[It is muffled, but given Tatsuma's hugging him right back, it's easy enough to hear.]
...You noticed me.
[He's a quiet guy; all his life he hasn't really stood out, and he was okay with that. Countless people ignored his presence altogether, and countless people would continue to do so.
But... In spite of that, Souji found something more in him. It's a thought that still gives him a sense of warmth, and he nestles close for the duration of the embrace.]
[The kiss gets a soft sound, half between a laugh and a breath as he somewhat clumsily returns it. He's not really one to laugh in general, but when he means to, that's usually the most that comes out. Too many years keeping quiet.]
[ at half-laugh, souji can't help but laugh as well. he still gets that bubbly feeling in his chest whenever he sees tatsuma like this and it reminds him that he's still just head over heels over him. ]
Please. Though I don't know if I'll be as cute as you in it.
[...Probably he should draw back at some point, but instead he keeps one arm over Souji's shoulder, because it's there already as is. One hand's all that he needs to manipulate his phone anyway, stashed away in one of the convenient pockets sewn into the kigu. A couple of taps through a history of painting videos and they are on a site dedicated entirely to kigurumi.]
[ gasp!!! souji just looks at tatsuma with shock before he somehow manoeuvres around to put tatsuma's phone in the hand that has the arm wrapped around tatsuma while grabbing his own phone to put on the app ]
It's a game where you collect cats in your yard. You can put out food for them along with different types of toys. Depending on what kind of food or toys you put out, you can attract different cats. See?
[ it's cute and there are a ton of cats in his yard. he loves it ]
Yeah! This one is called Peaches but in the Japanese version, their name is Cream-san. I've named one of my cats after them since they share the same heart on their fur. Remember her?
[ remember that one cat that souji spoils and is clearly his favourite? yeah, he Loves Her ]

[ souji pulls his head back from tatsuma's shoulder to give him a quick kiss ]
Think I should get a matching one?
no subject
Definitely.
Should I show you where?
no subject
Please. Though I don't know if I'll be as cute as you in it.

no subject
Hmm, which one should I get?
[ he'll stop scrolling once he comes across this beauty ]
What about this one?
no subject
Nyan cat...?
no subject
Do you know it?

no subject
[ he doesn't say anything during all this either btw. he's just bobbing his head to the song when it comes on ]
no subject
...That's cute.
[...Cute design, too. He might be wondering vaguely if he could replicate it on a mug because Reasons.]
no subject
Isn't it? How about The Kitty Cat Dance? Do you know that one?
no subject
No, what's that one?
no subject
[ switching the video to the 10 year old beauty. i'm glad that these videos are all in my recent history ]
I'm really going to have to educate you on cat memes, don't I?
no subject
How many are there?
[He asks, vastly underestimating the scope of his own question. Teach him all about the Internet, Souji.]
no subject
Thousands, if not millions. You'll have a lot to learn, young padawan.
[ the last sentence being said in a deep, old-man voice ]
no subject
[So, so much to learn. But before they move on to the next one:]
Which one's your favorite?
no subject
That's pretty hard. Nyan cat is pretty high up there but Pusheen is cute as well.
[ ... wait WAIT HOLD THIS SHIT UP ]
... have you played Neko Atsume before?
no subject
[Well, the name at least gives it away.]
No. It's a game?

...Oh!]
Does that one have a heart...?
[Cute.]
no subject
[ remember that one cat that souji spoils and is clearly his favourite? yeah, he Loves Her ]
no subject
She's the one that cuddles with you the most?
[Is the impression he's gotten from seeing Souji and the cats, at least.]
no subject
She's very loving. The next time you're over, you should cuddle with her too. She's extremely soft.
no subject
[He keeps a rabbit, not cats. Do they play favorites?]
