[001] working after hours

[complexing]

[Here's a place you wouldn't expect Touya to be: on a roof.]

[He's looking a little different today, too. Specifically, he has a rather large pair of black wings in addition to his small ones, and his hair is significantly longer (read: it drags). He's surveying the village, looking for anyone who looks as though they may need help, protection, et cetera.]

[And, of course, he's looking for his dearest Yue. Touya can sense him, certainly, but he'll wait to make his presence known after Yue realizes he's there. They shared the same blood, after all--it was only a matter of time before Yue came to see him.]

[But until then, he's content to talk to anyone at all. His strength has rapidly returned since his illness, after all.]



((Touya has been AU'd from a fic where Yue turns him into a guardian. Have fun kids. ♥))

[He doesn't know Touya, but anyone standing on a roof with wings that large deserves at least a passing glance.

Especially in this weather. Sanji slows down, brow already caught in a mid-arch]

[Touya looks down, watching Sanji crossing the road, and smiles when he realizes he's being watched. He spreads his wings to their full span (which yes... is nearly as wide as the house) and drops in a controlled glide down to where the other man is.]

Need help with anything?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

No, I'm good on this end.

[Why does HE get the awesome wings? Sanji's almost jealous]

But not everyday I see a wing span like that.

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

[Touya laughs.] Yeah, it'd be a little hard to walk around a house like this. It was pretty bad just getting out of the bedroom.

[He smiles and tilts his head a little to the side.] I haven't met many people here. ...well, I don't really know anybody here but Yue. I'm Touya.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Ah. I see. You're a New Feather.

[He smirks lightly at the description of dealing with those wings]

Welcome to Luceti. The name's Sanji.

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm new. I got here... [He thinks.] Four days ago? Maybe five. It all kind of blurs together.

[Possibly because his darling wasn't there, as far as he remembers. Maybe he was...? If Yue was around, no doubt they were living a happy, joined life. So why worry about the details?]

How long have you been here Sanji? Oh, I'm not keeping you from anything, am I?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Time here does that. [If only Sanji realized he was joined to the Icy Asshole he met briefly over the journals]

No, you're not. I still got another few hours before heading back to Seventh Heaven.

[As for that last question, he almost winces. He's been hearing it a lot] Almost a full, shitty year.

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

Woah, a year? [Touya blinks in surprise. He supposes that it is indeed possible to be here for as long as these Malnosso people want them there.]

That's pretty long... What's Seventh Heaven?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

I know people who have been here for three or four.

And it's my restaurant.

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

You own a restaurant? [Touya's expression brightens.] I used to work in a restaurant. [Or seven.] What sort of cuisine do you serve there?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[His interest in wing man has just skyrocketed]

Whatever man can dream up. [wide grin] But I specialize in East Blue cuisine.

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

East Blue... I haven't heard of that, but it sounds interesting. Where is it? I'll try to stop by!

[Going out to eat might help Yue unstick his memory. They did it all the time, after all--lunch, work at the same restaurant sometimes...]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

One of those buildings near the fountain. Between the bar and the clinic.

And you've got nothing but shitty time here. I'd be surprised if you couldn't.

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well... [Touya laughs nervously.] I've just gotten here, so my boyfriend and I are trying to set up our house and all the furniture and things. But after we're done I bet I could come by!

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Huh... lucky. [his brow darts up] You both arrive at the same time?

[guardiancomplex.livejournal.com]

About that, yeah. I think I got here a few days after he did. Guess that is lucky, huh? [He smiles.] Do you have anybody here?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Sanji stuffs his hands in his pockets]

Yeah, my crew. We all came at different times, but we're living together now.
