muse development. accepting. @tasaina. 

7.     how does your muse feel about sex   ?

     to tatsumi, sex is a quintessential part of any relationship she’s in. it’s a way she expresses her love   &   she absolutely thrives off of the intimacy   &   connection she feels with her partner. of course         she’s very patient so she would never pressure her partner into anything they weren’t ready for. tatsumi loves reinforced consent   &   eagerness as well   ;   finding it endearing as it only just gives her more confidence in their relationship.

9.     how many friends does your muse want   ? 

     ❛❛  i wish our team had a CUTE MANAGER...  ❜❜     tatsumi laments, surveying aoba johsai’s manager with an appreciative gaze         both envious but friendly all the same. but come to think of it, their boys’ team didn’t have a manager either so perhaps they both share the same   (   over-dramatized   )   heartache.     ❛❛  tell me...   what’s it like being the manager of a bunch of ROWDY teenage boys   ?  ❜❜

     ❛❛  the ONLY time i really get any attention is when i accidentally scare people when i play...     why can’t it be when i’m being nice off the court   ?  ❜❜     a pout persists past normally serene features, bottom lip protruding as tatsumi fiddles with her latte’s straw. talking to herself has become a rather unbecoming habit   (   or so says her mother   ), UNAWARE of curious stares or questioning glances. she takes a sip of the warm drink, delighting in its warmth as she shelters from the bitter cold outside.     ❛❛  i guess it is sort of attention...     the negative kind.  ❜❜

     ❛❛  i know ALL ABOUT having a little brother as energetic as yours.  ❜❜     &   it’s true         tatsumi own brother like a tightly wound spring, full of unbridled energy. hands find perch on her hips as she watches the boys practice   ;   the girls’ own ending just moments before, still clad in practice attire as hair sticks to a dewy forehead slick with drying sweat.     ❛❛  that ENERGY comes in handy, i’m sure. seeing as he just keeps going   &   going.  ❜❜

     ❛❛  good morning, kuroo-san   !  ❜❜     a small wave to accompany her cheery greeting   ;   rather chipper despite her usual somber demeanor in the mornings.     ❛❛  how was practice yesterday   ?   i heard from haiba-kun that it was pretty GRUELING but then again...   it always is to him.  ❜❜

     ❛❛  i’m surprised that you were so VOCAL today at practice   !   i’m proud   ;   it’s good to hear your voice.  ❜❜     a subtle compliment, laden with delicacy given her teammate’s usual quiet demeanor.     ❛❛  i always enjoy hearing your input. thank you for your CRITICISMS         i feel like we’ll improve because of your bluntness.  ❜❜

     ❛❛  it’s a JOY to watch you play.  ❜❜  tatsumi commends, approaching confidently with bright smiles   &   genuine adulation. with water bottle in hand, she offers it to him         hoping to ease any tension from the previous match well fought.     ❛❛  congratulations on your win.  ❜❜
