[ that makes him flush a deeper red than the kiss itself, and he flits through several expressions before landing on a glare that doesn't have all his heart in it. ]

Says who?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well I was going to say me, but that flush on your face says it all.

Get your dopamine hit?

[And another chuckle]

But I bet we can do better than that.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ it wasn't actually the dopamine that time, but he can pretend it was. ]

Hah! How many times do you think you can trip the same objective?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[A grin that's all teeth]

The rules say 10 times.

Unless you're saving a few for someone else.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Someone else...? As if I'd lose to two people in the same day. There's no chance.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So you are admitting defeat to me?

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ silence stretches for a few seconds.

but after some sort of internal debate, perhaps, he looks Intensity in the eyes again, more composed. ]

Yes.

Congratulations.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Oh.

Oh no.






He wasn't supposed to actually say it.

Now who's turn is it to be flustered]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Better cover it up with his usual bout of 90s cartoon villain laughter as he catches Izumu's chin in his hand.]

You were only delaying the inevitable.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ unfortunately for Intensity, he still catches that fleeting flustered expression—and he snorts a laugh, relaxing, even as Intensity grips his chin. ]

You're cute, Ten.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Hush, you.

And while S U L K I N G:]

Am not.

My brand of victory isn't cute. You already have the monopoly on that.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ smug: ]

I am pretty cute, huh? You lucky bastard.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You win your little contest?

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ it takes him a second to connect the dots, but he snorts a laugh when he does. ]

'Course I did. My opponent was Dia, after all.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So second cutest. Third if we're counting Red.

[Brushes his lips up Izumu's jaw]

Room for improvement.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he hums, tiling his head back a little to expose more of his jaw. ]

Hmmm. Think you can draw out my cute side?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'll bring you flowers next time.

[Perish with grace]

Is that what you wanted? To be properly courted?

[carnivorouscarnival]

I don't know about properly... but I'm always interested to see what your idea of "courting" of me is.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Being better than the competition in every conceivable way. I thought that was obvious.

[carnivorouscarnival]

And if there's no competition? Wouldn't be satisfied with winning by default, would you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There's no such thing as no competition. Even if it means the person I'm defeating is you.

Or maybe especially if that is the case.

[carnivorouscarnival]

... Mmm.

Do your best to defeat me, then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He pauses, thinking for a few seconds.

And then reattaches his arm before letting go of Izumu's wrists completely.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

Hah?

[ that wasn't what he expected, and he makes a blatantly confused noise at this development. but he still takes the opportunity to sit up again, drawing his arms back towards himself and rubbing at ghost wrists. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Pushes him back down when he tries to sit up. Looks like the arm is still working, so the shove still has some oomph.]
