Do you think I could come over just for tonight?

[actus]

ah. of course.
door's unlocked.
i'm already in a nest of blankets.

[secrowtary]

What do you mean by door's unlocked? You have to lock your door, it's common sense.

[ Is this something he should be getting worked up about?? ]

Besides...I don't need door to get inside.

[ Scandalous ]

[actus]

[ oh my god why is he dating this. ]

oh yeah?
i forgot for a second how talented my boyfriend was.
still leaving it unlocked though. too lazy.

[secrowtary]

[ You tell me. ]

...
I'm being reminded every single day how reckless my boyfriend is.

[ He runs over there even faster than usual, knowing that the door is unlocked and so on. The thing is...instead of entering his bedroom after coming in, he just stands behind the bedroom door. ]

M-Maybe I should take it off.

[ HIBIKI??? He can probably hear you...what are you even talking about. ]

[actus]

[ on my god. akira's face is buried against a very soft pillow and he's almost fallen into a light slumber by the time he hears hibiki's voice. what in the world -

he lifts his head up from the pillow, blinking and staring into the darkness of the room. ]

... Hibiki?

[ cue a tiny yawn and rubbing at his eyes. ]

[secrowtary]

Ah. Are you awake?

[ Of course he is. ]

Do you think you could keep your eyes shut until I'm under the blankets?

[ This is so embarrassing. ]

[actus]

[ .... well okay. his mind naturally starts running through endless possibilities. ]

Sure.

[ he's too tired to think of a witty comeback. instead he lets his head drop back down, mindful to shift towards the right side of the bed so hibiki actually has room.

operation shutting eyes commencing. ]

[secrowtary]

[ Naturally...well, he can't be blamed. Hibiki didn't exactly help his own case.

That said, he walks across the room and lies beside Akira wearing this. Once he wraps himself in one of the blankets, he nudges the other boy. ]

You can open them.

it's 4:30 in the morning and i'm howling in laughter??

[actus]

[ ...... what.


what.
why?
how??

akira blinks a few times, just to confirm that his eyes aren't playing tricks on him. no, that is indeed what he thinks it is. ]

... You run out of clean uniforms? [ there's a twitch of a smile though. this is so ridiculous. ]

i'm not even sorry

[secrowtary]

... Meow.

[ That's an affirmative meow coming from a flustered captain tugging the hood so it'd cover half of his face. ]

[actus]

[ he can't help the warm laugh that bubbles up. he grins and tips his head so as to reach hibiki's cheek. ]

...ah. What's the special occasion?

[secrowtary]

[ Hibiki's hissing now, just like an angry cat. ]

It's called doing the laundry. [ So special. ] How ridiculous do I look like wearing this? On a scale from one to ten.

[actus]

Probably a solid eight.

[ sorry, he's gonna laugh again, drowsy but utterly endeared. he drapes his arm lazily over hibiki's side, though. ]

It's okay. It's cute on you.

[secrowtary]

You didn't have to be sincere, you know.

[ Hibiki pinches his cheek. Honestly, he missed doing that. ]

It was either that or...

[ Does he even have to finish. Go wild, Akira's imagination. ]

[actus]

[ you asked! for the truth! gosh! ]

Or... [ oh. well. okay, then. he laughs, and decides not to dwell on that for his own sanity. ]

You could have told me. I would have brought extra clothes over.

[secrowtary]

I can take care of myself.

[ Huffs. He's doing it so well, too! Just look at him wearing his ridiculous onesie. ]

I think I'll need your help in the morning, though...

[actus]

[ it's really adorable and endearing now that akira knows he wasn't doing it for - ah, other purposes. ]

That's fine.

[ it'd be cute to see him wearing his clothes. ]

It's not like I don't see you a lot.

[secrowtary]

[ Other purposes....Akira please admit that you're a furry. ]

I'd like to borrow your coat.

[ He's being shamelessly specific here about his preferences, oops. ]

[actus]

[ BUT IT'S SO BIG ON YOU.... ]

Sure. You were the one that fixed it, anyway.

[ fantasy fodder, clearly. ]

[secrowtary]

And...some other clothes, too.

[ He should've said that earlier, probably. ]

Anything will do, I'm not picky.

[ Hasn't he just asked for his coat, though... ]

[actus]

[ he has, yes. ]

Ah, so you aren't going to wear this under my coat? I'm disappointed.

[ AKIRA. ]

[secrowtary]

I'd look ridiculous in a coat.

[ Why is the coat at fault here. ]

But if you're not willing, I'll have no other choice than to stay here forever.

[ It's too late when Hibiki realizes what he has just done. Honestly, his cheeks become red in a matter of seconds, it might be a new personal record. ]

[actus]

Ah...

[ stay here forever? hadn't he already offered that -

there's bubbling of laughter and he fights it off with a well-timed cough. ]

Don't worry, I'll give you enough clothes to wear back. It's fine.

[secrowtary]

Thank you, I really...appreciate it.

[ It's difficult to look Akira in the eyes when he's wearing this. For so many reasons. That's why, instead, Hibiki is pressing his face into his shoulder. ]

About that other thing... [ Of course he's not stating which. Of course. ] I'm not saying no, it's just...

[ The moving in thing. ]
