[ he's got no idea how the sanguis thing works so?? he figures it's mostly a matter of having super strength, or something...
anyway, clearly, they're both hungry, because food keeps getting brought up. steak? for breakfast? deranged, but what can itaru do? with a small groan, he drags himself out of the room, finally, not bothering to change out of his sleeping clothes. which is probably like... one of riou's stolen shirts and boxers. ]
Isn't it too early for so much meat? [ he asks, dropping down on the couch. ] Also, that's great, but I'm still not camping in winter. I'm a sickly kid, see? [ he'll catch a cold!! ] Sama-chan can pay for the hotel expenses, since he won't let us stay at his place.
[ Samatoki lets out a grumble as he grabs the french press and heads to Riou's dining. Hopefully he doesn't step on any traps... He's also checking Itaru out when he passes by. I'm so sorry. ]
Meat's good. I get really hungry when it's Sanguis. [ He doesn't mention the history between him, Riou, and steaks, though... ] Both of you can stay at my place if Riou won't let me fix the door. Just not while it's Sanguis.
[ Once he's taken a seat and is ready for food, he admits: ]
[ Riou listens to Samatoki quietly. He doesn't think that Itaru quite understands. Being Sanguis is a whole other beast. He remembers. And so he fills in the blanks. ]
I used to be Sanguis. It's not the same as our heat during Iris; Sanguis desire comes with an urge to take and subjugate.
[ A beat. ] There are eggs and hashbrowns too, you don't have to eat the steak. Samatoki, I'll trust you to fix the door.
[ It's not that he doesn't want Samatoki to do it, he just wanted the excuse to go camping... but Itaru doesn't want to go and Samatoki seems to want him to stay too.. Riou goes to serve the food for now instead, and brings Samatoki's to the table. He won't step on any traps- Riou disabled them since he knew he was coming over. He scoops some onto a plate for Itaru too and brings it over on a TV tray. It seems like the boy is staying up for now, so he should eat properly. He grabs coffee mugs for all of them as well, then comes to sit down with his own plate last. ]
[ he's welcome to look at itaru's skinny ass legs dw ]
Huuh... guess Sama-chan really turns into a wolf. [ the tail and the ears are cute. dog-like. he resist the urge to tease him about it more, and turns to riou, humming at the explanation. well, that makes sense; riou's got first-hand experience with it, whereas itaru hasn't had the chance to properly learn just yet.
anyway, he's functioned on less sleep than this, so it's fine. he accepts the tray from riou and offers him a small smile, taking the coffee too. ]
Thaanks ~ [ samatoki's admittance sure does make him want to spit this all out to snort...
what are you even supposed to say to that? 'sorry for your loss'? no, that's not it. samatoki wishes it was his loss... the loss of his boner. SLAPS KNEE ]
That sure explains why you broke the door. [ IT DOESN'T ] Wait, did you come to ask Riou for relief? Did I interrupt something? Sorry, sorry.
[ It's Samatoki who almost spits out his coffee. Fortunately's in the middle of pouring the coffee into a cup that he only spills a little. Were he drinking already, then Itaru would get wet.
Because Samatoki would have spat at his face... ]
It ain't like that! [ But why is Samatoki blushing like a young maiden? His eyes dart over to meet Riou's, wondering if Riou feels as embarrassed that someone is thinking that of them... There were instances where they sought each other for relief, but this is not one of those times!!!! GOSH!!!!!! ] Riou said he made breakfast, so I came over!
[ Samatoki's getting all worked up for the both of them, though Riou does give Itaru a firm stare and a shake of the head. He'll correct him. Just here for breakfast! Though then he looks at Samatoki as if he has something very important to tell him. ]
Samatoki, everyone on this floor but you is Iris. [ Everyone Riou knows anyway. Samatoki is literally the only alpha dog around. ] If you need it, let us know. We're all in this together.
[ Jyuto and Itaru maybe just got volunteered, though obviously he won't.. make them do anything with Samatoki. But Riou's cool with it. Which all parties he is referring to are well aware of at this point in some form or another. ]
After breakfast. You shouldn't let it get cold. [ And with an itadakimasu, Riou is getting started on his. It's so late because of the bunny fiasco, he normally would've eaten a while ago. ]
[ he's not sure what's funnier -- samatoki's embarrassment, or his expectant look towards riou, as if riou would ever get as flustered as him... well. he's having fun either way, although he does shut up when riou gives him a stern stare, digging into his hashbrowns instead.
he's in the middle of chewing a hashbrown when riou just kinda... offers him up, though, almost choking on it. ]
Yeah, tell us all about your horny problems after you eat your food. [ is his voice a little high pitched? must be the shock.
then again, after considering it for a moment, he figures this kind of... casual approach is normal, around here. they all have horny problems... just at different times of the month. in a way, they truly are... all in this together... (insert samatoki's high school musical dream sequence here.) ]
... so does that mean we can crash at Sama-chan's?
[ HE'S NOT TELLING ANYONE ABOUT HIS HORNY PROBLEMS!!! They'll probably figure it out later on their own when Samatoki's leg is shaking up and down like he's antsy or when he's checking everyone out or whatever. He just wants to fuck................
He's also in the middle of eating a large chunk of steal when Itaru goes on to push the idea at staying at his place again. Man, he'd been trying to tell them that they can't because he's gonna want to bang them, but if neither of them seem against it, then he shouldn't, either. ]
Bring a damn mattress if don't wanna sleep on the floor.
[ Bones has her own bed, so she won't be bothering any visitors. ]
[ Speaking of dogs, they're both like, at Samatoki's heels. They know Riou doesn't give into begging, they have to see who will give them attention. Didn't you miss them Samatoki?? Won't you share your steak??? If he ignores them for too long, Smith will let out a bark just to let him know that they're there. ]
I have an extra sleeping bag you can borrow, Itaru.
[ It's decided then. They'll stay with Samatoki unless Samatoki can fix the door by the end of the day. It sounds fun (even if he wanted to go camping). ]
[ consider his sigh one of relief... to begin with, going anywhere even for a day or two would mean he'd have to pack all of his electronics, and find a new, good source of wi-fi, and if riou took him camping, he'd really just die, so this is the best solution. samatoki's close, so no excessive moving needed, and he's got all of his shit on the spot.
anyway, itaru doubts samatoki can fix anything in his current state, considering anything he touches just kind of falls apart, so -- maybe he should wait with an attempt, unless he wants to just... destroy the whole wall or something... ]
Cool. [ is all he says, biting into another hashbrown as the dogs begin to bark at samatoki.
shouldn't they like recognize him as the alpha... or maybe he's the bottom of the food chain... itaru wouldn't be surprised... ]
[ He's once again interrupted from partaking of his meal. It's fine. It's the dogs. Samatoki even smiles when he realises Smith and Wesson so close, wanting and needing his attention. (Also? He's totally the alpha!) ]
Riou, you give 'em food off the table or what?
[ It's Riou's place, so it's his rules. Samatoki may have taken care of the puppies while Riou was away, but they're not his dogs! ]
[ he glances down at the dogs, finishing his meal quickly. he doesn't eat much, and he's still a little sleepy, so a few hashbrowns are more than enough -- after which he leans back in his seat, bringing one leg up on it, and leans down to start playing with the dogs absentmindedly. ]
No use in begging. Your dad's too strict, and Sama-chan's got no say in anything. [ but at least they'll get pets...
and they can have the rest of his food, only after the other two finish eating, though. ]
[ Definitely not feeding the doggies, then! He doesn't apologise to them or anything, just shrugging his shoulders with a nonchalant look on his face. ]
You guys get food later. Probably.
[ Looks like Itaru isn't eating much, after all. But to be honest, Samatoki could wolf those steaks down... just give him the day. It'd be a waste to not eat what Riou cooked, you know? The guy is always happy when he's feeding people. ]
You guys ever wanna just... fight someone? [ PROBABLY NOT... Itaru looks like he'd snap in half if he tried to punch someone. It'd backfire. Riou, on the other hand... He just seems too nice to randomly punch a dude. ]
Jakurai and I are going to train together sometime. I don't think we'll fight how you mean, but I want to wrestle him.
[ Does that count?? It's not quite as hair-trigger as Samatoki's decision to fight someone, but he definitely understands the want to assert himself and get a good bout of exercise in with someone who's at your level. Trying to wrestle Itaru or Samatoki would have an obvious result- there'd be no sport in it.
The dogs are contented with Itaru's attention at least. Smith stays over with him, sat squarely on the foot that Itaru didn't lift as he tries to catch his hand with his mouth in play. Wesson heads back over to Samatoki to lay under his chair. ]
[ hell no. to begin with, he's got no athletic ability to speak of -- which has been the bane of his existence for a long while, actually. and even if he had a shred of athleticism, and didn't run out of breath by just taking a few steps too fast, he doesn't even know how to fight, so... that wouldn't go over well.
sure, everyone's got an urge to punch someone sometimes, but he's learned there are easier ways to settle things. ]
Why bother? Just pvp them in game. [ is his final answer. ] Sama-chan needs to stop being so rowdy, before someone kicks his ass for real.
[ he continues to prod at smith with his fingers, a small smile on his face, as they finish their food. ]
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if someone already has. Any embarrassing stories, Riou?
[ Cue Samatoki thinking about Riou and Jakurai shirtless, rolling around on the ground. What a weird mental image...
He wants to ask about the IRL and PVP thing— he understands, but he can't believe he heard those out loud coming from an actual person. Then again, Itaru is a gremlin? His attention immediately zeroes in on the embarrassing stories, though. Samatoki doesn't have any, he thinks. Brawls, he's always won. The only rap battles he's lost were against Matenrou, and the one-on-one with Sasara, and another one-on-one with Ramuda (that we know, anyway)... Besides, defeat is something that makes him stronger; something that teaches him a lesson. ]
Losing ain't embarrassin'.
[ He finishes one steak, shoving a big piece into his mouth. Good, good. 😌 Sage nods. ]
[ Riou can hack, but he doesn't really play games. It's just not his thing. Unless King Records screws me. So sometimes what Itaru says just sounds like nonsense. He knows IRL at least, but PVP he will look up later. ]
Samatoki's right. A loss is an opportunity to reassess your skills and come back stronger. His losses are my losses.
[ There's a reason Riou gets along so well with Samatoki and Jyuto and it's because he believes a lot of the same things that they do.. even if Samatoki didn't say it out loud, that's the same thing he's thinking. ]
[ surprisingly thoughtful, coming from samatoki? consider itaru genuinely impressed, as he glances up at the other devouring his steak. ... it's still deranged to be eating this kind of heavy food this early in the day... but that's none of his business. ]
Wrong. If you lose too much, you lose rank, and having a shitty rank is embarrassing.
[ because they'll definitely know what the fuck he's talking about... ]
Jk, jk. I'm impressed you guys aren't sore losers, y'know?
[ Samatoki's a sore loser when it comes to one person (Ichiro), but other than that? He's pretty mature when it comes to dealing with loss. It's aggravating, of course, but it just means he wasn't strong enough. Losing to Matenrou... those guys deserved to win. Their rap was charismatic, as weird as DOPPO's verses might be. If they lost to Buster Bros!! or Fling Posse... that might be a different story.
He's not quite sure what Itaru means, but he knows what holding rank is all about. ]
I was removed from the military after a particular loss, you're correct.
[ Thanks for calling losing your rank embarrassing, Itaru. :') ]
Do I act any less like a soldier to you because of it? Loss doesn't change who you are unless you let it.
[ He's still a soldier at heart, he thinks, and that's what's important. Even if he's no longer got the authority of his rank, he still feels it in him. He's still allowed to wear his uniform. Riou closes his eyes as he finishes up his breakfast. ]
[ uh oh... might've hit a nerve. these guys are taking this whole pvp ranking comparison too seriously? anyway, he really doesn't like when riou makes that face, so it's time to backpedal. hard. ]
I mean, it doesn't really matter irl, right? It's just a game thing. It's different outside of it.
[ he raises both arms, defensively. ]
Your circumstances are nothing like losing pvp rank, I'm sure. Anyway, you're... a strong person, for not letting that get to you. I can't say the same about myself.
[ he totally let loss get to him, repeatedly. it made him turn his life into a convoluted lie, and -- well, it's kind of a mess. caring so much about game prestige only really stems from the fact that he can't quite do the same in real life; winning is reserved for the strong, after all. ]
This is depressing. Let's go back to talking about Sama-chan's unfortunate boner.
[ Hmm... For someone who doesn't seem like he cares about much, Itaru's got more to him than what he projects. Unfortunately, Samatoki isn't that great at conversation. Besides, it's not like he's close friends with Itaru. The other man doesn't have his loyalty, and so's the other way around. Samatoki doesn't have to try and dig deep and get to know him better.
Not yet, anyway. It'll change once they start living together for a day or two. ]
Do I look like some kind of comic relief to you? Shut up and finish the food on your plate.
[ Ah... That's what you get for being a dick, Itaru. You get big bro'd. ]

[ 100% matter of fact, please enjoy him not explaining that to Itaru, who likely has no idea why the steak is so important.
