"you can stand a little closer if you need to." he tilts the umbrella, held a ways to ensure leon is properly shielded from the downpour. it's usually never so viscious, the weather. "your train's due in another hour huh? don't be a stranger when you get back home."

     the umbrella eases some of the scattered rain drops that have started to soak through his jacket, but he’s not covered entirely. with a contemplative hum, he leans into raihan, squeezing them shoulder to shoulder ( well … shoulder to bicep, but whatever. height thing. ) and shoots the other a grateful smile. “ something like that. ” it’s a shame, really. he always enjoys these visits. it’s a happy, welcome break from the busy life of galar’s champion. he bites back a sigh at the thought of his newly updated schedule that rotom had pinged him in on earlier. ah well. he’s lucky he had this much time to himself as it is. “ i never am. ” a slow grin plays at his lip. he shoves at raihan’s side with his elbow, “ what’s the matter ?? miss me already ?? y’know, if you wanted another battle before i left, you coulda just asked. i’m always happy to oblige. ”

bumps his face against his hair. rubs his smell into him to find him later if he gets into trouble.

     They’re a cacophony of carnivores among a world of sick lambs. To think a man who barely knows the outer structures of how modern civilization works ( much less hard candy, what an experience that was; introducing Heine to the luxuries of artificial flavoring contained by cheap plastic could only be seen once ) would be left with Suzuya is beyond anything he could expect at this point. Currently they’re on the rooftop of a skyscraper– approximately 10 stories. It’s not the highest in his book of danger but certainly enough to enjoy car lights showing off the mock dance of fireflies far, far below.

    Even so, Heine sticks close by. Doesn’t get too close to the railing, he briefly wonders why that is.

  “ The city never sleeps, that’s why I like it so much. ” Always something to do, something to see, to eat. You’re never bored in Tokyo, that much he’ll admit. There’s high hopes that Heine’s time here has been fun solely because most of the things he’s seeing for the first time have been equally mutual for Suzuya.  “ ..Probably because I can’t afford to play hooky any longer. ” This is said with closed eyes and grins. Day shifts were grueling on his schedule, insomnia an unforgiving disease. He’s sure Heine can relate with how they both roam the streets so freely without a care in sight. Two dogs stuck under the thumbs of a corrupted watchman, maybe that’s why they’ve gotten so close in such little time.

  “ We both haven’t showered, so let’s head back-- I know I smell like guts right now. ”

      @houndbitten​ // raihan. stupid ass. 

        “ he’s been a bit moody lately. “ leon watches his charizard stomp off in a huff, tail kicking up sand and dust that leaves his dragapult hacking. “ maybe i should give ‘em a break. i’ve been working them overtime with this sudden dynamax thing. ” he rubs his chin, mindlessly adjusting his snapback in what’s more of a nervous tick than anything.  “ ‘course that might just make him more upset with me. ” his charizard pushes himself just as hard, if not more, than leon does normally -- they’re both champions, after all. “ -- or maybe i’m just overthinking it and he’s still mad i got off on the wrong stop two times heading over here. ” he pauses, a grin that’s equal parts unashamed and bashful. “ well. three times. hammerlocke is really too big, rai. ”

' you've done so much for me, but what can i do for you? ' giyuu....

   “ what are you going on about, huh ?? ” he’s perturbed only because the onigiri in his hands grows colder the longer he waits to eat it. for giyuu, after all, sabito always takes the time and he does so without any griping. well. most of the time. when he’s not asking such FOOLISH questions. sabito leans back on his free hand and heaves a sigh, “ seriously, you – when are ya gonna get it already ?? ” his head shakes, “ we’re friends, giyuu. you’re my best friend !! i’m not keeping score over here. ” his ever present smile is bright, despite his exasperated tone, but his eyes are plenty serious when he levels his companion with a familiar look, “ anything i do for you, i do it because i want to and i know you’d do the same for me. you have done the same for me a lotta the time. don’t discredit your hard work, giyuu. that’s an insult to you, me, and sensei – and you know how he gets. ” a laugh, soft and a clear call for an end to any further argument from his raven haired friend, and sabito bites into his food. it’s luke warm, but he’ll deal with it. “ now hurry up and eat so we can get back to training before we both get chewed out. ”
