Hah, we can ask Ai-san and the others about prices, then. Then we'll bring it back to the team and see about putting money together... but at least between you and me - we've got $38, I think?
[since their SHARKS ARE FREE]
Let's see if we're okay with spending maybe $18 on stuff. Your coffin and paint are fine with me - I can wait for my motorcycle. There's not even enough space to drive it around yet, so I'm not in a rush.
[buzen, when by himself: i want this thing so bad i will get it right away buzen, when the other option is spoiling matsui: i can wait :) ]
[Noooo NOOOOOOO HE'S SO WEAK... He sighs, reaching up to pull at Buzen's hair a little - a very gentle tug, one that isn't actually trying to regain any space.]
You don't have to make anything up to me. I... [...No he really very obviously doesn't like Rang, he fucking knows it.] ...If you want him to be a part of the team, then that is fine. I will make an effort to... speak with him on less harsh terms.
[he's tugged but matsui isn't actually trying to pull him away so i guess they're just going to have this conversation while their faces are really extremely close
but buzen just laughs at that, a little soft and amused sound]
I'm going to be honest with you, Matsu... I think I did something selfish. I'm glad we could team up with Dee-san, who you wanted, but...
[ . . . ]
I thought the three of us would be better with Rang-san, than if he was on a different team with other people who would have a harder time with him. [imagine rang on a team with humans, buzen would've felt so bad,] But it means that you're having kind of a tough time instead, and I don't really like that either...
But at least I can be here with you too - to maybe even things out a little.
Matsui frowns a little at that, though, because he thinks Buzen is the opposite of selfish and could - should - stand to be more selfish. He gives his hair a little tug again.]
You did not. It's our team; I should not be the only one deciding who will be on it.
[D and Buzen both wanted Rang so he will live this life... He's also just touching the side of Buzen's face very gently after that help.]
[hmmm. it's not that he doesn't believe matsui - he does - but at the same time it doesn't shake the lingering feeling... it'll probably come up every time that matsui glares at rang.
still, he relaxes a little with the assurance. he pulls matsui closer to him if at all possible, giving him an affectionate little squeeze. at the same time, he lets himself lean into matsui's touch, turning into it like a dog seeking pets.]
Well... I'll still keep trying. So every time Rang-san makes you mad, I'll try to find a way to lift your spirits back up.
[probably by being gross and affectionate which will gross rang out by ricochet????]
[STOP listen he'll keep his glaring to a dull roar it'll be fine...
He seems happy enough with this currently, at least. CUDDLE HOURS WITH BUZEN... They're healing his bitter little heart and soul. Not even having Rang on their team could ruin his happiness in this moment. Gently, he pats Buzen's cheek before raising his hand to ruffle his hair.]
I won't have anything to be angry about, then. Is that your plan?
[PLEASE HIT RANG WITH THE RICOCHET IT'LL BE HILARIOUS.]
[he accepts the little hair ruffles without issue, laughing under the attention. after a moment, he returns to gently nuzzling his nose against matsui’s cheek. disgusting. they’re really occupying this whole room in the selfie building with pda.]
That’s my sneaky plan. What do you think? Is it gonna work?
[Buzen has a knack for both being the most boyfriend-shaped creature in the world and also being the fastest person to put his foot in his mouth. Matsui's quiet for a second but he will eventually wiggle his way out of this embrace a little.]
[?????? the way matsui will feel some resistance because buzen doesn't want to let go - before he realizes that matsui actually wants out and then he lets go for real
[DON'T POUT ABOUT IT... He's fucking weak so he immediately reaches for Buzen's hand again.]
Mostly. Good surprises are rare.
[And he dislikes being caught off his guard in general... Also Tsurumaru connotations but it's fine it's fine, he's trying to build things back up again after An Undefined Amount Of Time Of Avoiding Tsuru.]
but he laughs then, pleased. he’ll lead matsui over to the closest chair - it’s a selfie building so i googled red loveseat and some of the first results were these extremely Extra velvet daybeds so that’s what it is, i guess.
[What he WANTS is to sit on this dramatic velvet daybed apparently, curling up comfortably and settling his head in Buzen's lap. There are so few things to be glad about in this continued cursed existence, but this is definitely one of them... He immediately seems notably more comfortable.]
There are other things to concern ourselves with, in any case...
[there they are then, just occupying this red room as if it's theirs. buzen will let matsui rest against him, and run his fingers through his hair lightly.]
[What if he just took a nap here instead of doing anything productive WHAT THEN!! Tragically, he can't sleep even if he's comfortable, because the weight of the topic at hand is pretty gnarly.]
no subject
Matsui peers at him... Buzen knows him so well uwoo except now he's sad about coffins too because of LAMBDA!! Why can't he be fucking normal.]
You would be more comfortable in the sleeping bag, yes? We could get something else... A chandelier, maybe.
[One of the full on Gothic ones...]
no subject
[he'd be down with it... he's truly willing to do so much to spoil his matsu. so funny.]
A chandelier could be good. That seems like it'd match Dee-san's style too.
[goths]
no subject
Do you think so? We can look, then, if you wouldn't mind... Most coffins are a fine size for a sleeping bag.
[Matsui really said no motorcycle but yes coffin and chandelier. At least he recognizes this...]
But if we're going to spend money on decorations for D and myself, you should get your motorcycle as well.

no subject
There's a little knit at his brow as he looks Buzen's stupid handsome face over.]
Are you certain...? We can wait on the paint as well, if it saves us more for your motorcycle.
[WAIT ON THE PAINT BUT NOT THE COFFIN.]
Is there anything else you might want in the meantime...?
no subject
[and if matsui's looking over at him, then buzen is just going to affectionately nuzzle his face against matsui's. dumb, stupid, boyfriendy.]
I made you unhappy with inviting Rang-san to the team - so I gotta make it up to you. Let me help with your red and coffin as a start.
no subject
You don't have to make anything up to me. I... [...No he really very obviously doesn't like Rang, he fucking knows it.] ...If you want him to be a part of the team, then that is fine. I will make an effort to... speak with him on less harsh terms.
[RANG IS JUST TSURUMARU.]
no subject

You even it out more than enough, anyway.

no subject
It will. [How can he be mad when Buzen is there (he finds plenty of reasons to be mad when Buzen is there) HOW CAN HE BE--] But it isn't very sneaky.
no subject
Should I try to surprise you more then, Matsu? I guess that's what Tsuru-san would want...
[not like this,]
no subject
I dislike surprises.
[Sir.]
no subject
[?????? the way matsui will feel some resistance because buzen doesn't want to let go - before he realizes that matsui actually wants out and then he lets go for real
but he's like
pouting about it]
Really?
no subject
Mostly. Good surprises are rare.
[And he dislikes being caught off his guard in general... Also Tsurumaru connotations but it's fine it's fine, he's trying to build things back up again after An Undefined Amount Of Time Of Avoiding Tsuru.]
no subject
[still pouty, but also interlacing his fingers with matsu immediately]
no subject
[DON'T SURPRISE HIM!!!! ESPECIALLY NOT IN A MURDERGAME. He will accept this though, giving Buzen's hand a light squeeze reflexively.]
no subject
[stop,
but he will move to walk,]
Do you wanna go to another room? Or we can keep hanging out here. I can sit down, if you wanna borrow my lap.
[the way he either wants to keep moving or to touch more. idiot.]
no subject
It isn't. [But he can't even say it with any true chiding because he's too charmed by Buzen being so... Buzen.]
--I wouldn't mind borrowing it.
[HIS PILLOW.]
no subject
[is he listening,
but he laughs then, pleased. he’ll lead matsui over to the closest chair - it’s a selfie building so i googled red loveseat and some of the first results were these extremely Extra velvet daybeds so that’s what it is, i guess.
Buzen goes to sit and then pats his lap - ]
Here, Matsu.
no subject
I don't want a surprise.
[What he WANTS is to sit on this dramatic velvet daybed apparently, curling up comfortably and settling his head in Buzen's lap. There are so few things to be glad about in this continued cursed existence, but this is definitely one of them... He immediately seems notably more comfortable.]
There are other things to concern ourselves with, in any case...
no subject
Yeah? Like what, Matsu?
no subject
What we will do once erasures begin, for one.
