20k Leagues Under the Sea

[idolpro]

Who: Youse guys
Where: The game tower
When: Day 381, post graduations

[The lobby of the game tower is made up to look as though it's underwater; the walls shimmer with the reflections of waves, and the lights have the faint blue-green tint of sunlight filtered through water]

[Colorful jellyfish made all of paper covered with printed text float by overhead, and schools of brilliantly colored paper fish skitter away from anything that comes close enough to be considered a threat.]

[Careful: there's a paper shark up near the ceiling]

[You may also find yourself mysteriously done up in steampunk attire]

[Near the far wall, there is an open book on a pedestal. The pages are blank. It is titled GUEST BOOK, and a pen waits nearby.]

[Eichi is hardly the type to wail openly, but he does let himself cry. He'd wanted to while laying there on the beach(in the tower), and he'd just postponed it.]

Mmmmh!

[He embraces Tenn, not wanting to voice why he'd gotten so upset, because it's silly! He thinks so, anyway.]

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ he understands, and is not going to make him say anything he doesn't want to say! ]

There we go. It's alright if you cry. You're safe.

[syckophant]

[Eichi nods while continuing to hide his face. He feels a little better just letting it out, at least, and he sniffles, wiping his face before he's able to sit back.]

Mmmhhh... I'll feel better once I'm clean, I think.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ he'll pick up a loofah and start to scrub-a-dub-dub, then ... !! ]

[syckophant]

[Eichi almost immediately feels better. Attention will do wonders for you!]

Mmmh, I feel so spoiled...

[Lucky! His tail wags a little under the water, trying not to interrupt Tenn.]

[heavenlyvisitor]

Good. I like to dote, too, you know...~ ♡

[ scrubby scrubby! between the wings. ]

[syckophant]

It feels nice to be doted upon.

[He makes a mental note to find ways to get Tenn to dote on him. He is a simple Eichi with simple needs.

And it always helps when you get my back.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ Just Ask.

He switches to a second, much more gentle microfiber cloth when he gets to eichi's scaled parts-- lifting his arm up to hold it by the elbow...! ...he wonders if eichi sheds? hes never seen him do it, but they're, like, snake hands, right? does he go and do it in secret because hes embarrassed??? ]

How else am I supposed to take care of my Husband?

they're snands

[syckophant]

[He COULD but it's more fun if he doesn't. Eichi would absolutely feign a cold before he asks Tenn to dote on him outright.

Also he absolutely sheds and hasn't let others see.]

You can always take care of me, if you want to.

I like when you call me your husband, by the way...

[heavenlyvisitor]

Ahh ... 'Fiancé' is too tentative. Less ... whole. It's not an identity so much as a promise, you know... ? And it's not like that promise won't be filled, so-- I'll just skip to the end.

[syckophant]

[Tail wag.]

It's true. It's a promise that will be fulfilled. We will be husbands, so... why not say it?

[He smiles, already feeling much better now.]

[heavenlyvisitor]

My cute husband.

[ picks up some bubbles between his hands... and plonks them on his head!! ]

[syckophant]

[Looking up to try to look at Tenn with the bubbles on his head, giving him a bright smile.]

I suppose I can be cute too, but you're much cuter.

[heavenlyvisitor]

Mm, if you're going to praise me, I won't argue, I suppose, but ... Ah, it's your turn to be the cute one, right now.

[syckophant]

[His smile just widens at that, and he continues wagging his tail.]

Alright, I'll take it for now. I can accept being pampered a bit~

It has helped to calm me down a lot.

[heavenlyvisitor]

Mmm. Good. That makes me happy.

[ He cant help but smile, hearing that he helped Eichi and made him happy. The distance between them isn't a lot (they're in the bath, after all...!), but he closes it - Crawling into Eichi's lap and taking his face in his hands, pressing a tender kiss to his lips. ]

[syckophant]

[Eichi wraps his arms around Tenn, pressing back into the kiss with a hum.]

You're such a blessing to me. [And he nuzzles against Tenn's face with his own, continuing to kiss him a few more times.]

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ he laughs into the kisses- just lightly, hardly enough to break the space between them. ]

Isn't that too much?

[ he doesn't... dislike it, though, having words like that used to describe himself that, this point, he knows are genuine. ]

[syckophant]

[He wiggles his wings a little.]

Too much? Ha! It's meeting an angel in hell too much?

... Truly, I could never describe how good you've been to me, for me. So it almost isn't enough!

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ he doesn't really know how to respond to that - to words so loving and earnest. but ... he also doesn't want to refute it, in the moment. there isn't a part of him that wants to brush those claims away. ...it's very freeing.

he closes his eyes, humming softly and pressing his forehead against eichi's. ]

You're my paradise.

[syckophant]

[Eichi smiles at that, wrapping his arms around Tenn and pressing his forehead back against him, like they could be closer if they only wanted it bad enough.]

Thank you. I love you.
