[ 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. ]
[ he's about to say yes, but now riou's moving to gather the plates, and itaru figures he'll just give up on trying to antagonize samatoki... for the time being, at least. the air is stiff enough as is -- so he lets riou take the plates and gets up from the table, wandering over to the broken door.
he hasn't actually checked the damage out yet, so out of curiosity... poking at the broken hinge, this really looks like the hulk decided to suddenly come and pay them a visit.
the moonblessings sure work in strange ways... ]
Wow. The sanguis strength stat must be at least A-rank.
[ There's actually still another piece left. This is his second steak now, but he just... shoves everything in his mouth so Riou can clean his plate the same time as his own and Itaru's.
Classy as fuck.
He at least has the decency to talk only after he's drank some water. ]
What. This is your first time seein' someone during Sanguis or somethin'?
[ Riou gives Samatoki a napkin when he picks up his plate, but doesn't say anything otherwise. He just goes to happily clean up after everyone while they talk about Sanguis, chopping up the leftovers so they can be given to the dogs, who are now following at his heel because they know NOW IS THEIR TIME!! ]
anyway, he glances over the door for a little longer, then comes to lean over the counter, looking at samatoki. ]
I guess so. I mean, I've heard of it, but I've never really spent any time around people during Sanguis... I think most of them have an easier time managing it, though.
[ if they haven't, he'd guess there'd be more destruction all around the city? ]
[ Rather bluntly, Riou responds with his personal experience that no one asked for: ]
Jyuto's proven to me that Iris can withstand great physical exertion when the moon is out. [ At least he assumes that Jyuto had never taken anyone before him. And as Samatoki knows orally, Riou not holding back is an Experience. ] Even Itaru may be capable of withstanding being mated by a Sanguis like you during the triple moon with our increased pain tolerance and regeneration.
[ You know, just in case Samatoki wanted to fuck Itaru?? Is this the kind of defense you wanted, Itaru... Riou finishes cleaning up with Samatoki's help while they're talking about this. Please enjoy unpacking all of what he just said, you two. Riou is kneeling down to pet his dogs now as if he didn't just say a whole lot of loaded information. ]
tay loves to make me scream first thing in the morning i guess
[ umm... how did we get here, again? weren't they just talking about fighting people? itaru makes a sound like someone really had punched him in the gut -- dragging his hand over his face as riou continues this... speech... monologue... whatever you call it. #cursed content.
and as he goes over to casually start patting the dogs, itaru buries his head between his elbows, needing a moment. that's... actually pretty useful information, he guesses -- the whole regeneration and pain tolerance thing -- but in this context, it's...
well. if you looked carefully, you'd notice his ears are red. ]
The more you know. [ is all he chokes out, voice a little higher than usual. the power of riou's bluntness... not even he can defend against it? it's an one-hit-ko. +20 to instant murder. ]
[ It starts off an awkward conversation when Riou talks, and Samatoki almost wants to yell at Riou to shut up, but when he looks at Itaru? He imagines Itaru trying to take, hold on, and "withstand", as Riou puts it. His brows furrow and he has to look away as he licks his lips. ]
Never really did anythin' with someone who's Iris before.
