fantasiasm:
Anyone who assumed Leo Tsukinaga sat down in front of a television long enough to make it to the advertisements that showcased the weather was as big of an idiot as he was, but like, whatever. He doesn’t bother gracing it with a response, because to do so would sort of be insulting himself.
And he chooses to simply ignore Tsukasa’s lies in favor of believing his own interpretations, which is obviously the truth, and grows seemingly more hotheaded over the allegations of falseness in fairies. How dare a non-believer say it out loud like that! At this rate, he was asking for Tinkerbell to die!
“Shhh!” Leo groans and elbows him, huddling up more in his hoodie when even just that movement allows the cool air to breathe against his neck. Curse his weakness to the cold. “My trip isn’t the lost cause, you are! Fairies are definitely real - just because you haven’t seen one doesn’t give you the right to deny their existence!”
It’s not Tsukasa’s job to remember what Leo can’t force himself to pay attention to (because if it was, he’d have to remember way too many unnecessary things), either, but like, whatever. He lets it go.
Upon watching Leo get more comfortable in his jacket, Tsukasa is reminded of how he, on the contrary, is not comfortable at all. In fact, he’s plain out cold, but he isn’t going to complain about it because he’s a responsible young man who can deal with his own mistakes appropriately. Still, he pulls his knees close to himself and sets his feet on the bench, wrapping his arms around his legs in an attempt to get warmer.
“I’m a lost cause!” he repeats, huffing at the mere implication.
Okay, wow!
“I’d say the lost cause is the one who still believes in fairies? I didn’t even believe in those when I was five.” Maybe getting condescending isn’t the answer, but he can be childish sometimes too. “Leader can have fun chasing after dreams... or I would say, but I will get in trouble if I let you stay out in the rain and get sick.”
