hmph.. flattening his hair out, crossing arms over his chest. he practically takes after her … but he can’t help the smile that reveals itself. “shu-niisan takes an inch of my kindNESS and goes a milE, HM..?” thank you. ~
rustling @alchemantics ‘s hair —— happy birthday ◝ boy. or ; should she simply say — natsume. ~ happy birthday ◝ hm ? even as he grows ◝ she will always watch out for him. that’s what it’s like to have a junior. 🤍
( eyeing him up and down, quirking a brow. nevermind it, then. )
of course my mommy’s amaZING. —don’t.. i know what i saiD, senpai.
( picking up the chopsticks and digging in, face lighting up against his will. it’s .. really good. )
⠀
( pleased smile. how thoughtful、 he’d hate to tease and ruin the moment. but he’ll keep it in mind for later. )
i know she did! i remember that so vividly~ your mother really is amazing.— now eat、 you don’t have all of the time in the world、 remember? hah.
⠀
( hum.. no. getting out of the chair and crossing his legs instead, sat in front of tsumugi. )
yeS, i underSTAND, my mommy would make THEM, too. i think they’re… niCE.
⠀
( holding out the box and chopsticks sitting on the floor. how awkward — does he not have another chair 💧 ? )
i’m sorry、 natsume-kun. but it’s worth it、 i have to be careful or else the little octopi will lose shape . . what do you think ?
⠀
hmph. well, i suppose it wouldn’t hurT. it’s not necessary to force ME.
( spinning around to face him in his swivel chair, with a faux annoyance typical of natsume. )
i said i have tiME, not all the time in the worlD. come on, senpai.
⠀
i made it this morning before i went to work、 come、 don’t let it be wasted. . . .though、 i can’t force you. . 💧
( turning away to rummage through a bag. out is pulled two little bento boxes. you can guarantee they’re cutely organised inside. )
please? just eat.
⠀
( brows furrow, lips slowly parting. closing back in a frown. )
when did you have time to do thaT? i thought you were… mph. if i take a breaK, it can’t be for LONG. either WAY, i don’t need ONE.
hm. it’s good to know you … recognize my effORTS. and sora is a smart boy; he would succeed either waY, i’m SURE.
( ordering vials in slots, then folding his arms and looking up to tsumugi. )
why would i do THAT?
⠀
it really is inspiring、no wonder sora-kun keeps up so effortlessly. you brush it off~
( such a hypocrite — but can you blame him ? he wants his Full company. )
i’m happy for you. so now that you’ve made progress、 would . . . it hurt you to take break?
⠀
i’ll kick you ouT, mophead. YES, i always work harD, it’s necessary for these types of things and— i enjoy it. obviousLY.
( huff. )
… i’ve been working on this for awhile NOW. it pleases me to see such promising reSULTS.
⠀
( fond chuckle、 hovering over his shoulder. )
mhm、 sure it is. or — maybe i just enjoy your company? you’ve been working hard、 it’s motivating. and it paid off、 look at that. how long have you been testing this?
( SO FOND. :))) )
⠀
you— don’t— say things like THAT. ah.. howEVER, if being in my presence helped you work quickER, then my magic is rubbing off on YOU~ HAH. ♪
( —ignoring the fact he was laughing and grinning completing his experiment. )
⠀
i don’t talk that much. . . 💧、 i’ve been busy. i had to get through my work、didn’t i? being around you helped me work that little bit faster、 so thank you、 natsume-kun. :]]]]
