[ Ah, did he made Brambles cry? That wasn't his intention, but he can't ignore that tear either. ]

Don't apologize. Umm, I'm not sure if this game has tissues...

[ It certainly has ISSUES. Close enough. ]

People are shitty about this kind of thing, so... I get it.

[dapples]

It's okay. [ God, how embarrassing ... ]

Yeah. They are. And I'm really glad that you aren't ... so, thank you.

[ For him, it's a rarity. ]

[regressive]

If someone ever bothers you over that, I'm going to beat them up.

[ It'll be punishment time. The unfun punishment. ]

[dapples]

[ Brambles just gazes up at him, wiping away his last tear. ]

Thank you. I try to keep it as low-key as I can, so ... hopefully it won't be necessary.

[regressive]

Necessary or not, you can count on me.

[ After a moment of silence, Joonghyuk gives Brambles a head pat in an attempt to offer him a comforting gesture. ]

You'd look nice in a suit.

[dapples]

[ His gaze lingers. ]

... Thanks.

[ He's still holding the bouquet. ]

[regressive]

If I make a bouquet as good as this one, will you take it?

[ Brambles might need some cheering up, so...!! ]

[dapples]

[ Why does this sound like a proposal of sorts? ]

Wha--? I ... yes, of course.

[regressive]

[ Because yaoi power dwells within him. ]

All right.

[ Joonghyuk has the other sunflower and some of the daisies. He's been watching Brambles arrange this bouquet carefully, so doing the exact same one shouldn't be too difficult. Well... that's in theory.

In practice, the flowers are tied up a bit too tight and it simply doesn't look as good as the one Brambles made. It's not far too off and it's an earnest attempt, but... ]

I'm not sure if I should give it to you.

[dapples]

Why’s that?

[ Let him see! ]

[regressive]

It's...

[ He doesn't like the composition, but at the same time he's not sure what he could fix here. Loosen the knot? That would probably mean starting over. Maybe it's not a bad idea, after all.

Nonetheless, he shows the bouquet to Brambles and gazes away. ]

[dapples]

[ Earnestly, genuinely, he looks up at him with a bright smile. Whether Joonghyuk expects this reaction or not, Brambles only has one thing to declare: ]

I love it!

[ He reaches forward to study it in his hands. Yes, it's not like a standard bouquet he would sell in his shop. But that's exactly why he loves it. It's original and filled with personality, just like the man who made it. ]

Oh, I want to keep it forever and ever!

[regressive]

It's yours, then.

[ He's not sure if Brambles is doing it to make him feel better or not, but there's no reason not to give it to him. Joonghyuk chokes down the urge to say that these are just a bunch of pixels because...

Brambles seems to be genuinely happy, even if this is just a virtual world. Without realizing it, Joonghyuk rests his hand on top of his head and gently ruffles it. ]

[dapples]

Thank y-- Ohh...!

[ That ... hair ruffle was very unexpected! But is he complaining? Absolutely not. Although he does blush for a moment before bursting into a bright, joyous giggle. ]

Hehehe! That tickles!

[regressive]

Does it?

[ This time, he's just giving Brambles an old-fashioned head pat. ]

I guess I found your weak spot, then.

[ He's unapologetically pleased. ]

[dapples]

Haha! I have weaker spots.

[ Uh oh. Now he's just seeing himself up for a future failure. ]

[regressive]

Oh?

[ Joonghyuk raises his eyebrow... interesting. ]

Is this an invitation for me to find out what they are?

[dapples]

[ squeaked: ] No!

[regressive]

Oh, I think the translate function has a bug because I clearly heard yes.

[ Bugs are convenient sometimes... ]

Let's see...

[ Joonghyuk's fingertips slide along Brambles neck as if it was nothing, but he's watching him very carefully. ]

[dapples]

GYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[ THAT IS!! A VERY SENSITIVE SPOT!!!!!!! Brambles convulses and squeals, his entire body jerking from the contact! ]

Not my neck! Anything but my neck--!!

[regressive]

[ He will remember this. ]

Anything? Do you really, really, really mean it?

[dapples]

[ OH, CRAP ... ]

No! Anything's just as bad too, probably!

[regressive]

So... I'm not allowed to touch you at all?

[ He's pouting!!! ]

[dapples]

[ UGH ... ] Well, yes, you can ... but if you tickle me, I am not responsible for your injuries!

[regressive]

My injuries?

[ Somehow, he can't imagine Brambles wanting to hurt him. ]

If you want to PvP with me, I'm always ready.

[ For now, he goes for Brambles sides to tickle them both at the same time!! ]
