well, he won't tell her which he's going to be choosing as his option, but at least with some sort of instruction he can look at the wares with a bit more of an eye. ]
I'll keep an eye out then. [ ... ] Is it alright if I get something for my brother too?
[ since. HiMERU's room is probably no better, and kaname wants to find something matching. ]
no subject
( he absolutely adores yodaka, after all. )
...He's soooo cute about you, ( she adds, looking over some fabrics. ) You know when we had that party at the tavern a few weeks ago? He barely kept his eyes off of you. We talked a little bit about you, too—all good things, I promise.
( this red is nice, but the feel of it is a little... she passes over it, how about this white...? if it's just for accents it should be fine...? )
And you're like, so cute about him. ( glancing over, casual, casual, quiet— ) The first time you ever met each other was on the island, right? No wonder you two are so head-over-heels for one another! In like, a family-sense.
( this isn't even about what yodaka told her. this is about what HiMERU's let slip. )
no subject
he flushes at the beginnings of narukami's talk, though, biting a grin threatening to split his face in two as he very much focuses on the task at hand. he had? ah, of course he'd caught HiMERU's eye every now and then, but to be watching the whole time...? kaname pushes his hair behind his ear, the shorter strands falling despite his effort, and his hand lingers on his warm cheek. ]
... Mmhmm. We'd only spoken over the phone before that, [ but he doesn't seem any less happy, ] so I was... rather surprised by how alike we looked. I was happy, though. Since I knew we were brothers.
[ it's different than how narukami's concerned by how alike they look. kaname's enthralled. in love with it. proof, physical proof, that they're brothers -- and he stills as he thinks of the way HiMERU had looked at him when kaname had mentioned their relation, how he hadn't thought the same at first sight, how he'd been asked to prove it...
... but it turned out okay, didn't it? he presses his lips together, shaking his head. it turned out okay. they'd held hands and gone to the church, they'd talked and gone home, they'd made dinner together and-- there had been a lot of tears, but kaname had been tired and hungry and exhausted in a thousand ways all of them having to do with the man who'd carried him to their temporary home. but it was fine.
it was fine, it's fine, it's fine. ]
... He's far more affectionate than I thought he'd be, [ a little hesitantly. ] He always seemed... more distant on the phone, far busier. My brother wasn't one to waste time or words if he could help it, but he did always listen. No matter how long I talked, he listened.
[ kaname just can't pinpoint, exactly, the cut off times. when he became too pushy, right? too affectionate? it happened here, too -- and he obeyed the commands immediately, tucking away every scrap he still had to give to his brother. for another time, for never. ]
Maybe it was just our distance that'd been the problem. And the island itself, of course -- I don't think I'll be able to monopolize my brother as much as I did prior.
no subject
( yeah, his brother will probably be out doing his old man activities, but he gets to wake up every morning and see him; the nest isn't so big that they won't see each other in passing; they have meals together; and they can say good night, too. it's wonderful. )
How does this feel? ( passes over a sample... ) I like the thickness--good for winter and it'll be stiff enough for a suit, I think ♪ You're gonna look so dashing, Yodaka-chan.
no subject
it's fine. he slides up his sleeve, since narukami knows what lies beneath it anyway faint as they are compared to amagi's own, and rubs the fabric against it, humming softly. ... he would be able to monopolize his brother at home, but should he? kaname'd done his best to keep from being overly clingy, even at the risk of seeming uncertain and shy, but... it really was too tempting.
like he's six rather than sixteen, wanting to be spoiled by the older brother he loved so much, so easily.
... ]
It's fine. I'd like something softer on my skin, but there isn't much you can do with suit material in that way. Do we really have to do hearts?
no subject
( feathers is another choice, for cupid's wings, but those would look worse than hearts, and there's no way she Isn't putting him in some sort of pattern. it's trendy. maybe it's a little too mean, but on the other hand, maybe it isn't. )
How often did you two call? What did you talk about? Oh, if that's too personal, just disregard it—I love gossip, but I'm not like, a snoop.
( ? yes she is )
no subject
Daily. He asked how my work was going, and I would tell him about my day. Sometimes we would talk briefly about other things, if I had the mind to ask, [ if he had the courage to broach topics that weren't just business, ] but for the most part... it wasn't anything personal at all.
[ ... not particularly close, for all he crows about it to HiMERU himself. surely his brother knows. has known. ]
I loved talking to him, though. [ quieter. ] Even if it was only that. Even if it was just through texts, some days. I liked hearing his responses.
[ knowing someone was there. wanted to be there. ahh, it's too bad he doesn't remember. ]
no subject
I'm sorry. ( for the things he doesn't want to touch and that she isn't going to press right now. ) It sounds so lovely though...♪ My family'll ask me about work every so often, too, but definitely not as often as yours.
( family. she wonders how they're doing—it's not like she's overly close with them, but it isn't as bad as it used to be either... this fabric is nice, though, she'll check how much she needs and make a note. )
I don't know that we'll be able to get anything too sheer, so maybe I should scrap that part of it...? Ooh, but I don't really know if I want to bare my shoulders like that while it's still pretty chilly...
no subject
[ probably. at the very least, ala's hot air will keep everyone warm. but good she moved on, since
yeah he doesn't want to touch her "i'm sorry" since he knows what it's about, even if he wishes she didn't, and it sits like a rock in his stomach. ]
If you're bothered, then I'll just give you my jacket.
no subject
Actually, I sort of lied when I said it was a small event... ( ...☆ ) Most of everything's going to be outside.
( tehepero )
Anyway, I totally wouldn't want to ruin your aesthetic, but... Thanks for the offer, dear.
no subject
I'm not doing it.
[ he doesn't have a choice. ]
no subject
( he doesn't have a choice. )
no subject
[ seriously!!! complaining and whining and at the same time saying oh, i'm fine, it's just a little cold, don't worry so much!!!! he can imagine it and it all sounds like a pain in the ass. ]
No ands, ifs, or buts about it. Am I clear?
no subject
If you weren't so forceful about it, I'd say you were being such a gentleman right now... ( forceman... ) I guess you're leaving me with nooo choice though, so fine. Thank you very much, Yodaka-chan.
no subject
[ not his problem you wanna be cold smh ]
That wasn't so hard, was it? You're welcome. We're living together, so it's the least I can do.
[ ... be a fussy mother hen... ]
no subject
Well, don't make it sound like such a chore. You could've said no, and I'd have found somewhere else to stay.
( because... she's not really the priority here. that's why it had been a nice offer. )
no subject
[ he hadn't the right, firstly. if she wanted into their space, then... after what he'd done, it was the least he could do. ]
My brother offered. I already go against one of his wishes, I hadn't wanted to go against another. You're fine as you are.
no subject
he is here to carry her stuff, after all!! )
Nooow... We need to get some white, and I wanted a deeper red for my dress... ( some thread would be good too, not to mention other supplies... the trade school in town probably has those though, right? they'll just go there to work on things. ) I wonder if it'll look alright on me, really... I guess as long as it's tailored right, it should be fine, even with my build...
no subject
Why wouldn't they look good on you? Your confidence should outshine any doubts you have.
[ ... he knows why, of course. when she'd blown up at him earlier, he'd heard it; but he still doesn't see why. or rather, he doesn't care. so neither should she. ]
As I said before, you have fine legs; a skirt like that will look good with them. Though I suppose you might be more concerned with your shoulders.
no subject
( sarcasm. anyway, )
As a model, I'm just extra conscious about how everything falls on me, alright? ( and she's never worn a dress before; they're always those types of clothing she stares at briefly before she moves on and picks out something she likes just as much. it doesn't really bother her—or it used to bother her a lot more—but she'd sort of, maybe, wanted to try something a little different here.
maybe she should just go with a suit instead, though. no troubles with that. ) Pluuus, there's a ton of other things to consider... It's not that I don't think I couldn't reasonably pull it off, but like, there's a lot to think about. You'd understand if you were trendy, dear, I promise.
no subject
[ ... which is a casual, breezy thing to let slip, but he focuses on his steps. one at a time. one at a time. ]
... Let's go to a shop and try some on. Perhaps I'll understand your "concerns" then.
[ if he's not "sensitive" enough. god. he thinks he was plenty sensitive? he doesn't see a thing wrong with what he said... ]
no subject
You just want an excuse to put those down, don't you? ( a light tease. ) I can't believe you're tired already... But alright, we can do that.
( a nice clothing shop, then... she knows a few places, so along they go. )
What kind of style do you like then?
no subject
[ thank you. ... mm, the sort of style he likes.
he does want to wear cool stuff... "HiMERU"'s aesthetics aligned with what the thought was elegant and amazing too, so he was happy to have the chance -- and it suited his appearance, so that makes it all the better. but the sort of thing he wants to wear... mmmmm... ]
I don't know. I wore mainly what I was instructed to, so I never gave it much thought. [ whether it be his mother dressing him, the caretaker's feeble efforts, or cospro's words. ] I'm used to more cutting edge designs however, the sort that...
[ ... how's he put it... ]
It fits my form well.
[ tailored... cinched... something like that. ]
So I'm comfortable [ in a way ] with that. That's different than being happy with something, though.
no subject
Then when we're shopping, you can pick out one thing that's comfortable and one thing that'd make you happy to wear. No judgment unless it's an ugly pattern! ( ugly is subjective though. ) Ah—this one, this one ♪
( she wishes they had cuter shops, because those are her favorites, but what they do have is fine too she guesses. she ducks into one, making a beeline for the counter to talk a little; she's back at the front for yodaka in a moment though, grinning. )
They'll be okay with us trying stuff on for a bit and said we could leave our stuff with them... Go ahead and give all that to them and I'll get started on picking my outfit out, okay?
no subject
one thing that's comfortable for him, and one thing that would make him happy to wear... he's certain she'll do the same, so maybe he should push his boundaries too. hmmm.
what would... "HiMERU" wear. what would "kaname". what would "yodaka".
three different roles, three different people -- but at least he's assured of "kaname", since tatsumi knows him as that too. it makes the name a little more firm in his mind, a little less slack on his skin that from his brother (whom he loves, whom he trusts, but the man admitted to not having anything of his own in no uncertain terms).
well. he'll go around and look while narukami does the same, he'll find some outfits to call his own yet. ]
