after a moment he finally straightens and looks at Crow, there's a definite look of confusion in his eyes, but...]
Did you get cursed?
[is this a tattoo effect? did itsuki just lose the ability to detect heart beats?
is his hand still holding crow's? he moves his thumb over Crow's wrist to feel his pulse, his grip is loose and crow is x10 stronger than him, so he can shake him off anytime, but for now]
[ well, he doesn’t? but partially that’s because touch week and he doesn’t actually want to shake itsuki off. the contact is nice, even if this is more than he’d usually do casual contact wise. ]
Crow's so normal, and he looks confused. Just that is getting Itsuki to second guess his reaction. But no, his finger is on Crow's pulse, and he doesn't feel anything.]
...Your heartbeat. I can't feel it.
[his tone is one of curiosity, maybe crow is a tsukumogami? an android? someone who doesn't need a heartbeat or a pulse?]
… Nah. It’s probably something people would be freaked about if caught off guard with it.
[ it’s not like he’s telling the truth anyway, either. there are ways to wiggle around a topic, and knows many of them. even if he does feel a little guilty about doing so when itsuki seems so genuinely worried. ]
Just, y’know. It’s not something that can be fixed here, so it’s not something to worry about. Especially not when we have all this other stuff going on already. Yeah?
[ he gives itsuki’s shoulder a pat, his thumb briefly rubbing against his collarbone like he’s trying to be soothing? but maybe not really knowing how to be. dumb bird. ]
…
Uhh. I think I got one of each, so I guess I’m done. Wait, Marcie’s cocktail? What’d she do?

[ well. crow doesn’t seem surprised, exactly. ]
Don’t worry about it.
no subject
[especially if crow is not an android, and is indeed a best human boy. he's quiet for a moment,]
...Did it happen here?
no subject
Nope. It didn’t happen here. I’m still kicking though, see?
no subject
...]
Yeah, I guess I can. [see, that is. he can see crow standing before him, talking to him, laughing. and yet, he still feels a little uneasy.
he wonders if it's his place to keep pushing. there are things about himself he hasn't told crow, after all.]
Sorry. I kinda brought down the mood, huh?
no subject

...Yeah. [but he'll accept this out without feeling too upset about it, he thinks] I get it.
[he looks at Crow's soda,]
Did you get enough flavors? Is this gonna be like Marci-chan's cocktail?
no subject
…
Uhh. I think I got one of each, so I guess I’m done. Wait, Marcie’s cocktail? What’d she do?
no subject
Itsuki looks a little amused at the collarbone rub, excuse me they're in public?]
I was thinking of the dares. Didn't she mix something up for you?
[can he have a sip of crow's drink]
no subject
— Oh right, that “cocktail”. At least this one won’t be as likely to knock me for six on the alcohol side.
[ he takes a sip.
he keeps a totally straight face as he hands the glass over to itsuki. ]
no subject
Itsuki takes a sip.]
Wow.
no subject
Wow’s right, yeah.
[ … ]
Dare you to take three more sips.
no subject
[he's not gonna take more than three sips???? he'll pass Crow a beer instead,]
no subject
Where’s your sense of soda related adventure, Itsuki?
[ fiiiiiine. he’ll take a beer instead. ]
no subject
[he'll clink his can against crow's]
Food is one of the pleasures of life, after all. You can't enjoy it if you're drinking weird shit.
no subject
[ clink clink. ]
no subject
[this is incomprehensible to me bc i like soda better than beer but ig itsuki's just like this]
Life's too short to have to handle the things you don't like, don't you think?
[hahahhahaha]
no subject
[ soda is better but is every single soda better? probably not. ]
Imagine if it was that easy.
