[ yamato was starting to snicker alongside riku when taichi bullies and I'm sorry to riku stuck in the middle he's going to move his arm to shove taichi back ]
[OW, what the FCK. He makes a face, but before he can do any retaliation of his own, Yamato is already going for it. He gets a tad jostled around, but it's fine.
For now. Unless a tussle match is about to break out on his bed.]
Why do you and Sora always think you can just punch or shake things into working for you?
[NOOOO LEAVE HIM ALONE. he's just shoving at both of them even if riku's not doing anything. clearly someone else started these shenanigans and he did nothing wrong.]
Uh, because sometimes it totally works? Why not? I can still be right!
[why the hell are they like this WHY IS HE BEING DRAGGED INTO THIS NOW
He's too use to tussling with Sora not to habitually have the reaction of reaching up to grab at Taichi's shoving arms.] Hey! My bed! [He tries to wedge his upper-half between the two of them to get them to stop wrestling on the bed.
Which only means he's now literally in the middle of this.]
[he's busy trying to free his arms from riku's grip while also trying to push at yamato's face. they're going to end up twisting up in each other and also one of them is definitely going to fall and eat shit, but it's fine. they don't have to worry about that now.]
Your bed is fine and no, but would it kill you to admit I'm right?!
[ Riku is in the middle now and like. mostly crushing yamato as well, which makes retaliation so hard? there is definitely an attempted bite at taichi's hand on his face ]
About smacking someone else's computer?! Yes!
[ kind of wheezed out. Riku why are you so heavy. he grabs at his other boyfriend to try to tug him off in the non sexy way :( ]
[Don't just say his bed is fine and go back to arguing! Also, he is heavy because Yamato decided to have two jock boyfriends.]
There's no point in arguing about that right now!
[YAMATO!!!
One is shoving, one is biting and tugging!!! He's Malcolm in the Middle trying to break the two of them up by holding just one of Taichi's arms and using the other free one to try to round Yamato up.]
It's not just about the computer, it's about my ideas in general! [what the fuck are they even arguing about? yamato's getting squished and riku's in the middle and taichi's using his other arm to try and free the first arm.]
Look the point is...if that's the worst thing you think there is to say then it's not even that bad.
[ WHERE ARE YOU ROUNDING HIM OUT TO HE'S ALREADY DEAD he's too squished to try and keep fighting honestly and even though he absolutely wants to. riku calling him out makes him sulk and stay still ]
Whatever.[ grumbled as he resists saying that is not the worst thing, because he is ignoring taichi now and tucking his face into riku's shoulder ] Riku, you're squishing me.
[HE IS TRYING TO KEEP YAMATO FROM SHOVING STOP THIS
It's only when Yamato sort of gives up and complains about his stupid jock muscles squishing that he cautiously loosen his hold on Taichi.]
You don't have bad ideas.
[Why does he say this like he's known Taichi longer than six weeks?
Since he didn't let go, he takes a page out of Yamato's book and pulls Taichi down to kiss him before letting go. And then he shifts off Yamato, BUT turns over so he can smooch Yamato into shutting up too.]
It's why you're both different, isn't it? If punching it works, it works. If it doesn't, you're there with another idea.
[he's also got half a mind to sulk and ignore yamato, but riku kisses him and it makes him stop and reconsider that. both of you suck for learning this trick to use against him. poor riku, getting stuck in the middle of one of their useless arguments of which there's bound to be many in the future.]
...yeah, maybe. [he's still sort of sulking, but...it's a fair enough point. maybe.]
[ yamato is nice and resists starting another fight by going "no, some of his ideas are bad." it has nothing to do with riku using his own tactic against him ]
Stupid. [ he has no right to say that when he was just as ready to fight over this, but instead he's snuggling up to riku and accepting his fate and maybe reaching over to hold taichi's hand. stupid. ]
[stupid. but he does turn to grab yamato's hand while half-draping on riku despite the fact he's still sort of sulking.]
Well...Kairi still likes both of you, so it can't be that bad. [it means riku tolerates them and he appreciates it but no, he's going to say it like that instead.] I don't know if we fight over everything though.
[granted, this may start another fight but oh well.]
[ the comparison makes yamato think of their sora getting in between their arguments all the time. yamato refuses to bring up his ex girlfriend in that context though and instead snuggles up to Riku. you squished him now you are a body pillow. them's the breaks. ]
We don't fight over everything. [ proof: he is agreeing with Taichi right now?? ] And I signed up for two boyfriends, not a boyfriend and our mediator.
[Why DOES Kairi still like both of them? Help her. She puts up with so much of their dumb shit.
There's not much he can do about being used as a pillow. Taichi may as well join them, so he just tugs Taichi down. It's better since a second fight doesn't start (yet).]
You have two boyfriends. One of them just also happens to mediate sometimes. [He nudges Yamato lightly with an arm.] You'd mediate me and Taichi if we ever argued.
[He's TRYING to give Yamato the benefit of the doubt of not letting them just go at it.]
[please help her, she deserves so much better. anyway riku's the most jock-shaped which means he can put up with being the pillow. taichi's going to settle down on him as well and do his best not to make a stupid comment, like how yamato might just join in instead. but it's fine.]
Yeah, well, mediating sounds exhausting so maybe it's best that you guys are pretty much exactly the same. Less room for arguments.
Mm. I wouldn't mediate. I'd pick a side. ...Probably Riku's. [ he's smirking to show he is kidding and squeezes taichi's hand, and then, a little quieter ] But that's not what I meant. You shouldn't have to feel stuck in the middle.
[ this is as close to an apology as yamato is getting because he still thinks he was right. ]
[STOP, THERE IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER FIGHT HERE!!! Riku makes a little face at both of them, and then he nudges Yamato with an arm again. Continuing to insist they are tucked in close to him even though they bicker.
If he noses at Taichi and Yamato both, will they not mess up his bed in the not-sexy way?]
Don't worry. I don't feel stuck in the middle. I know if Taichi and I had a problem, you'd try to help if we needed it. And I know if you and I had a problem, Taichi would try to help, too. In your own ways. You've both already helped me that way with other things.
[riku nudges yamato and taichi's still flopped over him and waiting like an idiot. but he noses back and settles down again as he hums in thought.]
And we'd help you with anything you needed our help with, including the stuff you don't ask us about. [no.] But fair enough. Being together is what matters the most here, isn't it?
[ he also noses back and pretends he isn't a little doki over the sentiment ]
You guys are being so sappy right now. [ sound less fond if you want to be believable, yamato ] We would be helping each other even if we weren't together. Being together is just... a bonus.
[HUSH, don't look at them. He's going to smother both of them.]
We're not. [They are.] I know, but... [Nevermind. He feels the same way even if he felt like he needed to somehow say it was different when you like LIKE-LIKE someone. "Just say love." No.] I know.
He's being cute, mostly. [at the risk of starting another argument, he'll just outright say it as he settles down again.] But that's true, too. I like the added bonus though.
