[HE IS SUCH A PUNK
but jae-ha finds him endearing??? terrible
and honestly that's why he doesn't mind as he reaches out to trace along the curve of souji's jaw with one hand, leaning in to give him that kiss
because
he's a slut
what's a kiss to a slut]

[i hate that souji went too close to the slut fire and jae-ha almost got burned with tb
BUT ANYWAY
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING HERE.
Mild surprise, for one, because part of him didn't actually expect Jae-ha to follow through for some reason and the rest just expected a cheek or forehead or temple kiss?? And then a little light of realization and something that looks like actual panic for a hot second - just barely there, but it's some real fear.
He's also pretty quick to turn his head to the side, so Jae-ha might get the side of his mouth or face depending on how quick he is to react.
WOW TWO SHOTS TO THE EGO IN ONE 5 MINUTE PERIOD.]

[anyway Jae-ha doesn't seem to mind that. when Souji moves, Jae-ha shifts to accommodate him easily, keeping him close. but then he glances up to the sky and he hums]
I will. Promise.
[and with that he'll bend at the knee before jumping up into the sky, holding tightly onto Souji - but otherwise they might as well be flying]

I am.
[Soldier, captain of a ragtag rudeass police militia, same diff. Souji seems to agree with that statement in either case, laughing amiably.]
I think you're right about that, too. He's very familiar in that way, you know?

[STOP HE MADE A MISTAKE!!
Anyway he seems to recover pretty quickly at least, even if he also just... reaches out and gently wipes at Jae-ha's lips.]
Sorry-- I don't think that I'm entirely over my cold yet. I wouldn't want you to catch it. [Pointing to his own cheek instead!!] Here is fine, though!

[There's a little, delighted noise of surprise, but honestly otherwise Souji is 100% too chill with just being launched into space in the arms of a dragon leggy man. Drop him, he deserves it!!!!
He cranes his head back to look at the stars as they rise, which UNSURPRISINGLY AREN'T ANY LARGER BECAUSE SCIENCE DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT, but he still seems pleased.]
It's like swimming in the sky--!

[A BREAK IN STUPID FOR SADNESS -
Jae-ha hadn't quite realized the connection between Souji and Hijikata besides the fact that they were partners, however the display of emotion when the body was discovered certainly wasn't from a selfish place. In that moment, Jae-ha was rather certain that Souji wasn't worried about his own fate.
So he retrieves a tray from the kitchen as well as some tea, and goes to find Souji.
He doesn't really need to say much of anything. Jae-ha will simply have a seat and pour tea for the both of them.]

[I MEAN
IS HE DOWN FOR POURING TEA NEAR A BODY BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE SOUJI'S GOING TO BE!!! There's no glass case keeping him at bay! He's just here with his deadass friend!!
Though he is taking a few wandering breaks every now and then at least, to do things like hunt down Evan so he can thank him properly, or just because his legs feel restless - the whole of him feels restless, knowing Hijikata's killer is still out there and there's nothing he'd been able to do to stop them, hadn't even known to see them coming.
Maybe he'll find Souji in a less morbid place, though his expression doesn't change wherever it is he's found. He's listless in the deep and unsettling way grief brings, like someone hollowed out. He barely looks over when Jae-ha pours them tea, and doesn't reach for a cup.]

[ . . . . hm.
Jae-ha lets Souji do that, but he's also going to gently reach out to hold onto his wrist to keep his hand in place. And then press a kiss to his fingertips.
And then lean back over to press a kiss to his cheek as directed.]
... and if you ever need or want more, you only need to ask.

[why is this suddenly sad
In any case, Souji just laughs like a punk, waving his hand.]
Oh, not at all! Kondou-san is a very sweet and fun man. He spoils me a lot! [DON'T SOUND SO PROUD OF IT.] I think Sousei-san is more like my vice-commander, but even then, he's much more composed.
[To be fair, being more composed than Hijikata isn't hard.]

[i cant believe how turbo shoujo this is. FINGERTIP KISSES, WHAT THE FUCK!!!
Souji's also a little surprised by the gesture, but ends up laughing in a soft and gentle sort of way. Two kisses for the price of one and no TB in sight! That's a pretty good deal.]
You're going to spoil me like this, you know.

[you know what
yeah we're going to have tea next to a dead body because jae-ha wouldn't see a reason to refrain?? not when in general it seems like souji needs the company, god
so he's going to place one cup closer to souji once it's poured
and when he speaks, it's soft]
.... you still have to take care of yourself, you know.

Ah, I don't know about that...
[A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT HIM DEAD, JAE-HA!!!]
Kondou-san has been looking out for me since I was very young, though.
[ie he's contractually obligated to spoil Souji.]

I know.
[That doesn't mean he will, though!! He still doesn't pick up the tea cup, even if part of him feels selfish to deny a gesture of kindness like this.
Well, he's not really a good person anyway. Being selfish is probably just part of the package.]
I'll visit the kitchen later.

[At the very least, Jae-ha doesn't seem offended. He'll sit, and wait.]
... is there anything you'd particularly like to eat? I can help make it. I've been learning.
[He was already a good cook but now he has access to recipe books and Sanji.
But.
He's admittedly just looking to fill the silence.]

[It's a good thing Jae-ha's holding onto him since he's just shifting around to get a good look at all this SKY!!! Like he's never seen the damn sky before, god.]
It does! I love it! I'd do this all the time if I could.
[He totally gets why Jae-ha was just fckin disappearing all throughout that first week he got his jumping back.]

See? Isn't that exactly the sort of thing someone would say to a person they're already spoiling?

I was taken into his house when I was nine, but I knew him before then, too.
[FAMILY FRIENDS and then weird tragedies and surprise "here take this child" moments, it's a wild ride.]
