[deto]

[ oh, that way? he makes for that side of the hall ]

But easier to hide their expressions. Or if they feel weird about working here and don’t really want people to know.

[justonezero]

I-I think... if they're working here, they can't really be the type who would feel weird about it...

[To the elevators!]

[deto]

Like they’re desensitized? I guess. I wonder if they pay well…

[ glad they don’t encounter anyone else on their way to the elevator as he ponders that, and once the doors slide shut, he immediately leans against yoshi ]

You’re really cute today. Did I already say that?

[justonezero]

[Tilting his head questioningly - is Deto planning to get a job at one...?

The questioning turns back to a mix of embarrassment and excitement as he leans back.]

I think so? [Akira says it a lot, so he feels like he must have???]

I'm not even dressed up yet, either.

[deto]

[ deto’s planning to save a lot of money for their future. also, who knows maybe they give discounts if you work here - ]

Heh, sure, you look cute, too. [ but he wasn’t talking about clothes ] But you’re just - really cute. Dangerously cute.

[justonezero]

Eh- dangerous? How???

[deto]

You make me want to kiss you in front of little old ladies - that type of dangerous.

[justonezero]

...Oh.

That... That is pretty dangerous...

[deto]

Right.

[ even as he’s hitting the button for their floor with his elbow ]

… Would you let me?

[justonezero]

[/////////]

We really shouldn't.

...

But... p-probably...

[deto]

…

[ if he sways a little into yoshi, he can’t really be blamed after an answer like that. and honestly the warmth of their shoulders brushing gives him a boost of patience. just - a little longer ]

We’ll do it when we go to - to Paris or something. For our honeymoon or anniversary or - whatever. Everyone kisses there, right?

[justonezero]

[Perfectly reasonable, especially when Yoshi seems just as interested in closing what gap remains between them.]

I, um- I guess they do?

[He does not actually know enough about France to say either way. But he's so distracted by Akira, there's a noticeable startle when the elevator dings, announcing their arrival on their floor.]

[deto]

[ the sound makes something in his stomach jump. not - nerves. not really. excitement? the pre-game buzz of getting to rediscover intimacy together. he thinks if he lets it, the feeling will vibrate out of him eventually. he thinks he could do something cheesy like float

so he tugs yoshi out of the elevator and down the hall before he goes full shoujo because that’s too much, even for him ]

Is it weird that I know what you like, but we’ve never - we haven’t ever done this in person?

[justonezero]

[He's fine with this arrangement, glancing around to orient himself with the layout of room numbers.]

It's... a little weird, I guess. Especially how uh, accurate. It was. About me.

[deto]

But we gotta doublecheck to make sure.

[justonezero]

Um... Before or after I get changed?

[They'll have to decide soon, the door's right there.]

[deto]

I… don’t want to wait, so… can I help?

[ right, he’ll have to either drop yoshi’s hand or the bags to rummage for the keycard. so obviously he shoves their entwined hands into his pocket to awkwardly, stubbornly fish it out ]

[justonezero]

Wouldn't you just have to help me take it off- oh!

[Feeling his hand get tugged along in the search for the keycard, oops.]

[deto]

[ awkward and stubborn works ]

Cake and eating it, too.

[ the lock beeps green and the door clicks open ]

Maybe it’s because we aren’t together as much right now, so I dunno - I feel like I can’t get enough of you.

[ the door’s pushed open at this point, but deto’s looking at yoshi instead ]

Unless you wanna change privately? I’m good with whatever you pick.

[justonezero]

[It's hard to appreciate the room when Akira's so close, it's true.]

...You can help me put it on.

[Rearranging the bags in his hand so he can get the one with the actual outfit in it‐]

[deto]

[ a flash of a smile, eyes disappearing into his lashes. he takes the other bags from yoshi to make things easier for him, leading them both into the room proper. finally looking at the room.

it’s about what they expected, probably - an attempt at decorations that are kinda cute, kinda gaudy, kinda cheap. they’re half in a spaceship with wide fake windows, but the ceiling is full of stars. the bed is big and round at least, dressed up like the seat of a center command ]

I like the bed. [ baseball-shaped ]

[justonezero]

Oh- the stars are nice!

[Of course that's what he focuses on first! ...And second, trying to get the costume out of the bag.]

[deto]

Mm. [ they sure are stars, even if he thinks the most important one is hidden by yoshi’s fringe ] Can I start flirting while you dress?

[ he sits himself at the edge of the bed, reaching out ]

[justonezero]

I, uh. I don't see why not?

[Joining him on the bed while he gets out the costume and tries to make sense of the zippers and the ruffles and whatever the heck garters are actually used for. There's actually little clips on these??? Wild.]

[deto]

[ he pulls yoshi closer, arms loose around his waist. sneaks in a little kiss under his jaw even though what he really wants is to make out and undress him ]

Was gonna say - the only star I see is right here. Prettiest star.

[ … actually why not? while yoshi figures out the clothes, deto can make things efficient by undressing him. his hands slide under the hoodie… is it sexier to unzip or just pull it off all at once… decisions… ]
