Post Event

[whatsamada]

Hanamura-san? It's me, Ken.

Narukami-san didn't seem to know me when I first met him. I'm assuming you don't know who I am either, do you?

[Because, you know, you seemed like you knew me the last time we met??]

[garbagecanned]

nah the first time i met u was when we were in the casino

should i have known u

also post-event!

[orphne]

Hi Yosuke! It's Kotone.

I wanted to say thanks again for all your help in the maze. Do you like sweets? I'm baking cupcakes in the club building right now. I'd love to share some with you if you have time!

[garbagecanned]

hey!!!

oh man id love to eat whatever you cooked

[wait.]

u did use a recipe right

slams down hands!!!

[izanagis]

[Yu keeps himself busy, and recently, he has been going full-tilt in this way, trying to avoid downtime as much as possible. It's not just the strange, uncomfortable awkwardness that's settled between him and Yosuke, though that's definitely part of it. But there's this-- it's hard to describe, it's like a tightness in his chest, something dark and impatient that's beginning to make him nervous, when he thinks about it.

So it took him a while to see the marks. They were light, at first, but now they've gone darker, winding up his arms to his shoulders, and he can't help wondering if the two things are related. Especially after what happened with Mikey...

...

He's standing in their shared room now, halfway through putting on his clothes, shirt tossed on the bed as he stands by the mirror with a roll of bandages in his hand. He could try to cover the marks -- he's clearly considering it. But is there any way to make that seem...not suspicious? Not worrisome?

(He should be worried. Logically. But for some reason, that part of his mind is a little foggy...)]

UWOOOOOOOOO

[garbagecanned]

[Yosuke hates it. he hates how awkward everything's been, and even though he'd asked for help on the network, it didn't really help at all. it all honestly came down to what he wanted, and what if he didn't know?

well. he knows. but he's scared of taking the first step.

he'd just gotten out of the shower and into some clean clothes of his own, rubbing a towel through his hair as he walks into their room. it takes him a moment to notice, lost in his thoughts as he is, but then he notices there's definitely something not quite right with Yu. his eyes widen, and he stops in his tracks.]

Yu? What's... what's that stuff on your arm? Are you okay?

putting dumb content in your inbox for valentines day

[izanagis]

[Yu had to work early today, so he did the equivalent of leaving something in someone's shoe locker or something. Meaning: there is a box of chocolates on Yosuke's nightstand. It's small, very neatly packaged in a crisp little box.

Just to make him twist in the wind over it, they are, of course, homemade.]

probs nsfw dont look at my shame ALSO PRE EVENT

[invinciblemikey]

(it's been a while since the two moved in, but it brings a layer of life to the dojo that mikey missed. the place is massive, and it had always been filled by voices, by people, by punches and kicks and-- delinquents, to which category only mikey fills right now. it's fine.

so, he's knocking on what now is yosuke's room.)

Yo, dude. You busy?

[garbagecanned]

[it's kind of weird moving in here, and almost kind of weirder not sharing a room with Yu anymore. but he's not going to mention it, because he doesn't want to make it weird.

he jumps a little as he hears the knock, and is even more surprised at the sound of Mikey's voice.]

Uh... nope! Come in!

[he was just kind of leafing through a book anyway...]

voice; immediately post-event

[izanagis]

[April 1, 6:30 A.M. Yu woke in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar memories, and while he thought he could just make his way back to the dojo and find his partner, when he stepped outside...

Well. Everything is different.

So this'll have to do.]

Hey, Yosuke. [He's trying to sound calm, biting back a faint tremor in his voice.] Where are you?

[garbagecanned]

[it takes his ass a while to respond because he's gotta wake up. and then he's disoriented because not only has he just woken up, but he's got all sorts of memories...

and when he steps outside, he blinks.]

... I'm not in Kansas anymore, I don't think.

[he sounds dumbfounded.]

Where are you?

Text - from her new phone

[killjoyprince]

YOSUKE SENPAI
R U ALRIGHT?

[The most basic check in text. Are you alive sir?]

[garbagecanned]

[at least he's woken up a bit by the time he gets this one.]

FINE STILL HATE THE CAPS THO
U?

[invinciblemikey]

I think the fact I've left the dojo already speaks plenty. I've been losing grip and my shit more and more lately. I'm scared of who I'm becoming, and I'm definitely not pleasant to be around with.

To walk down this path is my own decision. We will not be meeting again.

So, I wish you all to live a happy life, from the bottom of my heart.

And, Yosuke. You have to take care of him. I don't care what it takes.

- Manjiro "Invincible Mikey" Sano.

[garbagecanned]

what the hell kind of message is this
where the hell are you going????
you better answer me!!

midsummer festival, mid-june

[izanagis]

[Yu is savoring every moment of the festival, at this point. After how long things were so hard, he's taking every moment he can to just-- enjoy things. Go with the flow, so to speak. That's his specialty.

... Which is how he ended up here. Here, standing in front of a race officiator with Yosuke at his side. Having just been explained the rules of this particular competition. Having just now, in this very moment, at this very point of the explanation, realized that they are being guided through the rules of a wife-carrying competition.

He glances at Yosuke, wondering if he'll see the epiphany dawn upon the other boy in real-time too.

After a pause,]

So... [this seems to be happening.] Allow me?

[I mean, it just sounds like a no-brainer!!! Right?]

[garbagecanned]

[................ there's a moment where Yosuke definitely realizes where he's ended up. he wasn't really sure what competition they were going to be signing up for, just that he was tagging around with Yu.

he'd thought they'd been up for something dumb like. three legged races. or whatever that one where you jump in the bag was. he'd seen those around... but this one?

this one??]

Me??

[his voice comes out in a squeak as he says it.]

Allow me! Totally!

[he says, absolutely knowing he can't fucking carry Yu anywhere.]

nsfw...sighs and throws them both in the garbage

[izanagis]

[continued from here]

[He's not used to Yosuke being this forward...and he is, maybe, slightly unprepared for the effect it has on him, the shudder of anticipation that has him exhaling softly at the lowered pitch of the other boy's voice. There's something devious in the glint of his expression as he tips his head in the other boy's direction, then stands and offers him a hand up.]

Better go quick, while no one's looking.

LMFAO god how did we end up with two threads Like This

[garbagecanned]

Yeah.

[and Yosuke's going to take Yu's hand to get up, before starting to attempt to lead him off somewhere at a quick pace. moving too quick would gather attention... so he's not going to do it.

but if anyone looks at the mischievous expression on his face... well that'd probably tip them off to the fact that he's up to Something.]

Scott's gonna be so pissed at us if he ever finds out.

[the way he doesn't say Kotone tho, lmfao.]

cw they gon fuck

[invinciblemikey]

(it's not their first time. manjiro knows yosuke is, as much as it is deeply hypocritical for manjiro to call anyone so, incredibly easy when it comes to things like these. he feels the urge with how he's gripping, how the kiss is deepened almost instantly.

he's different, though. he's not one anymore to bait, lure, and then reap the benefits of it afterwards. shedding the leader title has done some good to him, the tiredness he felt from dealing with it all that he only felt comfortable to be dealt with when skin was touching is no longer present. he can breathe easier, and it means he can find strength to take care of others here, too - and go after what he needs, too.

yosuke is getting pulled on top of him almost immediately as he lies down, manjiro not at all wasting time with taking the other's shirt to feel skin. it feels as he remembers, every curve, as he allows his fingers to recall.)

[garbagecanned]

[Yosuke lets Mikey pull him on top of him, letting his hands fall to either side of the other boy's head. at least for a moment, while he re-situates himself. there's something a little different this time that wasn't there the last time -- maybe a closer understanding to one another since the gnos episode. or maybe it's just Yosuke's thinking of it. and another person that accepts him as he is... in Mikey's own way of acceptance. it looks different than Yu's, but he's learned (and still learning) what that looks like.

when he's ready, he starts to slip his hand up under Mikey's shirt as well, feeling the muscles on his torso and the warmth there. Mikey's changed in a couple of ways, but at least this part of him is more familiar.]

[invinciblemikey]

(usually, manjiro showers, even if half-asleep, before meeting his slumber post-Activities. he hates the feeling of stickiness, sweat, gross, that can permeate after - but he's so exhausted that he just doesn't even move thereafter.

instead, he falls asleep just like that, no blanket, no clothes, just a body where manjiro sano used to live, wrapped around yosuke. on the couch. very damn visibly.

the next morning, it's food that gets his interest up. the sweet aroma of coffee, and sugar, and sugar, and sugar (there is probably not that much sugar, he's just very attached to it, maybe it is a dream?)...)

Yos... Wake. Wake up. Food... Need... Food... Shut up.

[izanagis]

[So. There's a lot going on, here.

It's not exactly that Yu is surprised when he wakes early to find them on the couch -- he already knew they had a thing going in the past, and besides, they've all been through a lot recently. They each deal with it in their own time and in their own ways. But the timing is unexpected. No blanket is where they started, but Yu takes care of people somewhat habitually, so they'll find a blanket draped over them.

As for Yu himself, he's quietly made his way to the kitchen. Coffee and eggs were already on his mind, but he's pulled out extra ingredients for hotcakes now that he knows they have company. He doesn't say anything, for now. He'll wait 'til they're up.]

video; un: misscoordinator

[coordinatroll]

[ The video opens to Mitama, though just like in her recent post, she's wearing her "Santa disguise". She's here on an important business, after all.

What? You mean she might still have some unfinished explaining to do from back when Gnosia thing happened? Nope, not addressing that! More importantly... ]

Ho, ho, ho! Thank you for joining our Secret Santa event~ It's time to find out what ─ or rather who ─ your assignment as Santa's Little Helper for this year is! Drumroll, please...

[ She makes a pause for a dramatic effect, her hand slipping into a Santa hat she's holding and pulling out a small piece of paper with a name on it. ]

It's none other than... Caitlyn Kiramman, the sharpshooting sheriff*!

*not her actual job, it just sounds cool

Remember, you should present your assignee with a gift of your choice until December 25th! Good luck, and remember: your main task is to spread joy, happiness and the spirit of Christmas cheer!

Miss Santa Coordinator, out!
