[ 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!! ]
[ Riou would greet Bones, but he is busy. Once Itaru has done his fussing, Riou gets to setting things up. He actually knows how to do a lot of the hard computer work surprisingly, like networking and hacking and so on so setting up Itaru's stuff is nbd. And if Itaru is distracted by the dogs it's easier to not have him fussing over his stuff so Riou can set it up in peace.
Smith and Wesson, on the other hand, come barreling toward Bones to play and follow her around if she goes to greet Itaru like little excited beans. They want!! TO PLAY!! WITH THEIR SISTER!!!!!! ]
[ he's not sure what he expected, actually. more of a bachelor pad, maybe, but samatoki does seem to keep things neat, at least - his housewife tendencies apparently shine through even when he's alone...
anyway, why the hell does samatoki keep knives and guns in his bedroom WTF?? ]
Ah, cute. [ he smiles, leaning down to give the new puppy a few pets. soon enough, smith and wesson barrel through his legs to greet her too, though, and he straightens up, glancing over his shoulder at what riou's doing.
angel?? ] Thanks, Riou-san.
[ he trusts him to set things up properly, so he's not gonna fuss too much. instead, he follows after samatoki and peeks into his bedroom like a nosy bitch, grimacing at the sight. ]
Do you sleep with these? [ he means the weapons. ]
[ While Riou is getting settled, Samatoki actually... follows Itaru around to make sure his apartment doesn't catch on fire. He doesn't trust him!!! Not yet, anyway. >:T The guy annoys him so often, after all...
He looks back at Bones who's so happy to be with her siblings, then checks back in his bedroom. Itaru's. . . peering in. Not really an invasion of privacy when his door's cracked open, and it's not really a big deal if Itaru sees the stuff in there. ]
I ain't a fuckin' psycho. I keep 'em in my closet. They're just out right now 'cause I was cleanin' em earlier.
[ Anyway. It's not like Itaru's gonna start playing with the knives. He heads to the kitchen to grab something to drink. ]
[ Riou finishes setting up pretty quickly. There's nothing too complicated here, and he connects everything to the internet properly. He looks over his shoulder at Samatoki when he asks about coffee though, giving a nod. ]
Aa.
[ A positive sound. :) He loves coffee. He should really try his hand at his own tree here, but an apartment doesn't really have the gardening capacity for a whole ass tree... Maybe he'll just plant it somewhere on public property and hopefully no one will question it.
Either way, once he's done setting up Itaru's things, he goes about setting up his own little mini-camp in the corner of the room with his sleeping bag and a few essentials... ]
[ 'i ain't a psycho,' says a guy with a closet full of weapons. itaru squints, and then backs off, not really keen on continuing the subject. he knows riou's fond of weapons, too, but somehow, he's more trustworthy than samatoki... who knows when he'd fire a gun just because he got pissed off???
he joins riou, then, glancing over at the setup. everything seems fine, so no need to fuss. ]
Sama-chan, you're such a child. [ petty... but whatever!! samatoki can be a bad host if he wants, itaru doesn't care.
[ Look! If Itaru wants coffee, he's gonna have to ask for it! >:(
Samatoki has to tie his hair back (HEH...) once he's in the kitchen, and he puts on an apron. It's just coffee, but Samatoki likes to prepare things properly! In a few minutes, the whole apartment begins to smell like coffee beans. Yummy. :9 ]
[ As the coffee smell starts to permeate, Riou starts to look a little excited. Or at least, he feels like he is. He's standing up even straighter somehow and his eyes are on the kitchen now. ]
What roast is it?
[ Riou does notice Itaru inspecting his work though, and he's not like 100% sure if there are any specialty things with games that he missed, so he glances over at him. He's happy to learn if he missed something. ]
he glances at riou first, nodding with a small smile. ]
Yup. Riou-san's dependable as always. [ he didn't spot anything off, even if he were to nitpick -- which he doesn't, instead moving towards the coffee smell and samatoki. he didn't want coffee, initially, but actually...
he is kind of tired. samatoki woke him up, and he hasn't woken up completely yet, so it'd be nice. ]
Sama-chan, make me one too, 'kay? Pretty please. [ there, he's even going to be polite about it, sitting at the kitchen table. ]
[ Good! He likes the polite ones, even if he's being called Sama-chan right now and not Samatoki-sama. ]
I'm tryin' out somethin' medium dark for now. I found it in the farmer's market. Then I'm gonna mix it some more and make it frothy.
[ He's trying out new kinds of coffee to make for the cafe while he's at home. It's a fun exercise! ]
And yeah, yeah— [ ... guess he'll get another mug for Itaru, too! He has three in his apartment, one for him, Riou, and Jyuto. Now though. . . He calls Itaru over and waves a tall juice glass at him.] Ah, I don't got an extra mug. . . You okay with just a glass?
[ Riou goes over to his camping things and pulls out like, four stacked double-insulated aluminum camping mugs.
I mean his perfectly normal things that he brought over to Samatoki's to sleep on the floor with because Riou definitely didn't bring camping gear over ahahaha ]
[ ... before he can answer (sure, whatever, a container is a container) riou's already on it, offering one of his camping mugs, because of course he brought them along.
itaru laughs, quick and fond, moving over to take one of the mugs riou's pulled out and haul it over to the kitchen. ]
Riou-san's prepared for every eventuality, huh? Thank you. ~ [ he sets it on the countertop, watching samatoki work. is this the iced coffee that's been going around social media? the one you serve over milk and ice?
... now he's curious, peeking at what the other's doing. ]
[ It is not, however, the frothy iced coffee that's all the craze right now (It's not worth the effort by the way), but something similar to it! It's still hot coffee with lots of milk and a thicker and more bitter froth. Once he's got it made, he starts to pour a cup for Riou. Milk first, and then the foam, which he even decorates because he's hardcore like that. He does his own next, and then Itaru's last. ]
[ He's got a variety of things, all carefully packed. He's only getting out the mugs though, since that's all he needs right now. He zips his pack back up and comes over to get his hardcore coffee.
Riou is glad that it's hot. He's not really an iced coffee fan as much as he is a regular cup of joe. He's surprised by the design though. ]
You learned to do this kind of thing at the coffee shop?
[ Impressive. He's gonna sip though, so it's not gonna last long. The skull's teeth are super long after the first sip since they got dragged... ]
[ yeah, now it feels like a morning -- with the smell of coffee so prominent in the air, it's hard to think otherwise. he takes a seat at the kitchen table and hums a short thanks when samatoki finishes, glancing down at the decoration.
... of course.
he's not gonna say anything, though, instead taking a careful sip to see if it's as good as samatoki acts. ]
Ah... This must be Sama-chan's hidden skill. [ it is. ]
Yeah. The boss lady's pretty scary with the kind of coffee she wants served. She wanted me to make cats and dogs from the foam! There was even a time she made me make a frog!
[ Samatoki likes his work despite this. It's a huge difference from what he does in Yokohama, but he's not at all ashamed of it. ]
Why do you wanna make your drink cute, anyway? I don't get it.
[ he hums, a little thoughtful. he genuinely believed samatoki and his crew just did odd jobs all the time? but, maybe that's not sustainable enough... he's not sure. either way, the idea of samatoki making cute cats and dogs out of foam is funny, at least. ill-fitted, but... cute... ]
Hmm... dunno, I usually don't ask for decorations. I figure girls and kids would be into that sort of stuff, tho. For the gram.
Oh. [ Riou... Riou is happy. Samatoki looks away and scratches the back of his head with his free hand. THIS IS SO UNCOOL, MAN. WHY CAN'T YOU SHUT UP??? ] Y- Yeah... Glad you enjoy it, Riou.
[ Samatoki's not really sure what to say after that. Why does Riou have to ruin his icy composure? ]
... the cafe's near the school, so a buncha kids order and take pictures all the time. S'why I gotta be good at it, 'cause there's a lotta people comin' in and orderin' all kinds of weird shit.
[ Sorry Samatoki. He didn't get the memo that he was supposed to be cool in front of Itaru. He lives with him, it would be an impossible challenge. ]
I should stop by. I've been told I should post more food on Prismagram.
[ ..His own food, but. You know. Samatoki could get a special feature. Riou doesn't usually think about this stuff until after he eats though and then realizes he forgot.. ]
