[ Ah, Izumi ♪ Tsukasa hurries his steps a bit, tossing a box of sparklers at Izumi as soon as they're close enough that he's pretty sure he isn't going to like, fuck up on catching it. ]
Of course. What else are friends for? [ besides, he wanted to, so... ] Come on, come on ♪ Let's have a good time and forget our worries, fufu.
[ They... could also talk about that stuff if they wanted to but. Well, he'll let that happen on its own, if it does. There's a big jump between confessing things over text than face-to-face, so. ]
[Somehow, Izumi wasn't quite expecting a box of sparklers to be tossed his way, but he does manage to catch them without any trouble.]
I really owe you one. [Not that he's actually keeping track, but hey. Grin a little mild, he opens the box just enough to pull out one sparkler, twirling it between his fingers.] It's been so long since I did anything like this.
[He isn't going to tell Tsukasa that he and Mao talked about lighting sparklers on their birthdays, but not being on Retrospec won't change that, at least. Besides, he's genuinely excited to light these, childish as it may seem.]
[ Izumi doesn't owe him anything; honestly, spending time together is as much of a distraction for him as it is for ... him. He pulls out two sparkles, holding the metal ends in his mouth as he closes the box and steps forward a couple more steps, fiddling with a lighter... okay.
He's not gonna light them while they're in his mouth, that is Stupid? He takes them out and flicks the on, holding it out to Izumi first. ]
That's a shame. Though, I guess I only ever do this sort of thing around New Year's or Obon... [ ahh, obon. He looks a little sorrowful, then shakes his head a bit. ] Well, I guess Obon's nearly upon us anyway. We're not doing anything special with our shrine this year—there's other things to... There's other things we're considering.
[ ... ]
Anyway~. [ He lights his own after a moment, back to smiling at the colors. ] We should do this more often, is what I'm hearing. And saying. Maybe next time we can invite more of our friends, and have a little beach party~?
[Of course, he logically knows that neither of them owe each other for friendship, but the sentiment matters more than anything.
Tsukasa looks a little silly with the sparklers in his mouth, though, and Izumi nearly reaches out to flick one of them with his finger before they're removed before he gets the chance. Darn. De-walrused.]
...You know, if you need to talk about something, I'm all ears.
[Since it's clear that Tsukasa has been acting a little strange lately. He won't press more than that, though, and lights his sparkler... which in turn makes him brighten considerably.]
Whoa... It's been forever since I've done this. I didn't think it would still bring me so much joy. [He laughs just a little under his breath, nudging his sparkler a little closer to Tsukasa's so they flicker beside each other.] Yeah. I've never had a beach party before, but there's no better time to start, right?
[Now that he has friends. Many, many dear friends.]
[ He couldn't. It's family things, family worries, and— for all he complains about no one really talking about anything, he's. really. no better. He doesn't talk about his memories with his fellow idols, he doesn't talk about what's bothering him with pretty much anyone...
His smile wanes into something smaller, watching their sparklers. This is good enough, anyway. ]
There isn't. Ufufu, let's see... Chitan and Daipai are definitely coming... Should we invite people off of Retrospec too? [ Their main heartache right now, really, but. ] I think Mafutan would have a lot of fun with...

No, never mind, let's not.
