@PR0XYTH0N 〈 hair ruffled from behind, taking place at his side while he scans the shelves... 〉 huh... interesting stuff this week, proxy.

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

@guidingproxy_ can't get enough of me, hey?

〈 that was cheesy. that was incredibly cheesy. he winces, but manages to recover with an easy grin. 〉

i'll wait for you. could wander 'round for a bit, give myself a little break.

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

@guidingproxy_ you got it. pulchra and the others need me to pick some stuff up... kinda sweet, that she's warming up to us. oh, uh. don't tell her i said that though.

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

〈 nodding as a means of acknowledgement, eyes flickering up, down. remnants of a smile lingering. 〉

uh-huh.

〈 eyebrow raise. 〉

got somethin' you want to admit?

[phainon. @HELIOSEDICT]

freezes..

slowly looks up with a "deer in headlights" look to her.

" heyy lighter! "

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

you're right about them being cute. a little fat too, if i'm being honest. you guys spoil them?

〈 growing smile as he crouches, hesitance clear in the way he stretches out his hand. gotta sniff it first, right? something like that. 〉

by the way. did you come up with its name?

[𝕎𝕚𝕤𝕖 @NewEriduProxy]

Cat's really can be some little beast, but the ones here on sixth street are cute. Why dont you give it a try?

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

〈 it's not his thing, sustained eye contact. not that he'd let that be known, though. nah. he locks onto their gaze, offering a grin only possible with her mention of the outer ring. 〉

yeah? might happen sooner than you think.

[𝖋lesh ‍ ‍ ‍ to ‍ ‍ 𝑓lower. @somneira]

that's good.

( oh, not at all; this is just how she is, unfortunately. an espurr—stared girl in a normal—stared world..? head cants to one side. )

hmm... i'd like to see it someday. the outer ring, i mean.

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

yeah? i mean, never been a cat person, so i can't tell what these little guys like.

[𝕎𝕚𝕤𝕖 @NewEriduProxy]

Don't worry Lighter, Tumtum enjoys being patted like that

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

〈 trailing off, obvious surprise in his answer. 〉

er... thanks. had me thinking i might have to burn off this coupon alone. ever been to that hot pot place in lumina square?

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

〈 you make one wrong choice in words and suddenly you can't regret it anymore... ah, well. no use it feeling so awkward about it; hand rises to nape, rubbing absentmindedly. 〉

hey, i mean...

[ᅠᅠ‍ ‍ ݁ ‍ ⁎̲ ‍ ݁‍ ‍ 𝖍𝐚𝐫̲𝐮𝐦𝐚��𝐚 .ᐟ @electroquivers]

❪ genuine amusement tickles harumasa's features, making his expression soften juuuuuust a touch. not because lighter was particularly funny, but his reaction to 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘸𝘯 choice of word was pretty ridiculous. ❫

⠀lunch, huh...

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

that's some aggressive patting...

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

she's giggling a whole lot, over there...

[phainon. @HELIOSEDICT]

( snickering while scrolling through the interknot from her bed 🤭 )

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

〈 there's something he just can't put a finger on... yeah. it's that face. looks unimportant. 〉

what could a few fans do to me? light work.

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

〈 ... er. cool, cool. dusted off by a stranger is a little strange, maybe a little disorienting, but he manages all the same. 〉

hey, now...

[𝓵͟𝖚͟𝐜𝐤𝖞 ٠࣪⭑ 𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒕‎ ꮺ⭑.ᐟ @allmyluckystars]

❪⠀ brushing dust off his shoulder. little bunny sneeze. ⠀❫

i was beginning to think you'd been mauled by astranauts.

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

〈 something... something's on his face, isn't there? casual swipe of his palm to cheek, slid upwards to ruffle bangs in one smooth move. easy. 〉

ahem. i'd call it strategic retreat, actually. but, uh... it's not been too bad, out in the outer ring. had stuff to take care of.

[𝖋lesh ‍ ‍ ‍ to ‍ ‍ 𝑓lower. @somneira]

right, right.

( by contrast, she's staring directly at him. it hasn't been the same without his swagless looks and cringefail personality. kind of. )

what have you been up to, then? aside from running.

[ꕤ @LIGHTERISM]

✎ ⸝⸝⠀ my interest in this game wanes so easily but i'll forever hold dear writing harumasa and lighter. 🙂‍↕️. unfortunately i'm insanely rusty so catch me rewatching some of their scenes, lol.

[cayn @wiselorenzz]

/ 2.8 spoilers

HIS VOICE IS SO ATTRACTIVE I CANTT. and of course lighter reassures wise that he's always there for him… i love them

[panda 🇵🇸🍉 @meatypan]

I never put them next to each other
