[ so, the show finally ends, and they host a party.
like promised, taka is there. he helps with most of the setup; getting the snacks, criticizing senri's picks for a playlist, tidying up the apartment to make it more guest friendly. senri still has the majority of the say since taka, admittedly, is still annoyed by ryu talking about how they were their parties, but he helps enough that senri is probably happy about that.
right before the start of it he has to step out due to an urgent work matter that can't be avoided. it's only a quick thing, lasting just a little over an hour, but it just means that taka misses the very start of it. which... is probably a good thing, since they won't be officially revealing that they're dating until the next day. taka isn't entirely sure if they're allowed to out themselves in front of these people beforehand?? he isn't even sure who's on the guest list because he didn't care to ask. so, if they want to keep it quiet tonight, it's probably best if he isn't around when guests first start to show up.
probably.
but he texts senri when he's on the elevator up, and he ends up sharing it with one of the guests, one of the stagehands from the show who looks vaguely familiar from the time taka was backstage. ]
because you see, senri is having a grand old time? he's not drink but he's definitely already had the inaugural toast with everyone since he couldn't wait for taka to come back for it. it's okay, he says, because he'll have a second toast with the other yumenosaki alums altogether. yuma, touji, yuni, shigure, shinya, minato, issei, jin, yanagi - a whole lot of them managed to come in for the party, even though it seems like no one was able to snake charm kasuka into attending.
close enough though!
he's in an unbelievably good mood what with his freedom being granted to him, and he already has a drink in hand as he's mingling with everyone - though he turns when he sees the door open, because he's a good host, and immediately wanders toward it once he sees that it's taka!! he wanders much faster than he did with any other guest, actually.
and then his momentum doesn't really stop as he attaches himself to taka]
[ taka was actually in the middle of pocketing his phone when senri is suddenly there, and there's a moment where he fumbles with it to try not to drop it while he also holds onto senri. the second thing is more of a reflex than anything, since if senri is there then of course taka is going to grab onto him. ]
I wasn't gone for that long.
[ the stagehand comes in after him and just snorts. it's fine. ]
[oh - senri reaches out to gently grab onto the stagehand's wrist, smiling brightly in his direction as he tilts his head]
Jun-kun, Jun-kun!! [it's not That Jun-kun, but it sounds just like you're imagining] Welcome to the partyyyy! You missed the first toast, but maybe I'll do another toast in another half hour? You've been here before - make yourself comfortable, have fun, be safe, make good choices!!
[chatty.... but he'll eventually let go and wave goodbye to the stage hand before going back to octopus attaching himself to taka, kissing his cheek obnoxiously. he's definitely had a bit to drink already, it's fine.]
[it's fizzy, fruity, and you can barely taste the alcohol! it's probably bad news that senri has such a full cup of whatever this concoction is. but he'll let taka take it and then use the opportunity to wrap both of his arms around his waist and press his face into his neck]
Hard-working Takaomi-kun...
[and he'll kiss taka's jaw idly, affectionate and bubbly from the amount of social stimuli around]
[ listen they made out at the last party they went to but that was different since they didn't know everyone there?? taka might have to see these people again ]
senri is both incredibly relaxed and vaguely antsy - but even as they head on their way to go get their baggage, senri is going to let his hand find taka's while the other brings around his chic suitcase behind him. he still has sunglasses on and has absolutely mastered the art of airport fashion but
he still kind of is nito senri]
I don't think Mike-chan-senpai is expecting us to pick up Simba until tomorrow....
[taka said that it'd be fine to move in together in a couple of months - so now it's been about two months and a single day since then, and senri thinks that's been plenty of time!
to be honest, he probably hired movers to take care of uhh, everything. legitimately everything. simba is staying with shion still while they get everything settled, because senri wants to rearrange an entirely playroom for his cat. terrible. who gave him money.
but it's just when they've got a few boxes left that they need to unpack and all the workers have left his apartment that he's just going to find taka and

Hi.
Work go okay?

but okay, apparently pda is acceptable, that's good to know. ]
Mm. There was just a sudden break in a case and I had to go and confirm it...
[ ah, a party is probably not the best place for boring job talk. so instead he'll just take the drink that senri has to try it. ]

post-vacay (senri voice) stream loona
senri is both incredibly relaxed and vaguely antsy - but even as they head on their way to go get their baggage, senri is going to let his hand find taka's while the other brings around his chic suitcase behind him. he still has sunglasses on and has absolutely mastered the art of airport fashion but
he still kind of is nito senri]
I don't think Mike-chan-senpai is expecting us to pick up Simba until tomorrow....
[of course he's already thinking of his son]
no subject
[ let shion play with the cat
it's still a little odd to be so cuddly right out in the open like this, but? it's fine? ]
You can set up all the presents you got for him in the apartment.
no subject
[senri got simba a cat toy that looks like a countdown stage platform and it plays blackpink
anyway he's just going to beam in taka's direction]
Are you staying over for the night before you go back to your place?
[he needs to stop phrasing these like questions when he so obviously wants taka to say yes. they're just suggestions]
no subject
but taka just raises an eyebrow ]
You're not tired of me already?
no subject
but senri is just going to blink at that]
Eh? Am I supposed to be?
[taka's an annoying binch but senri got used to that and he's still in love even if he hasn't said it out loud]
no subject
[ he reaches over to
poke senri on the cheek ]
no subject
Well don't start pushing your luck...
no subject
[ he
has to go home eventually
but one night at senri's should be fine ]

i nearly put a week and day in this subject line
to be honest, he probably hired movers to take care of uhh, everything. legitimately everything. simba is staying with shion still while they get everything settled, because senri wants to rearrange an entirely playroom for his cat. terrible. who gave him money.
but it's just when they've got a few boxes left that they need to unpack and all the workers have left his apartment that he's just going to find taka and
attach himself to him]
Welcome home, Takaomi-kun! ♥
[dumb sappy rabbit]
no subject
says taka, who also has money, but giving senri money is the worst thing to happen
but he looks at him, tilting his head. ]
We're not finished yet.
[ their last few boxes ]
no subject
.... at least entertain it a little....
The worst of it's behind us!
[senri is going to try to leave these boxes so that taka has to take care of unpacking them himself while senri goes to work]
no subject
but taka reaches out a hand to... squish senri's cheeks. annoying. ]
The workers did all the hard stuff.
no subject
MORE POUTING]
Thah herr hob!!
[translation: THAT'S THEIR JOB]
no subject
[
senri gets a kiss, and then taka lets go of his face as he steps away, so senri can't really kiss back because it's funny. ]
no subject
he's actually immediately trying to lean in but taka isn't there so now senri's flailing and losing his balance]
Hey!!
no subject
so amused ]
