WEEK 0, SUNDAY

[doublesmall]

[The next time Higekiri opens a door, he'll find that it leads somewhere... unexpected. The first and most noticeable feature is that the opposite wall is entirely windowed, offering an expansive view of the sky; to see anything else, he'll have to approach. The rest of the room is a large, lavishly decorated office with an imposing desk to one side and several plush chairs and side-tables near the window.

Chuuya's seated at the desk, but he glances up when Higekiri appears, pushing himself up to step away from it.]

Hey, you made it. I'll be honest, I didn't think you'd work out the request function so fast-- it isn't really something we got to decide.

[banzais]

[wh]

.... Is this Paris...?

[WHERE IS HE RIGHT NOW

anyway he's just going to keep blinking owlishly at chuuya's explanation? hello? he's just bringing a bottle of wine, he doesn't even know what he accidentally sent]

Did you know I was bringing wine?

w1, is this tues or weds dana

[doublesmall]

[hige messaging for his dick appointment is like. the best thing so far this week? the chocolate syrup absolutely got a laugh out of him, and honestly, if hige was down then chuuya absolutely just summoned a bottle of it because why not. i really hate that a lot.

he doesn't mind laying around for a while after, either; that's all part of indulging, and as long as he doesn't have anyone else messaging for an appointment, he feels like he can take his time. he stretches out with a yawn eventually, though-- he doesn't really sleep around other people easily, so he's never fully drifted off.]

Well, what do you think-- was that fun enough for you?

we're making it weds bc he's already fucked too much on tuesday

[banzais]

The syrup was a surprise.

[and surprises are less his thing but admittedly hige does like new stuff?? he's a light sleeper too, against all odds, but that doesn't mean he's against just lazily laying around for a bit]

Can you summon anything you'd like like that?

w1, post-investigation

[doublesmall]

[Chuuya just makes a door to his bedroom this time, instead of bringing Higekiri to his meeting space first; they've established these appointments, for one thing, and for another thing he'd rather be more comfortable?

He's just lounging against the pillows when Hige arrives, glancing up to give him a nod.]

...how's your brother holding up?

[banzais]

... he's in pain.

[it takes higekiri a moment to answer, even as he toes off his shoes to be polite. he unfastens his jacket and moves it off to the side, even if he's not quite ready to undress past that. he'll go to sit at the edge of the bed, facing chuuya

there seems to be some levity lacking in his expression]

He's the type who is very kind, after all. And so losing humans like this hurts him, even if we know it must happen eventually.

w1, sunday

[doublesmall]

[he super feels the question marks, hige. this time he's just appearing wherever the heck higekiri happens to be, popping in all of a sudden and immediately finding a spot to settle in and perch. he doesn't look too happy, at the moment.]

Not sure how much information I'll have for you, but- I'm assuming you have questions.

[banzais]

[higekiri is actually in his own room for once?? he's still in the middle of cleaning up the chocolate syrup apparently, licking some of the syrup off his fingers when chuuya shows up]

Shall I stand on the other side of the barrier next time? Will that allow me to cut it?

[or he'll get his ass possessed

but mostly he

really wants to cut it]

w2, friday

[doublesmall]

[here they are in chuuya's stupid giant bed, after working out the horny that came upon them... chuuya's been a little bit stiffer than usual, actually, and now that they're done he's taking a little longer to catch his breath.]

Fuck. Don't.... please try not to... touch me in public.

[banzais]

[higekiri's just going to laugh faintly - it's a weak noise, but presumably by now he's taken care of hiza as much as he could]

Mm, I forgot...

[but he'll press another kiss to chuuya's temple anyway]

Why are you so tired today?

w3, monday

[doublesmall]

[Hi, Higekiri, he's just popping right the fuck up yet again!]

Happy new week to you too. Anywhere you want to go check out, or have you gotten a good look at all of it already?

[banzais]

Can you take me to your favorite place?

[that sounds more fun to him]

w3, wednesday

[doublesmall]

[hi, hige... chuuya brings him into the office as he usually does, brow furrowed as he looks him over, checking to see if he looks all right.]

...hey. Come in, make yourself comfortable.

[banzais]

[well, he changed out of his costume, for one. otherwise he drops the smile and seems to be putting his shirt back on. it's more of an aura than an action that gives him away. his usual easy grace that implies that nothing can quite touch him has disappeared, like he's all but been grounded into the earth.

it steals any trace of a smile from his face up until he actually makes eye contact with chuuya - and then he attempts one. it's a good replica of his genuine smile, though it lacks a bit of light]

Mm, thank you.

[a beat]

He's gone, isn't he? To where um... Polly and Carlos are.

[hiza said that he won't believe that dimitri is truly gone until they get confirmation

so hige wants that first]

w3, friday

[doublesmall]

[let's be honest he doesn't bother bringing hige to the office anymore... welcome to the bedroom, again, where chuuya is propped up against a few pillows. there's a glass in his hand, another hovering in the air for higekiri.]

Everyone else holding up all right?

[banzais]

[higekiri will just wander over to join chuuya by the pillows, taking the glass of wine and then rearranging some pillows for himself]

... to the best of their ability.

Though... I found Her Lordship, so thank you for your hint - so that would be about nine of the roles in total now.

w4, monday

[doublesmall]

[as he tends to do sometimes, chuuya is just showing up wherever higekiri is immediately after he sends that photo. why is he like this.

he finds a spot to get comfortable, settling in easily, and flashes higekiri a little grin.]

I don't count for the game, you know... but if there's something you wanted to try, I might not say no to you anyway.

[banzais]

[well it sure is the spare fuck room]

Oh? Are you sure you could say not to me for something like this?

[like plot stuff sure but

hige sure is cocky about how much chuuya likes him

he laughs a little]

I was wondering if you could've been getting lonely - left out of the fun.

w4, saturday

[doublesmall]

[it'll be a while before chuuya comes to find higekiri-- he gives him time first, time to do anything else he might need to do while chuuya meets with others, because his job as host means he can't ignore everyone else for hige's sake.

but he is set on seeing him.

eventually, he'll pop up wherever hige is, though keeping a respectable distance so as not to surprise him into striking (or at least, giving himself a good shot at not being stabbed.)]

...hey.

[banzais]

[higekiri's in the projection room, pulling the cd out of the case that it holds. when chuuya shows up, his shoulders tense.... but he doesn't reach for the hilt of his sword.

his jacket is still bloodied, though.

he doesn't turn to chuuya yet, instead trying to locate the place to put the disc.]

... hello.

w5, monday

[doublesmall]

[what's up, hige. it's the office again... and chuuya's not wearing his hat for once?

it's because of the fluffy fox ears on his head, an equally fluffy tail currently draped around him so that he doesn't sit on it.]

...oh, I should've expected that for you.

[lion ears are cute? they're cute.]

[banzais]

[sure there will be no problem if one predator is encountering another - but higekiri will just look a little amused as he wanders in, tail swishing a bit behind him before he goes to join chuuya wherever he's seated

almost immediately he lets his teeth lightly bite at the fox ears, playfully]

This is funny for you as well.

You're not a youkai in disguise, are you?

w5, sunday

[doublesmall]

[chuuya looks relieved when he yoinks hige into his bedroom, exhaling a sigh and gesturing for him to come sit on the bed.]

Good, I need to talk to you anyway-- come in, sit down.

[banzais]

[higekiri will come to join him, going to sit next to chuu and press a kiss to his cheek]

What is it?

w6, tuesday

[doublesmall]

[as usual, chuuya brings hige to the bedroom rather than the office-- where he then bars the door with a dresser and the smaller desk in this room. that's fine!

beyond looking antsy, though, he seems fine. there's a ribbon around his wrist now, but hige's seen it in the couple days he's been wearing that, probably... closes my eyes about how often they bang.]

I'll be fine. Don't worry about it-- worst case scenario, I should come back, yeah?

[so he forces a little smile, gestures for hige to join him.]

[banzais]

[ . . . well, higekiri will take that invitation, then moving to cup chuuya's cheek in his hand as he presses another kiss to his forehead]

Now, now... For all that you were against my talk of breaking -

I don't think I'm allowed to let you say the same so casually. Even if it is true... I'd rather not see you hurt.

I don't care about much... but I think I care quite a bit about that.
