Shuji Tsushima

"Hi, you've reached Shuji Tsushima, and you probably should've texted first if you wanted me to pick up, but leave a message anyway."

Not at all?

[He'd be lying if he said he wouldn't have liked to date Chuuya, but...]

That's alright. I know when to give up on a crush, I'm not going to stalk you or hope you change your mind.

I still think you're really cool, though.

[That won't change.]

[doublesmall]

Not at all. I know when to give up on shit too, you know?

[He doesn't sound upset about it or anything, though-- it's casual as anything.

That last comment, though, gets a wry little smile in return.]

Trust me, you only think that because you don't know me well enough.

[If he knew what Chuuya had been, what he's planning on doing again-- well. Chuuya's pretty sure that'd be the end of it. He's too nice to take something like that well.]

[thesettingsun]

Then, obviously, you're going to have to let me get to know you better if you want to scare me off.

[A completely reasonable idea that has nothing to do with wanting to get to know him better in general.]

[doublesmall]

I'm not trying to scare you off, Shuji. You're just better off not getting too involved, alright?

[It's a cute thought, but- that kind of thing is exactly why Chuuya can't tell him.]

[thesettingsun]

Don't get involved with your extremely dangerous bar-owning?

[...No, Chuuya's probably serious about this.]

You know that just makes me worry about you.

[doublesmall]

Don't worry about me. I'll be fine, I promise.

[He pushes himself up to sit properly again, reaching over to ruffle Shuji's hair a bit before he stands.]

Just trust me on this one, Shuji. You don't want anything more than what we've got right now.

[thesettingsun]

[When he's too worried to properly enjoy Chuuya messing with his hair, it's bad.

Chuuya knows better than he does, and Shuji wants to trust him, but... It's because he's someone that Shuji wants to trust that Shuji doesn't want to leave him alone when he might get involved in something dangerous.]

...Okay. But if you end up in the hospital I'm going to sneak in beer for you.

[This is a hundred percent serious. He will do it.]

[doublesmall]

Make it wine and you have a deal.

[he's just going to leave out the part where he's more likely to end up in jail than a hospital... you're welcome, Shuji.]

You can call me if you want a hookup or a job, maybe writing critique, but- don't hold out for much more than that.

[thesettingsun]

Wine it is. The best wine I can afford.

[If Chuuya ends up in jail Shuji will just freak out and possibly cry again. Nobody wants that. Don't end up in jail.]

Thanks. I really appreciate that much.

[And then, because he was surprised last time and also was kind of miffed about it being only a distraction thing - he leans in to kiss Chuuya again, very briefly.

There. That's better.]
