[No that would be a waste of perfectly good candy, jeez.
But okay. One Battledome brand hard lemon candy, just for you, Mutsu, accompanied with bright innocent staring as he waits eagerly to see if you like it.
( You know, Yamato, he really trusted you. He trusted you! Trusted because right now, he's taking this innocent candy from innocent Yamato and popping it right in his mouth and-- )
[He should trust him! He should continue to trust him! He was friendly and nice and shared a thing he liked! With you! Like a nice person! Who does nice things!
But Mutsu starts making faces that would be funny literally any other time, and screaming, which would be funny literally any other time, and accusing him of tampering with it? Which would never be funny ever, but usually Yamato would get kind of angry about it but this time?
This time he looks kind of maybe a tiiiiny bit crestfallen. Oops?]
...I didn't do anything to it, Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki.
( He can feel himself burning a hole in his cheek now and he can't. He can't deal and he's waiting for an explanation and stubbornly keeping himself from spitting it right at that not... smug... face?
What the hell...
Normally, he wouldn't care if he made some Shinsengumi punk upset but it's a different look on Yamato's face than he's used to and it causes him to take a step back. You see, Mutsu is actually a nice guy beneath all of his bark. He feels like he's kicked a pomeranian puppy and now he's the bad guy. )
Mmmmm...! ( He's trying to play it off. These aren't moans of pain they're... of delight? MMMMM this is so good? ) Mmm!!
( He's still making faces and his mouth hurts now and what if he just bit into it and got it over with? No, he can't do it. He can't. )
( And he does it! It he makes it! It's gone from sour to sweet and it's not so bad now and he looks pretty content with himself. Challenge accepted and done with. Yeah, he did it.
He still feels that acidic hole in his mouth though, but he isn't going to let that stop him, )
[He can tell that Mutsu feels like he kicked a puppy, and okay, maybe knowing that he feels bad for hurting his feeling (just a little!!) could have been enough, but Yamato is a punk and just keeps staring him down, taking advantage of Mutsu actually being a nice guy for as long as his gumi punk self can manage.
And he doesn't spit it out, so that's a victory.
And Mutsu even looks pretty pleased with himself once he's gotten past the sour hell-layer, so they both win? Maybe?
At any rate, Yamato will brighten up and offer Mutsu a whole handful to take with him, because he liked it so much. Thank him.]
Ah, you like it? Really, Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki? Here, here, take some with you.
( How dare you take advantage of the fact Mutsu is actually a nice guy... he lets you guys find out and this is what you do to him?! He has a handful of candies shoved at him and he's a weird mix of happy because he likes being given things and it wasn't awful but also concerned for his life? )
Hey, hey! ( Stop, stop, he doesn't need them all? ) Keep some for yourself!?
[Hey. Hey. He knew all along Mutsu was actually a nice guy... he's just a Shinsengumi, and therefore selectively ignores certain things. That being one of them. But he couldn't really keep ignoring it when you let him hole up in your room not-sleeping and taught him about The Technologies, so. Rewards for the puppy sword.]
I have a lot, though? [They're cheap, he has tones, take the handful of hell-candy, Mutsu.]
( STOP WE DON'T TALK ABOUT ANY OF THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED HE THOUGHT THAT WAS THEIR MUTUAL SUFFERING AGREEMENT. )
How much did ya get?!
( A whole store's worth? Okay, it's actually not that much but... ah...AAAAAH
He's just sort of... awkwardly holding these candies now? What the heck. )
. . . !
(What if he just threw them at Yamato's face and ran. No, but he's actually a nice guy and wouldn't do that either... why... why do you take advantage of his kindness, Yamato. But congratulations, Yamato, you've managed to checkmate this puppy sword between being kind and stubborn and Mutsun and wild punk. )

Genuinely. For reals.]

A few bags...
[Not quite a whole store's worth, but definitely An Abnormal Amount. Because Yamatonokami Yasusada is not a sword that goes halfway on anything.]
So it's not like it's inconvenient to share... even with you.
[It's not like he wanted to be nice or anything, baka.]
