[ they could comment that his defending himself by saying he's really good at shoji because he plays with some old guy at the mall only makes him sound more like an old man, but they'll give him a break. It's a little harder to run with this teasing when they're only a few months younger than him. (Despite appearances.) Plus, once again, it's part of his cute side. Maybe he hasn't explained everything he gets up to around Sotenbori to them in detail, or in person, but they've heard some stories, and if even half of them are true, he's doing a lot more than just playing shogi with strangers - he's a regular guardian angel around these parts. ]
Hmmm... I feel like you said something really incriminating just now. [ spoken in a "i'm going to use that line to bully you later" sort of way. Mizuki leans back on their free hand, looking faintly entertained. ] Fair enough, though. There must be a lot to keep track of - you're already tired from your long day, and then you get accosted as soon as you walk in the door, and now you're so tired you don't even notice me trying to hit on you. Poor Goro-kun.
[ he gives them a long-suffering sigh as he leans over to rest his head on their shoulder. one day... one day he'll make it through a day with his dignity perfectly intact. he wants so desperately to believe so, even if he knows in his heart of hearts that it'll never come. is it so bad, though, when it ensures that mizuki will stay by his side?
nah, it isn't.
but he feels enough time has passed—they've both had enough opportunity to enjoy their cake—for them to be okay with him tilting his head up and nibble at their earlobe before breathing out, ]
[ Is he wrong? They can't rightly say he's wrong... Him dating them is basically giving them carte blanche to tease him, as far as they're concerned. His reactions are funny and occasionally cute - and when they're not, it's because he's firing back, which they're more than okay with. They breathe out a little laugh when they feel his teeth, gently pressing their hand against his chest. ]
I like your optimism. [ amused. ] Is it too cliche to say something like "your other present is me?"
[ that nibble turns into a kiss along mizuki's jaw, and he leans into their touch extremely unsubtlely. ]
Nah. Was actually kinda hopin' you'd say it, though. [ meanwhile, his own hands wander to the buttons of their shirt, a glint in his eye. ] Does that mean I can unwrap ya?
You're tired from running around all day, aren't you? Goro-kun.
[ he leans into their touch, which only makes the push of their hand firmer and more insistent; they twist where they're sitting, moving away from his kiss only to face him a little more properly, meeting his eye with a cool, unwavering gaze and a smirk. ]
[ he raises an eyebrow as he otherwise mirrors their impish expression, but their insistence successfully gets him to lean back on his hands. he wants to see where they plan on going with this... ]
Haw? I know I was just yakkin' on about how I don't really care for 'em, but last I checked, that ain't how birthdays work.
Hmmm... This metaphor is falling apart really fast.
[ this is why they didn't start with this. Majima, you're ruining their cool lines. There's a pause as Mizuki deliberates on whether this is good enough or not, elegant fingers resting daintily against his chest. ]
Maybe I should be more direct. It is your birthday, so I'll treat you a little nicer. [ they drum their nails against his shirt. ] Lay back for me.

I think you should relax. I'd rather unwrap you.
raises hands in prayer and jubilation
