[ The moment feels like a memory before the snap of the shutter. Shouto looks back at Allen with a kind and thoughtful look, the urge to kiss his smile prevalent in his mind. He nods instead, looking up at the angle of the camera. His smile fades to a whisper as his face settles into a quiet look of contentment that warms the dual tone of his eyes. Kizu raises her head just enough to look at the camera, mimicking her Sleeper. She's lost her spontaneity from when she was a newborn cub and stays back more and more, observing the world through a lens that seems to see beyond the physical world.

Beside them, Tim and Allen emit a lively atmosphere. Bright and cheerful, almost in contrast to their companions. Their joy takes on a physical form radiating from them just as steadily as Shouto's heat subtly wraps around them in a gentle embrace.

SNAP

A flash of light captures the moment in still life, losing the subtle graces of Allen's contagious joy or Shouto's heat. The way Tim almost shakes from excitement or the subtle way Kizu turns to look at the smaller omen a second before the picture is taken losing half the story with only a snapshot of the memory.

It's not the picture he cares for but the memory. ]


Thank you.

[ His head turns just enough to brush his lips against Allen's, giving in to the urge to kiss him. With the camera now out of the way, he smiles. ]

[ His laughter catches Kizu's eye. The same as her Sleeper who seems caught by the melody. It will always be his favorite song rivaled only by the morning songbirds that joined him most mornings by the river bank.

I like seeing you happy.

With the moon in his hair and the star at his temple, Allen brings the night inside, rivaling the morning sun. He brushes his hair back and returns the kiss, caught up in his tempo. ]

[ After the picture is taken, Kizu settles her head back down, curling her fluffy tail around her small frame. Her mismatched eyes follow Tim's sneaky movement, aware of that very tiny hand that eventually meets a solid form instead of passing right through her. Much like her Sleeper, she accepts the contact.

Shouto takes his cues from Allen, falling back alongside him. He takes a moment to catch his breath when that hand lands on his chest, drawing his eyes back up as the smile begins to recede. The gentle heat remains as his face falls back to its natural state with a hint of curiosity lighting his eyes.

The curious statement prompts him to take his hand between his palms, pouring heat into his hands to warm him up. ]


What's a proper Christmas?
swellter: (Emote: Side-Eye)

[personal profile] swellter 2023-02-08 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Grey and teal eyes settle on the golden golem. A few months back, she would have pounced on him the moment his clawed little hand extended out to her and made a mess of the wrapping paper in her pursuit of the elusive blur of metallic light. Now, she simply watches him with more awareness, a lot less distracted.

Shouto, too, keeps his eyes on Allen while he speaks, listening to his take on the holiday. Somehow, coming from a different world, he expected it to be different than what he saw on television. Christmas in the Todoroki household was an obligatory affair. Few decorations graced the walls of the estate. The sense of family and holiday cheer was all but absent with Fuyumi making an effort to make it at least somewhat tolerable for her younger brothers. ]


Should we bake cookies?

[ He asks, staying in the moment instead of being swept up by the past. He follows Allen's list, mentally checking off the ones they managed to hit without trying. He blinks at the mention of food, realizing all too late that he forgot to pick up breakfast. Is anything open?He's not quite sure. ]

Are you hungry?

[ They are most definitely claws to Kizu. Let him be fierce! Sleep takes her soon after Tim dozes off but unlike the small omen, Kizu disappears in a shower of golden light leaving no trace of her passing as she returns back inside her Sleeper.

He shrugs at the answer.

He's well aware of his own failings. There's a reason why every restaurant in a mile radius knows his face. He also witnessed Allen's failed attempts at baking not too long ago, so he's not ignorant on that front either. Still, the offer was genuine. It was the journey he cared about not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

He nods at the mention of dinner, completely missing the playful banter. The cheeky tap, tap, tap of his lips is odd, but he's used to the feeling by now, so it feels normal in that sense. ]


What about lunch?

[ The irony of ironies is that if he knew Allen was teasing him, he'd respond. Probably not in a typical manner, but he'd do more than sit there and let him tap at his mouth.

Did he think he was a fish? Because Shouto is familiar with the urge to tap at their mouths when they 'glug, glug, glug' at him from the surface of the water. The only reason he hasn't done it is the irrational fear of accidentally drowning them.

And breakfast and dinner. And brunch. Supper, too. He's well aware of Allen's endless appetite. Though the kiss throws him for a loop. He looks up, a question in his eyes. After a month of abstinence, he started to get used to the new normal. Having the goalpost shifted is going to take a while for him to get used to again when he started falling into the pattern of the initiate. ]


No.

[ He answers honestly, still watching him closely. ]

I can go check if anything is open.

[ He offers. The perk of being resistant to the cold. The idea of going outside doesn't bother him. Plus there's the fast travel aspect. ]

What would you like?

[ He never said it was a rational fear!

Allen, I hope you know when prompted, he will always choose a restaurant over his own cooking. He knows he's no good at it. Besides, Japan has a culture of eating out. It's easy to find healthy meals prepared with love and care. One day, he will show you the wonders of modern technology in the form of fully stocked vending machines with ready-made restaurant-quality sandwiches ready to eat with a press of a button and a few thousand yen.

Though... He will admit, nothing ever compared to his sister's cooking. He learned to expect little from his family early on, except Fuyumi. She was always there to give him a semblance of family, even if she couldn't always be there for him. He appreciated her efforts on a level he could never express. It's the same with Allen when he makes soba from scratch. He'll find Shouto lured in by the noise and staying for the pure fascination of watching him go through the process of making the noddles. He's always ready to offer any assistance, cleaning up after him and setting up the table without being prompted. The meals Fuyumi made back home were always prepared while he was at school, doing school work, or training. He often had to eat them alone, his only condolence was knowing it was made by her hand.

His brows crease when Allen sags against him and he sets a hand on his back, rubbing light circles to make his presence known. What's wrong? He wants to ask but keeps the question to himself, letting Allen come around to it at his own pace. When he tenses in his arms, Shouto wraps his arms around him instead, warming up to chase off the cold. He kisses the top of his head, while Allen threads their fingers together. His answer is a little vague for Shouto to fully grasp, and some parts of it get lost in translation, but he manages to decipher enough of it to understand his meaning.

Do you want to stay here?

He runs a hand through his hair in an affectionate manner, while he tries to recall the list of food they have on hand. ]


I can make something. [ He offers after a moment. ] Do you want something cold or hot?

[ They end up tangled up together more often these days. His form of showing affection lies with the circles he presses into his back. The kisses to presses against his cheek and the top of his head. The way he holds him when he grows anxious from the effects of his patron. His presence isn't domineering but subtle, careful not to hold on too long, always aware of his penchant for holding on too tightly. ]

Both of us?

[ He asks, blinking in a bit of surprise at the kiss to his ear. He's not used to his affectionate gestures anymore. It's distracting and he finds himself playing catch-up with the conversation. ]

I like cold.
swellter: (Heart: Look)

[personal profile] swellter 2023-02-14 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ His face goes blank, almost befuddled. It's such a simple concept. Together. His eyes slowly dissolve into something soft and warm, falling for the image of Allen's Christmas. ]

I'd like that.

[ He smiles to himself. From behind him, Kizu pounces on Tim, trapping him beneath her weight for half a second before she disappears in a golden light. She reappears across the room a second later, lazily walking across the sofa, fluffy tail flicking back and forth without a care in the world.

Sbhouto slips his larger hand over Allen's, turning it over to trace a delicate line down his wrist. ]


I'll make the cookies.

[ He offers, bending down to press a kiss against the edge of his palm, leaving behind a hint of heat. ]

[ The glare goes ignored along with the attack that sails Tim through smoke. The second attempt will land with Kizu flicking her tail. Once, then twice. Better hold on! His weight is inconsequential to her while her Sleeper sits up, letting go of Allen's hand. ]

No, but I have a book.

[ A pastry book that was part of a 'deal'. Two for the price of one, the vendor had told him, but it turned out it was more like two for the price of four. ]

I'll follow the directions.

[ He says matter of factly as his thoughts trail off at the close examination. He's silent throughout it, mismatched eyes on Allen not in question. Waiting to see what comes next before he decides how to address it. ]

Where do you want to put them up?
swellter: (Emote: Side-Eye)

[personal profile] swellter 2023-02-25 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Enchanted by the spree of delight, she leaps off the sofa, hitting the floor running and takes Tim on a ride straight through the house, scaring the koi when furry footsteps splash across the water without sinking, a ball of sunshine at the end of her long tail. The koi scurry into the deeper part of the bath, away from the footfalls that dash straight through the house and into the great outdoors for some fresh air. She always was an unruly one at heart.

Would it make you feel better that he doesn't actually listen to these 'deals' too busy contemplating whether he wants it or not. The cost is really inconsequential so long as it's not egregious, though he and Allen may have a difference of opinion on what constitutes that definition. Oh, well. This is why he shops alone.

His mouth parts slightly, lips tingling, hyperaware of that hand on his mouth as the seconds tick on. Few people ever touched him this long. A grab of his arm to drag him somewhere. A press of shoulders during lunch rush. A friend holding his hand to convey heartfelt words. One of the guys clapping a hand on his chest in the baths during winter when it got too cold and he was the only thing keeping it at bay. None of those ever lingered. He knew those. He grows warm. He was starting to know this too.

Allen tips his head, smiling before withdrawing and he's left feeling out of sorts. His breathing feels a little off, and he sucks in a breath when he catches that last line. He wanted to think about him there, too? Utterly confounded, he stares, feeling a little bare and exposed in a rare bout of self-awareness. ]
