[Sousuke pauses his food again when Goten leans towards him, that eagerness pushing right through his pondering brain.] Oh… [He leans back just slightly at the kid’s exuberance. Camping…] I don’t know, actually. [He obviously doesn’t remember going, but sleeping outside in a tent and cooking over a fire isn’t exactly unappealing. Still, looking around this world, where… how… when? Those kinds of questions.]

Would we even be able to?

[So far he’s only seen the very tops of buildings peeking over the canopy of sakura trees making the park-filling grove. Whether that’s a city surrounding them or something else, he doesn’t know. Makoto’s mentioned having a lighthouse for a home… He has to wonder if that’s the same for all gods, having their own homes and such. And the shinkis, apparently, live with them?

Seeing Goten’s energy halt and then that thoughtful look… Meh, maybe he shouldn’t question this so much, but it’s kind of hard not to. Being thrown into some strange life without direction or memories. So he bites back the rest of the questions, deciding not to bother Goten with more overthinking.] Don’t worry about it. We’ll find out.

You said something about… flying?

If you want to go camping, and I want to go camping we should be able to. I don't think anyone would stop us.

[Sousuke you are over thinking things. If someone wants to go camping, they just go camping. t least, that's how Goten sees it. He doesn't view this world as being very restricting or there being anyone around that can really tell him what to do. Maybe his god, but that still a partnership right?

It's the last question that makes Goten's smile return full force.]

Mmhm!

[Goten jumps up from his spot on the blanket and lands on his feet with ease. He turns to face Sousuke and gives him a full-hearted grin.]

I figured out I could do it. I showed a few people but I haven't found anyone else that can! Hey, Hey! Sousuke! Wanna fly?

Depends on how strong we’re bonded to our gods.

[But yes, he is over thinking things and unfortunately, that’s kind of his issue, being guarded and self-reliant as he is. He wants to make sure he understands what he’s getting into. Still, the thought of going camping is intriguing and he glances around the sakura grove once more. Where would they even camp though? Here? Was there an ocean in this place? Could they leave their gods to go off and do something with others? Who knows.

But scratch all that. He’s going to pause that food lifting to his mouth and stare at Goten for several full seconds. It took that long to process that this kid is actually serious about those words. Goten… just apparently professed to fly. Sousuke doesn’t know what to make of that at the moment. In a world of gods and shinki, is that… normal?]

Uh… I’m pretty sure I can’t.

[The very thought of flying, him flying, doesn’t even seem possible.]

You “figured it out”?

Ahuh!

[Goten looks pretty excited, he's standing there earnestly as he just grins at Sousuke. He bounces off the ground, its a bit of a high jump but the odd part of that is that he doesn't come back down. Goten floats in place, giggling. There's no strings or anything. Just pure natural flying. He floats a bit higher, doing circles just over the fellow shinki's head]

See? I'm like a birdie! I donno why I haven't found anyone else that can yet. Sousuke! Stand up! Stand up! C'mon! It'll be fun!

[He's still doing figure eights just over head with the biggest smile. There may even be a flip or two here and there just so he can show off a bit to Sousuke. But eventually he slows to float down to him, waiting eagerly.]

[Honestly, he’s almost expecting that answer. But the jump has him arching a brow… and the following ends up with his jaw hanging half open. The food in his chopsticks remains frozen in the air as he stares at the smaller boy. Who’s… obviously floating in the air like he doesn’t weigh a thing. Yes, there’s a second where he looks for strings, a hidden pole, anything that might defy what’s obviously right in front of his face. And now currently circling around his head like a bird.

Sousuke’s speechless. His tongue just sits in his mouth for several seconds. Almost numbly, he climbs to his feet, not sure if he’s doing it because he’s curious or because there a flying person telling him to do so. (In this place of gods and shinki, well… he’s having a long day.) But he gets up regardless, turning his head to try and follow the other boy who’s still wandering around his head. Grinning like he’s the happiest thing in the world.

And showing off. Surprisingly, that’s the thing that actually snaps his stun and he blinks a few times. Gives his head a small shake, eyes frontward. Then finally looks back up as Goten lowers down in front of him.]

You can fly.

[Oh brilliant.]

That's what I said!

[Goten blinks at him, his head tilting to the side a bit in confusion. It's an obvious but odd statement. He just did loops and flips over Sousuke's head, of course he can fly! But showing Sousuke isn't enough for Goten, he wants to do something more for him! Something to hopefully make him smile and just enjoy himself. Goten has had a ball since he found out he could fly, why shouldn't Sousuke experience the same?]

Let's have fun, okay?

[Another quick smile and he drifts behind Sousuke slowly. He moves back a bit before spreading his arms wide and giving Sousuke a strong hug him from behind. Even though his arms can't fully wrap around the swimmer's larger torso, he still has a decent grip somehow. Not enough to hurt Sousuke, (of course not, he'd never ever do that!) but obviously one that exceeds what a small child should be able to do. And---he's starting to float upward slowly, Sousuke will be coming with him!))

[He knows that’s what Goten said but he’s obviously not used to seeing someone professing they can fly, to say nothing of actually flying. The blink and head tilt in confusion from Goten earns a furrowed brow and slight pout of wry annoyance from the larger boy. Seriously, kid? Don’t look at him like that. But the pout turns into a small look of surprise as Goten sinks down from the sky and moves behind him.] Where are you going?

[Something about “let’s have fun” and Goten moving out of his view is a little—] Oy--! [Sousuke’s eyes widen and he tenses up as arms wrap around his torso. One part because Goten seriously just invaded his personal space, another part because he’s hugging him, and a third part because… he can feel this kid’s got more strength in him than he looks like. And that’s a little—Thought broken off again and Sousuke feels his body lift until his feet come right off the grass. As in he’s not on the ground anymore!]

Goten! [Cue both hands snapping to the boy’s wrists. When did he agree to this?!]

Edited (derp cut/paste) 2016-09-28 23:57 (UTC)

[Goten lifts him a good three or four feet off the ground before he stops, blinking. The right side of his face is pressed agaist him practically smushing his right cheek against Sousuke's back so he can't really look up at him but he tries away! Is he scared? The larger hands grabbing onto his wrists make him wonder too. They're not even that high off the ground yet!
Really this wasn't the reaction Goten was expecting at all. It leaves him a bit unsure what to do. Flying is fun. Why isn't Sousuke having fun?]

What's wrong?

[Sousuke, to his credit, doesn’t gape too long. Or yell. Once he finds himself floating those couple feet in the air and not going down immediately… well… It’s hard to deny what’s happening. He’s flying. Or more, Goten is and he’s along for the ride. He can feel the kid’s face pressing against his back and he keeps his hands right on Goten’s wrists, just in case the boy decides to go flying higher.

Fear… not really. But definitely surprised and wondering if this is even happening for several seconds. The weightless feeling and the very real fact his feet aren’t on the ground anymore. When Goten’s question floats up behind him, he has to give a small breath, slightly embarrassed, but not really frantic.]

Nothing… Just got surprised.

[With the shock fading, he’s able to focus more on the feeling. And if he can ignore being carted around under his arms like this, it’s… actually starting to get exciting.]

Uh… maybe I could put my arm around your shoulders or something.

[Okay so maybe the position’s a little more embarrassing than he thought. But hey, he’s not asking to be put down or anything!]

[ This position isn't exactly the most comfortable for Goten either, but it was the first one that came to mind. Sousuke has a good two feet of height over the boy so no matter how Goten actually carries him, it is probably going to look a little strange. Not that that matters! What's important here is that Sousuke enjoys himself. That's Goten's goal. So it's a bit of a relief when mentions being just surprised. So they can keep going then. Asking for a change of position isn't that bad of a request either.]

Whatever you think is best.

[The words are bit muffled by Sousuke's shirt but he tries to say them loud and clear. Goten then slowly lowers him back down towards the ground. He's very gentle in setting Sousuke back on his feet before releasing his hold and drifting back a bit, though his wrists are still being held.]

Let's do it!

[He's still fully set on this. There's no escape! He'll just patiently float there and wait for Sousuke to put his arm around him or whatever he wants. Regardless, Goten is going to get to fly with Sousuke!!]

[Sousuke huffs a little at the muffled comment. Well, he doesn’t know about “best” but it’s certainly better than having himself hauled around like this. He finds himself stretching his legs a little on instinct, pointing his feet and reaching for the ground, as they lower back down. Grateful that he doesn’t just drop him (not that he thinks Goten would), he takes a step or two to feel the ground again, still not letting the kid’s wrists go. Because he apparently knows that he’s in for the ride whether he “likes” it or not. And really, Sousuke doesn’t want to spoil Goten’s excitement… It’s kind of infectious.]

All right. All right. [Half wry, half a small tease. He finally releases the boy’s wrists and then slips to the side. As Goten gets into position, he lifts his arm and loops it over the smaller boy’s shoulder, trying not to put a burden on his neck and trying not to put too much pressure on his shoulder either. Goten’ll still be free to keep an arm around Sousuke’s torso too. Once he’s secured, his looped arm offering his wrist for the boy to hold onto, he nods.] When you’re ready.

[And braces himself somewhat.]

I've been ready!

[Goten answers practically instantly, kicking his feet a little in excitement. This is going to be so great! Sousuke and him are going to have fun! After this they can maybe even plan a camping thing! If he wasn't holding still for Sousuke to grab onto him, Goten would be doing flips and loop de loops overhead just to release some of his energy.

Once he feels Sousuke's arm over his shoulder, his own arm naturally moves around Sousuke's torso, just for added support. His other hand gently grabs onto the offered wrist. While he's fairly certain he would be fast enough to catch Sousuke if he did accidentally fall off or let go, Goten really doesn't want to risk it. This is suppose to be fun, not scary. So whatever support he can give, he'll happily take. The position is easier to work with then the one prior. More thought out and functional. Plus the added bonus of being able to see what's in front of him is always a good thing. After a moment of making sure Sousuke is attached and secure to him, Goten slowly starts to raise up.

He's really resisting just blasting off with his friend. Luckily, something tells him better then that. So it's slow for now as he lifts Sousuke off the ground. He isn't heavy and the weight on his shoulders doesn't bother him at all. If anything, he's more concerned about what Sousuke is thinking.

His gaze shifts over to him once they're a couple feet off the ground and rising. It's when they get just higher then the tree line that Goten stops to float there for a second. Practically the whole area can be seen, with little sakura petals blowing by. It's a pretty sight. He smiles a bit more before flying forward so they can drift above and over all the festivities. ]

We're pretty high now! You can see the whole party from up here!

[Slow down, you crazy child. Sousuke knows Goten’s excited, but he wonders just how much difference their ages are making in their excitement level. HE feels his own rising regardless. The idea of flying, even if he’s not doing it under his own power, is still a gripping idea. A tiny smirk appears at the corner of his lips when he feels those bitty jerks at his grip. Like Goten’d be doing all sorts of aerial acrobatics if he hadn’t been holding onto him.

But he’s settled and—for better or worse—he’s made his agreement. The arm around his torso comforts him, though his heart’s still beating rapidly. A small hand grips his wrist and he gives his own hand a few flexes to make sure the hold is tight. Unfortunately, since Sousuke’s still just wearing his swimming legskins (not that he knows what they area, memories thing), Goten’s going to have to make do with holding onto him barechested. Yeah, the idea of falling is there in his head, but he’s going to trust Goten to either not let him fall or catch him if he does. And… well… he’s dead so does it really matter? ~~That’s a very morbid thought.~~

Once again they’re rising and he stretches down with his legs on instinct until everything comes off with the gentlest of partings. Sousuke clamps his arm hard around Goten’s neck and shoulders without even realizing it. His free arm hangs by his side, ready to grab if he has to. But they’re really going up… and he’s not so shocked about it this time. To the point he can just feel. This strange somewhat weightless feeling. It’s slow and there’s a part of him that’s eager to go higher. But unfortunately, he’s still a little too logical for that right now. Take it slow, take it easy.

When Goten does look over at him, the larger boy isn’t even watching him. He’s gazing down towards the retreating ground, lips slightly parted, eyes wide and intense. A light of excitement, childish and wonder, glows inside his teal gaze, lost among the dream-like feeling of really flying. The pink cherry blossoms that have always curled around the air are now much closer, much freer, and the tree line finally passes below them when they stop. Sousuke’s completely distracted, scanning over the picnickers, the trees, everything he can see. It’s amazing… It’s really amazing.

Only when they move forward does he actually snap out of the revelry with a blink.]

Aa. [A little breathless grin.] When did you learn you could do this?

[His expressions are really interesting! Their faces are much closer then earlier so it's so much easier to see the change even when Sousuke isn't looking directly at him. It's something Goten usually wouldn't be too focused on, but he wants to make sure the older shinki is enjoying himself.

When Goten first ran over to greet him with handfuls of sakura petals, Sousuke's eyes had been so much more vacant and distant. But that seems to be gone, for now. If this can make Sousuke enjoy himself and distract him for at least a little while from whatever he had been thinking then it's even more worth it! It makes Goten's smile that much bigger and brighter too! Even if this flying is slow compared to what he had done prior, it's almost just as fun with a friend on board!]

Uhm....today! I was climbing one of the trees and missed a branch. I didn't want to hit the ground and..I didn't! It sorta just happened!

[Of course once he figured out he could float, he had to try out going higher and other stuff too! It's been smooth sailing from there]

I'll take you flying anytime Sousuke! Doesn't everything looks so small from up here? It's like a different world! It feels great!

[Goten laughs joyfully before picking up a little bit a speed in excitement but nothing drastic. Maybe sometime he can really just blast off with Sousuke but flying is still a pretty new feeling to him too. It's better not to over do it...or maybe he should surprise him again later with it.]

I can go faster too if you want--or higher!

[Well it’s better than Goten’s face being shoved into his back. Even if this does mean the kid’s able to see his expressions a lot more. But he’s not thinking much about that now, far too distracted by the sakura trees floating beneath them and the sight of so many people so far below. It’s still got him in the thralls of amazement, not something so easy to break free of.

Really, it does hit him just how much effort Goten’s put into trying to help him lighten up. From the handful of cherry blossoms to the invitation to lunch and now this… It really is nice. He glances to the side, catching sight of that wide smile out the corner of his gaze. This kid’s got a pure heart. Though pure or not, he’s glad they’re not pulling those loops he’d seen Goten do earlier.]

Today? [he echoes, a brow arching in surprise.] Huh. I wonder if that’s just you or everyone…

[There are gods in this place and don’t gods normally have special powers? Plus the shinki are supposed to help them. But it’s all speculation for the most part. He doesn’t want to get himself too lost in the idea of suddenly being able to fly… but…]

Aa. It does look different.

[The trees normally overhead are now below them and the cherry blossoms aren’t as thick up here. Though they appear more active, wandering around and curling through the sky. He offers a tiny wry smile at the talk about being up here being a different world, but it works out and he doesn’t want to bring down Goten’s mood. Kid stuff, right?

Sousuke blinks as the speed picks up; he feels it on his face. It’s not a lot so he doesn’t start or anything. Though it does pique his curiosity.]

Oy, don’t strain yourself. You just found out you can fly today, right?

Huh? I don't think I am? Flying is easy and you're not heavy at all!

[He offers a reassuring smile but still listen to the advice. He knows Sousuke is just looking out for him and he has a point. Easy and effortless as it may feel, it's probably a good idea not to push it. Especially when he's carrying someone. There will be plenty of time afterward that he'll be able to practice more extreme flying. Like seeing just how fast he can go and such.

The concern is appreciated still. His smile remains but something else comes to mind.]

Hey, Sousuke! I know we just met and you don't much about me and I don't know much about you. [Heck, neither one of them remember anything besides their own names so that isn't surprising at all]

But is it okay if we're friends? You're really cool and I like talking and flying with you. I still wanna go camping sometime too! So I wanna be friends.

[Flying’s easy, he says. Sousuke has to scoff a little, amused.] Maybe for you. [How would it feel to fly on his own power though? This alone feels amazing enough.

He only occasionally looks at Goten, the rest of the time far too distracted by and enjoying the sights all around him. From the clouds to the sky to the trees so far below. There’s some curiosity about just how fast and high Goten can go, but he’d prefer to hear about it back on the ground after the kid’s done setting those records.]

Hm? [He turns to look at the boy. I know we just met. Oy. What is this? That kind of introduction has him arching a brow, slightly bracing for the oncoming comment. But instead of being awkward, it turns into something… else. He blinks and makes a small sound of surprise.

Is it okay if they’re friends? Instead of answering right away, something halts his tongue and he falls silent, looking back down at the ground. Friend, huh… Is that really all it takes to be friends? A few minutes together, some words, a fun memory? But there are future plans, obviously, the want to spend more time together.

Still, “friend” feels like something more in his mind, not something you just toss out after a short while. And yet, Goten’s still young, innocent and pure, and Sousuke really can’t find it in his heart or mind to consider doubting the kid’s sincerity.]

What do you think being a friend means?

[The pause of silence makes him glance over, he absently slows his flying a bit. Was it bad that he asked? Maybe it was too soon? It felt right to ask. What's wrong with being friends? It wasn't like he was asking to marry Sousuke. Gross! They were having fun together and Sousuke seems really nice. Do that have to wait to be friends?

The corners of Goten's mouth drop a bit as he considers. But just as he opens his mouth to question the shinki, he gets his question met with another question. A weird question!]

...

[ Goten squints at him for a second before averting his gaze to think, cheeks poofing out with air. Almost as if he's pouting. He doesn't...actually remember ever having a friend. So maybe he doesn't really know what it means. If anything he had just been speaking his mind openly. But Sousuke's question is really racking his brain.]

Being friend means...um, hanging out, having fun together, doing stuff together, sharing things, eating good food and lots of things...A friend is always someone you can always count on and will always have your back. No matter what! If you're a friend you're never alone.

[As he rambles on, his overthinking gives way towards the end as he starts spouting what he feels it means. He isn't as energetic now, more thoughtful and maybe just a bit self-conscious. His cheeks are a very faint pink, but that could be due to the bit of wind. He forces a frown and his brow furrows before he looks back at Sousuke. It's clearly forced, the corner of his mouth is twitching as he tries not to smile.]

Friends fly together! Even if we're not friends now or you don't wanna be...then maybe later we can.

Edited 2016-10-06 02:28 (UTC)

[Sousuke figures it’s going to be weird, but then again, he doesn’t think that’s the kind of question you can just throw out at someone and expect an answer. He feels the lax in their speed and a twinge of guilt winds through his chest. He really doesn’t want to burn the kid; Goten’s innocent and kind. If he feels it right to ask that question, he’s got every right to. Sousuke, however, still has to answer it.

And his mind wonders what exactly a “friend” is? While some people might toss the word out so easily, something inside him tells him it’s more than that. It takes more than a single enjoyable afternoon to make someone a friend. Doesn’t it take longer than that? How can you know who someone really is so soon so fast? Maybe it’s too heavy for Goten to be thinking about and as Sousuke considers that, he keeps his own mouth shut. Hell, he’s half-surprised he instinctively thinks all this as well.

Over a simple question.]

I see.

[So that’s the answer, hm. Goten’s answer. Well, they’re currently doing all that stuff, with plans and promises to do the rest of the list and more in the future. He knows he’s enjoying himself right now, knows he’ll leave Goten with a small pang when it comes time for them to depart, and will probably enjoy meeting him again in the future. He trusts him too (which is kind of surprising, considering he’s just met the kid and is now literally putting his safety in Goten’s hands).

But when Goten starts spouting, he has to crack some and gives the other boy a small grin, eyes closing in a little, accepting look. That determined, focused answer at the end kind of ties all that rambling from the smaller boy together, doesn’t it.]

Aa. I don’t remember anything, but I feel like being friends take more than that. [Teal eyes open and he gives Goten a small nod.] I trust you. And I want to meet again to do more things together.

So ask me again later. I’ll answer you better then.

[He can respect that answer, though its hard not to feel at least a little bit disappointed by it. Goten is more ready to make friends then Sousuke is, but his reasoning does reach him. It's sound and makes sense. Friendship should take more then flying one afternoon. He gets it but Goten still doesn't feel wrong for asking. He really meant everything he said. Sousuke's reply doesn't change that, he just has to listen and try to understand it. He gets it! He does but that doesn't mean he can't pout about it. The only thing that keeps him from doing so for long is the 'promise' of meeting again and doing things together. He grins, kicking his feet a little in excitement.]

Okay! As long as we can still hang out! You should just tell me when you think we can be friends though! You already know I want to so you should tell me when you want to.

[At least this way Sousuke won't be put on the spot. Goten doesn't know exactly what all it would take for the other shinki to consider him a friend, so its better to just leave it open.

Looking forward, he does another fly through the area before looping back around in the direction they came in. Its a good ten or so minutes before Goten finally flies back to their original spot. He stops just over the picnic blanket and slowly lowers down, trying to place Sousuke on his feet. He could easily keep this up for hours, but he's not so sure about Sousuke since it's his first time flying.]

[Sousuke admits to himself he doesn’t want to disappoint Goten, but he doesn’t think lying to him is any better. Simply put, making friends for him takes longer than an hour of fun and first conversation. He wants to meet with the boy again, obviously, a silent comment that he finds Goten interesting enough to reach out for that potential friendship. The little pout that comes to the smaller boy’s face earns a softer expression from the swimmer, but whether it’s apologetic or an offer to comfort is up to the black-haired boy to decide. At least that—and his words—earn a smile once again. Good a smile looks much more at home on Goten than a frown or a pout.]

Aa. I’ll let you know when I feel ready. [Hard as that might be. He tightens his arm a little around Goten’s shoulders to adjust himself and looks out towards the world so far below them.] This isn’t a feeling I want to forget…

[The freedom of flight. Yes, it might’ve been alarming the first time, but the longer he stays here, even if supported, the more it feels… nostalgic. Like he knows this feeling somehow. It makes no sense, and yet there it is, without a doubt. To be in a place where the ground doesn’t hold onto him and he’s free to move and drift in all directions.

He doesn’t know how long they’re up there, but he basks in it. The wind in his face, the brush of occasional petals or clouds, and the lack of gravity pulling him down. A quiet disappointment slips through him when the ground begins to widen below him and the place where they left comes back into view. Admittedly, it feels weird when his feet touch the ground, and he keeps his arm around Goten for a moment or two before trusting his legs.]

I can see how that’s addicting.

[Goten doesn't press anymore on the friendship thing. He's just really enjoys his time with Sousuke. Flying is great but seeing someone else enjoy the experience just as much just makes it more so. No matter the ups and downs, Goten can't help the smile that's spread across his face. He's already a pretty upbeat kid and the promises of more times to come just make him that much more eager.]

You don't have to forget it. I'll take you flying whenever you want, Sousuke! It's a lot of fun for me too. Maybe I'll be able to go faster then too!

[This definitely has given him motivation to perfect this ability. Though somehow, Goten knows it won't be that difficult. It all comes much to naturally to him. Like something he's been doing for months and months. It's a strange feeling of familiarity that just feels right!

Once he has Sousuke's feet on the ground. He floats there next to him. It's when he doesn't let go right away that Goten sort of catches the hint to stay put just for a little while. They were above the trees for quite awhile]

Hmhm! I told you it'd be fun! You're pretty strong too, Sousuke! You held onto me the whole time. Your arms aren't tired?

[Granted, Goten did sort of counter act some of weight by holding him too but still. Goten doesn't know how long they were up in the sky, but it was a good while. He wanted Sousuke to enjoy himself for as long as possible.]

[Sosuke admits it feels a little strange to be back on land again. Without the freedom to drift in the air, he feels heavier upon his return. The wind on his face doesn’t have the same sensation and his legs seem to be rooted for a little while. He really did enjoy that experience and it’s tempting to abandon the ground and ask Goten to take him back up in the sky. But he holds himself back, knowing he can’t just go gallivanting off into the air all day.]

Heh. You’re going to tempt me with that a lot, aren’t you.

[His voice is softer, but it’s a gentle tease as well when he looks over to the other boy again. Who’s still hovering around him. The idea of going faster doesn’t do anything helpful for his reluctant agreement to stay grounded for now. It’d been a thrill to go as fast as they had.

Once he feels well enough to move, Sousuke silently slips his arm off of Goten’s shoulders and lowers it. He rubs at his arm a few times and rolls his shoulder to return some of the feeling to it. Hadn’t been uncomfortable, but it still needs some feeling rubbed into it again. A soft ‘thanks’ comes out when Goten comments his strength.]

No, not tired. A little numb. [From being crooked over for so long.] But it’s fine, Goten.

[As if to prove it, he lifts both of them and then drops them, letting the pair swing on either side of him now that the blood’s flowing perfect again.]

I had fun.

Maybee~!

[He drags out the word teasingly before breaking out into laughter. If promises of flying get Sousuke to hang out with him more, then he'll happily take him flying all the time. It's a fun experience for Goten too. So if they both enjoy it then it obviously needs to happen more often.

It's only when Sousuke does slip his arm off his shoulders that Goten slowly lowers to the ground. He drops down and once his feet touch the ground he starts waving his arms in small circles as if trying to route his shoulders bit. Sousuke isn't heavy. No where near, but its still a weight he isn't use to. They were in the sky for awhile. But Goten is far from sore. But something tell him to stretch anyway, just in case. It's only at the fun comment that he stops.]

..Really?!

[His head lifts up quickly at that. Smile big as ever. He's beaming! Sousuke did have fun with him! Mission success! He clenches his hands into small fists and lifts his arms up before bouncing up and down, throwing his hands in the air. Endless energy here.]

Hahaha! Alright! I had a lot of fun too! It was really cool to fly with you too! You weren't scared t all! We should do it again! And alll the other stuff too.

[Oh great. Sousuke shoots him a look when that word’s dragged out. He’s going to start right now already? Che, this kid’s going to be impossible. The laughter earns a small smile and he scratches at the side of his neck, fingers flicking a stray sakura petal away from his clavicle.

He hadn’t lied; the temptation of flying again is still there, resting inside and excited for the next time. As Goten settles down on the ground again, he casts a surreptitious eye towards him, as if the smaller boy might not stick to the ground even if he wants to. For a second, he thinks Goten’s imitating him with those shoulder rotations. He doubts he’s heavy for the boy to lift; it’s not hard to see the kid’s stronger than he looks and he doesn’t look strained at all.
