[it really wasn't a rejection it just also wasn't a yes

but

well here we go!! sparring time. jan i'm never going to want to write a fight scene just because. can we fastforward as usual as i remind you about mineo's biceps]

[enfangs]

[STOP

but yea fastforward]

[sengokus]

[no

anyway after they spar mineo is just going to collapse on the floor again, exhaling out a tired breath]

Phew....!

[a beat]

... do you think we should start getting ice ready beforehand...?

[instead of just. having to get their asses to the kitchen after]

[enfangs]

[white also flops onto the floor.]

... Heh. Well, too late for that now, but maybe it's an idea for next time.

[sengokus]

[he just snorts at that]

Yeah, you'll need way more ice than I do by then.

[they keep drawing, i don't know why mineo says this with confidence. but he'll stretch out anyway]

Take a breather and then let's go?

[enfangs]

I should be saying that to you.

[as mineo stretches, white follows suit, almost as reflex, before he just lies down.]

Sure thing.

[sengokus]

[yea i guess they are just literally flopping on the floor.]

Probably the only way you can really get your Wrath indulgence this week, huh? I wonder how everyone else is gonna manage...

[enfangs]

[he just groans.]

This sucks...

[HOW DO PEOPLE MANAGE SAYING ONLY NICE THINGS]

[sengokus]

[there's just a laugh]

I don't think it's that bad.... People have to be nice to you too, right?

[enfangs]

Yeah, but they don't mean it, so what's the point?

[sengokus]

They probably mean it more than you think.

[or at least - he's assuming?]

You kind of just assume you're unpopular when I'm pretty sure it's the opposite....

[enfangs]

[he just gives mineo a dead look because people normally make fun of him SO MUCH]

[sengokus]

[there's just a little bit of a laugh at that]

I know that it can come off harsh and it's not fun when it's happening but...

I think it's a lot easier to ignore people you completely hate. So if someone gives you a little grief or teases you, or even if they're harsh on you -

That's still someone showing they care. Or maybe that's just how I have to see it...

[because a lot of people are mean to him,]

[enfangs]

... Think you and I might be coming from different experiences here—but whatever. I don't really care what people think of me, at this point.

[sengokus]

I think we are too...

But at least here - that's the impression I get, when people tease you. I don't think anyone actually dislikes you. Takeru aside but don't take it personally, he hates everyone.

[enfangs]

It's not that, it's that they're full of bullshit this week so it doesn't exactly feel good. Sheila's constantly on my case for my temper—you really think she meant it when she suddenly declared today that I have a "lovely personality"?

[sengokus]

[he tilts his head at that]

I mean... both things can be true, right...

[enfangs]

I think... [be nice be nice] ... you're inclined to see the better side of things.

[sengokus]

... maybe...

I just think you're good the way you are - and you do have a temper. So like... you know. Both.

[he wouldn't use the word "lovely personality" because that's not in his general vocabulary but. the sentiment hopefully carries]

[enfangs]

That's because you're... you.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

Y-Yeah?

Who else would I be? I guess I'm not Molly....

[enfangs]

You're, uh... particularly tolerant of certain things.

[sengokus]

[ . . . well that manages to get him to sit up a little from where he's lounging, glancing over at white]

.... I guess it comes off that way, huh?

[enfangs]

[...

he sits up as well.]

All right, what are you thinking?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . well.]

I'm going to be honest, I'm probably overthinking stuff again.
