w1 is this wednesday

[doublesmall]

[The next time Nikkari steps through a door, it leads into a lavish office. At the far end of the room there's a large desk flanked by several bookshelves; the floor is marble tile covered in a giant, expensive-looking rug, and one wall is completely windowed. Chuuya's seated in one of the three plush chairs near the window, gesturing for Nikkari to join him as he enters.]

Hey. What can I do for you?

i. sure. it is now

[uncleanse]

[ if this hadn't happened when he'd visited nathan the other day, he'd probably be a lot more confused... but like, this is already off to a much better start, because he actually likes chuuya and also didn't kiss the ground as soon as he walks through the door.

as he makes his way over to the other side of the room, he walks right up to the chair that chuuya's sitting in, then bends forward to meet him at eye level. ]

Hm... I can think of a few things. How far are you willing to go, Chuuya-san?

also 2/2

[uncleanse]

[ ... then he pulls back again and laughs as he politely takes a seat. ]

Just kidding. Perhaps I just missed you?

[doublesmall]

Oh, come on. You can't lead in like that with no payoff-- or did you just show up to tease me?

[let's be real. if nikkari hadn't pulled away chuuya would have had a hand in his hair to keep him from it... but as it is, he lets him take a seat, reclining in his own chair with his chin propped in his palm.]

[uncleanse]

It's a secret.

[ that's it! that's all he's gonna say on that matter! he moves on from the matter quickly enough as he takes in the room, lowering his gaze to the chair he's sitting in as he runs his hand against the plush fabric. ]

I suppose this is a familiar place from your home? It's quite impressive, very classy, and rather sizable... [ he pauses to look up innocently ] I'm talking about the room, of course.

W1, SATURDAY

[doublesmall]

[after receiving that photo, chuuya... actually just sort of pops up wherever nikkari happens to be? he waits a couple minutes so he can put his clothes back on, at least, but hello. he's here now, looking a little concerned.]

...long day, wasn't it.

[uncleanse]

[ even if chuuya waits, nikkari isn't going to dress back up. the closest he gets is draping his cloth over his shoulders, loosely wrapping it around himself like a shawl.

he turns when he hears chuuya's voice behind him, and meets him with a soft laugh. ]

Oh? I wasn't aware you made house calls.

[doublesmall]

I can if I feel like it.

[chuuya's just going to go ahead and find a spot to settle in, making himself comfortable.]

Holding up all right?

[uncleanse]

[ ... he lets out another laugh at that, quiet and humorless. ]

I'm not sure what sort of answer you're expecting of me, Chuuya-san.

w2, friday

[doublesmall]

[When he pulls Nikkari into his office space over an hour after the horny incident, Chuuya... isn't looking much better, actually. He's slumped in one of his fancy chairs with his head in one hand, one leg crossed over the other; his foot bounces restlessly against his knee.]

...hey. How's the leg?

[uncleanse]

[ it isn't as sore as it was when edelgard first dropped the shelf on it. what hurts a little more is his shoulder, which he's holding a makeshift ice pack to. ]

Annoying, but I suppose I should be thankful it wasn't any more serious than it was. [ he sighs. ] I'm just used to repairs healing my body much faster than this.

[doublesmall]

One of the downsides of being human.

[he shifts position with a faint wince, there, swapping so his other leg is the one crossed, before giving nikkari a slightly worried look.]

-you're sure you're okay?

[uncleanse]

I wouldn't be a very good weapon if a single shelf took me down, would I?

[ ... though chuuya will find that his expression is mirrored on nikkari's face. ]

I hardly think you're in a position to be asking that sort of question yourself. You know what happened to me—what about you?

w3, monday

[doublesmall]

[he'll give nikkari a little time in case he wants to put his clothes back on (or not? HAHA UNLESS....) before chuuya just shows right up wherever he happens to be. looks like he felt like going on a field trip, rather than holding meetings in his office.]

Hey. Good thing it's a new week, huh-- even I was getting tired of dodging people, and I only see them when I'm doing my job.

[uncleanse]

[ i mean. at this point, it's up to chuuya whether or not he wants nikkari to put his clothes back on or not, because he's absolutely still wearing that disastrous combo i put together earlier. as it is, he's in the process of pulling his sheer top back on when chuuya shows up, and while he isn't as shocked as he was the first time it happened... it's still weird when someone just teleports to you!! ]

Have all of you gotten bored of your "offices" already?

[doublesmall]

I like to get out and stretch my legs a little, you know. What the fuck are you wearing?

[he's just squinting distastefully at this entire combination... nikkari? why? this does not look like fashion to bougie mafia boy.]

[uncleanse]

I was feeling bold enough to experiment with things I've never tried before, I suppose.

[ beat, as he looks down at himself ]

I'm talking about my clothes, of course.

w4, saturday

[doublesmall]

[he'll come to where nikkari is, even if the chair's got him somewhat more mobile-- chuuya is already tipsy, and definitely doesn't look very satisfied. he just finds somewhere to sit down heavily, exhaling a sigh.]

...fuck.

[uncleanse]

[ probably because of his dumbass stunt with giving kneemon (knee demon) a proverbial fuck you, nikkari has probably retired early to tonbo's room for the night. as cordial as things are between him and edelgard, it only seemed to make sense once they'd realized tonbo's had the room to himself for a while.

he's lying in bed, going through some loose pieces of paper—notes, from the look of them—when chuuya arrives. while he's been trying to get better about being serious, especially in a time like this where the stakes have gotten so much higher... ]

I'm afraid I'm not in the mood tonight, Chuuya-san.

[ you know what they say about old habits. ]

[doublesmall]

[...this time he's in a better mood for it, somehow-- he huffs out a slightly surprised laugh, shaking his head.]

Yeah. Neither am I.

[he's sitting on the edge of the bed, though after a moment he's lying down as well, arms folded behind his head.]

Think most of us won't be.

[uncleanse]

[ he lets out a soft laugh himself when chuuya flops onto the bed. he'll allow it. ]

Oh? If only "most," then who do you expect to relieve their stress in the bed of another?

w5, friday

[doublesmall]

[nikkari gets pulled to the bedroom the next time he steps through a door, where chuuya's sprawled out on the bed, loosely holding on to a pillow.]

...hey.

[a pause, and-]

If you brought the snake I honestly have no idea what'd be a safe place to put her, in here.

[uncleanse]

[ it's a good thing nikkari went back to his room right after he finished investigating to snap a nude, because it's as he's heading back out after a quick nap and dropoff that he finds himself in chuuya's room. hewwo. ]

Haha... don't worry, I left Shuuko-chan with Tonbo-san. Fortunately, they've taken a liking to each other as well. [ he flicks his tail with a coy smile. ] Do you really think I would have brought her along after I had just sent you a message? I know how these meetings work by now, Chuuya-san.

[doublesmall]

I figured, but hey. You never know.

[he gestures for nikkari to join him, managing a slight smile.]

[uncleanse]

Hm... whatever could you be asking for, I wonder?

[ he's totally playing dumb, of course, they're in his fuckin bedroom, he knows what's happening here. he slowly walks over to the bed on purpose, making a show of unraveling the yukata he was wearing in the picture he'd sent chuuya. yes he changed right after inves just for a fuck appointment, don't judge him. ]
