices]

Hm...

[cetus also appears to be thinking on it... thinking...]

[guestservices]

I suppose that might be doable.

[unsaid]

Did you believe that I would ask for more...?
