Week 2; Tuesday (Sousei and Jae-ha)

[discardia]

[ It's rare that she actually sees the two of them together, despite them being partners-- and for a minute, Cardia hesitates to call out to them when she does .

But then, after a few more seconds, she appears to have made up her mind, since-- ]

Excuse me!

Comments

[disilluded]

[Honestly, being interrupted is probably a godsend, all things considered--

So Sousei just glances over, arching an eyebrow.]

Cardia? What is it?

[alttitude]

[why won't sousei admit he loves him yet

anyway Jae-ha will also glance over, perking up as he greets her in return.]

The lovely Miss Cardia! Hello. ♥

[discardia]

[ There's a nod-- and then, after a pause, she's looking at them both very seriously. ]

There's something I'd like to talk to the both of you about. Is there somewhere we could go?

[disilluded]

[a beat, and Sousei glances from Cardia to Jae-ha and then:]

Our room should be fine, if you are comfortable with that option.

[alttitude]

Sure, I have nothing to hide.

[just a room full of fucking blankets that he hasn't bothered to return]

[discardia]

... Thank you. That should work.

[disilluded]

[And, tartly, to Jae-ha:]

I was not referring to you.

[He only cares about Cardia's comfort, thanks.]

This way, then.

[alttitude]

[for fuck's sake]

Isn't he mean to me, lovely Miss Cardia?

If I didn't know that that's how he shows affection, I would be concerned.

[discardia]

He's only like that with people he likes?

[ ... oh. He's never been like that to her. ]

[disilluded]

[way to go Jae-ha.

Sousei just frowns.]

Do not listen to that idiot, Cardia. You are far more acceptable company than he is.

[alttitude]

- did I say likes?

I meant hates.

He hates me.

[WHY IS IT STILL SO EASY TO MAKE CARDIA SAD]

Do you hear that? Absolute disdain.

[discardia]

You two...

[ Cardia looks between the two of them, brows furrowed. ]

You're not regretting being partners, are you?

[disilluded]

"Regret" is a strong word.

[Sousei admits that slowly, frowning.]

The other option was death, after all.

[alttitude]

[Meanwhile:]

I think the situation is ideal.

[discardia]

... Ah.

You two really are friends.

[ kind of. ]

[disilluded]

Excuse me? We are nothing of the sort.

[Stooop.]

[alttitude]

[Jae-ha nods.]

At least two of us are able to see clearly here! You have a good eye, dear Cardia.

[discardia]

Sousei has difficulty processing emotions, but if he didn't care, I don't think he would involve himself.

And he does. That's what I like about him.

[ sorry, Sousei. ]

[disilluded]

Trouble... processing--

Excuse me?

[CARDIA...WHAT...]

Would you like to rephrase that?

[alttitude]

[Pardon Jae-ha.

He thinks.

This is hilarious.

Snerk.]

[discardia]

No.

[ calmly. ]

You do, and you're bad at accepting compliments.

[disilluded]

[fuckin' rude]

I do not require this sass from you, Cardia. Keep it to yourself.

[alttitude]

[is it jae-ha's birthday

he thinks it is

because he's just over here, clutching his stomach and cracking up]

But she's right! She's so right!

[discardia]

... Well, it's true that it isn't what I came to talk to you about...

[ but she's right, okay. ]

[disilluded]

[Look, it's their room! Sousei is just nudging Cardia in. If Jae-ha isn't quick he's definitely going to slam the door in his face.]

Get down to business, then.
