complexing | [APPOINTMENT POST] suit and tie

[Rough luck, buddy.]

[Touya comes out of the bedroom, in his robe, scratching his head and holding a slip of paper. It's still early enough that Touya thinks that whoever this 'guest' is, they aren't up yet. After all, not everybody has a job to get to.]

[It's a little annoying though. This was his house as much as it was Yue and Yuki's. What was so dire that this person couldn't go back to their own house?]

[God he hoped he wouldn't be mopping vomit out of the bathroom, but Yue didn't seem to have the patience for that. Touya looks over at the door to the bathroom though--]

[And he nearly drops the note because okay really big wings suddenly and Yuki's still in bed, he's sure he was just there. It's just the last vestiges of sleep confusing him though. Obviously this 'guest' is blonde. And male. And beautiful.]

[And suddenly yes, Touya is wishing Yue had woken him up to ask first because this feels a little underhanded...]

Hi. [He turns the note around. It reads, 'There is a guest in the upstairs bedroom.'] I'm guessing this refers to you?

[ askjndafsjfsksf

reyson nearly leaps out of his skin at the voice, whipping around to face the source and oh, this guy doesn't look too happy. not that reyson can blame him - he just woke up. to this.. big winged guy in his house. that isn't yue.

if only he had risen five minutes earlier this would not have happened. ]

Err.. yes. I apologize if I woke you-

You didn't. [Touya looks at the guy--which, to everyone but Yuki and Yue, looks like he's angry or cold, but it's just the way Touya's face is.]

[Not that he wasn't annoyed. What was so special about this guy? Aside from the blond and the wings and the pretty and the magic (most likely). Besides all of those things, Touya was just as good a companion, probably better. They had kissed after--]

[...was this stranger now in their house because Touya couldn't get it together and 'show them the depth of his feelings' ~~if you know what I mean~~? And now Yue was feeling unfulfilled and had to go to some pretty, nancy-boy, stick-with-wings--]

[A muscle goes in Touya's face.] Do you eat?

[ oh jesus. reyson generally doesn't use his thought-reading powers for evil, but it's not really something that he can turn off either.

and this guy's feelings. wow. um. reyson's eyes flit toward the front door. why don't herons have magical evaporating powers? this is all very awkward, but reyson is too courteous to just go storming out without answering his ques--

-- wait what kind of a question is that. ]

.. Pardon?

[ THIS GUY..... ]

[...HAS VERY RATIONAL REASONING FOR ASKING SEEMINGLY RANDOM QUESTIONS.]

Do you eat? Food. [He holds up the note again.] Yue doesn't eat, I was asking if you do.

[Because honestly, it isn't this poor guy's fault that Touya is now officially a terrible boyfriend ~~BUT HE PROBABLY DIDN'T DISCOURAGE ANYTHING EITHER~~. And Touya wasn't petty enough to throw one of Yue's friends out because he was upset and jealous.]

[He'll feed him, then throw Wingstick out. That was polite, kind of.] I was going to make breakfast.

[ n-no wingstick is just going to. politely. decline. because wingstick knows when wingstick is not wanted okay. ]

Oh! Um, yes, I eat, but.. ah, that's all right. I won't take up any more of your time, and my diet is - well, very strict.

[ why is everyone in this place so cranky all the time.. is it a beorc thing? ike was never this crabby, even in the mornings, and he was practically raised in a barn. ]

But thank you, for the offer.

[ the door.. it's so far......... ]

[It's the sound of voices that rouses Yukito, and he blinks a moment before remembering— last night. Yue. And his friend, talking up on the roof. That's right.

And apparently Touya had run into him? Oh, dear.

He heads out of the bedroom in his pajamas, not even bothering to find a robe, and absently pushes his glasses into place as he stifles a yawn. He doesn't have far to go to find the pair, and his vaguely sleepy expression quickly turns into a bright smile as he nods to Reyson before resting a light hand on Touya's arm.]

Good morning, Reyson-san. Did you sleep well?

[What was worse than not eating at all? Restrictive diet, probably. Touya could work around that, but apparently Wingstick wasn't giving him a chance to. He seemed awfully nervous.]

[Something happened.]

[Touya stares, silent, at the stranger. Not moving into the kitchen, not saying 'Oh I insist', nothing. Just staring, and trying to decide what to do next. Because honestly, he didn't know what to do or think. He was too hurt to know.]

[Yuki saves Wingstick from more intense staring, though Touya was really geared up to just stare him out the door. He looks down at Yuki's hand on his arm, then back to 'Reyson-san', resuming the staring.]

[ .. this is just going from bad to worse.

--- and who is this guy!? yue made it sound like he only had one roommate. ]

Ahh- I'm sorry, do I know you..?

[ and goodness that man is RUDE, reyson sighs and runs a hand over his face. this is awful. ]

Edited 2012-04-27 05:53 (UTC)

...oh, that's right. Yue-san didn't tell you, did he?

[And Yukito will just be here beaming cheerfully as though there's absolutely no tension in the room whatsoever. It's a lovely morning, everyone! Let's enjoy it!]

I apologize, we should start with introductions. Touya, this is Reyson. He's Yue-san's friend and he needed a place to stay last night.

Reyson-san, this is Kinomoto Touya, the one Yue-san told you about. And I'm Tsukishiro Yukito. I'm—

[He pauses for a moment there, tilting his head a little with a thoughtful air. —the one Yue-san didn't tell you about?

This could be complicated.]

I'm, ah. Yue-san's... other self.

[And he will be rude until he's damn well ready to not be rude. Not even the note that Yue talked about him stops him from staring in that same intense way. There really isn't much he can say or wants to say anyway. He's never talked about Yue and Yuki's nature with anyone--it wasn't his place to interject.]

[He inclines his head briefly at the introduction and makes a noise in the back of his throat, but it looks a less like a bow and more like he has rigor mortis. Touya does have the urge to take Yuki's hand and hold it there, just to make things more obvious, but he isn't going to be clingy or cliche or tug Yuki around like he was some sort of thing.]

[ now that the shock and embarrassment is wearing off, reyson can feel the irritation bubbling up in his chest; back in phoenicis guests would never have been treated with such hostility regardless of the circumstances. were it not for yue's hospitality he just may have told him off right here, but-

-.. well, all of that shock is coming right back. this is just the morning of bizarre happenings, isn't it? ]

It's a pleasure to meet you both, but.. you're..

[ ...... ]

I'm afraid I don't understand.

[ yue all of this is all your fault. ]

[It really is all his fault, isn't it? Fortunately the tension (and a silent appeal from his other half) rouses the sleeping guardian, who is even less cheerful than usual at being disturbed. Yukito barely has time to widen his eyes in surprise before a pair of wings rise from his back, outlined in incandescent light, then wrap around him.

A moment later the white-feathered cocoon opens to reveal Yue, his expression so very neutral that it has to be masking something. He gives Reyson a slightly stiff nod in greeting, then glances toward Touya with a slight arch of one pale brow.]

There seems to be some confusion?

Edited (phoooooone ihu) 2012-04-27 17:08 (UTC)

[Yeah there's definitely confusion, but Touya isn't going to explain it. ~~Nor is he going to point out that he understood it the first time he saw Yue, that would be petty.~~ He steps back, a little startled himself when Yue makes an appearance (which does take Yuki's hand off his arm and that makes him frown a little).]

[But probably even more awkward is the fact that there are two men with giant wingspans in this tiny house. Touya looks around the small space they're all having this meeting in and notes that it's distinctly... cramped.]

You didn't tell him about Yuki. I think that's grounds for confusion when he wakes up and you're nowhere. [Touya raises an eyebrow back. Why yes, Yue, he does look a little annoyed at you. That's a new and different thing.]

[ ~~that just means you're a simple man who doesn't question the world around you okay~~

anyway wow okay transformation isn't really a big deal to him, being a laguz and all it's just about second nature, but transforming into an entirely different person? can't say he's ever seen something like that before.

his green eyes flit from yue, to touya, then to yue again. maybe this is just a big awkward nightmare and he'll be waking up again any moment. ]

Yes, I- err. I suppose I understand, now.

[ honestly it raises more questions than the answers it provides, but those are better left for another time. ]

Edited 2012-04-27 21:26 (UTC)

[Yue gazes at Touya evenly for a long moment, then inclines his head slightly and turns back to Reyson, taking a step forward (with wings furled tight against his back, because he is inside).]

My apologies. Perhaps I should have mentioned... but I hadn't expected it would be an issue.

[Nor that allowing him to sleep in an empty room would be an issue, really. It wasn't as though Reyson was moving in or anything, and he had left a note. What was the problem?]

[Touya rolls his eyes slightly. Yes, not an issue. Suddenly turning into another person wasn't an issue at all. Bringing someone Touya doesn't know into their space in the middle of the night when he was sleeping and couldn't even agree, wasn't an issue. Gosh Yue, Touya loves you, but sometimes...]

Yukito is Yue's other self, but they both hear everything the other does. Most of the time. So Yukito knows who you are too.

[Which means yes, he's the only one out of the loop.]

[ reyson is struggling between anger for how inhospitably he's been treated, and guilt for how much he has clearly disrupted the flow of this home. this man may be acting unnecessarily hostile, but reyson suppose that, in some ways, he cannot blame him.

either way, he feels personally at fault. he never should have gone out last night. ]

I .. see. [ yeah he still has a lot of questions, but they can wait. he'll just have to accept this for what it is, for now. ] Regardless, I apologize if I-- err, woke you.

[Yeah yeah you try being raised by an eccentric hermit of a magician and see how many common social mores you grasp, Touya.

Yue drifts a bit closer to Reyson, feathers ruffling slightly with the mild agitation he can't quite manage to hide. It would seem that he'd done something wrong, though he isn't entirely certain what and most definitely does not want to take the blame for it, but he knows that he doesn't want to alienate his new... acquaintance.

Friend, Yukito corrects in a whisper, and Yue's wings flick lightly to dismiss the thought.]

I... regret the confusion. And I can offer explanations at a later time, should you wish it.

[Hey. Hey. He tried to feed you, Reyson. The last time he tried to feed a guy with big wings, he ended up in a bunny suit. This is a big deal.]

[And now that Yue, the authority on his and Yukito's situation, has offered to explain, Touya's going to disengage and maybe, oh, put a shirt on and make breakfast for himself (since everybody else doesn't want to eat).]

[ YEAH. WELL. ... YOU'RE A BUTTFACE OKAY!!1

-- oh no where is he going? reyson shoots him a momentary glare, then immediately regrets it; his temper is bubbling close to the surface, but it won't do the make enemies. especially not if he plans to remain acquaintances - friends - with yue.

and so the glare crumples, and reyson sighs, his shoulders slumping. ]

It's nothing. I overreacted. I apologize.

[ BAH. ]

[Yue halfway turns his head to make note of Touya's departure, though he says nothing of it. He isn't at his best in the mornings to begin with, and today he's in a rather unpleasant mood and not inclined to be terribly talkative, though... Reyson's apology does seem to reduce at least some of his agitation.]

You should be safe to return home, now that it's light out. If... you did not wish to stay for breakfast.

[It isn't that he's trying to kick you out or anything, really. It's just that maybe this discussion should be held at a later time and he's grasping to change the subject quickly.]

[Yeah, yeah--whatever Reyson. He's hungry and wants to be clothed. Glare away, he's never phased.]

[Touya reemerges, finishing pulling down a t-shirt and wearing slippers now. He might not have been able to get Reyson to stay for breakfast, but Yue might. He heads into the kitchen to start the food--either way, he's going to eat.]

Am I cooking for Yukito too? [He asks as he opens the refrigerator.]

[ hey hush he isn't glaring anymore.

instead he's struggling internally, attempting to decide which would be more discourteous - declining breakfast, or sticking around. well, refusing the offer seems ungrateful, but accepting means more of this painful awkwardness.

there is no right answer.

but eventually reyson gives in. clearing his throat, he shoots yue an apologetic glance, then steps toward the kitchen. ]

Do you need any help?

[ he can make a mean fruit salad okay. ]

[Yue meets Reyson's look with a small nod, some of his visible tension fading as he turns back toward the kitchen himself.]

I certainly have no intention to eat.

However—

[He cuts off for a moment, drawing his wings about himself in a rush of incandescent light, and then Yukito blinks, smiles, and finishes the sentence.]

—give me just a moment to change, and I'll help as well.
