Tasuku: "You! That was your doing, wasn't it!?" Rakua: "I have no idea what you're talking about ... But I can feel how shaky my little birdie is." Tasuku: "And whose fault do you think it is!?" Rakua: "Of all those who don't choose you, isn't it?" Tasuku: "..." Rakua: "You're a great student, you have the best grades in your Year. It's the result of all the dedication that burns in your veins ... And yet, you are forced to serve humans who are inferior to you. I can only imagine how humiliating it feels." Tasuku [looking away]: "... Stop that." Rakua: "If I were them, I would choose you." Rakua [gets closer]: "This is your wish, right? Deep within ..." Tasuku: "But no one ever prefers me. I can put as much effort as possible, and yet ..." Tasuku [thinking]: "What's the matter? Why am I being so honest?" Rakua: "I prefer choosing over being chosen. You, on the other hand, prefer being chosen. I'm sure we'd be a great match!~" Tasuku [thinks about Sutoreito preferring Samon over him]: "Did I ... Did I want to be chosen?" Rakua [holds his hand and drags him down on the ground with him, getting on top of him] Tasuku: "What- What are you doing!?" Rakua [placing his ear against Tasuku's chest]: "Shh ... Be quiet. I'm listening to your heartbeat. It is beating like crazy, it's so happy to have been chosen. You're adorable, my little birdie.~" Tasuku [looking away]: "It's your fault, you must've done someth-" Rakua: "It's Rakua. Call me Rakua, not 'you'. Tasuku is the one I've chosen." Tasuku: °'//D//'°
Omg I can't, the way he talks, how he can always twist the conversation to his own advantage and push people to do whatever he wants, damn it//// I wonder if Rakua actually has the power to make people speak honestly to him (whether they want to or not), or if it's just a matter of him being extremely good at mind games, because Tasuku pointing that out, how weird it was that he felt like speaking honestly, is lowkey sus. Anyways, Rakua blushed a tiny bit while they were on the ground!! I don't think it has happened with any of the other boys. Also the way Rakua calls the people not appreciating Tasuku "humans"???? He's a fucking alien//// Still thinking about the shoebill, tbh.
