Day 209

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ KNOCK KNOCK FiN!! this visitor is carrying a bunch of boxes. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Opens the door and---!!!

Can he see Izumu around all the boxes?

???????]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ it's probably only three total! but he's also very small, so... he may have to wait for Izumu to stick his head out to the side. ]

Special delivery~! Gonna need someone to sign for these.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Sign, you say? And me without a pen.

[Leans in to kiss Izumu instead.

Will that suffice?

(Also Izumu can't retaliate because his hands are full of boxes mheheheheheheh.)]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he does not seem displeased about this. ]

Sealing it with a kiss? Eh, I'll take it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Moves to take those boxes from Izumu]

Should I ask or be surprised?

[carnivorouscarnival]

Don't get too excited—I bet most of it's gonna end up being for your kids. Dia went nuts in the kitchen, so there's a lot to get rid of... Mainly sweets, but there's some savory stuff in there, too.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Send my compliments to Dia then.

I have not spoken with her in quite some time.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Feels like I don't speak to her much myself these days, honestly. Always off with the hubby.

[ now that the door is open and Intensity has taken his share of the boxes, Izumu will let himself inside. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Setting them on the table for now.]

The two of them doing okay with Whisky gone again?

[carnivorouscarnival]

Probably not. But I wouldn't really know.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Fair point. Okay is hard for most of us to manage.

[And waving him over to join him on the balcony.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

I think "surviving" is where the bar is at.

[ and following him out. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Blue Eyes is curled up her in pet bed. She raises a head and chuffs a greeting at Izumu when he enters, but makes no move to get up as Intensity is already approaching her.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ raises a hand in greeting, also approaching as he follows Intensity's lead. ]

Yo. Sorry to interrupt your nap.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[She'll nose at that hand when Izumu and Intensity get close enough and then spread her wings so they can lean up against her side.

Which Intensity wastes no time in doing, taking Izumu's free hand and dragging him down with him.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he allows that easily and settles down comfortably, leaning up against Intensity's side with Blue Eyes to his back. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He wraps an arm around Izumu's waist, and it's very ...

Comfortable. Nice even.

Too bad Intensity is going to spoil it with an unpleasant conversation.]

Before the last game, I saw that you broadcasted a couple of memories.

[Why was he close enough to see the broadcast? Shhhh. Things Izumu probably doesn't need to know.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ with how close they're pressed up against each other, Intensity can feel Izumu's change in demeanor as he goes from comfortably relaxed to completely tense in an instant. he possibly stops breathing entirely for a moment. ]

. . .



You—saw...?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Maybe wrapping that arm a little tighter around Izumu's waist. Now he knows why people do this to him when he's in danger of bolting]

Yes.

I saw.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ probably a smart move. Izumu is giving off the same energy as a tightly coiled spring, like he might have already bailed off the balcony if Intensity weren't holding him that close.

but since he's not going anywhere, instead he hangs his head and lapses into hysterical, helpless giggling. ]

I see. I see, I see, I see...



Say whatever you want, then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You still want him?

...

Your rival.

[As if he needed to elaborate]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he's not sure what he expected to hear, but that wasn't it, and it shows on his face. ]

... Weren't you watching? I'm the one who ended it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Pretty sure he did when he tried to throw you out like yesterday's garbage.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ a conflicted expression crosses his face at that. somewhere between angry and hurt and uncertain. ]

Either way, it's over.
