Honestly, getting one up on Gojou Satoru doesn’t actually elicit the same thrill it would’ve over a decade ago. He knows he’s done it when he sees just how tense the poor bastard is over just hearing him, but it doesn’t inspire any sick joy out of him like it would’ve before.

Unfortunately, Toji knows he probably has a role to keep, and while he’s no actor, he can play things up a bit for a little while. And, if nothing else, he’s never been Gojou Satoru’s biggest fan, anyway. He can afford him some genuine distaste.

“A man can’t be walking home from his job?” He questions him right back, sounding a bit bored. “Thought you might understand that sort’a thing, now that you’ve grown up a bit.”

In the past he might’ve made more of an effort to sound sarcastic, but he doesn’t want to put that much effort in right now, so only the dryness remains. Not that it made much of a difference to him, probably, but as long as Toji knew, then his point was there. Besides, to his own credit, Toji had already put the effort in: Back about two minutes ago when he’d seen him, debated with himself on whether or not he should bother with bothering him, and then done it. Sure, the decision had been made in about twenty seconds, but that was twenty more than he’d ever given him before. Can’t Gojou sound just a little more grateful about that?

Of course he won’t, primarily because there’s no way he’d even know to begin with, so Toji’s not gonna be the dumbass to voice that thought out-loud. He knows it wouldn’t happen, anyway, even if he did know. Probably. More than likely.

A chuckle bubbles out of his chest at that, though it could be mistaken for a scoff. He’ll let him decide on which he wants it to be. “Never been known to not have the audacity,” he replies, which is probably about the stupidest thing he could say, but oh well. He’d half-expected to be blown away the minute Gojou turned on him, but if some banter keeps him from doing that, then Toji’s here to provide.

“Try not to damn a guy for wanting to have a little fun, now, though. That’s all it really is, yanno—honest.”

Of course, he’s making no move to sound that way, but his hands are held up in surrender, in placation. That counts for something, right?
