“Are you okay?”

Minami’s head was clouded and it felt like he was hearing things under water. He could register that someone was talking, but all of his energy was focused on staying upright and awake. “Huh? Oh, yeah, I’m fine,” he manages to get out.

“Are you sure? You look ill.. maybe you shouldn’t skate today.” She said. “You look like you’re going to pass out.” Scarlett moved some of her long hair out of her face.

He blinked hard, trying to keep his sight in focus, but it was like fighting with a crappy cell phone camera. He desperately needed to train though. “Me? Sick? Never,” he said, and subsequently stumbled forward.

North the neko wanders towards an ice rink. He had some money... He wanted to do some ice skating, then get some food.... He was hungry. He smiles as he arrives at the entrance before bumping into someone. "O-oh.... I'm sorry!"

Minami was deeply invested in his phone and failed to notice the smaller man until he bumped into him. “Oh! It was my fault, I should’ve been watching where I was going.”

North shakes his head as he spills some change and quickly picks it up. “Ahhhhh!” He needs all of it for food…. And the Ice Skating Rink. He finally picks it all up. “Sowwies again…”

He helps the lad pick up his change. “Its alright, really. My name is Minami, by the way,” he extends his hand to help him up.

North takes the hand, blushing on contact. “N-North. North Matthews.” He whispers, smiling softly as his tail swishes

He smiles kindly. “Its nice to meet you. Im Minami Kenjiro. Are you new to the rink?”

“Y-yeah… Just barely got enough money to get in…” He smiles a bit sadly

His brow furrowed. “Do you want something to eat? I’ve got some cash on me, it wouldn’t be any trouble. I have some snacks in my bag too. Have you been skating before?” He wasn’t sure what it was about North, but he felt a sense of protectiveness that he couldn’t quite name.

North blinks in confusion and worry but nods. “Y-yeah…. I…. Could get something to eat. And uh…. No…”

He pulls out a smaller bag from his skating bag, the one with his food in it. He held it open in front of the man he’d bumped into. “You can take anything you want from here. I’m so sorry about bumping into you. And, um, if you want.. I come here a lot, I could skate with you if you’d like?” He was fully aware that he may be overstepping boundaries here, but he wanted to help.

North blinks and nods, taking some of the food and just… wolfing it down. Like he hadn’t eaten in days. “I would like that….~” He says, as his ears flap.

Cute… he catches himself thinking. He shakes his head, then smiles at the neko boy. “Alright! We’re going to have a lot of fun.” They begin walking to where North can rent a pair of skates. “Hey, when was the last time you actually ate?”

North chuckles. “Maybe……2,3 days ago?” He tilts his head in thought. He buys his skates and puts them on.

He just kind of stares at him for a minute. He did look really thin… too thin, probably. He laces up his own skates, taking less time because of how frequently he does his. “How about… What if, after this, we went and got real food? As much as you can eat.” He had been there when he first left home, the not eating for days. He remembers how awful it felt, how much it hurt.

“Um… sure~ Almost like a date~” He jokes as he slides out onto the ice and slips a bit, but catches himself by spinning. “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

Minami flushes red for a moment. It kind of did sound like a date, didn’t it. He laughed with North as he spun and squealed. “Why don’t I help you a little bit?” He skated backward in front of him and offered his hands. There was a soft sort of smile on his face, and kindness in his eyes.

North blushes as he takes his hands. “I um… yeah… haha~” He chuckles, his tail swishing slowly. It began to pick up and he had taken the hands.

Minami held the two of them steady as he skated, not moving too fast, but faster than a snail’s pace. “So what do you do for fun?”

North the neko wanders towards an ice rink. He had some money... He wanted to do some ice skating, then get some food.... He was hungry. He smiles as he arrives at the entrance before bumping into someone. "O-oh.... I'm sorry!"

“Let me clean your wounds…” ((Nok-Young, aged up a little bit to 18 because cinnamon roll deserves some happiness))

He jumps slightly, not having noticed his neighbor come up to him. “Oh!” He tried to hide his hand which was, admittedly, bleeding and beginning to drip down his hand and wrist. “This? It’s nothing, really, I’ll be okay.”

“Oh, that’s cool! I can help clean up since I’ve been so much trouble.” He felt bad for inconveniencing her, after all.

“Is Ji-Yeon the other woman I see come in here? I don’t think I’ve gotten to meet her yet.” He smiled at her. “I am. It’s the whole reason I moved here, actually. What are you studying?”

“Ah, she is busy often, but she takes care of me a lot. She is like a big sister to me.” Nok-Young smiled fondly at the thought. “I am studying design! I’m…not as good with it like my mother…but I share her interest!” Almost excitedly, she breezed through the room, cleaning up the mess.

“I’m glad you have someone in your life who you can go to,” he said almost sadly. He hadn’t spoken to his parents or brother since he’d moved. He wasn’t jealous, he really was happy for his neighbor. “Like, graphic design, interior design, architecture? Or something else entirely?” He liked hearing people talk about things they were passionate about.

“I don’t like the idea of you walking down the streets all alone.”

He and his boyfriend of nearly 8 months had been hanging out at Subaru’s apartment for the past few hours, and it was getting late. Minami had suggested that it was time for him to head home. “Why not? I’ve done it dozens of times.”

“It’s just that everytime you leave, I get these images of you getting easily hounded on by men stronger and taller than you. And the worst part is that I won’t be able to know if you’re in any immediate danger.” Subaru frowned at the thoughts he has.

Minami placed his hand over Subaru’s. “The world is a big place. There are billions of men who are bigger than me, but I know how to protect myself,” he said, trying to ease his boyfriend’s fears. He knew he was smaller than most, but he didn’t like being treated like he was fragile. He also knew that Subaru wasn’t trying to hurt him, but that he assumed he couldn’t defend himself kind of stung a bit.

“I’m sorry if I made you think you can’t protect yourself. It’s just that you’re my boyfriend and I worry about you. If I didn’t, that means I don’t care about you.” Subaru replied, feeling a bit guilty for hurting Minami’s ego a bit. “How about I walk you home? Or maybe you can stay here for the night?”

He smiled softly, lacing their fingers together. “It’s okay. I know you didn’t do it on purpose.” He brought their hands to his face and placed a gentle kiss to Subaru’s knuckle. “I think I could stand a sleepover. Maybe we can watch movies. I don’t have practice until later in the afternoon tomorrow.”

“That’s great. You want me to get your usual sleepover PJ’s or feeling a bit wearing only underwear?” Subaru asked, feeling a bit excited as he hugged his boyfriend with a pink blush painted across his face.

He smiled and his heart swelled. Even after all these months, he still felt like Subaru was the most adorable thing in the world. He kissed his boyfriend’s cheek fleetingly. “You’re too cute. The regular PJs will be fine, its supposed to get a little cold tonight.”

“Awww! Why not? I can just cuddle with you all night.” Subaru smiled, brightly. He really is a touchy-feely kind of guy, so he tries to make opportunities to cuddle, hug, and kiss Minami whenever he can. One can only hope that Minami can handle when his beloved boyfriend feels like being physical, even intimately.

#//hey so apparently i didnt have to work today after all

Minami tried his best to contain a giggle, and failed miserably. "You're going to do that anyway, whether im wearing pajamas or not," he says, lacing together the fingers of their free hands. He loves physical contact, but he didn't get a whole lot of it growing up, so he's a little bit touch starved and has a bit of a hard time asking for it.
