成人期__A smile that spread slowly, thoroughly, encompassing the entirety of soft features with an amusement that dripped with both fondness and a secret third, chaotic thing. There was nothing quite like his cherished companion's razor-sharp sincerity, barbs that he assumed were meant to keep others at bay, always managing to get stuck to anything and everything instead.

"Oh? That's odd, you didn't seem to be doing anything at all, so I thought it'd be fine to ask." Everyone had some hidden knowledge that rarely surfaced, he truly enjoyed bringing those to light, but it seemed as though the intricacies of loose leaf tea weren't catalogued among the calico's street-smarts. He hadn't thought so, but it was a great way to get his grade captain to come over and smell random things, which was. Incredibly funny. What a good boy, really. Despite how it looked, he actually wanted to help him out? There was a limit to how adorable someone could be, but this boy did push thresholds constantly.

"That's because they're exactly the same. Good job, Sakura-kun~! What an impressive skill!"

As he spoke, one of the tins would be placed aside, a fingertip raising to delicately tap his friend on the end of the nose, all while he leaned in a bit too close, with a bit too much enthusiasm.

@sozoryokuborn ASKED: 成人期__A wave of the hand, far more reminiscent of beckoning a cat over than anything; He'd hold up two tins, temptingly, each filled with dried tea leaves, in hopes that curiosity might spark companionship.   "Ne, Sakura-kun, which smells better?     They're both Baihao Yinzhen - - ah, silver needle,                     but I want a second opinion."

        ❝ Haa? I don't drink grass, yanno. ❞ Sakura squinted at the tins like they’d personally offended him, one brow twitching at the way Suo waved him over — annoyed at himself for how quickly he responded. ❝ Tch. You think I’ve got time to waste sniffin' leaves for ya? ❞ he grumbled, stepping up beside him, hands shoved deep into his pants pockets.

        How the hell was he supposed to know which one smelled better? He didn’t mess with this fancy crap. It all looked like dried-up weeds to him.

        Baihao Yin. . . zhen?

        Silver needle?

        The hell’s that s’posed to mean? Does it make it smell better?

        Sakura glanced at Suo’s face before dropping his gaze to the tins. He would never say so aloud, but the act of being asked — for his opinion to matter to Suo — chipped away at his irritation quickly.

        Dammit.

        He ignored the thought, and leaned his head down, nose hovering right above the tea leaves. He took a quick sniff. Then another. His brow scrunched in confusion. Urgh. It was just as he'd figured — he couldn't smell jack shit. Didn’t matter what name it had — leaves were leaves. Just some plant someone ripped outta the dirt.

        There's no difference.

        Sakura clicked his tongue with a snap. He wasn't sulking. He wasn't annoyed. It’s not like it bothered him — not being able to tell Suo which one was better.

        ❝ Are you messing with me? They smell exactly the same! ❞

@viiridianfields ASKED; ❛  what happened?  ❜ via - 🫖 - Still accepting!

成人期__Emotional quotient, empathy, an enlightened path to adulthood that he walked as gracefully as he was able... in the face of unquenchable rage, he was still so far behind even someone who had only recently learned that others would face him with kindness. Now, that wasn't particularly fair to either of them; Sakura seemed to always have ideas about people, he was sweet and forgiving and prone to giving too much of himself, despite the harrowing self-reproach.... and he, himself... He had a terrible personality, right? It wasn't something as golden-hearted as self-effacement. He was just quite prone to possessiveness, to judgement, and weaknesses in the human mind and spirit were easy to target, especially when he was livid.

"Mm? I'm sure you understood at the time, Sakura-kun, otherwise you wouldn't have stopped me, ne? Or do you want to hear my side of it?"

It would be far, far easier to step into the ocean and turn to sea foam than discuss his immaturity in front of someone he admired. His smile was the embodiment of serenity, a distant and walled demeanor that, to the more intuitive, would have the aura of someone running the absolute fuck away from the question.

成人期__Ah, that unshakeable genuinity. It always made it worthwhile to give, or relate, to sincerely try and facilitate growth within a friendship, even though he wasn't quite as reciprocal with himself as he ought to be. His fluffy friend was like a puppy, in a way; You give him an edge, and he'll take full advantage of it every time - adorable liberties that he was always overjoyed to allow, because the trust that Nirei had in him was utterly cherished. His expression blossomed into amused fondness as the bun was received, a nod of confirmation granted in a reassuring way at the inquiry.

"I have to make sure to maintain my diet. The consequences if I don't... mm.. well, they aren't something I would want anyone to have to deal with."

He spoke casually, but laced with the most ominous undertone he could manage - his friend wasn't exactly as..... easily persuaded as their calico companion, but that was no reason not to try. Persistence was important! And funny when it worked.

蘇枋__An insistent beckoning gesture was made towards his dear friend - - "Nirei-kun, do you have a moment?" The tone was soft, and compliance would be rewarded with a red bean bun shoved unceremoniously his way. "I helped out a shop, they insisted I take it. I thought of you first, of course~."

It doesn't take him long to stop what he was doing and walk over to the other first year. A smile on his face. He liked how the other used that soft tone in his voice on him. It was just always so sweet sounding. "I do!" Nirei said. The other was always kind to him and making sure he was fine. But whenever he was offered the food, he was grateful for it. Although he was curious if Suo did eat.

"Are you sure?" Nirei asked as he looked down at the red bean bun. Those were always delicious. So, he wasn't going to let it go to waste if the other didn't want it. He still takes the bun from the other, since it was already being shoved his way.

蘇枋__She was the kind of individual one couldn't help but admire, a capacity for that ageless sense of the human quotient that could tame even the most feral and awkward amongst them; It was no less than what her 'older sibling' did for them, after all - making bridges, connections, giving them a place to come back to, a safe space to express all the little things that made them unique. She looked after them, so it wouldn't be fair not to reciprocate where it was due, and with a knack for noting weakness in those around him, it was easy to see the weariness. His expression reflected her gentility with his own, a fond gesture indicating a bench just a little ahead - he'd sit first, to assure her that there was nowhere else he'd rather be at the moment.

"Companionable silence can be relaxing, but I prefer the noise, myself. Are we running you ragged, Kotoha-san?"

A questioning tilt of the head, smile almost guilty;

"Hmm.. was there anywhere in particular you usually spend days off? I could 'escort' you, or something a bit more forceful, if you're stubborn about enjoying your break~."

His tone was playful, but the offer and inquiries were absolutely genuine.

蘇枋__It was a particular delight to witness a gun loaded, lowered, and the bullets discarded in the span of a few moments; Moreso when he himself was the reason they couldn't wield that defense. Trust was important, and to be trusted was a gift, especially by someone he dearly looked up to. The heat that blossomed akin to his friend's namesake was palpable enough to warm his palms, bringing the edges of his smile to the point of no return. - - Trust was a gift, but this was infinitely funnier. After all, it didn't seem fair to indulge so effortlessly in not getting his skull cracked open when he never really reciprocated that genuine honesty. A curious cant of the head, brows almost furrowing as though he might actually be hurt, here.

"Hm? That's a little mean, isn't it? I just said round! Because of this...?"

An indication towards the patch, his tone becoming even more somber than before.

"I could take it off, and release the spirit onto the populace. Would you like my face, better, then? I don't want you to think it's weird, after all..."
