Good day, everyone! [ Inigo smiles widely. ] I was wondering if anyone either has or knows of something rare and they wouldn't mind it.. erm, losing it.. probably permanently.
[ He's saying that statement as if he's only now realising how weird that sounds out loud.
But it's too late to go back on that now. ]
In exchange for a favour?
And preferably edible? But maybe not necessarily? Hey-- [ He turns away from the screen, seeming to have some mumbled discussion.
This is a totally normal ICP message. ]

[ He stops before he can finish that sentence. As if he started speaking it instinctively, but is only now actually using his brain midway through the sentence.
And realising he can't finish that sentence without lying, since that's exactly what he did when they had the whole hugging misunderstanding, huh. ]
.. okay, maybe I would. Since I'd feel bad. But I promise that if I really made you uncomfortable and you told me it like that, I'd realise I'm the bad guy instead.
no subject
You're fine. But you know, I think people are gonna start getting ideas if you're cuddling up to me all day. [ Really, Inigo! ] You ever thought about getting a...plush toy? Those really soft big ones?
no subject
Except that Tidus literally said he thought Inigo had a thing for Taiki because of it BUT LET'S IGNORE THAT, OKAY.]Besides, would you mind it if people got ideas? It's not like we don't know the truth. [ The bridge of his nose wrinkles as he half-pouts. ] Let them think whatever dumb ideas they want.
no subject
Let's think about other food we can give Jumblie. There's gotta be more than just elixirs she'll like.
[ Let's not talk about how maybe Tidus doesn't want to be cuddling with a guy all day, ok!! It's not you Inigo, it's him. And society. ]
1/2
But it's not like he wants to be too pushy either - and honestly, the fact that Tidus is completely dodging what him says definitely makes him feel kind of bad and more than just kind of embarrassed, so he just goes along with it the moment he feels that feeling churning away in his stomach. ]
.. okay.
no subject
Don't you have anything else that might be rare in your Arms Band? You've got so much stuff in there!
no subject
But -- it's true, too. That he dodged it on purpose, didn't want to say what he was actually feeling, since he wasn't sure how to without possibly making Inigo feel bad. And he's sure he's made it a little awkward for him anyway; or the thought of doing so sticks with Tidus, even as Inigo moves them on. Goes along with him moving the subject on, anyway. ]
I can take a look. I'll check my notebook.
[ He brings that out in all its gold glamour, opens it to one of the first few pages. .... but that earlier awkward pause still on his mind. ]
... I don't mind what people think. It's just... you know. [ A pause. ] There's nothing wrong with it.
[ Nothing wrong with you, is what he means. Inigo and his hugging, cuddling up close... but if he words it like that, that'd be even weirder! ]
no subject
It leaves him speechless for a moment, feeling his cheeks heating up but not quite getting to colouring. ]
No, I-- get it. [ Maybe. ] I know there's nothing wrong with it, and that you don't mind hugs either.
[ They sure went over that one, after all. ]
But that.. that doesn't mean the offer doesn't still stand, you know? If it's ever too much, or if you are ever worried about people getting the wrong idea, just let me know.
[ Because Inigo may not mind that much, like he said a moment ago, but if Tidus does, then he wants to know! He'd never want to get his hugs at the expense of Tidus's comfort. ]
I can always dial it back, even if it's just in one specific situation.
no subject
Sitting like this is fine too, right? ... But, I'm just all hugged out right now. That's really it- [ this feels dumb to say, but. ] It's just me.
If there was a hugging competition, you'd have me beat! I can't stay hugging as long as you!
no subject
[ It's more than a little putting himself down, as Inigo always does, but at the very least he does manage to make it sound light, like it's just a joke.
He quickly shakes his head though. ]
You know you're fine the way you are too, right?
no subject
Don't you too? Huh? If I'm alright, then you are.
[ Said, like that's the way it has to be. Want to fight it about him? You think Tidus isn't ready for a fight always!? ]
no subject
Why do you have to say it like that? [ It makes him laugh a little, at least. ] It sounds like you're about to put me into a chokehold over it until I agree! [ HE CAN SENSE THE READINESS. ]
no subject
You keep putting my pal Inigo down, maybe it's time I teach you a lesson!
[ You hear that, bad brain Inigo? Tidus is coming for ya! ]
no subject
[ He's still trying to make it sound mostly joking, but he's pretty aware that Tidus most likely won't even take that sort of thing jokingly.
So after leaning away from Tidus a bit, as if to try and dodge those arms, he just shakes his head. ]
It's fine though. We went over this! I.. I know I'm alright too. I'm telling myself that. [ It's just still hard to always be convinced of it too. ]
