Fear not, I have moved onto the miniature donuts rather than buns.
shimasaniwa:
N-no! No! It’s not like that at all. I just had one of those weird…
[He gestures vaguely with his hands, half-eaten jellyfish wobbling in the air like sad jelly-pasta.]
… dragon moments? I think.
-Growing Concern.-
Is this...
Something we should take into consideration if you are to have more children? Is it something like craving...
...
I am not sure what is even in jellyfish.
shimasaniwa:
…………………..
…….. I-It’s good.
It is fine.
... Did Mitsutada’s dinner drive you to this?
-Concern.-
(You come into the kitchen to find quite a number of things are missing. This certainly isn't how you left the fridge either. There's some dirty dishes in the sink too despite the fact you know you diligently cleaned them all last night before bed. Just as you begin to search for clues, you nearly slip on the floor. It's wet.)
-He honestly hasn’t been doing kitchen work as of late. But Mitsutada left the kitchen in this state...?-
....
-He sets out cleaning the kitchen, noting the water. Maybe it was someone else fumbling around...?-
zokuzokushitekitayo:
[He brightens up? Just. This is why they’re so good together. He’s always valid when he’s with Hasebe. He feels safe? Like he can be himself without fear? The smile that crosses his face is unguarded, pure and unadulterated in its sheer joy.]
You… would allow me to be a maid for you, as well? Of course, it’s unquestionable that I would be one for Goshujinsama… but…
I would love nothing more than to wait on you in that manner, Hasebe-kun. It would be a fun sort of power play, wouldn’t you say? I would have to be a rather… unique… sort of maid, of course.
[He tugs a little at his collar. A flash of red appears for a split second?]
#Concept: bikini maid.
!!!!
Hasebe-kun, you are a beautiful, glorious genius.
-He thinks for a second that he can see something tucked away under Kikkou’s clothing, but his outburst encourages him. He shouldn’t be encouraged--actually, he should be docking the boat, which he remembers to do at the last second. But his enthusiasm causes him to bolt up in the process.-
I would love nothing more than to be waited on you in that manner.
I think we need to further explore the idea of bikini maids--surely there are bikinis crafted in such a way? Or... I suppose there’s probably lingerie in such a fashion.
But one is suitable for use near water, the other would just be kind of a pain to clean, I think.
Whatever kind of maid you wish to be, I support you earnestly!
zokuzokushitekitayo:
Well, when you put it like that…
[How to get around the ropes. Does Hasebe know? Should he tell him? Are they at That Level yet. Is he prepared for the depth of Kikkou’s pure, utter filth. Maybe soon.]
There’s something we could do, then. We can both go shopping for bikinis. If you were with me, why… I think I might be a bit less shy about trying them on in the store. You’ve got quite a lot of experience with bathing suits, so I’ll be in your care…
Mm? Do I like maids…
[He vibrates a little. He could say anything and it’d sound convincing, like oh, I just think they’re neat, or they’re so cute, aren’t they, but that wouldn’t be the truth. No, the long and skinny of it is far, far darker, and he isn’t sure if Hasebe is ready to know about this side of himself just yet.]
[And yet. The first thing that comes out of his mouth–]
I desire to emulate them.
I want to be… an alluring maid.
-That’s more enthralling than anything else he could have said. He’s not at all shaming that choice. He can’t shame anything Kikkou does, honestly, because everything is good.-
We’re going to a maid cafe, definitely, then. If you want to see on the field maid experiences, I think this is the only place we can travel to. Be it for myself or for your own master, it should be interesting seeing this era’s maids in practice.
I’m intrigued about the venture in general, but if it’s something you’re excited about, I’m happy to learn more.
...
Plus the outfits are cute, from what I’ve seen.
zokuzokushitekitayo:
[Well, this is good. He settles in against him easily, letting his shoulders sag with a sigh.]
Oh, I certainly could. I’ve been dying to know more about her, but… it’s hardly a servant’s place to inquire too deeply, isn’t it? Whatever she offers me, whenever she offers it… ah, it’s like being given a precious jewel. Like little pearls that tell me more about her…
Ah–but listen to me go on like this…
The Americas are quite mysterious, in any case… guns and bikinis aside. It would be nice to wear a bikini sometime, though I doubt I have the body for it.
[That’s just a friendly way of saying but my ropes, what about my ropes]
Perhaps we could go to a maid cafe, or a department store. Or both?
LET NOTHING STAND IN THE WAY OF YOU AND A BIKINI, KIKKOU.
I mean we could probably browse department stores for something cute to pick up. If you’re shy about trying it on in store we could just... eye it or... something. Get an idea about the goods to procure. Online shopping is quite amazing.
...
........
Do you like maids.
-That’s not jealousy, that is like the Metal Gear Solid alert sound going off in his head should he know about this then again it’s going into a cafe with people all saying “Welcome home, goshujinsama!” it would be startling hearing that being directed at Kikkou let alone himself like how does he got to be master when there is master if he’s goshujinsama and Kikkou’s goshujinsama then who is flying the plane.-
zokuzokushitekitayo:
We can go about it at our own pace, of course–and if nothing else, we have our phones? Though a book would have more in terms of streamlined information…
[He stands up, being careful as he walks over to stand at Hasebe’s side.]
I believe it’s Italy, yes… I’ve hardly ever been anywhere besides my home citadel and yours–oh, and under the sea, as well now. Goshujinsama might know a bit about it–as well as America, since she hails from there originally.
Oh, yes, I remember… my former master was a bit more traditional, but I hear he wielded a matchlock rifle better than anyone. Mastery in both the way of the sword and the way of the rifle… ah, I’m getting nostalgic.
I also hear that the Americas have quite a lot of… um…
Guns and… bikini-clad… humans. And balls.
[All he knows is what he’s seen in Sports Illustrated.]
-He steadies Kikkou as he comes to sit with him, making sure he doesn’t have part three in his ocean adventure.-
I forgot that your master’s from there--we could--or, you could, I’m not sure it’s my place to ask her... You could ask her about it and if there are good places? Or something like that?
... That’s...
About all I know, too? Really brightly colored dyes in their sweets? I think that’s something else I’ve seen in movies and stuff that we salvaged around the island.
With that said, we could always go to somewhere nice in Tokyo itself to start with?
zokuzokushitekitayo:
[Seeing him relax even a little sends a wave of relief washing over him. Smiling into his palm, Kikkou leans back, watching the waves lap at the boat and feeling the ocean spray lick at his skin.]
That’s true–I had only thought of an onsen because I am so used to them… oh, can you even imagine what a Western resort would have in place of that? It’s so exciting…
Ah–that’s true! We could go to America or Europe… I wonder which one would be nicer… maybe there’s a book store we could window shop in that would tell us more!
I’m sure there is--we can check on the train ride into the city, maybe?
I completely forgot that European countries are so close together--so we wouldn’t be limited to that one... It’s Italy, right? Logistically speaking it might be much but we could ask the neighbors or something?
-Given the nature of temporal shenanigans and bullshittery, the ride to shore is relatively fast--he can already see the familiar shores of Japantly/Nihotalia before them.-
My former master always had a fascination with Europe... I’m kind of intrigued, myself. But he would have never dreamed of the Americas, too. They have guns there? Lots of guns. That’s about the extent of my knowledge.
zokuzokushitekitayo:
[Kikkou rests his cheek in his palm, watching him. The way he effortlessly goes about navigating is fascinating.]
Oh, I’m quite open to any sort, really–
Ohh, a Western resort…! I hadn’t even considered that! I’ve only ever seen them in advertisements and such… can you just imagine, Hasebe-kun? You and I, in one of those master bedrooms… or on a balcony, sipping at imported wine…
[He moans a little. God, Kikkou, keep it together.]
We’ll have to look for one!
-He flashes a bit of a smile, a little more at ease now--even visibly so.-
Well, I thought about it for a second, and both of our homes are more on the traditional side of things. Maybe not one too far away, but we can access Tokyo proper from your place--then there are the places where Japan intersects with other parts of the world. We have at least two other countries at our disposal at least.
We can probably find a book on the matter at least?
zokuzokushitekitayo:
[He feels dizzy on his feet from that kiss, however brief and sweet it was. He sighs dreamily, waiting for him patiently and following along obediently once he returns. He’s far more used to travel by boat than by swimming himself, at least, so he settles in rather quickly.]
It’s certainly not unpleasant–not on you, at least. I’ve grown fond of it that way. On me? It’s simply… well, like wearing a fragrance that doesn’t suit me.
… I would like that a lot, actually. Perhaps we could find a nice hotel to stay in… maybe one with an onsen?
-Once the boat is ready, he’s clearly adept at navigating it by now. Been at this for years, there’s no escape for him now.-
Is that the kind you’d like to stay in, then?
I thought you might be more for the Western-style kind? The big sort of resort-like ones, for example.
zokuzokushitekitayo:
[A wink.]
It’s quite fascinating. We can do all that and much more, if you’d like?
[He takes his hand gladly, going a bit over the top to press a quick kiss against the back of Hasebe’s hand as he stands.]
Ah, that’s a relief. Honestly, I’ve smelled of nothing but the ocean for these past few days… the less I look like a wet dog, the better.
-That’s surprisingly romantic? He smiles a bit before brushing his own lips to Kikkou’s cheek. He only briefly departs to notify his master of their brief sojourn to the mainland, and when he returns, he’s already taking him to the boat. He’s quick to work, having made the boat ride dozens of times now to Kikkou’s home citadel.-
I don’t think I could get away from the smell of the sea if I tried--but I understand entirely? It took a lot of getting used to.
Maybe next time, with some more planning, we could actually... have an overnight trip somewhere, if you wanted. Nothing involving you having to get worn out like you did.
shimasaniwa:
Ah… melon or green tea, please. Something green.
Oh– One more thing.
[He tugs at Hasebe a little and stands tall to give him a kiss to the cheek.]
Have fun on your date!
-He leans down, receiving the kiss and returning the hug.-
Of course, I have committed those to memory.
Something suitably green. Please, though, remember to stay hydrated while I am gone as not to repeat yesterday’s incident.
zokuzokushitekitayo:
It kills me to let you out of my lap, ah… but we can resume this later, as well.
[He gives one last stroke of his hand against the crown of his head, letting him get up.]
Oh no, that’s what I was thinking, as well? We can window shop, stop for a snack or coffee… whatever you’d like to do. I’ve done quite a lot of research into this sort of mortal phenomenon–I’ve taken notes?
[He pulls out his phone, and–oh my god he really has.]
-That kind of preparedness turns him on.-
I never really get to look into those sorts of things--I perhaps could now, given the circumstances. We can do all of those things if you’re up to it.
-He stands up before offering Kikkou his hand.-
Fortunately, if we take the boat, we won’t have to worry about swimming all the way back, I imagine.
shimasaniwa replied to your post: I am going out for a bit, do you need anything,...
Ah, uhm… Can you get ice cream? And maybe peanut butter?
Of course, Master. I shall bring some home. Any particular flavors?
I am going out for a bit, do you need anything, Master?
