[ Good to know Niki will be the first in 3kon to experience AI-induced psychosis.
Rinne just feels crazy. Please don't bury your face in Rinne's chest in front of Takasugi, Niki. They're sensitive. Niki probably had a part in making them that way. I'll stop here before the tag gets worse. ]
Ngh, stop kissing everybody...
[ And don't tell Rinne those three words while he's off guard? He's really happy, though. ]
As far as being yourself's concerned, I think you got the least problems with that, Niki. At least I know Shinsaku-chan ain't stoppin' ya.
'Sides, aincha thinking about it too hard? Thinkin' was never your strong suit, so you should relax and take it easy. Bambi would never throw ya off the deep end, yeah? Prez and I would, though♥
... Ah, I guess this guy would, too. [ He pokes the other side of the screen now. ]
[He knows Rinne's right in that Malkuth probably wouldn't ask them to do anything crazy, but... Niki just doesn't like the pressure! But having Shinsaku-chan around would definitely put him at ease, even if he's sure he wouldn't be gentle with him, either.
Oh, right. He should probably reply in the chat to let everyone know that he'll consider it after all. He has to think of how to thank Shinsaku-chan for backing him up, too... How do you thank someone you can't feed or kiss? Much to think about.
...maybe later, though. His face goes right back into Rinne's wide and supple chest. He's nuzzling it.]
You're the nicest person ever! Seriously the best! I love you, I love you!
[This goes on for a while. Good thing no one else is here to witness this!]
[An idle hand reaches out to ruffle Niki's messy hair, as if to pat his pet's little head and celebrate his small happiness. Now that Takasugi's truly gone, Rinne can focus on this and just this. Wasn't it always supposed to be just this? After everything that's happened to him, all he should want now is to become an idol and make Niki happy. For a man born into a family like his, desires like these still come naturally.
What was that pinch of his heart, then? The small Takasugi's face scrunched up like he was being forced to eat his vegetables, if not some other thing that couldn't have brought him any pleasure, and it pricked his heart where it was tender, as if it always knew here to strike him. He'll say whatever sounds nice to get his way, it's true. But what else could he do? As he and Niki melt in the warmth only they could share in the winter, he wonders if denying others this rare joy is also what a monarch would do.

I look forward to working with you, then!

I've been way too nice lately.
