[With a hop, Tenma is back on his feet, and he holds out a hand to help his best friend up as well. At the same time, Tenma's loyal, but lazy, dog Sasuke comes lumbering up to the door from where he was lounging on the sidewalk to wait with a long howl of, "Are you ready yet?"]
And I guess Sasuke's getting impatient with me, too.
[That hand claps against Tenma's, his grip strong and firm as he uses his heels to gain some leverage to hoist himself up. He knew Tenma would be able to support him--their trust was unspoken but unbreakable--and it's not long before he's back on his feet and dusting off his cape that fell over his shoulders.]
Sasuke--
[The howl catches his attention, yellow eyes darting past Tenma to see the dog lounging on the sidewalk and catching rays while he waited for his owner to be finished 'greeting' his best friend.
A smile forms as the dog makes his way to the door, crouching down slightly to hold his hand out.]
[Arooooo. Sasuke may be lazy, but he's not one to be rude and not greet someone properly. He gets to his feet and shoves his muzzle into Tsurugi's hand, sniffing only briefly to make sure it's the scent he recognizes before he licks at Tsurugi's fingers, tail wagging slowly but happily. Despite the howling, there's not a drop of impatience there.
Tenma takes that moment to dust off his own clothes, too, patting down his pockets to make sure he still has his wallet and phone before joining Tsurugi at his side.]
[Once accepted, Tsurugi's hand trail along the curvature of Sasuke's jaw like, scritching right where at the start of the ear. It was funny, how laidback Sasuke was in comparison to his owner, although he assumes that's just because of his age. It warms his heart to see him accepted just as much as Tenma had accepted him, and those yellow eyes soften with warmth at the response.
He's quickly snapped back to attention at Tenma's question, though, looking over at him. Despite his demeanor, or how mature he seemed to be most of the time, there's no denying the childlike wonder on his face as he holds out his hand for the leash, pausing just for a moment.]
[Sasuke is no excitable pup who'll wag his tail into a blur and bark up a storm so quickly, but he shows enthusiasm and feels it. His lazy head rises up as he gets to his feet and walks right up to Tsurugi, sitting down by him in a clear sign of approval with his tail swishing leisurely. And Tenma, with a wide grin, places the leash firmly in Tsurugi's hand.]
[Tsurugi's fingers clasp around that leash the moment he can feel it in his palm, his lips slowly spreading into a smile the moment it seems to be solidified that Sasuke truly wanted him to carry that leash. He'd known the dog only a short while compared to his owner, but he could see just exactly why Tenma had a dog, and one as well trained and loving as Sasuke.
The same reason that Tenma was made captain, probably.]
Thank you, Sasuke.
[His one free hand reaches out to brush just underneath that floppy ear, using his knuckles to really scritch into the base where the cartilage met bone.]
[Sasuke accepts Tsurugi's affection with a tilt of his head and wag of his tail, but Tenma, feigning offense at Tsurugi's comment, protests with a nudge of his body against him, pressing playfully against his shoulder before laughing.]
I'll slow down this time. I wanna make sure you get to enjoy the walk!
[It's not often that Tsurugi teases. The boy always seemed to act too mature for his age, only saying what's necessary, or a soft commentary among his louder peers. Deep down, he truly wanted to be the calm, cool and collective type, and he was far too respectful of his upperclassmen to ever consider.
Tenma was different, though. Tenma had worked his way down into Tsurugi's heart, despite his best attempts to push him away. And now that he'd settled there, he became an irreplaceable part of him, and that put Tenma in a league all his own.
...And that meant he could poke fun at the boy just a little.]
You've got that right! Today's your lucky day -- Matsukaze Tenma going easy on you!
[Thanks to the influence of one Matatagi Hayato, Tenma has gotten, in Hamano and Kurama's words a couple months ago, 'more spunk' and 'sass.' Or maybe it's the stress from being captain to Inazuma Japan finally showing through, as the cheery and good-natured smile he kept plastered on his face while dealing with moody and uncooperative tweens just, on occasion, slips and a sarcastic comment or two slithers out.
The victim is usually Kariya, who's been lamenting to an unsympathetic Kirino that the pure and gullible Tenma-kun has been shooting back retorts to his comments with twice the amount of bite ever since he came back from space.
But that teasing is playful now, directed toward Tenma's best friend and greatest rival, the boy who'd supported him through all of that long and tiring adventure, and an arm is thrown around Tsurugi's back (because he can't reach his shoulders) as they keep walking.]
[It's a definite change from the Tenma he knew--one that was more willing to accept the things said to him with a smile and a peacekeeping face. That didn't change--Tenma still had the boundless optimism and energy that had drawn Tsurugi to him in the first place. But there was something else that was added. Some kind of fire lit inside him that couldn't have been done without someone to push him. He should thank Matatagi for bringing that side out in him--but then again, maybe he should just keep his thanks silent.
Matatagi didn't need to be any more cocky.
The arm is accepted, no flinch or jump, which were this anywhere else...might have existed. Tenma's just someone so comfortable in his life that he's gotten used to his jump tackles, hugs, and displays of affection.
And it's rewarded with a warm smile, amber eyes glistening forward as they walk, Sasuke trotting along obediently.]
You have to wonder what lies in store for the rest of your day if it starts out this lucky.
[Tsurugi's comment is met with an understanding, knowing, low ruff of, "Tell me about it." But while dog and boy are joined in commiseration, Tenma tilts his head back to fix Tsurugi with the most dramatically offended of expressions.]
Hey, excuse you! I'm not going to be that bad.
It's Matatagi, after all, that'll be dealing with me next.
[Tsurugi's smile doesn't confirm or deny Tenma's defense, letting silence speak for itself (it's also cooler) as he continues to walk, letting his cape fall down over his arms and loosely leading Sasuke along. The dog was old, seasoned, and knew the sidewalks well enough by now. The leash seemed more like a formality than a requirement.]
So you're really going to do it?
[He doesn't doubt Tenma, really, but he has to confirm.]
He'll try and get out of it if you don't have proof.

[But with a sigh, he nods.]
Alright. Only so Matatagi can't pull the wool over your eyes.
