[ That explains nothing??? He likes the smell, okay. It's minty and there's some sort of ingredient in it that adds the extra fluff to Samatoki's everyday 'do. ]
If I ever smell my shampoo on your hair, I'm gonna kill you, Itaru!
[ he's so used to samatoki threatening his life by now that this doesn't even phase him. not that he'd care even if he was serious; his existence is by all means miserable and should be ended. samatoki's just a coward?
he glances to riou, then back to samatoki, getting a stupid idea suddenly... and instead of putting on pants and packing like a normal person, he circles around to approach samatoki from the other side, lips curving in a thin smile. ]
Yeah, let us smell it. We have to know which one's yours, and all.
[ Itaru is a problem child who makes Riou believe his strange behavior is valid and teaches him other weirder things, but since Samatoki is okay with it and Itaru is doing it too, this is fine. Riou glances at Itaru as he approaches, then he bends down just a bit to reach the top of Samatoki's head. Samatoki's not that much shorter than him, but it's still enough that he has to lean.
[ he not only validates riou's strange behavior, but also encourages him and follows suit... maybe he's not a good roommate for someone eccentric, but you know what, too late for regrets. it's too late for regrets about sniffing samatoki, too -- riou's already leaning in to get a whiff... of his hair... and itaru's standing on the other side, a little amused and a little curious.
well, whatever.
he grabs onto samatoki's shoulder and tips his head up to press his nose against the soft, white locks on the side of the other's head. ]
Hmm... [ and he lingers there, even after a moment. ] Smells like mint and horniness.
His wolf ears twitch when he feels the presence of the two men invading his personal space. He does his best to stay still, but Itaru's comment gets him to start yelling again. ]
[ because SOMEONE decided to break their whole door down. jerk.
what happens next is enough to get him to forget all about the accusation, though; now, he knows he told riou this is socially acceptable, but... holy shit? that said, if he laughs now, he'll just ruin it, so... it takes all of his Acting Prowess to keep his composure, as he leans forward and licks samatoki's cheek.
I'm good. [ Samatoki seems more confused than normal, which confuses Riou. He looks to Itaru, who also just did it, so... ]
Itaru said this is how people show appreciation and affection for each other.
[ Was he wrong? Riou thought it was odd, but he has been outside of civilian life, in military and jungle life, for like ten years probably since he probably signed up for the military as soon as he was old enough that's my hc until otherwise stated! so he's not up on what the kids do nowadays. He's trusted Itaru. ]
[ samatoki seems confused about riou doing it, but not itaru... maybe he's that kind of a guy? anyway, he watches his face with budding interest, leaning on his shoulder in a relaxed manner. ]
Well, I forgot to mention our worlds might differ. Or rather, I forgot to even consider it, really. [ he peeks over to riou, who looks a little confused.
ugh... he wants to reach over and pet him... ] I guess it might not be customary where you come from, but it is where I come from.
[ Hm.. Riou did something weird then.. he looks down a little bit, like he's considering his actions. Maybe he should just ask Samatoki before he does anything. He doesn't want to overstep. ]
It was my mistake. Cultural differences are a challenge.
[ riou looks so sad... meanwhile itaru's just kind of amused samatoki takes his explanation as a face value. he lets go of the other's shoulder and steps back, shrugging. ]
[ since samatoki doesn't want his tail grabbed, itaru wants to grab his tail as of right now.
thankfully for him, though, he's already gone to pack his stuff; he's not taking many clothes or a lot of personal items, but he is taking all of his electronics. it's necessary, ok. ]
Riou-san can take my stuff. You'd probably break my gaming shit, Sama-chan. [ judging by the door...
he wonders if he should take his PC. a laptop should be enough just for a little while... he doesn't like gaming on it that much, but in desperate times, it's what's most comfortable. so he grabs his laptop bag and shoves it in, alongside the charger, grabbing a hold of a separate bag for his handheld, vr set and all remaining chargers. listen. ]
[ Riou fed Samatoki, after all! And he also destroyed his door, so he'll help out in what he can.
They'll probably be done and find Samatoki fixing Riou's cupboards. He has an apron on now and his tail is slowly wagging as he hums a tune. (What a housewife...) ]
[ Riou just loads everything up. He's going to make one trip, so once he gets his stuff, he takes Itaru's stuff.
While he waits for Itaru to finish gathering what he wants, he watches Samatoki's tail wagging through the door. Once they're ready to go, he calls Smith and Wesson and heads toward the door. ]
[ it doesn't take long; he only grabs the necessities, and he's quick to follow after riou, peeking around him to watch samatoki clean. the tail... it's begging to be pulled?
[ Alright, then! He's almost done fixing Riou's cupboard, anyway. He takes off the apron and hangs it by the fridge after that, then is the first one out the door.
Because it's his apartment, he doesn't need to break the door to get in. He just slams his hand on a panel outside his apartment and the door clicks open. Samatoki enters and looks around for a place where they can place their things... ]
[ He didn't need to break Riou's door to get in either, but here they are.
Anyway, Riou can't pull Samatoki's tail because he's carrying all the things, so if anyone's going to it'll be Itaru. Riou is going to focus on putting things down. He does dump his own things, but carefully sets Itaru's down on the floor next to the couch. Electronics shouldn't just be dumped on the couch...
Smith and Wesson, of course, come piling in behind Itaru. Smith skids right between his legs before turning to go find Bones wherever Bones is, and Wesson politely goes around Itaru to do the same. ]
[ samatoki does unnecessary things, the life-long drama.
he's tempted to beeline straight for samatoki's tail, sure, but... he makes sure his electronics are fine, first. riou's thankfully very gentle with his stuff, though -- everything survives in pristine condition, and itaru can stop fussing over it like it's been a four mile trip and not a walk across the hallway.
now that this is done, though, he gets a good look around samatoki's apartment. it's the first time he sees it, so he's curious -- does this look like a bachelor pad? ]
... smells like cigarettes. [ is the first thing he notices. ]
[ Samatoki likes to keep a simple life. His apartment is mostly black and white, save for the floor which is brown wood. It's bare— there's a couch where a coach should be, a table where a table should be, et cetera. Just the necessary furniture for condo living. He doesn't personalise, either. It's not like he'll be living here forever.
And yes, it does smell like cigarettes.
Bones comes out of Samatoki's room to greet their visitors. If they check his bedroom, would seem a little more lived in. There's a TV there, and some other stuff like guns (oh no) and knives.
Anyway, ]
This is Bones. She's siblings with Smith and Wesson.
[ That's to Itaru, at least. Riou already knows Bones!! ]

Sure you will.

As if you smell any better! Riou, tell 'im!
[ Tell Itaru that he smells horny too, ig??? ]
no subject
Either way, Samatoki told him to do a thing so he's going to do a thing. ]
You don't smell any better, Itaru.
[ He's going to lick the side of Samatoki's forehead now as thanks for letting him smell. He's showing affection. You can thank Itaru for this one. ]

Thanks, Sama-chan.

You guys some kinda dog-humans or somethin'? That sounds weird as hell to me.

Don't worry, Riou-san; Sama-chan doesn't mind, right?
[ anyway are they gonna just stand here forever like this... if someone passed by the broken door, they sure heard some weird stuff. ]
no subject
Whatever. Just don't grab my tail.
[ ... That makes him horny, ok!!! ]
You need me to help bring anything to my place or what?
no subject
I can carry my things. Let's go pack, Itaru.
[ Riou's just going to grab a change of clothes and his dogs' stuff and his sleeping bag and hygiene stuff. ]

Is your door unlocked, Sama-chan?
