I feel like you're going to give me a hard time regardless of my answer.
[ HE'S ONTO YOU, DUDE. He knows your tricks! He knows what happens when Tidus starts to use that playful tone - it spells out disaster for Inigo, that's exactly what it does.
(Not that Inigo isn't pouting a little as he says it, which means he's giving the other a reaction all the same.)
And let's be real. It only takes about three seconds before Inigo just breaks, unable to not give in and sing the praises of Adorable Tiny Taiki. ]
But he's just cute when he's a kid! I mean, you've seen him, right? He's so adorable! He's all friendly, and cute, and he let me play with his hair! [ He looks just a few moments away from touching his face and getting all sparkly-eyed at the memory. ]
[ Oh, you bet, Tidus is so a winner regardless. The pout is cute, but it's Inigo going into Taiki-loving mode that seals his status as winner. Look at him.
You couldn't peel this smile off Tidus's face. Inigo knows how to be adorable too, huh...
Tidus scoots up a knee, just so he can lean an elbow on it, prop up his chin for the full effect as he asks: ]
So you don't want to be playing with him right now, while you still have the chance? If everyone turns back to normal tomorrow...
[ A dramatic pause. But also. ]
You could get a picture of you and Taiki together. If you slip Saku into it too...!
Ah, I'm not sure. After all, if he'll remember everything once he goes back to normal.. [ Then it may be embarrassing, right? Having been treated as a cute kid, or there even being picture evidence of it..
Inigo stares down at his hands for a moment. In the end, it always comes down to this, doesn't it? Both of them trying to consider their friend's wellbeing above everything else.
His gaze raises a moment later though, and after a moment of what seems like contemplation, there's a moment where Inigo quickly leans over, pressing a very short kiss to Tidus's cheek before pulling back again. ]
Thanks for offering though. You always have the best ideas, you know?
[ The kiss has a delayed effect. Where Tidus has to think about what was just done, the reason it was probably done, and then a mixture of giddiness and embarrassment that just makes him feel goofy and dumb to experience.
Ugh. Ugh! He can't just sit here, but at the same time-- ]
Well--! [ --he leans in, a quick kiss on the side of Inigo's mouth, barely pulling away, but his legs falling back down, coming to the side of the bed. ] Maybe I'll go and get a cute picture myself, then!
[ Tidus slips off onto his feet and stands straight, hand held up, and the device appearing in the usual puff of gold.
You changed your tune quick. [ Look at this! Not that Tidus is about to push Inigo back onto the bed bow chika wow wow with an eye of suspicion. Clearly, someone just can't hold back the thought of seeing their friend all cute.
But if Inigo's going, then they need to plan accordingly. Tidus points up at the top bunk. ]
Bring that toy you've got with you. [ The wyvern plush. He means the wyvern plush. ] And Jumblie too! And we need to grab the art stuff if he doesn't have any already. We need to make this day extra fun for him, 'kay?
Even if something's embarrassing, it's the memories that count.
[ Despite his excitement, Inigo seems obedient enough, since he starts grabbing all the things the moment the other points it out to him. Thankfully that mostly means grabbing his wyvern plush, considering Jumblie is still very much inside of him. The size of the plush just by itself is rather arm-filling already, anyway. ]
Got it. [ He shifts the wyvern a little so he can carry it and actually see Tidus's face at the same time. ] I'm not sure if lord Gyousou brought him some art supplies yet. I just saw him sitting around in the garden. [ But it's been a while since then, between the spa thing and then the makeouts thing here.. Who's to say what Taiki may have gotten in the meantime. ]
We could also bring him over to the games carriage, if he'd like to play some of those.
[ .. yes, maybe someone definitely can't hold back at the thought of seeing their friend all cute, no matter how worried they are about future embarrassment. ]
Let's see what he thinks! I know he likes animals and painting, so that's a start. Board games or art - if we give him a choice like that, he'll have to pick.
[ Unlike if they just asked him if he wanted to do a thing. Would a younger Taiki be like an older Taiki? Where he'll try and leave everything up to the other person, to better suit their needs than their own.
But if they give him two options... ]
You'll have to introduce us, [ he goes on regardless, opening up the door. ] Since he knows you and not me.
[ Inigo's right there - though not quite moving ahead out of the doorway, considering how cramped these sleeper cabins are. Especially when you're dragging around an oversized plush toy. He'll just follow Tidus out. ]
Of course. He seemed a little shy at first, but maybe he'll be less so when he knows I know you. [ Especially since Taiki seemed to trust him so much - maybe a little too much for someone he only just met, but still. ] I think he can still sense that lord Gyousou feeling from me, even though he's younger now. It sure came in handy to seem a bit less like a total stranger.

But he didn't miss that part about Taiki, a slip of a smile as he asks teasingly: ]
You like a cute kid Taiki face better than a normal Taiki face?
[ Huhh? ]

How about it? I'll let you borrow my memoris.

And the idea of seeing adorable tiny Taiki again sure isn't helping to tame that giddiness in the slightest. ]
Hey, you can't go see him without me! [ So he gets up on his feet as well, a grin on his face that he absolutely can't contain. ] Let's go together!
