Aww, thanks! I-- [he visibly starts when gojou hands out the bottle of green tea boba. HELLO! the way his brows lift, clearly his eyes are lighting up behind the shades.] Wow! I... For me? I... don't know what to say!
[he hugs the bottle to himself.]
I think you're just trying to woo me, Satoru... Almost like you're bringing me illicit gifts of ambrosia to get a power! [he's onto you, mister gojou. but he is smiling cheerfully.] But we're from two completely different worlds... It wouldn't ever work out! You and I just can't be together. I'm really sorry!
[ Gojou is just smiling as the wingies on his head splays out cause what the hecc is Sloth saying? He laughs because Sloth is so funny! So interesting! And he always enjoyed the vibe they had since it's... So weirdly similar in being alien as fuck. ]
Hey, it's for meeting me at all? Would be rude of me not to bring something, right? Like... Going to a friend's house and not bringing them a fruit basket. Long-distance is a thing, though. I can at least remember you! Some people think that's romantic.
[ wait
that isn't the point. He waves his hand. ]
The actual deal here is that I will do you a favor for a power, though. The drink is just a gift for gifting's sake and being my Avatar.
[sloth seems kind of hehe about the wings. it's just neat to see them on someone else not himself? very funny.]
Still being really darn nice, huh? [like, he wasn't giving the bottle back at all which is very telling despite all this talk.] Lovers across time and distance...! Wow, just like Orpheus and Eurydice!
[he laughs gently.]
Thanks a lot! I do have a deal if you are really looking for Sleep Paralysis.
[gojou is so fucking stupid. can't believe this makes sloth laugh. bad jokes! very funny!
what's even funnier:]
I don't know what is going to happen. I'm not a Fate, you know! But if everything works out, and everyone gets to return home... or at least, you all get to return home, I want you to let Mahito go back without trying to stop, or destroy him, okay?
[he doesn't sound mad! or irritated! or pleading either. just like they are having a casual conversation.]
[ motherfucker taught this one binding vow i swear to god. Gojou squints cause this is ridiculous, but whatever. It's also kind of funny. He hooks pinkies, then one, two, three bounces! ]
I hope you get to see your best friend one more time.
[ Not that he's Keen about it, but Sloth seems happy. ]
Haha! That's me! [he shakes the pinky again, but mostly just sort of excitedly.] Yeah!
Than and I are like two skeletons in a crypt! Wow, you know all about us. Usually mortals don't see me at all! They only see Than when he goes up on business.
[imagine being written about. WOW. he's... almost shy! a little. and then he laughs!]
Oh... you heard! Than says it all the time. He use to practice it when we were little, and he thought I was asleep! [mean,,] Okay. As long as you keep your promise.
[DON'T JUST OMINOUSLY SAY THIS RIGHT BEFORE MAKING GOJOU SLEEPY
yeah! sloth shakes their pinkies again, and gojou's eyes grow heavy. he can't hold them open. they close, and he has a dream.
a shallow, gentle waves crashes over his bare feet. the air smells like salt and the sun. it's warm! gojou glances up at the ocean stretching out ahead of him. there's something immediately relaxing about being on a beach.
a young man his age puts his hands in the pockets of his black pants. he's wearing the most god-awful beachy, floral button-up, even though it's splayed wide open. his dark hair is pulled back in a bun. gojou realizes this beach must be in okinawa.
"Satoru," he says, "let's get going. You're taking this seriously, aren't you?" getou glances over at him, lips half-smiling. "You've been going non-stop... haven't you...? Not surprising."
getou turns away and starts to head back, and a vortex swoops in to suck gojou, slowly at first, right back out from the dream to being awake. sloth is still standing in front of him, but their pinkies aren't locked any more. sloth smiles.]
Welcome back!
[gojou will feel the weight of the power in him. Sleep Paralysis. he knows if he uses it on a target, the target will become rigid in place for one hour.]
[ no, just take him out for Mahito. When Gojou wakes up, he's feeling... Many things, a lot of it is very conflicting, a lot where he wishes he could listen to Getou's voice one more time, but nice. Sleep Paralysis. Yeah... Yeah. ]
[NOT THAT ONE. AAA, Sloth isn't laughing, but I am. Also this morning, I thought "bristles" said "besties," and I was like wow Hei just forcing Gojou to be confirm besties with Stitch Getou.]
Ohhh. Suguru was pretty nice to me, [this means nothing, everyone is usually nice to him because he's so stupid] but... he did always hang out with the other guy! Hisoka!
I'm pretty sure they killed some people. Sorry about your best friend! I understand.
[ I FUCKING HATE THIS everything in this station is like hey what if it is suguru-shaped. Mahito: so one of the Sugurus was there. Greed: he wasn't helpful. and then Sloth is like the only one to break it to him that he shouldn't care anymore.
God bless he is free from Suguru curse, now it's just Nanami curse.
also why the fuck are you telling me this lore for ]
Don't worry about it. The real Suguru is dead and if brain was here and also died then nice.
