[He could've put Yogi down so long ago...or at least just as soon as he closed the weird floordoor.
But that's no information he's sharing right now. In fact, he's not talking anymore. With both hands free, he seizes Mochi by either side of his face, draws him in close and...
WAY TOO HARD, too forceful for already being uncomfortably close to the guy. Their mouths collide in an extremely literal, sloppy sense but...
He's not even bothering to fix it, or draw back and apologize. That's life. Not bad for his first time willingly kissing a dude.]
[ Kuramochi's frown is going to further down even more when he realizes Momo is not planning to answer. ]
Hey, you ig-- [ And his unable to complete his question because it turns into muffles as he's pulled into a messy kiss. Well that's a lot more forceful than the one he gave.
As much as he wants to pull away to demand for the reason, he's pretty much stuck in his place with 1) Momo holding onto his face, and 2) Yogi's still in his arms. So all he can do is try to lean away as he gives a murmur of protest through the liplock. ]
[Minimal brain functionality provides enough insight to the fact that Kuramochi isn't having a good time right now. He releases the boy's face and straightens his own posture. He'd blinks once, twice, then mops at a corner of his lip with the knuckle of his forefinger, like he smeared lipstick or something in the process of smooching.
Of course, he hadn't. It's just -- there's a weird feeling left in the wake of taking the plunge, so to speak.]
It's...it's definitely weird, doing that with you, but..that's not -- I don't mean it in a bad way?! So don't get pissed off at me for saying so.
[ Kuramochi's a little out of breath from trying to talk through the kiss that he doesn't give his usual death glae, but more of a frown as he squats down to let Yogi out of his arms.
His mind's a little too overwhelmed to hear all of Momo's words as he stays in his squatting position. Momo initiated the kiss. Does that mean that he's trying to return the feelings? Or is he trying to mess around? He's afraid to ask, especially because there's a part of himself feeling overly optimistic about this entire situation. ]
I...I ain't gonna get pissed... [ He says in a quieter tone than he'd like. ] ...But is that supposed to mean...?
[ "that you like me back?" is what he wants to say, but he can't get himself to talk further, as he looks up at Momo from his spot with an unsure look. ]
[Once Yogi scampers off like nothing's happening, and Momo squats down to occupy the spot beside Mochi. At his level.]
It's...
[Everything's happening so fast; realistically, having a few days to think about this would be optimal, even for someone as quick-paced as Momotarou. He may obsess over Gou, Gou-related things and things comparable to Gou -- like girls in general, but consenting to this doesn't mean he has to reject...
Girls entirely. Pursuing them, maybe -- which is a painful thing to consider, but he'd have to consider that kinda thing regardless of gender. Commitment carries certain rules with it.]
We've been taking care of eachother for a while now, right?
[That's an extremely loose way to define it, but he's being borderline romantic rn.]
Yeah, but-- [ You like girls. Kuramochi does too, and he completely understands how weird it'd be to date a guy after trying to go after girls.
To be frank, Kuramochi was half expecting Momo to reject his confession because of how hung up Momo was before regarding girls. It would have made total sense, and he would've been fine for the most part. Yeah, there would be heartbreak, but at least it would square away his feelings and leave it at that.
[It's a good thing that most potential disappointments can be conquered by bringing sports into the picture. Potential heartbreaking scenario? What could be worse than being trumped by some irrelevant little shit in your area of expertise?]
But what?! You were gonna say something before that, and unless you have something special planned, I won't let you beat me just because you're a senpai.
... [ He's not even sure if he wants to bring it up now. Especially not when Momo's being dumb with sports talk. ] This relationship stuff ain't the same as baseball, alright? I ain't gonna go easy on you just 'cause I like you!
[ ...He thought about going against his initial thought, but it's Important Stuff, so he's going to go with it anyways.
He gives a sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. ]
...What I was going to say was that I know you didn't think about datin' guys before. I know you'd prefer goin' out with girls. [ Plus he hasn't heard a definite answer from Momo yet. He went and kissed, but that's not really an answer... ]
But if you're doin' this just cause I confessed to you [ twice ] and not 'cause you like me back, I ain't gonna deal with this.
[For whatever reason, discussing this topic with words is difficult. He's not the most eloquent -- never has been. That sort of stupidity's what prompted Shizu to fling him into the lake, Nonon to degrade him everytime they meet, it's why he and Asuka are rivals too.
But not like that. Not like this. He's not the champion gay guy here in Holly Heights, which is part of the problem.]
Everybody thinks about it sometimes.
[Like when your friends say imagine your grandmother naked and it just happens. It's a thought most people have at some point, probably? Be it in passing or...deeper. He'll wander over to his bed with that, merely to have a seat.
He's got a chair by his computer desk just nearby, if Mochi feels inclined.]
If you think we should try it, I'm gonna trust you. In the end, you might not want to be with me.
[And he flops onto his back to stare up at the ceiling for clarity.]
Even after all this trouble, I'm really hard to keep up with, you know.
[It's like he's consciously aware of how awful he is 24/7. A new revelation just for Kuramochi.]
If you still want to try it, I'll try it with you. You might not have boobs, but maybe the rest of you can make up for it.
[Which is probably a...somewhat joke. That, and being a pervert comes extremely easy for him.]
[ That's so unfair. He's the one who started all this, and Momo's the one taking up acting a little cool. Not that he'll ever admit it out loud. Cool, but Kuramochi doesn't really like how Momo's stressing it all onto him. ] Why's it gotta be me, huh?
[ What about you? is what he'd say next, if it weren't for what Momo says next. Is that supposed to be a challenge? You know how it is with competitive athletes and challenges...
[ Curves aside, he's not scary-looking or ugly, and probably can pass off as a girl if a wigs put on along with a dress. Just a thought--
He shakes his head. He needs to stop letting the conversations getting sidetracked... ]
...Gonna get back before the boob talk, but... You really gonna be okay with this, to try datin' a guy when you hadn't even thought about it before? Don't put me as an excuse, 'cause what you told me a minute ago ain't gonna cut it.
[ "I accepted it" he says. Does it really mean it's okay to keep this going? In all honesty, he's been expecting Momo to reject him all this time... but now that it's clearer it won't be happening any time soon, Kuramochi's at a loss. It's not a bad thing, obviously, that he's not getting rejected. But what would you even do when the other person accepts your feelings? ]
It ain't that I ain't accepting it... I just didn't think you'd accept?
[ He's going to take that computer chair now, moving over to it and flopping into the seat, his arms folded across his chest. ] I totally thought you'd rejected it, 'cause wouldn't it be freaky for a guy to confess to you more than once?
...Well sorry it was out of the blue, I would've done a better job at this shit if it weren't for the love potion.
[ it's questionable if it would have been better, really. kuramochi wouldn't have been the one to confess first if it weren't for the love potion incident. ]
[Everything is surprising to Momo 100% of the time. Though, if he were in Mochi's shoes, he'd definitely remember everything.
Makes sense.
He's unmoving as the bed depresses under Kuramochi's weight, his pulse only spiking once Mochi leans over him. He blinks once, twice -- consecutively, quickly. There's an auto-blush.]
Hey...
[He whine about him getting too close; Momo just kissed him a second ago. It's an almost-kneejerk gripe, like he forgot the entire conversation he just had.
But it never finds a voice. He just stares, owly-eyed.]

no subject
You just skipped really far ahead! If you started wearing dresses, you'd look really weird anyway. You don't have to start doing that...

I'm not gonna do it either.
[Not again.]
