[Rinne tries to ignore it like he always does, but Takasugi pauses for a second too long, and Rinne is not immune to the sudden shift in his demeanor. He'd been so sure of himself that time with the strawberries, that time with the gun, that time on Rinne's bed, asking Rinne to chase his demons away. That wasn't too long ago. But when Takasugi followed him around like a lovesick puppy, Rinne scratched back like a cat, so he doesn't get to complain when Takasugi pulls back. After all, he started it. It just makes him feel like a spoiled brat, still wanting all this attention...

Well. Not that Takasugi has ever given him shit for that.

Shame quickly turns into shamelessness. Rinne knows he'll only regret this again, but when he remembers how clear Takasugi is about what he wants, he can't help himself.]

Naturally! [he says in a voice a notch too loud.] Doesn't matter who the fuck they are or what they're doing. People see a star in the sky, and they're gonna want to grab it. We'll just be saving 'em the trouble.

[As Takasugi's idol, Rinne's role isn't lost on him. What was it he said again? He sees him as someone lively, no, brimming with life...

Hiiro would always blindly give him the harsh reality. Niki's kind, yet painfully honest. Didn't Takasugi tell him to treat him gently? At times like these, Rinne should say something Takasugi wants to hear. Something stupidly unexpected, something innocent and carefree—

With an elbow, Rinne gives Takasugi a friendly jab at his side.]

You're thinking too hard again. You should just forget about that stuff and become a full-time idol like me!

[Not with him. That's a totally different thing.]
