[ gazes forever

he can't pinch akira again even though he wants to, so he will need to remember to do it later hwen akira forgets about this whole things. ]

I didn't know a chicken suit had so much power over you...

[tearduct]

[Wtf, don't hold onto grudges...]

It wasn't the suit, it was talking about chicken. Ryo!

[Why is he being bullied at every damn turn? Is this because Ryo is also still holding onto the Kaoru grudge (that's fair).]

I'm going to look in the kitchen.

[They got groceries!! He'll stand at the open fridge and eat something cold and processed until he's full.]

[preordain]

[ AT LEAST FUCKING HEAT IT UP HE HATES IT HERE ]

Okay. Let go of me then.

[ so he can pinch him. ]

[tearduct]

[no, it will be cold

He does not trust Ryo, but he cannot voice this concern even jokingly because of all of the awkwardness of their history. RIP.

He thinks about pre-emptively biting Ryo, or something, then decides against it. Besting his demon nature... He pushes himself up to his knees and lets go of Ryo.]

[preordain]

[ thank you.

he sits up... and does nothing for a moment.

before he once again reaches over to try to pinch akira's side. bitch. ]

[tearduct]

[HEY

He squawks and scrambles back to his feet and hops away like a startled cat.]

Ah, NO! Ryo!

[He tries running away to the kitchen.]

[preordain]

[ there he goes

ryo waits a bit, looking over to jd who is just staring the way cats do when humans are being stupid?? and then he slowly gets off the bed and walks towards the kitchen.

akira better not being eating something cold already. ]

[tearduct]

[NOT THE ICON

Unfortunately, yeah, he's standing at the fridge with it open as you do when you can't figure out what to eat, eating something very quick and cold....... idk, a slice of sandwich meat, or a stick of cheese, or something.]

[preordain]

[ help

well, he wanders over and just stands behind him like 🧍‍♂️ ]

Akira...

[tearduct]

[He turns around in place and shoves what he has into Ryo's mouth. I'm saying it's cheese now which is funny when I made him lactose intolerant. Sometimes, you choose pain.]

What do you want to eat?

[THIS WASN'T EVEN ABOUT RYO.]

I can cook it.

[He learned............to cook.]

[preordain]

[ STOP EATING DAIRY!!!!!!!!!!!!

ryo just eats this cheese now since he will just eat anything akira gives him once it is in his mouth. ]

Do we even have anything in there to cook?

[tearduct]

[He really puts Ryo through this not for the first or last time. He even sort of grins lopsidedly about it. Eat the cheese.]

Uh. We got some stuff before...

[Turns back to dig through the fridge for a second. How dare y'all leave JD ALONE where he cannot SEE what you're DOING. He comes wandering in to rub on their legs.]

Did you ever even eat anything?

[preordain]

I can eat.

[ obviously. he says as he finishes eating cheese. he glances down at catte before looking back up at what akira is doing. ]

You can always just make something with chicken.

[ this is such a vague request there are so many chicken dishes ]

[tearduct]

I know you can, but did you?

[Freaking angel man. He guesses it doesn't matter, and he knows Ryo isn't human, BUT WHY DOES IT WORRY HIM. He's too much of a starving demon to understand not craving food.]

Here. [Handing Ryo another cheese like Ryo needs a snack.] While I make something. We have some chicken.

[Which he gets out, hunting for a few more things.]

[preordain]

[ why is he being handed cheese like a toddler needing to be placated

he will? eat this he supposes??? you can practically see the question marks floating above his head as he does this. ]

... I'm surprised you didn't just eat out all the time.

[ the bitch who ryo will not name was rich........... ]

[tearduct]

[He has to keep Ryo occupied while he gets everything together, or Ryo will be nosy. (Ryo will be nosy anyway.)

In the fridge, he winces as he's putting stuff in his arms.]

...I did mostly, but it got a little boring after a while. So I learned to cook a few things.

[Kicks the fridge shut gently with a foot.]

Wanna help?

[preordain]

[ ryo could say something mean right now but he manages not to open his mouth. he is thinking it instead though, he is being so very rude in his head right now because he is very much just, "well you wouldn't have been bored if you stayed with me"

he eats his cheese, like sasuke couldn't. ]

What are you making?

[ that is not a no but he is curious first ]

[tearduct]

[Ryo......

He watches Ryo eat this cheese for a second, feeling that weird annoyed tension.

So he does what he has learned to do and what he remembered always worked with Ryo before: leans in to give him a peck on the cheese lips. Chu.]

Let's make soup. It's easy and will be light enough for you.

[preordain]

[ oh he is so easy to please with gay. he does not quite perk up, but he definitely stops being internally rude. ]

That's fine.

[ he pulls out his phone



he is in fact googling how to make soup ]

[tearduct]

[His hands are full, so he uses his elbow to try pushing the phone down.]

Trust me. I'll show you how. Get us a small pot for the chicken and a big one for the soup.

[He carries what all he has over to the counter to put it down.]

[preordain]

[ hmmm

he pockets the phone and will go get the pots then, assuming these are the correct sizes for what akira wants. he brings them over. ]

Fine. Impress me.

[tearduct]

I will then.

[COCKY...

He grins as he takes the pots. The big one goes on the stove to sit for now. The little one he carries to the sink to fill with water.]

I'll chop, and you can put them in, okay? We have to boil the chicken first so we can shred it for the soup.

[The water pot goes on the stove, and he turns the burners on. We call them eyes in the South, so I just went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out why and if I was spelling it correctly help me.]

[preordain]

[ EYES?? THE BURNERS??? you have four eyes

but wow... akira teaching him things... he should be less surprised because akira did make the curry on his first day back.

but ryo will watch this happen. ]

... what's your favorite thing to eat.

[ besides

meat ]

[tearduct]

[OUR STOVE EYES

Once the pots are in place, he scoots up behind Ryo and bullies Ryo with his body over to the sink. PINS HIM. So

he can wash their hands together before touching the food.]

Mmmm... Yakitori. [MEAT...] Hamburgers are good too.

[preordain]

[ yea the meat answers are what he expected

ryo allows himself to be manhandled. ]

Huh. [ it's said in an unsurprised tone. ] How hard is it to make burgers?

[ he doubts they have the stuff for it but just

curious. ]
