[ That question.. the talk of pictures. It bubbles up some kind of feeling within Sunny. At first, it's a pleasant feeling. He's very nostalgic and loves pictures. In fact, someone very important to him loves taking pictures, but the more he thinks about it, the more he feels his stomach twist into an uncomfortable feeling. He had seen in his Headspace some frightening images-- shadows of his past-- things he has blocked out. A glimpse of the things he has repressed.
Shoyo will see a physical response; his expression twisting to something fearful. It's slight, but with how Shoyo is looking at him, he probably notices something is amiss when it comes to "pictures." ]
I, um . . . [ and he’ll does he see it. he’s an emotionally perceptive little guy. he even falters in his own train of thought, wondering what it was that he’s done or said wrong. “pictures” changed everything, and shoyo can pinpoint the moment like he’d search for clues on the court. ] Just thought it’d be, like . . . Neat, to take some selfies together.
[ How to explain this... Sunny fidgets slightly, turning his head away from Shoyo and kind of just.. pressing it into the sofa while he idly holds the sugar packet.
He doesn't really know what to say, exactly. Pictures remind him of good things but also bad things. ]
... It's okay. I'm kind of shy.
[ Which isn't a lie, but the more he thinks about it.. Shoyo has been such a good friend already. It only makes sense they take pictures together. He peers up from having his face smushed in the couch. ]
[ ah . . . a shimmer in the dark! shoyo relaxes his shoulders into a little relieved slump, then lowering his chin to the couch in front of mochi, which might have been facing sunny’s stomach, too. he’s got his eyes between them and feels his smile coming back. ]
Well— if you’re sure! I’ll save up for a camera. [ speaking of liking things . . . shoyo now scoots an inch upwards, his chin still pressed against the edge of the couch. ] What else do you like?
[ He never understood why people took an interest to him. It’s not like he talked much or had anything interesting about him. But there were people like Kel and the rest they shoved themselves into his life and made an attempt to be his friend.
He’s just awkward when it comes to stuff like this, especially since he hasn’t been out of the house in awhile. ]
Um.. videogames.
[ Oh, wait. He knew that already! Stupid, stupid. ]
[ cardboard boxes are a game changer. shoyo bends his knees to his chest and hides half his face on the couch’s edge. it’s something he kind of . . . does with his little sister? and goes to show just how much of a child he still is. ]
[ bro you okay there..... Sunny feels a little embarrassed when Shoyo asks for clarification, realizing that it probably is a pretty childish thing to enjoy for a whole-grown-ass-16 year old, but! He's always liked that; little cubby holes of solitude that provide comfort for him. ]
Um..
[ Reluctantly, after shifting his gaze for a moment, he looks back at Shoyo and nods shyly. ]
[ Sunny feels his body tense up when Shoyo clasps him and he sucks in a breath, holding it. He's going to have to get used to people like this again, because although Shoyo acts A LOT like Kel, he hasn't seen Kel in so long.. so.. it's almost like he has to learn how to deal with someone like this again.
After a moment, though, Sunny can feel his lips wobble into a awkward looking smile. He's.. silently thankful that Shoyo isn't judging him for his childish interest.]
[ shoyo is the type to roll with the fun, and as a ball boy— almost certainly everything on the childish spectrum is still fun. good, so you know what that means?
hopping on the couch and gently dog piling both pooka and dog. yay! ]

shoyo clasps his hands on the resting boy’s shoulders, since his arms and hands probably harbor a little guy made of cake and sugar. ]
We should make a box fort and take pictures!
