_{[ Oh, there Aoba goes again, talking about his hair. Karamatsu doesn't understand he never will.. sensitive hair? Just by touching it? It's so pretty though.. Karamatsu wants to touch it, he wants to--

Oh, shit, motherfucker. He's going for it. He's not even asking!

He holds a lock of hair, but he is being very careful. Just as careful as Aoba! ]}

I think it is beautiful. ♡ What cool shades of blue it is! It is my favorite color, remember.. it's my color!

[ Aoba was distracted so he doesn't realize what he's doing until he's already there, getting all up close and personal and speaking affectionately while he's this close...?! Aoba instinctively releases his hair in favor of closing around Karamatsu's wrist. He's touching his hair! Like he didn't even hear him that he didn't like it at all! ]

I-it's always been blue. It's not like I dyed it or anything. [ So it's his color too! ] And! Wh-what's the point of asking if you're just going to do it anyway?

[ And yet his response isn't angry, it's flustered with a slight trace of annoyance. ]

Although, if you're careful, I guess it's fine... [ Aoba holds his breath, glancing away for a moment as he mutters. ] A-anyway...

I already knew you liked blue, it doesn't take a genius. So... what else... do you like?

You. I like you.

_{[ MOVING ON... ]}

_{[ He lets Aoba's hair go, carefully, and then places his hands in both of his back pockets of his white slacks. Seriously, was he going to go back outside with just a blazer and pants on? ]}

A-ah.. I do like barley tea a good bit. There is nothing more satisfying than that! Especially if the meal is meat wrapped in meat.. I like.. perfect fashion! Fashion magazines and cologne... I also enjoy playing the guitar and singing to everyone!

[ Aoba reddens a bit more, making a stifled sound in his nose. This guy... ]

[ But it's really not a big deal, is it? It's nothing to get worked up over, after all...they've done a lot more than just said those three words. Right. This is just two bros hanging out talking about stuff and things and it's been practically a month since all that wild stuff went down at the club.

Aoba folds his arms and leans his head to the side. He already knew about that meat-wrapped-in-meat and fashion and honestly he had to talk to him more about his love of cologne. But anyway. ]

Didn't you tell me all this the first time we met? [ Or close enough. He remembers there was an open mic night and the rest is a blur of embarrassment. ] Tell me something I don't know.

What about things you hate?

_{[ Tell Aoba something he doesn't know? That's really personal! He doesn't like to dwell on the things he hates-- it kind of shows what an awful person he is. ]}

Uh, well.. why would we want to talk about something so negative?

[ Aoba blinks, then smiles. ]

...That's really a good point. And here I was starting off with that.

Still, you'll tell me if I do something you hate, right? I don't want to make some blunder that causes you to regret getting -- [ close to me, he wants to say. ] Uh. Honest.

[ It's a clumsy save, but whatever. ]

Anyway, I'm ready, so... won't you put on a shirt so we can head out?

I don't understand why I have to put a shirt on.
_{[ that's .. really all he says in regards to all of this. How stubborn. ]}

Because it's early spring. Do you want to catch a cold?

[ Aoba turns to a set of drawers and starts to pick through it, then pulls out a few. Black, white or light blue. None have decals or patterns. ]

Besides, I think some places will turn us away because you're not wearing a shirt.

_{[ Oh no, Aoba is about to share his clothes with him. This is extra-cute and Karamatsu is a little aggravated with how cute he finds it. ]}

Not if I charm my way in! Aoba, I'm sorry to say, bu the clothes you are offering to me aren't quite my taste.
_{[ not flashy enough.. ]}

... [ Charm his way in, huh? Somehow he doesn't see that actually working with any measure of success. Aoba thinks this part of him is annoying, but there's a weird sort of enjoyment in it too. In a way, he thinks this is kind of... endearing. Like a puppy who is just so happy and excited about biting balloons even though it can never quite get a good grip on it. ]

Kara-kun, you're wearing all white. If anything, a little bit of color would add to your ensemble, right?

[ Aoba's no fashionista (OBVIOUSLY, LOOK AT HIM) but he takes the light blue shirt and offers it, then pushes it against his chest. ]

I don't have anything with glitter on it, so please just -- [ Cover your naked chest plz ] bear with it for a little while. For me.

_{[ For Aoba, huh? It's not what he wants to do, but he finally takes the shirt in his hands and gives Aoba a gentle smile. ]}

As you wish, honey-- sweet Aoba. I have no choice when you use words such as for me, for I am a servant to you to do your bidding.. if it's for you.
_{[ wow, AMAZING. Look, he's taking off the blazer and slipping the shirt on with ease. ]}

S-servant...?

[ Oh god. He just said it without thinking. Something he's been doing a lot lately, blurting out 'for me' knowing full well what kind of power that phrase holds. Aoba instantly feels guilty, and just as he tries to soothe that feeling away by thinking that it's all for a good cause, Karamatsu starts out with those terms of endearment and then starts taking his blazer off. He's actually doing it, and while he's grateful he's finally putting on another layer for warmth (and decency) he can't shake off the fact that he totally manipulated him. On purpose.

So he'll just change the subject. ]

Just now, you reminded me of this other guy I used to know. Kind of quirky, like you, but he was always calling me 'Master' for some reason.

Other guy? Ah, do I have some competition, then?
_{[ he's so.. casual about this now... ]}

Heh. I do not think I would go that far unless you wanted me to, Aoba. I'm the sole driver of my own journey.. _{[ but you just said... ]}
Doing favors to make somebody I care about happy versus beckoning to their every will is a little different.
_{[ looks like he's learned about this somewhere down the road.. ]}
