The Last Supper - Taisho Roman Revolution

[idolpro]

[ The elevator lets you out into a private room: from the decor, it is doubtlessly an enclave of the restaurant you saw earlier on screen.

Your phones have filled with a rather sizable rule list. ]

[sonof]

Neither way around sounds like very much fun.

[hashtagaesthetic]

I want to say something about losing our minds maybe even being a reprieve, but... it might feel too much like the house.

[sonof]

[ hah ]

That one wasn't much of a reprieve, no.

[hashtagaesthetic]

So this likely won't be either.

[sonof]

With each time it comes a little easier, at least.

[hashtagaesthetic]

Does it...

[sonof]

Perhaps only because I started off at a disadvantage, in some ways.

[hashtagaesthetic]

You did?

[you lost him bud]

[sonof]

...

[ turns a little to face him more and curls his fingers to beckon him to lean down some ]

[hashtagaesthetic]

[dips down, cooperative.]

[sonof]

[ sticks his thumb and forefinger in his mouth and pulls slightly at his tongue ]

I took this very poorly.

[hashtagaesthetic]

[oh. that had only partially sunk in before now.]

[sonof]

And I was out for who knows how long after the other, after fainting like a rabbit.

[ lets go, leaning heavily against him again ]

[hashtagaesthetic]

[mmmm tugs him into an actual hug.]

Not an unreasonable reaction, honestly.

[sonof]

[ turns his face and kind of mumbles into his chest ]

Isn't it?

[hashtagaesthetic]

It's not. The situation is what's unreasonable.

[sonof]

[ AND YET NO ONE ELSE HAD TO SIT IN THEIR ELEVATOR FOR LIKE AN HOUR AFTER THAT OTHER GAME HMMM

buries his face in his shirt and goes quiet ]

[hashtagaesthetic]

I know it's tempting to compare your reactions to others, but...

[but he's not with it enough to finish the thought, really.]

[sonof]

It doesn't matter now.

[hashtagaesthetic]

It does so matter.

[but he doesn't have the power to keep this up.]

[sonof]

Like I said. It comes easier every time.

[hashtagaesthetic]

...I think it's getting harder, for me.

[sonof]

[ how does that work ]

...

Well, that's unfortunate, isn't it.

[hashtagaesthetic]

[painfully, thanks for asking.]

It is.

[sonof]

Then perhaps eventually I'll be the one to shield you, instead.
