Day 386 | Close to Kazuki | Gonna get NSFW in here
[Everything has basically been the same ever since they came back from the kiosk three days ago. Nothing had to change until they wanted it to - until they ready for it to change. So Kazuki keeps going to work and Soushi keeps going to the library every day. They sometimes have lunch together and always come back to the apartment for dinner. Typically they get in bed at the same time each night though Soushi doesn't always go to sleep right away.

The only real difference is the addition of the blue bands wrapped around their wrist. Something Soushi can ignore when he wants to. It had been who had lead them both to get them but that was simply because he was the sort of person who wanted to be prepared for just about anything. He'd told Kazuki that nothing had to change, not unless they wanted it to and not until they wanted to.

Today Soushi finds himself doing something different. Last night he'd been up extremely late, too immersed in his current book to put it down. That meant he hadn't really gotten up before Kazuki went to work. He'd rolled over and taken the usually offered cup of coffee but hadn't gotten out of bed before the other disappeared for the day. Soushi hadn't come by his work for lunch either, preferring to catch up on all the sleep he'd been missing out the last few nights on by burying his face in Kazuki's pillow and sleeping most of the day away. He had, in fact, slept right through lunch and woke up hungry.

Rather than get something substanial to eat, he'd simply had a protein bar. Convienent and quick. No mess to clean up after. After a quick (by his usual standards) shower, he decided it was rather late in the day to go by the library. He cleaned their too-big apartment and threw out any leftovers that had gone bad. With it done, their refridgerator looked a little bare. Since he wasn't planning to go out and stay out, Soushi might as well go shopping. Maybe he'd make dinner tonight. Yes, that was a good idea. It didn't have to be anything fancy but he could find a recipe for something new - something neither of them has had.

That's how Kazuki will find him when he comes home, puttering around the kitchen with a black apron on and food cooking. Their small table already set for the pair of them. Soushi senses his presence rather than hearing their door open and calls out.]

The food is just about ready, Kazuki.

[The only time he ever felt it was more so a task to be done was when he was younger and cooked for he and his father. They shouldn't have to get food on the go all the time, but all at once Kazuki understood and agreed with the reason why. There were always higher priorities. Regardless, though, he's still thankful for how Maya's mother and sister had taught him in the first place.]

Well yours are plenty good. It really is nice when you do cook.

[in other words, go on and do so as much as you want. Kazuki doesn't care if he might be biased. It's far better than both his father's and Maya's cooking, honestly. Not that he ever judged them.]

Maybe I'll find something [another] new for the next meal again. There's been a few things I've tried around the other dome that I wouldn't mind trying out. [He says so as if he hasn't been doing this already. . .]

[There's too much fuss for Soushi's taste. While it's all very calculated and can be perfected, the clean-up is ridiculous for something they already ate most of. Still, it had it's appeal. He got to see Kazuki eat it and it was like chemistry, only he got to eat it after it was complete.]

Just be sure to let me know ahead of time if there's a night you want to make a meal.

[Soushi knows that Kazuki does actually like cooking, he has been trying new recipes since arriving and doesn't mind being the guinea pig for the ones he tries on his own. So he's making sure that he won't make a meal for the two of them only to find out that Kazuki wanted to try something else that night. Not that it would be much of a problem for them to communicate their plans even without picking up a communicator.]

Hm. You should take notes of which ones you like or how you might want to change them. Maybe you'll have a whole new menu of food someday soon. [It's a rare opportunity for them, learning about other foods and having the ingredients to make it with. Pretty much anything Kazuki makes, Soushi likes it. Unless it's too sweet.]

Of course.

[They do have all the time in the world while in Marina, and Kazuki cherishes every second. Back home there have naturally been attempts, but there's also the fact that the alarms can sound at any point. Things are disrupted. That's just life, though.

He also can't help but think about how he genuinely enjoys cooking for the younger Soushi. It's endearing and silly sometimes when he makes his best attempts to help out. He's always so pleased with himself when he sets the napkins out on the table.]

I'm one step ahead of you on that.

[He's both written things down, but also taken pictures of the pages in the recipe books.]

I kind of wish my memory was as sharp as yours, though. [a bit wry] I also am still learning new things from Chuck.

[It isn't as if things are always so peaceful here, it's just that they aren't nearly as frequent. The situations that might be disrupting to others, isn't so bad for them. They've lived on less food and supplies, they've dealt with more danger. They haven't gotten lax in being careful when such circumstances happen but in the back of their minds, they're aware that it could be worse.

That Soushi was just learning how to cook, possibly trying to cook like Kazuki does whereas this one knows how already.]

Good, I'm certain everyone would love your changes to the recipe.

[Then Kazuki can add it to the collection Soushi will give him soon.]

You retain information better than most humans do. Chances are you're better at it than you give yourself credit for. [A side effect of being partially assimilated. They could share information the way with the way their minds are connected. Soushi really doesn't mind.]

[It's that sort of experience- no, their lifestyle as a whole, which has Kazuki all the more able to help people out here whenever it's within his ability. He knows there are those here who are the opposite of he and Soushi; how what might seem like no issue in their eyes, is in fact terrifying for the other. Kazuki is glad even if all he can do is calm someone down.

Right now, though, Soushi is just being flattering. However he's amused all the same.]

I could probably put together a book of my own at some point if I wanted to.

[That could be rather fun.]

Ah. . . Maybe so. I guess I hadn't really thought of it in that kind of way before.

[Although that's not to say that he takes their link for granted. Not in the slightest.]
