[OOF WHY THE CAT IMMEDIATELY

This is probably what he has had to deal with for several days. He grunts and stirs. JD grooms his forehead once or twice with a terrible sandpaper tongue, and he squints his eyes before peeling them open.

It’s just his eyes peeking around a cat at Ryo. They are squinting again.]

Mm~mm…? Hos…?

[His brows furrow.]

Ay ee. Ah ant eave.

[preordain]

Hm? I can't understand what you're saying.

[ because he put a cat on his face.

but ryo does nothing for a few seconds, before he lifts jd up begrudgingly and sets him on a pillow instead. never say he doesn't do anything for you, akira (it's ryo fault it even happened) ]

Now get up.

[tearduct]

[He mutters some other stuff, but the cat is on his face, so it's very muffled and unintelligible. That's what Ryo gets. These are all and have always been the consequences of his actions.

He sputters a little once JD is lifted away. Reaching up, he scrubs his face and stubbornly rocks his head back and forth. More squinting.]

Good morning? [Said pointedly. As in, CAN'T RYO AT LEAST SAY GOOD MORNING FIRST.] We have to go this early...?

[It's probably, like 3 PM. Idk.]

[preordain]

Hm, if this is what you consider early...

[ ryo decides that he will have to fix akira's sleep schedule somehow. maybe akira can actually get a job like he had been considering before he left.

he reaches over to ruffle akira's hair. it's done annoyingly. ]

If you get up now I'll give you a prize.

[tearduct]

[He looks absolutely like an exasperated kid when Ryo annoyingly ruffles his hair. It's already stuck up in every direction because it's fluffy, so luckily the ruffle doesn't do much more than... make it more fluffy.]

Mnn--n?!

[His eyes snap open. He starts trying to sit up without jostling JD around too badly.]

Prize...?

[WHAT IS THE PRIZE...]

[preordain]

[ opens my inbox as i wait in this sephora line for ten years

but ryo just nods his head, as if that answers the question. ]

You'll find out what it is once you're ready.

[ as in, ryo is now moving to leave the room. ]

[tearduct]

[YOUR SEPHORA

Akira watches Ryo leave, and he exchanges a glance with JD like ??? even though JD does little more than look at him with an unreadable expression. Prize...? Is this pay back for when he tried to trick Harrow and Ryo into not arguing and fighting because they were cursed...?

Gently, he rubs his eyes with his fisted hands. Well. He's already sitting up, so may as well go along with Ryo's plans. RYO IS ALREADY TRYING TO SEND HIM TO WORK AT A JOB LIKE A SIM HUSBAND.

Begrudgingly, he will get out of bed so he can find some clothes to put on (which are Ryo's since the purpose of this trip is to find him clothes period). Will Ryo find out he's a clothes snob now because he spent, like, 80 years with rich fashion snobs? Yeah... He walks out yawning largely with JD in his arms.]

[preordain]

[ this is going to be the most annoying shopping trip in the world as ryo gets more and more exasperated at akira knowing fashion now

but akira will find ryo downstairs. he will also find that... ryo is a girl now. that was the prize. boobies. ]

Let's go, Akira.

[tearduct]

[?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

HELLO???????

He almost drops JD on the ground when he double-takes at Ryo beING A GIRL. His face gets a little red, and he gapes because his brain has to hard restart since a) Ryo is a girl, b) he just got up, and c) he hasn't eaten yet. HE DOESN'T EVEN DISLIKE RYO AS A BOY.

He is simply shocked for a second time by how hot Ryo is as a girl. As if he has not seen Ryo's genderless form several times. Bisexuality is hurting his brain.]

Com...ing.

[He goes, realizing halfway he still has JD, so he gently puts the cat down on the ground and knocks fur off his chest.]

[preordain]

[ see, ryo knew this would be a good prize.

switches pronouns because ryo does not care at all about this. but she looks up from her phone when akira approaches and pockets it. ]

Let's go then. Do you like your prize?

[ ryo knows the answer already ]

[tearduct]

[STOP, shut up. God, he's so predictable and stupid. Either his face gets red again or it just hasn't stopped being red from the initial time. He glances away, then back dumbly.]

Yeah! [Wait, that was too loud and eager.] ...Um, yeah.

[Hell yeah, he likes his prize.] You're sexy... [Anyway. He very quickly kisses Ryo and then runs out of the door.]

[preordain]

[ help. ryo blinks and just follows along after... this is so easy. but they're going to have to go to the city again because so many other places sell more costume-y things than proper clothes. ryo probably does not need to give directions at this point. ]

You can decide what stores to go into once we get there...

[ this is less because ryo believes akira is now a fashionista and more just not being too big on shopping in general.

also going to assume akira is going to fly them again, despite ryo also being able to fly, ]

[tearduct]

[Look....... Sometimes. Sometimes, an angel.

Ryo is really just assigning him taxi. Unfortunately, he has no problem with this. He does have to get his wings out, but I'm still not explaining how he does it without shredding Ryo's extra clothes. Maybe he should just go shirtless from now on, or something.

He will gather Ryo up in his arms. Spoiled.]

We can look around. Ready?

[preordain]

[ the way we are ignoring how these wings work

but yes, very spoiled. ryo will hold onto akira, pressing against him for both practical reasons and also because boobs. it is beginning to be hard to tell if this is really a prize or a punishment, actually. ]

Mm. Although admittedly I was getting used to seeing you in my clothes...

[ it's fine.... ]

[tearduct]

[The wings are just in or out, it's fine. WHAT IS NOT FINE IS RYO BEING MEAN TO HIM WITH THE BOOBA.

His face gets red, and then his face gets MORE red when Ryo talks about him in Ryo's clothes. He's holding Ryo, so she can absolutely feel how much he tenses in (keysmash) about it.]

We... can... just, like, share... Sometimes, I can wear yours maybe.

[WHY IS RYO MEAN TO HIM.

He is just going to fly now so he doesn't have to look at Ryo when he's being flustered about the clothes.]

[preordain]

... I guess once we get clothes for you, I could sometimes wear yours?

[ no this is great and fascinating to watch. although admittedly this is now also ryo being a little greedy since wearing your partner's clothes can be romantic. also a bit possessive. ryo would like to be both. ]

If that's fine with you.

[tearduct]

[Ryo would at least look cute because Akira's clothes would be slightly bigger, but the same cannot be said of Akira... Not that Ryo minds him wearing something that's tight because Ryo is extremely gay. Or... het (sometimes).]

Yeah...? It's... [He wants to say sexy, but then he also doesn't want to say sexy. He looks away again.] It's cute.

[It IS cute, but it's also extremely sexy to think about Ryo wandering around in some of his clothes. Ryo is making him slowly more evil and unhinged in a bad way just like Jan.

He realizes he might have to get a few pair of things because Ryo might not give them back. Like hoodies, or something.]

[preordain]

[ that's a fair thought to have because ryo would definitely not give shit back, which would be funnier on the basis of them living together.

but cute.... she thinks over that description, as it's also one that normally she would not get too often. ]

Then we'll trade. Since that's what...

[ she wants to say what couples do but there is ???

they confessed but are they dating........ im sorry ryo is at a point where she needs everything like this said explicitly because not clarifying ruined everything ]

[tearduct]

[Every time, I keep thinking about how Ryo is just mookie’s version of their Kenma and Akira is Kuroo. The vibes are the same.

He is gonna be surprised when he starts losing clothes from the closet, only to see Ryo wearing what he couldn’t find later.

The pause makes him glance back at Ryo, brows rising slightly.]

That’s what…?

[preordain]

[ i hate how i completely understand what you mean by that

but hmmm. actually this conversation may backfire, ryo decides not to address it while they are in the air because if it goes poorly she is going to jump out of akira's arms while flying. ]

It's convenient since we live together.

[tearduct]

[Spoiled and bratty; actually has a lot of anxiety.

Like now which is very funny considering Akira wouldn’t really mind the conversation, but they both have trauma, so they will not acknowledge this currently in the air. DON’T JUST JUMP OUT OF HIS ARMS INTO THE LAVA?]

Oh. Yeah. We don’t have the same color palette, but it’d be easier to just share clothes. You look pretty good in black, though. Your skin and eyes stand out more.

[He is fucking blabbering like a moron.]

[preordain]

[ ryo, who has never once thought about this: what

honestly the most ryo has probably thought about appearances was for that one party and that ended up being a gigantic waste so. never again after that. ]

Uh huh... if you say so.

[ she reaches up to pull lightly at a strand of akira's hair. ]

[tearduct]

[STOP. Akira had thought Ryo looked good… Unfortunately, it was a terrible time for them because they WOULDN’T TALK JUST LIKE RIGHT NOW.]

You’d look good in golds, too, probably. Blues would—

[He glances at Ryo when he is tugged. ????? Playfully, he tries to bite at Ryo’s fingers for it.]

[preordain]

[ it is in this moment where ryo is remembering what akira had said about being involved in the fashion industry and is now thinking, 'oh no i should have sent him alone'

it is too late for that now.

at the bite, ryo will pull her fingies away and just use them to brush against akira's lips. ]

Blues?

[tearduct]

[Enjoy fashion with him… At least, it isn’t something he is super passionate about (not the creation of it anyway), only something he has grown to understand and appreciate.

His head chases the fingers a little until he can kiss them.]

Mm. Blue or grey would bring out your eyes. They’re really vibrant and blue.
