[ Isn't he always. He smiles, kind of false. ]

Sure, I'll kick circles around you, if you want.

[ He rocks back with the push. ]

And what if we get weird future dystopian germs, huh? It gets wetter and colder here than Tokyo, just... keep it in mind. Okay?

[ringbeast]

[He frowns, able to pick out real smiles from fake ones at this point. But it's not time to worry about it.]

I was a pretty passable defender in gym class! Of course mostly that's cos I'd like tackle the dudes with the ball, which I don't think is legal.

[He purses his lips, musing.]

Well, anyway, I'll get a coat if I can find one at a good price, okay? My vest's pretty warm but I guess I've never been anywhere that gets real cold in the winter. I mean it's kind of weird when it gets below freezing in Fukui.

[ringwizard]

Yeah, I'm definitely running circles around you.

[He nods, lifting his hand and half-curling his fingers into a loose fist, to rap his knuckles on Nitoh's chest. They linger there.]

You've got a little time, I think. It's just something to keep in mind. You're not the only guy who missed winter and might need more clothes.

[ringbeast]

Hey I might surprise you! You might have bein' almost a pro on your side, but I'm scrappy!

[He puts his hand over Haruto's without meaning to, and then lets it rest there, tapping on Haruto's fist with his fingertips.]

Yeah, I better get one before all the cool ones are gone. Just cos it's a dystopia doesn't mean I can't look good. I wonder if they got those ones with fur hoods like my vest...

[Then he lets go of Haruto's hand.]

Should I make some breakfast? I already ate a little somethin' but I feel like soft boiled eggs and rice.

[ringwizard]

If you tackle me, I'm giving you the red card. Forever.

[He leans closer, fondly. He likes sharing space, when he lets himself get close. Nitoh's body heat seeps through his clothes.]

Knowing this place, it'll probably be a real animal head, honestly. You might be better off with a coat you can wear the vest under. Since the vest is cute.

['I'm not cute, I'm badass!' No. Not true. He pulls away after Nitoh does, putting his hands to his hips.]

I could eat, if you're volunteering to cook.

[ringbeast]

Again, I don't usually hear you complainin' about it.

[This is a lie, Haruto usually complains loudly when Nitoh starts to roughhouse, but not in a bad way.]

I dunno I think I could rock the wild man look. [He scoffs] Cute. I'll cute you. And yeah, I'll cook. Not like you do, anyway.

[He gets up and moves toward the kitchen, stretching his shoulders and then getting out the pans and leftover rice.]

[ringwizard]

Shows how much you're listening...

[He's pretty sure his complaints have been clear enough, but then it's not like Nitoh listens much anyway.]

I'd worry about you getting too wild. No fur rugs in the apartment. Or mounted animal heads. [He doesn't argue the way Nitoh laughs off cute, satisfied with himself nonetheless as he leans back against the couch's arm.] Well, why would I, when you do it so much better?

[ringbeast]

[He just laughs.]

Yeah, but I'd make it all look good. I'm kinda lookin' for something cool like that to put up in my room. I guess I'll have to see how things go at the flea markets.

[He starts the cooking and grins.]

Well, I'm no chef, but I'm not sure I wanna risk whatever you might be making.

[ringwizard]

[Haruto groans, low.]

I have to sleep in there too, you know.

[As if it isn't creepy enough with the ghosts.]

Hey! My congee didn't kill you, did it?

[ringbeast]

[He laughs from the kitchen]

Congee was invented cos some guy left the rice on too long! The whole recipe is just screwin' stuff up!

[He turns up the heat to let the sizzle of melting lard cover Haruto's indignant retort and smirks as he waits for the pan to cool down enough to make th eggs soft-yolked instead of burned.]

[ringwizard]

[SCOWLING. LOTS OF SCOWLING.

He grumbles under his breath about you being a screwup, but that felt both mean and weak, so he doesn't repeat it.]

The only screwup here is me still finding you attractive.
