What the hell, I can't believe what an asshole you are!
[But in the way that's making him crack up right now. He yanks harder on Togami as he laughs, groping over to muss him up a little. As if Togami Byakuya knows how to roughhouse.]
I dunno, you're the one who's all the way over there!
[He lets him go, though, still laughing.]
You've got the worst friggin' sense of humor, man. I can't even tell when you're joking, and it probably ain't as often as it should be when you're sayin' stuff like that.
[Heeeyyy. Heeeeyyyy Togami. Leon scoots closer on the couch, less obnoxiously this time, though nothing can ever truly suppress his obnoxious core.]
Shut down, huh . . . here I was just thinkin', we live in the same place now and all and we haven't taken advantage of it yet . . . ! Buuuut I guess if you don't support it!
[ He glances over at Leon without moving his head, somewhat wary. ] Stop being coy for a moment and answer me honestly. Was "taking advantage" your ulterior motive in asking me to live with you? Because I'm not here for free and accessible consumption.
[Togami gets his wish: Leon's face falls immediately, into something confused and wounded, and he leans away again. Just hearing that put that way makes his stomach feel unpleasantly tight and twisted right where it was starting to feel warm a few moments before.]
—What the hell . . . no. C'mon, man, 'course not . . . it ain't like that. I just—I wasn't tryin' to force on you, I thought you might like it too. We don't gotta ever . . .
Yeah. Don't worry about that . . . that ain't what I meant by it, okay? I was just playin' around. It's not like it'd be any fun if you didn't want it too. That's like the whole point of messing around!
[Are they okay? He's still a little stung and uncertain, but tentatively hopeful, looking back at him without moving closer again yet.]
[ He considers his options here. He ruined the more playful mood they had going, but mostly because his mind is still on more serious things, and he wasn't too deep into that mood in the first place. But he said himself that the serious things will need to be delayed for a while... So is there any problem with letting himself be redirected? His gaze travels from Leon's face to the space between their bodies.
—After a moment, he just leans back against the back of the couch, sighing and crossing his arms. If he's going to relax, that's a good start. ]
[Okay. They're relaxing. Good start. Leon hesitates, and then, fuck it: he flops against his side again, but platonically this time. It's time to shake off that mood.]
It depends on what video game you had in mind. Most of them are a waste of time, but perhaps there is one that can manage to rouse my interest enough to give it a try.
. . . I'm just gonna let you pick, so you can't complain about it all night.
[He rolls his eyes, but he's smiling. Dammit, this is how Togami gets to do whatever the fuck he wants, huh? Have such high standards no one but himself can meet them and complain about it when they're not met?]
[ Well he's looking to see if Leon has anything like that Pagan Dancer video game, which was a game he could say he actually enjoyed!! Playing god and crushing mortals underfoot! ]

Why's anyone talk to you, huh?!

Why does anyone sit next to you?

What "should be" is relative.

...I see. Well, it's not entirely off the table either. I simply wanted to make sure we were clear on that point.

You wanna do somethin' else? Play a game with me!

[He misses the trains. Sigh. This is nice, though. Going out would be fun . . . but this right here feels pretty good.]
Buuuut there's food out there! I guess we could make food come in here too, though.
