[Will they, though? They've been doing this for months now. And while they have learned to live together, finding their routine around the apartment and not to snap at each other at every turn, they still keep finding each other in these situations. Digging the knife deeper into their wounds, only to end up licking them later on. It's quite pathetic in Goro's mind. But then again, what else could one expect of them? Two fucks up of the society.

Goro props his head up, to search Akira's eyes.]


I'm sorry. For everything. I didn't realize just how.. terrified the thought of losing you is.

[A faint glassy sheen forms over his eyes as he looks down at Akira. He can feel his heart jump to his throat, bringing a slight pink hue to frame his face. And finally, that breath he took earlier is released, his shoulders rolling back in relaxation.]

Okay. [Then he leans back in, placing his lips between Akira's eyes.] Thank you.

Quite. [He admits with a nod.] Let me go wash my face and change out my clothes. Drink your tea in meantime, it's important to monitor your hydration while recovering from hypothermia.

[Enjoy your lukewarm tea that's still probably a little bit too bitter. But it was made with love. Or with as much love as Goro Akechi can pour into cup of tea.

Goro gets up from the bed, leaving to bathroom. He proceeds to do all his usual nighttime routines, washing his face and applying some moisturizing cream and combing his hair and tying it up in a ponytail. Being trapped in backwater fantasy-land is no reason to skip good skin care, you know! So, it takes a while before he's ready. Then he returns to their bedroom, undresses himself until all he's wearing is boxers and loose t-shirt.]


How are you feeling? Is your temperature getting back to its normal state?

[She snorts a laugh at the visual, but doesn't argue it. Nor does she think that'll be a term that's entering her vocabulary, except maybe to tease Akira...?]

Wanna go out and do anything? [she asks, blowing on her coffee again and squeezing his shoulders a little. It's kind of an awkward angle, but she does her best!] Or we could hang out here. Goro's probably got some nerd games we can play, right?
icequeenly: (❄️ did I really need it?)

delivery!

[ Akira will receive a delivery of a dozen or so chocolate dipped madelines - (little French cakes in the shape of a shell) in a perfectly wrapped white gift box tied with a red ribbon.

Along with the following handwritten note attached - the penmanship is as perfect as the gift wrapping: ]


To the "Gentleman Thief"
Merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy.

Your Secret Santa

[Christmas unfortunately also falls under the time that can only be described "difficult" when it comes to Akira and Goro. Instead of celebration of closeness, appreciation your friends and so, it works as a beginning of the end. It's time when a mad man went and decided to rewrite reality, placing the two young men into situation that neither of them asked. Not really.

February is going to be amazing...

Anyway, to Goro Christmas had little to no meaning. He was used to spend it either at work or alone at his apartment. But this time was different. His relationship status had changed and well.. this was popular holiday for couples, right?

So when Akira gets home on the 25th, he'll find a wine bottle and small wrapped box containing an astronomical watch. In the fridge there's also small cake (don't worry, Kotone made it). No card or anything, but Goro really doesn't think there's need for anything]

--cat incoming!

[personal profile] murderingjustice 2023-12-28 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[It's their first proper holiday as couple, so there's no way that a nerd like Goro Akechi would waste the opportunity to do it by the playbook. He had the whole romantic scenario planned out -- aside from the dinner, for the obvious reasons, when he had heard the familiar sound from the outside of their apartment. A soft meowing along with some rattling.

It was the cat he had came across during the winter solstice festival with Yu Narukami, one that had for some reason followed him around whenever he went out.

Now, Akechi wasn't exactly a pet person but he knew how much the absence of Morgana affected Akira. Of course, he didn't expect another cat to replace the Metaverse Guide but... well, he had a feeling that it could perhaps mend some of Akira's scars that he didn't share with anyone -- him included. So, off to cat wrangling he goes!

He does make it back before Akira, taking the cat to the bathroom to clean up the poor feline. So, when he hears their front door open and shut Akechi, hurries to step outside of their bathroom. His manner of dress.. isn't really what one would expect him. Instead of a fancy gear to match the romantic scene set by the table, he's wearing sweatshirt and slacks, with sleeves pulled up and wet stains on his middle body. Oops.]


Ah. You're back already? I thought you'd take longer.

[Yeaahh, the slacks might belong to Akira, to be complete honest. It's like they have their school jerseys here.]

Really now? There aren't any lonely souls in Aldrip looking comfort from the drink on this night of all nights? Well, color me surpri-- ah wait! [Oh uh. It seems like Goro Akechi had done amateurish mistake by leaving a wet cat unattended as he came to greet Akira. So before he has even a chance to address the question a very wet tortoise-shell cat just zooms out behind Goro's legs, shedding the towel it had been wrapped in along the way while making its way to further into their apartment.]

[The said dark blur makes a few rounds around their shared living space, before diving underneath the safety underneath of the couch. For what it's worth? The feline doesn't look aggressive at all, just spooked and confused by the sudden water-treatment and being indoors.]

Ah, well. Yes, in fact I did. [Goro admits, feeling unexpectedly meek about it. This isn't exactly how he had wanted to introduce Akira to the cat. He had a whole speech and all prepared, but guess this'll have to do. He clears his voice with a few coughs and walks behind Akira.] I believe I met this feline at the festival with the feast and mistletoe. I gave it a few scarps of my plate and apparently it remembered our interaction, as it began to follow me around. I heard it meow under our balcony and brought it in. You do like cats after all.

Shut up. Just because I'm not fond of animal negligence doesn't mean I'm soft. [He grunts, but hugs Akira back and closes his eyes for the duration of their kiss. Well, at least the kiss is soft and tender. Goro parts his lips slightly just to have a taste of the other, giving Akira's bottom lip a lick.]

You look after the cat. I'll go change my clothes for something more appropriate.

[personal profile] murderingjustice 2023-12-29 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not the point, you idiot. [He rolls his eyes as he steps away from Akira.] Unlike you, I have standards for date nights.

[Which is rich, considering that they've really never done one properly. Not really. There's always been something going on. First him getting shot, the maze, Akira's kidnapping... All the in-between times were for recovery from all the incidents and them finding their place in each other's space.

But he is determined to do it right, this time!

Goro excuses himself to their bedroom to get rid of the wet (and smelly) clothes. Meanwhile! The cat had begun to lick her wet paws but stops to lock her eyes with the human that just dropped into her view. The fingers clearly do interest her, as her attention goes to them immediately and she begins to follow them with her gaze.

After a quick moment, she takes a tentative step forward, then another and another, slowly crawling towards Akira until her tiny little head peeks under the couch. ]

[Oh, Akira you adorable dork. Adorkable idiot. Goro shouts something from their bedroom as an answer as he continues dressing up, taking his sweet time like always. Getting pretty is almost a full-time job after all!

But as soon as Akira's own attention turns away from the cat, she sees an opening and makes a brave leap from underneath the couch, paws playfully stretched forward to capture the drumming digits!]
