[015] [action] increased responsibilities, no raise

[complexing]

[Touya's life guys. Touya's life.]

[It began simply enough: Yuki had come home, lugging a work costume Touya hoped he would never see again. 'Why don't you try it on?']

[The answer was also simple: 'Hell no.' The costume was hot, and the head was huge, and Touya didn't ever want to wear it again. It had been bad enough the one time. And then there was a bet made, and Touya thought he would never, ever lose.]

['You both conspired against me, I know it.' And Yuki had just smiled and held up the mascot head.]

[It's a special Thursday, Luceti. Because this is how Touya is dressed while he hands out balloons in the main square until sundown. After which he will be running home and vowing never, ever, to make a bet with his boyfriends ever again.]

It's... a long story. [Touya sighs and the bunny ears seem to droop.] I wore this for a job a while ago. Yukito likes it and he found it in the shop. So he made a fixed bet and I lost, so I have to wear the costume today.

[Ask a question, get an answer Emil.]

[knightofratatosk]

Wait, you mean he actually likes it when you wear that?

[YOU KNOW WHAT HE ISN'T EVEN GOING TO ASK. There are some things he doesn't want to know and that is one of them, okay.]

[complexing]

He thinks it's cute. I think I was the only guy at my job tall enough to wear it.

[No. No. THEY DON'T GO THERE OKAY. Even if they go into alleyways while Touya's dressed like this IT'S NOT LIKE THAT NOPE.]

[knightofratatosk]

It is kind of cute... um, not like that, I meant... you know, cute the way a bunny is cute.

[complexing]

Yeah I guess. It was a job. I've done weirder things. [Touya isn't even going to touch that clarification of terminology.]

Not that I object to cute things, but I think the costume was made to fit me on purpose. The girls at my work were definitely up to something.

... hearing that the girls from your job were responsible for it suddenly makes it make so much more sense. Girls are really strange sometimes.
