Comments

[tauborn]

Am I supposed to talk to the leader? That's... Roy Mustang, right?

[Actually, Mustang has always seemed to be a very nice person. He probably wouldn't mind talking to him.]

[tuned_wrong]

Right. He's the man with the formal attire and the short black hair over there. [He points in the direction where he just spotted the man.]

It's up to you if you want to talk to him or not. Do you want to just come along or to make it formal?

[tauborn]

[He considers the question, and then shrugs. Being official means he'd go every morning with Aion, and he'd probably get paid to do it, right? But he has no idea what the patrols are really like so maybe he should test it out first...?]

Do you need someone to patrol with?

[tuned_wrong]

Right now I'm on the same shift with Miss Hinata, but we rarely see each other since I prefer to stay up in the air. [He shrugs, giving him a weak smirk.] Do you think you can keep up with that?

[tauborn]

You know I can't fly.

[Though he does have doubts about being able to keep up. He's spent about a week moping and unable to eat or sleep properly. He still doesn't have the kind of strength necessary for running around in the middle of the night. His uncertainty easily shows on his face.]

[tuned_wrong]

[Noticing his partner's troubled air, he tones down on his cockiness.]

I don't do it all the time either. But I like to move over the roofs a lot, you would have to put up with that. [He smiles gently.] That and that my shift goes from midnight to six am. Are you sure that you want to do it?

[tauborn]

[He hesitates a moment longer, and then forces himself to say yes. Even if he doesn't feel quite like his old self (at all), he can still do his best to pretend.]

There's no harm in trying it at least once, right? I'll do it!

[tuned_wrong]

[He laughs and pats him on the back. Aion is still not sure if having Takuto along is a good thing or not, but he does appreciate the willingness of the redhead to take the initiative and be active again. Pretending to be a bit more happy than he is is the least thing that he can do or that.]

That's what I want to hear! Gotta get active and hold your nose in the wind again, right?

[tauborn]

Gotta sing out my youth and reach for the stars!

[Even the slightest bit of encouragement from Aion is helpful. His smile becomes a little more relaxed, and then he bites his lip.]

But can it wait until... [--he does some mental calculations--] Friday? I've... got plans Wednesday night and I won't be any good patrolling unless I get some sleep.

[It would also give him some extra time to try to get his eating and sleeping back on track.]

[tuned_wrong]

[Aion thinks that Takuto'd better watch out that nothing from the stars catches him, but he laughs good-naturedly and goes along with it.]

Sure! What are you planning to do?

[tauborn]

Oh, someone's coming over to the apartment. [He should probably make sure Aion is okay with that, seeing as it's half the demon's apartment, too.]

Do you know someone named Kanji?

[tuned_wrong]

I don't. Is he one of your friends?

[tauborn]

[There's a pause. Before, he would have just said yes. Now... he shakes his head.]

I just met him last night.

[tuned_wrong]

..are you sure this is a good idea?

[tauborn]

The alternative is me trying to change my hair color all by myself.

[The truth is that no, now that Aion mentions it, Takuto isn't sure if it's a good idea. Although Kanji seemed very helpful and very nice--the other boy had an adorable kitten, for crying out loud--it's possible that Kanji isn't really like that at all. And Takuto is inviting him into his home--Aion's home, too.

He's still sure he wants to turn his hair a different color, though.]

[tuned_wrong]

[He lets out a short amused chuckle at the threat.]

Oh the horror! I can leave my communicator on if you'd like.

[tauborn]

[He flushes a little at that, and then shakes his head. He should be able to handle himself, right?]

You'll be at work. I.. I can manage.

[tuned_wrong]

Alright. You can always call me or ask me for anything, no matter what time or how silly you feel it is. You know that, right?

[His voice lowers a bit as he says this - he's not used to having to express this kind of sentiment anymore and has even grown to expect the others of his group to know that already by now, but ..Takuto is new and Chrono has proved how bad that 'just expecting' can end.]

sldkfjls Aion has feels <3 <3 <3

[tauborn]

[His blush intensifies at that, because it's so unusual for Aion to sound so worried about him. Though, not as unusual lately since Takuto started needing so much support.]

O-of course. [After a moment, he smiles lightly but sincerely.] Thank you, though, for reminding me.

he'll deny them >XP

[tuned_wrong]

[His lips twitch lightly as he returns the smile, obviously awkward with how things are turning.]

Just don't mention it. I have a big bad demon image that I'm trying to maintain.

you can't deny them forever

[tauborn]

[Takuto couldn't help a small smile at that, despite the tiny voice in the back of his head reminding him that perhaps there was a reason why he hadn't suspected the Valentine's Day chocolate right away.]

Right. I wouldn't want to ruin your reputation.

no, but another decade may very well be still in >.>

[tuned_wrong]

I hope you wouldn't! I'd have to quit our partnership right away if that were the case!

[and escape in audaciousness we seek! Takuto might have some work to do to get him back to discussing things seriously.]

but Takuto will be 26 by then and much less gullible! you don't want to wait that long!

[tauborn]

N-no you wouldn't!! [He aims a light punch towards the demon's shoulder, because that would be entirely unacceptable! But even though it's all a joke, there's a tiny edge of fear in his voice, because Aion leaving him--for any reason--would be a crushing blow.]

wait for what? c:

[tuned_wrong]

Oh, was that a dare? [He laughs and dodges the playful hit by shoving one of his wings in the way of it, catching it with the soft skin between the bones.]

Not only did my Meister beat me into working with him and regularly abuses me as a pillow, he is even trying to hit me now. I'm going to fill a complaint if you go on like this~. [His teasing complaint would be a whole lot more convincing if he wouldn't be trying to poke Takuto with his tail at the same time.]

s-stop flirting!!! >///<

[tauborn]

No, that was not a dare, stupid!

[He swats at the tail, flushing a bright red at the accusations. He voice turns a little pouty against his will.] And I wouldn't try to hit you if you didn't deserve it!
