"Yeah alright." He nods, forgetting what he was scowling for to begin with.
And it ain't everyday he gets to patrol with Umemiya. Really, it's actually his first time. This could be good. If they come across trouble, he'll get to fight along side him too!
OK so that got his attention. He even brightens up. He's come to really enjoy patrolling. Granted it has its tedious moments but helping out the town in anyway they are able has become something he's found purpose in.
Plus there was the possibility of food.
โ
"What about if we went on patrol together? Just you and me. Might even be able to check out the town. I could even show you a few good places that serve great food."
"Are you any good?" He decides to say something rather than let Umemiya do all the talking. He kinda appreciated the care or whatever soโ "at cooking?"
He nods. Music he can handle when it ain't being sung to him live. He side glances as the elder speaksโ it seems he's taking this vegetables thing for Sakura seriously. So he can't exactly turn him down but he wasn't lying about forcing his helping down Umemiya's throat.
โ
Who the hell said anyone said that!??? Tchโ even if there was, it's not important enough for you to go out demanding a fight.
[OK so he's heard it practically most his childhood, right up until he'd come here but stillโ how the fuck did HE know??]
[T-this guy๐ขโ]
Rooftop.
[His house will be too much. He was nervous enough visiting Nireisโhe might not even step inside Umemiya's]
If you sing another damn song like that, I'm shoving the food you bring down your throat!
He doesn't say more as Umemiya comes even closer, his fangs however evident, hands up as if it'll keep the elder at bay, almost mimicking Umemiya who was doing the same.
He'd once thought Suล was bad when it came to reigning a reaction out out him but he had nothing on Umemiya. So open and forward about himself, Sakura struggled. How could he not? When people ever growled at him, insulted him or avoided him? Thisโ whatever this wasโ was new.
โ
"I'm fucking serious!" He snaps when the senior takes a step closerโ yet he doesn't move. Even as Umemiya slowly closes the gap between them inch by slow inch.
This is nothing like he's even experienced, he'd rather they just fight it out.
โ
Shitโ he watches with nervous breaths as Umemiya recovers. He hadn't exactly held back. But then again, he's come to understand that as he is now, he's no match for him. Not by far. Still, seeing how quickly the teen straightens, looking like nothing had happened, he huffs.
โ
"Sorry sorry, Sakura, I couldn't help it. Guess I pushed your buttons too much right?" Umemiya replied as he held his hands up and slowly took a step towards him but held still not wanting to scare him away. ". . . Let me make it up to you. I promise no more singing for now."
He avoids all eye contact, looking anywhere but at his school leader and Furin's greatestโ
"Keep your compliments to yourself." Because he was sure the other meant it and so it was harder to handle.
He was only ever criticized for his looks. He'd become so used to it that any pleasant comments towards, especially his hair and eyes were foreign. And it's because he believed the elder that it flustered him so.
Still warm in the face, he grumbles,
"Fine. Justโ"
โ
he probably wasn't used to anyone giving him compliments.
"Okay okay, I'll stop, I can't not talk to you though, that would be kinda silly don't you think?"
[It's never ending when he's around Umemiya. Is it always going to be like this now? He doesn't know how much more he can actually take before he breaks]
Ineedyoutostoptalkingtome!!
[Or at least have a proper fucking conversation because thisโ he can't handle this!]
No? I'm perfectly fine. What? Has no one ever told you that you've got nice eyes? Well it's true, you do! And you can believe me because I wouldn't lie to ya!
@_Azureflame [Does he even know what the hell he's saying?]
D-did you hit your head??
[He's once again, all thanks to this leader of theirs, red all over and he's barely keeping his cool.]
"Uhโ" He hesitates before reaching for a bottle of water. He ain't one to take from others so this will do.
"Thanks." His gaze continues to scan here and there. It's just really nice.
"Do you like here with your parents?"
He follows, sticking perhaps a Lil too close but he ain't gonna bother worrying about distance right now. This is new territory and he doesn't wanna fuck it up.
It's actually really nice, and cozy. Nothing like his lonesome apartment with his single futon and small kitchen.
โ
"I was gonna go to the kitchen. Sorry, I know it's a little awkward, huh? C'mon! We can do everything together." ๐ถ
He leads Sakura along, slipping out the cake he'd gotten. Strawberry... โจ๏ธ
"You can take whatever drink you want. I got them for everyone! There's water, too."
He was going to fucking short circuit! This was not what he'd thought would happen coming here. Yeah, so Furin continues to surprise him but this?? THIS??? THIS WAS CRAZY!
With the start of yet another songโ they're becoming predominantly more embarrassing than the lastโ
He pulls himself free and jumps back as if a cat. That phone was far too close to capturing something he knows he doesn't want a record of.
"STAY THE FUCK THERE!" He manages after heavy breaths, hissing at the white headed teen who seems way too happy about this!
