... [ Don't give in, don't give in, don't give in― oh fuck she's mewling just from having her head stroked. It's his one true weakness. ] If you... want to mess around some, I think I'll still be fine time wise.
[ As soon as he heard that cute noise, he's fucked and couldn't resist anymore. He can't believe how easily he drops his pride when it comes to her. ]
God dammit Mio!!! Stop calling me that! I'm not an old man.
[ To show his frustration, he uses his free hand to tug her cheek like the evil bunny she is. Once he's able to cool down his annoyance, he looks at her in awe at the mention of her reading the novel. ]
I'm impressed you read the whole novel, it's a ridiculously long book. Anyhow, I know that this is going to sound utterly inane but I've been remembering events that's taken place during that time period and just recently, I remembered that I was actually one of those historical figures. I don't know if you recall him from the novel since he's not the most well known person. [ Which kind of causes him to scowl a little bit. How cool would it be if he was actually Cao Cao... ] I was Zhong Hui.
[She seems rather surprised and it shows in her expression that he's caving in way too easily. Not that she actually minds, of course. Although she does pout when he pinches her cheek, rubbing the side of it before he talks a little more on the subject.]
Also you're totally an old man if your past self was from that time period. [says the person who comes from the 80s but doesn't remember that yet] Also, I believe you. But Zhong Hui, huh?
[She things she remembers that name, just a little but in order to check she gets out her phone and searches it up and her response is:]
Ohhh... Oh. Well, at least you're famous enough that you have a Wikipedia page.
[This thread is the worst.] But I think that explains a lot, now that I'm quickly looking at this.
[Mio's a pretty fast reader, if she doesn't say so herself.]
Anyway, you know I won't judge you for who you were.
Yes. I'm positive, I want this more than anything.
[ Honestly, he's even surprised with himself at how easily he gives in. But honestly, after everything they've gone through, he feels as though they deserve to have a little bit of fun together while they can. ]
Just because my past self was from an old time period, it doesn't make me old, horrible Usamio!!
[ You could say that these jokes are getting old eyyyyyyy. ]
Wow, that makes me feel so much better. [ He frowns, feeling a little salty over the whole ordeal. ] Well, whatever. Zhong Hui was known for being intelligent. Which is suitable for me.
[ ... Minus the dumb rebellion that he fails later on BUT WE WON'T TALK ABOUT THAT JUST YET. ]
Thanks Mio, I'm glad to hear that. Of course, you already know that I'm not going to judge you either.
More than anything? You're greedy today. But I don't mind that side of you, Leon. ♥
[Her tone is playful, and she finds herself laughing at his salt and sarcasm.]
It totally makes you old. Well, older than me, anyway, so it totally makes you an old man. And if you're going to call me horrible, I guess I don't have to give you what you want later...
[Mio Sonozaki truly is the worst.]
It definitely suits you. But also... this page says that he had a courtesy name. Do they still have that now? Do you have one, Leon?
[She's gotta ask because now she's a little curious. They say curiosity killed the cat. But she's still idly clicking around on her phone, though even as she asks her questions.]
Well, it's hard not to be when I have such a beautiful girlfriend.
[ It's no secret that he's always been a greedy person, but his greed has increased ten fold since he's started dating Mio. ]
So it's okay for you to call me old but I can't call you horrible? Don't forget who is paying for this room, selfish Usamio. If you're going to do that, I can always kick you out.
[ Not that Leon is any better. ]
Not so much anymore. The tradition has died down since 1919 and thus, I don't have a courtesy name like he does. Do you like his courtesy name?
Honestly! You didn't have to pay for it. I'm not poor, you know. You always insist on paying, so who am I to stop you? But do you really want to kick me out?
[Of course Mio's just messing with him, but she can't help it. She can act however she wants around him and not pretend to be anyone else. It's really comforting.]
I see... [She threads her fingers together, a little flustered as she can't look at him directly in the eye.] I do. It's nice.
[It's also two letters off of the name that she ended up having in the end. Two letters off of Shion.]
I just think that the idea of it is kind of cute. And a little romantic...
[Mio hesitates a little, tugging her lips into what seems to be a rather awkward smile, her cheeks lighting up as she finally looks at him.]
Then be my guest, go ahead and pay for it next time we stay here. I won't argue.
[ He frowns at her while letting out a huff. Naturally, he's messing with her as well, it wouldn't be the same if they didn't have one of their silly banters every so often. ]
You... [ He pauses, his face suddenly turning red when he realizes what she means by those words. ] A-Ah I see.
[ It's funny how fate tends to work out, who would have thought their past life names would be so similiar? Thinking about it makes him happy as he slowly shakes his head. ]
Not at all, I don't think it's weird. Shion and Shiji... [ He repeats that to himself, letting it roll off of his tongue. ] I like it. It's really nice that both of our previous names sound so similar.
Oh, good, because I've actually been wanting to do that for a while.
[Did.... she just con him into doing what she wanted? Maybe.]
It's really cute. But 'fate', huh... [Hearing those words makes her sound a little sad, almost contemplative. She puts her hands together, near her lips. While she likes it, there's just something about saying that it's fate that just bothers her.] I don't think it's something like that. Because if that's true, it's like saying other things in my life could have been fate, too.
And I don't want that to be true.
[Because fate likes to give her a rather shitty hand, and Mio's concerned that if she remembered two deaths already, maybe she'll remember another one.]
[ At those words, he can't help but feel like he got tricked into doing her bidding. Once again, he finds himself being swayed by her craftiness.
But before he could say anything in regards to that, he hears the sad tone in her voice and he immediately regrets his choice of words. It hurts him that his attempt at trying to say something cheesy actually hurt her feelings and he's beginning to feel like a terrible person. For the longest time, he's silent as he folds his hands together, looking a little downcast. ]
[ The feeling of her hand does cause him to smile a little. But he can't quite get rid of this terrible sensation in the pit of his stomach. Even if it wasn't his intention, he still felt bad about the whole ordeal. ]
You make me feel guilty and now you're demanding that I have to make it up to you? You're being so difficult today.
[ Of course he's not being serious but he couldn't pass up an opportunity to poke fun at her. ]
There's nothing wrong with being a little selfish, I want to stay with you for a while longer as well.
[ With his free hand, he slides it over and cups her cheek, stroking her soft face with his thumb. ]
Xiaolang is over at Kinomoto's guardian's place, so you don't have to worry about taking me away from him. We'll have plenty of time to do whatever it is you want to do tonight.
[ He makes sure to put an extra emphasis on the you part. ]
[He's definitely making fun of her and she knows it. She pouts a little bit, but it soon fades when he says those words, leaning into his touch. When he says that his cousin isn't home, she can't help but be relieved.
But then he says that.
And even emphasizes on the you.]
Eh? You really mean that...? [That's. Unexpected. And she actually does seem surprised.]
[ Seeing her facial expression makes him wonder if it was really that surprising? (Spoilers Leon: It is.) Well, he didn't mind. It's been a while since they got a chance to be together like this, so he wants to make her extra happy tonight.
With a gentle smile, he nods his head and has to hold himself back from making a noise when she leans into his touch. Her soft skin felt so good against his hand... ]
I mean it. Tonight, we can do whatever you want. Pleasing you is what I desire as well.
[It definitely is quite a bit of a surprise here. If he wants to make her happy, then she can't help but accept his words with a smile of her own, caring and warm. Her cheeks even color slightly.]
That... makes me really happy, Leon. I really appreciate it.
I'll do anything if it makes you happy and if I get to see a smile on your face.
[ ... Okay that 'anything' does have it's limits like doing something totally humilitaing to his pride BUT HIS POINT STILL STANDS. Leon will go miles on order to ensure that Mio's happiness is priority because she is his number on girl in his life.
And to seal that promise, he leans in and presses his lips against hers for a kiss. ]
