[it's weird to hear his own voice that's not really his own voice. it is, but he doesn't remember recording it or hearing the resulting ruckus of things being thrown. doesn't remember recording it now anyway.

but man, is the difference between that sena and this sena great. tone deaf... but hard working. not that this sena isn't hard working, but his pretty voice is already shaped, already honed like a sword, and well-taken care of to boot.

still, leo finds he likes the voice on the ipod, the sena who is tone deaf.]

... W~ow, talk about embarrassing. [the leo in their memories, too.] If that was their first meeting, then I guess he isn't very smooth either. I'm glad, he got the same sort of treatment I did~.

[small. small victories.]

[ the bar is already set low on the ground, leo! you're getting a hard pinch on the cheek for that. ]

I guess some things just never change, huh?!

[ hmph! but hearing how that leo sounded more genuine and less sleazy with his praise makes sena prefer him more than the boy in front of him. how annoying. with that's done, he's tugging the earbud off leo's ear and stashing it away in his pocket, leaning back into his seat with his arms crossed. nnn, that was suuuuper embarrassing, wasn't it. ]

...I sounded horrible, didn't I.

An offense to mankind in its entirety, yup.

[at least that stays the same. the bluntness. he rubs his cheek and grins again, prodding sena in the side.]

But you definitely must've gotten better. ♪ Good for you~. Ah, but that was super weird, huh? Hearing ourselves like that. I think the last time I sounded like that was... Mmm, a bit ago now.

[leo pauses, smile faltering a tiny bit, but then it ticks back up.]

You can tell they're still young~. Isn't youth great? This give me hope for Tsuka-tan too~.

[ oh, right, they were both in high school at the time... ]

Why do we keep getting memories from high school in particular, anyway... That phase in every person's life is sooo overrated in my opinion.

[ seriously, where are the coveted college memories? would he have married someone in that life as well? who knows. ]

Kasa-kun does have potential, I'll give him that. He was able to keep up with me in dance practice when we were both performing for that live last year.

[as someone who never went to high school, he is literally living vicariously through himself, so he doesn't say anything to that. he knows that there's reasons people don't do it after all, why they might drop out or hate it.]

That's because Tsuka-tan gives his all in whatever he does..♪ It's admirable, right?! Don't you just want to cheer him on when he's so cutely determined?! Ah, ahhh, my precious Tsuka-tan's gonna cinch whatever dream he's got..~

[he. he really is an entirely different person talking about tsukasa.]

[ he really is, and it's weirding sena out a tad. ]

I guess? He sure is pretty determined once someone or something catches his eye. He can be a too much of a brat though - I had to put up with him when we were both at hell together.

[ MORE LIKE THE OTHER WAY AROUND, SENA, ]

I bet he had to put up with you, Mr. Faints Easily. ♪

[with a little elbow to sena's side.]

I bet you're the type to complain nonstop like all that hot air would help your temperature.

I don't even know how you found out about that... He told you, didn't he?

[ he's sharpening his knife, kasa-kun ]

Look, I just can't stand the heat, okay? We were fucking underground with all the lava rivers and shit; how would you NOT faint down there more than once? Give me some slack.

No, a cute girl with a cute laugh told me. They're friends! She was telling me a~ll about how he's been, the sort of friends he made..♪ But you're right, anyone'd faint from something like that, just like anyone would steal a billion blankets and cocoon with them in the middle of a frozen wasteland, housed in a nice resort. Right?

[validate him.]

No.

[ there were a lot of objectively cute girls with objectively cute laughs in their group... wonder who that bitch is. ]

Why not? Tell me what's wrong with that, Mitzy.

[you will never guess that bitch.]

I'm just not interested. In cuddling, that is. I'm still considering if you're good enough for me.

[ we'll see, ho ]

Oh, so I'm under consideration~?

[i'm so sorry.]

[ no you're not ]

Do you want me in your stupid band or not?

[leo levels a stare at him and then looks away with a small grin, kicking his feet lightly as he steals another piece of sushi.]

I do, I do. But I couldn't resist, you know? Low hanging fruit, right there..♪

[ squiiiiiiiints

and then steals a piece of his sushi as payback ]

You really are that desperate, aren't you... [ SIGH ] I guess I should throw you a bone every once in a while just to shut you up. But I'm sure you still remember what happens if you go out of line, right?

[ smiling, almost catlike. kasa-kun's literally a phonecall away, did you know? ♪ ]

[his lips twists down in a scowl and he rolls his eyes.]

Yeah, yeah, I know~. You've got my Tsuka-tan on speed dial. I'm keeping to my PG flirts for you. Nothing racy, nothing over the line, just sweet and cute and totally harmless. Like I'm charming a delicate maiden.

[humph.]

[ he'd rather not have him flirt at all but he supposes that it'll do. ]

Excuse you, I'm not delicate. I'm stronger than you think.

[ he does remember that comment arashi made in his memories that he was blushing up a storm like a maiden - did he really look like that? in that case he'll try his best not to show that side around this guy at all costs.

hmph. ]

Anyways, are we done here? Oh - [ right, before he forgets. just going to pull his ipod out again and hand it to leo, closing his hands carefully over the gadget. ] Take care of it, all right?

With your attitude, could've ne~ver guessed...

[but a grumble is a grumble and his gaze flicks back to sena at the hand off, gripping the ipod tighter as he tries not to shove it into his pocket.]

Mmm, yup, you're free to go. I won't keep you longer than you want. And I will, don't worry, music's important to me, remember? Even if you didn't treasure it [kind of a mean tease] I wouldn't lose it.

[ the cold stare that sena throws him at that offhanded comment is immense, but he'll say no more. this guy is simply unbearable, ugh!

yet he does place a couple of dollars on the table before getting up and leaving because he's not that kind of guy, at the very least. good thing he brought his motorbike today so that he can just bolt the fuck out of here. go home and ruminate what they've just talked about again.

they'll never going to be close like their former counterparts at this rate. it's fine. sena wants to turn over a new leaf, after all, so let bygones be bygones. even if it hurts a teeny bit. ]
