[... He blinks.]

--eating pizza?

[handfast]

[ he's in the middle of taking a bite when tsukasa bursts in the second time. he lowers his pizza and then holds it out. ]

Want some? It's pretty bad.

[ this is not the face of a man who's been kidnapped ]

[aspirings]

[...

Tsukasa just walks over to the table.

Sits on the other side.

And lets his face gently fall forward to rest against the table.

Gnnnghhh.]

... Glad you're okay.

[handfast]

[ hak reaches over with his stupid long arms to patpat tsukasa on the back. ]

I'm surprised you cared enough to come looking for me.

[aspirings]

[Tsukasa is upright immediately at that, aghast and offended.]

Wha--of course I do! Why was that even in question?!

[handfast]

[ just.

kind of stares at tsukasa. ]

Because I've always done this to you?

[ when has he not bullied poor tsukasa? ]

[aspirings]

[Just... staring back...]

Yes, well. Whether or not you're a bully has nothing to do with whether or not I'd be concerned for you.

You can be very weird sometimes, but I still care about your well being!

[handfast]

[ aw.....that makes his heart warm ]

I won't do it again. [ ... ] Well, pretending to be kidnapped. I'll still send you weird messages though.

[aspirings]

Thank you. I appreciate that. Not the weird messages. The not pretending to be kidnapped part. I don't think my heart could take it.

[He is acknowledging that he will fall for it literally every single time...]

[handfast]

[ tsukasa how are you going to be a star like this.... ]

Do you get messages like that a lot? From people pretending to be kidnapped?

[aspirings]

[We all wonder how he'll survive showbiz.]

What? No, of course not. Why would I?

[handfast]

[ thinks about this.......decides not to answer. takes another bite of pizza instead. ]

Why'd you think my compact was haunted?

[aspirings]

[Without hesitation:]

Because you sent that strange message!

It was like chainmail spam! I really thought something had happened... I didn't think you'd voluntarily send something like that.

[handfast]

I didn't want to end up in the cage.

[ he says this so seriously ]

[aspirings]

[HE SAYS IT SO SERIOUSLY.]

Don't tell me you really believed that!

[handfast]

We'll see who's laughing when there's a cage next week.

[ continues eating his pizza ]

[aspirings]

[He just stares at Hak for a long moment.

And then sighs and reaches for a piece of pizza.

They will just eat in deadpan silence, I think, so I'll free you from this thread so I can pester you at the party instead.]
