[Tsukiyama seems in high spirits tonight; it's a combination of his physical condition having taken an obvious upswing today and the motive going over well, really. It's a nice reprieve from everything the weekend decided to be; his energy is obvious when he goes to see Ryuunosuke that night.

The knock comes more from habit than necessity by this point; he's sort of wondering how Ryuunosuke took the motive, honestly, because Tsukiyama has definitely noticed the similarity between what he's been told about the Holy Grail War and this and he doesn't doubt that Ryuunosuke's done the same. At the same time, he also believes Ryuunosuke entirely when he says there's nothing that he wants from the Grail; it follows, then, that there's probably not much he wants here, either. Just the same, it's...interesting, really, and one of several things on Tsukiyama's mind.

Not like it's putting a damper on his mood any, though; god, today has been good.]

[Tsukiyama freezes up at that, his hand falling still against Ryuunosuke's hair; he can feel where his breath caught in his chest, and it takes him a moment to regain composure, to try to force down the urge to figure out what even caused that because now isn't the time - ]

Then we don't need his motive.

[His words are tight, but they're firm; just the same, they're picking up speed at a decent clip, even though he doesn't seem aware of it.]

We're going to get out of here of our own volition - we'll win the game, and you'll get what you want. You'll come back with me, and I'll...I'll make you happy, I'll make you so happy, just stay with me...

[He turns enough so that he can get a good look at Tsukiyama when his words start speeding up, but it isn't long before Ryuunosuke's got a hand clenched in front of his mouth like this will somehow hide his expression. He's flushed and his eyes are wide and for some reason he's trembling and he has no idea what the hell his emotions are doing, but they're certainly doing a thing. When he can finally force himself to speak his voice shakes a bit, but it's surprisingly more controlled than his expression.]

Y-Yeah... yeah. We will. We definitely will. We'll... We'll go back together and...

[He forces his hand down to rest on his knees. He's not exactly relaxed though he's not sure if he's worked up because of whatever he's feeling or if it's because he's excited.]

And I'll stay with you forever. I'll never leave your side - I promise!

[He shouldn't promise such a thing so easily. He shouldn't be able to promise it. But here he is and he doesn't regret it at all, even if he still feels really weird and he's still shaking a bit.]

[preybeforemeals]

...All right.

[And that...seems to center him for some reason; he's not one for physical affection, not really, but he sort of leans up against Ryuunosuke anyway and nuzzles into him a bit before pulling away.

...There's going to be glitter everywhere, but he doesn't particularly mind it for now.]

Relax a bit, amore. We don't have to talk about it anymore.

[greatestcool]

[He returns the nuzzling a bit before Tsukiyama pulls away, but that seems to have settled him better. He's no longer shaking though his eyes are still weirdly bright.]

Alright. I'm not upset though, so you don't have to worry about that!

[It's teasing though, because of course it is.]
