People are making out in the kitchen

yeah okay, please come over

[messianic]

d(•͈ _•͈ ) I'll be right there.

[survivaltricks]

[Akira is going to be waiting outside of Echidna by the time Minato gets there! he's dressed in his gray stripes-- an outfit he's been using consistently as pajamas since arriving-- because he was definitely winding down for the day]

[but that doesn't mean Minato isn't welcome!!]

[messianic]

[ a tiny smile when he sees Akira!!! ]

Hey... Are you sick of me yet?

[ he's just teasing though, he knows Akira's okay with this or he wouldn't have asked. ]

[survivaltricks]

[flashes Minato a smile and extends a hand towards him]

Absolutely disgusted.

[the way he says that makes it clear it's just a joke; his demeanor is very inviting right now, and he could never get sick of seeing Minato]

[messianic]

[ takes Akira's hand very willingly!! ]

I thought so.

[ said amusedly though. ]

I won't stay too long. I just needed a breather, I think.

[survivaltricks]

[links their hands together and guides him into Echidna]

You can stay as long as you want. I'm not going to kick you out.

[messianic]

I didn't think you would... but you were getting ready to rest, right?

[survivaltricks]

Not really. I'm a night person and we napped earlier today, so I probably won't sleep for another few hours.

I was just getting comfy.

[and then they are in Echidna's common room! he is heading towards his room next]

[messianic]

Okay... that sounds good to me then.

[ wandering along!! hand in hand, casually. It's nice. ]

[survivaltricks]

[it is nice. . . Akira thinks he'll never tire of moments like this]

Ssssso. . . who was making out in the kitchen?

[messianic]

[ alksdlnka. ]

I--I don't know if I should be gossiping about them... though I guess if they were making out in public, they probably don't mind that much...?

[survivaltricks]

[laughs a little as they enter his room, and he immediately moves to sit on the bed]

I guarantee you people are gossiping about us now. But if you'd rather not say, it's okay.

I was just curious.

[messianic]

Well. That's different, you know...?

[ A shrug!! ]

We're dating, so... if they gossip about us, it's just about what we're doing together as boyfriends.

[ ... contemplatively: ]

Are Saturn-san and Vicious-san dating...?

[survivaltricks]

[oh my god of course it was Vicious. Akira must accept be will never have the sexual confidence Vicious has]

Aaaare they?

[he doesn't know!!]

But even if they aren't, that's cute. I didn't realize they were a thing.

[messianic]

I... well.

[ tiny shrug. ]

I think I know more about my teammates' love lives than I was prepared for in some ways.

[survivaltricks]

"Than you were prepared for?"

[flops his head onto his pillow, extending his arms to indicate that Minato should join him]

Well. . . your teammates are pretty affectionate.

[messianic]

Is anyone ever really prepared for knowing who's having sex with who...? Especially the people you're living with?

[ he does willingly flop into Akira's arms though, humming. ]

I'm grateful they're affectionate for sure. It's just been... a learning curve.

[survivaltricks]

[slides his arms around Minato's waist in a loose hug. cuddle time!!]

Learning curve. . .

[there's a moment of silence as Akira mulls these words over in his mind before he speaks again]

. . . does it make you uncomfortable?

[messianic]

[ blandly: ]

I wish they'd stop getting hot and heavy in the cuddle pit, but even the jar won't stop some of them.

[ "Uncomfortable" isn't the right word but... ]

[survivaltricks]

[oh no. it's an actual problem. oh no!!]

Mmmmaybe you guys need to come up with clearer ground rules. . . I mean, that's part of being roommates with people, right?

[messianic]

[ nooooo!!! ]

It makes them all really happy, and--I mean, they're like...they all seem to think it's pretty normal, so.

[ he's the only one being a prude about it?? ]

I'll adjust. It just definitely has taken me off-guard. Everything is so open and relaxed here.

[survivaltricks]

[a small huff]

Things being open and relaxed isn't a bad thing, it's true. It's important that people feel comfortable enough to be themselves-- in all ways. And that includes feeling comfortable enough to go for what they want, regardless of how it might look to "polite society" or whatever.

[MINATO KNOWS HOW AKIRA FEELS ABOUT POLITE SOCIETY, AND THAT IS, FUCK 'EM!!]

. . . hah. . . but I guess I can see why it'd take you so off-guard. We're used to putting on masks to blend in to "polite society" where it matters.

[messianic]

Yeah... I think that's pretty much it.

[ he just shrugs a bit, leaning in to press their foreheads together. ]

... I admire them. The way that they can embrace what makes them happy.

[ it's just!! surprising!! ]
