Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

[no reply! but that's because the knock comes rather quickly, and Mars answers the door with a stifled yawn]

'Sup, Fox?

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

[fox looks... weary. there's lines on his face and his expression is just very somber--but mars only gets to see that for a split second before fox is smiling at him]

Hello. May I come in?

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

[ah. . .]

[there's a brief hesitation before Mars answers, not because he's debating saying no, but because-- where did that weariness come from?]

Ah. . . 'course you can.

[steps aside for Fox]

Everything okay?

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

I...

Could we go somewhere else? Just the two of us. Your room, perhaps?

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

[. . . oh. . .]

[Mars feels like that response is telling. he hesitates, before nodding and stepping back to guide Fox to his room]

Sure.

I upgraded it a little bit recently. You haven't seen it yet, have you?

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

No, I have not. What sort of upgrade is it?

[following]

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

A smoking-slash-coffee lounge. Hiryuu always yelled at me for smoking inside, sooooo. . .

[gonna lead Fox into his room, through the extra door, annnnnd into this place! which has a coffee siphon and some coffee beans/mugs on the counter]

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

[:O fox is distracted from his melancholy by looking around the room]

... it is very "you". Hmm, it even smells like you, a bit.

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

[. . . lightly amused]

Does it?

[huh]

Do you want some coffee? I'm getting a li'l better at making it.

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

I mean that in a good way.

[he runs his fingers lightly over the couch]

I would love some coffee, thank you.

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

Cool. Take a seat while I make it.

[gonna get started on that, and thankfully he has some beans pre-ground so he gets to skip a step]

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

[fox sits...

and then decides instead he'd rather be a dramatic heap and sprawl over the couch, limbs splayed everywhere, face down]

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

[. . . . BUDDY. . . . . .]

Yoooooou okay over there?

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

[muffled]

Fine. Is the coffee ready?

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

Give it a couple of minutes.

[. . . in fact, while it's brewing Mars is gonna meander towards the couch and lean over the back of same so he can ruffle the back of Fox's hair]

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

[lifts his head in surprise, blinking up at mars, making a soft noise

... one fox tail emerges and wiggles a little, in anticipation]

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

[NERD]

[fluffs his hair some more]

You're being dramatic.

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

[POUTS but he likes the petting]

Perhaps I am. What of it?

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

Nothing. I don't mind it when you're dramatic.

[pet pet pet]

But I'd like to know what's eating you tonight.

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

I will tell you if you let me sit in your lap while I drink my coffee.

[like he wasn't going to tell mars anyway]

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

Deal.

[totally knows that, but it's fine, he doesn't mind a lap full of Fox anyway]

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

[sits up promptly and waits for mars to join him. '-']

Re: Day 197

[foolmetwice]

[he has to wait until the coffee is done, but! as soon as it is, he pours Fox a mug and joins him on the couch, warm drink extended]

Re: Day 197

[artisticliberty]

[fox takes it]

Thank you.

[and then as soon as mars sits down he has a lap full of fox, sitting sideways with his legs extended, one hand holding his mug of coffee with his other arm wrapped around mars's shoulders, resting his head on his collarbone. cuddle time]
