Hey, so, I don't know my birthday.

(If you want to know why, click here for all the bg info you need)

How do you pick one?

[ No!!! Mom refuses 😡😡😡 ]

I feel like you're onto something suspicious...

[ Em, it better not have a dick on it or anything!!! ]

[unhappy]

Nothing suspicious! I just want you to wear something I picked out.

[ In this case, she actually just wants to be cute-gross instead of harass him. ]

[glorifies]

[ It's a nice sentiment! One that Akashi certainly can't refuse now that he knows what her intent is. ]

Alright. Can I do the same?

[unhappy]

I don't wear sweatbands really..

[ She holds up her hands though, showing him the backs. ]

Pick out new hand flower bracelets?

[glorifies]

[ He doesn't either, but he'll wear one for her at the gym!! ]

That's fine with me, although I can't say I'm good at picking out these kinds of things...

[unhappy]

[ ye but he's a sweaty boy. A remnant person never sweats. ]

Uhh.. just nothing too ornate. I like things simple. You can pick out something else if you want.

[ Get her real exercise shoes instead of heels. ]

[glorifies]

I'm simple.

[ So she should like him!! Plus he really is a simple boy. 😔 A simple... yet extra boy???? ]

[unhappy]

I know you are, but you're also flashy when you want to show off. And you like to impress me and it's cute.

[ She just means don't buy her one made of diamonds or something mostly. ]

[glorifies]

[ He lets out a little grumble at that. ]

... I don't want to be called cute. That's something you would call a child.

[unhappy]

I would never call a child cute, but if it helps, it's also flattering and makes me feel warm inside. That's a mouthful though.

[ She reaches up to find his fingers to play with them while they lay here, lightly massaging each one. ]

[glorifies]

I shouldn't get too comfortable.

[ But he kisses the back of her head softly after saying that. ]

I need to clean up downstairs.

[unhappy]

Hnnn... what if you didn't and you just held me all night instead?

[glorifies]

I'm going to be bothered by it all night if I don't clean up now... it won't take more than five minutes.

[unhappy]

Okay, but I'm staying in your room and I'm not telling you what I'm going to do while you're gone.

[ She's not planning on doing anything but she wants to know what he's going to imagine she is while he's downstairs. ]

[glorifies]

No. You're coming downstairs with me.

[ Except... she's going to have to walk going down because he can't carry her??? They'll fall. ]

[unhappy]

I can't my legs are sleep, oh nooo........

[ she is an agent of chaos ]

[glorifies]

I need to clean.

[ Sorry, Em, he really will leave you here now. 😔 He lets go and gets out of bed. Akashi trusts her enough not to mess up his bedroom too much... she knows how he gets!! And he knows that she wouldn't do anything really awful. ]

[unhappy]

[ She scrambles to get out of the bed to hug behind him now. She's coming with now she wants to be with him the second that he lets go. 😩

is this what it means to be a koala ]

[glorifies]

[ There is much Emerald needs to learn to be a professional koala... ]

Will you clean up with me?

[ He's not gonna shrug Emerald off, but he places his hands over hers and brings them up so he can kiss the back of it. ]

[unhappy]

I'll give you words of encouragement from behind.

[ She releases him so he can walk without toppling down the stairs, but finds purchase on the back of his shirt so he can't get away from her. ]

[glorifies]

You can tell me what you did in the morning while I'm cleaning, then.

[ Words of encouragement are fine, but he'd much rather hear about her day! ]

[unhappy]

[ Without letting go of his shirt, she follows him wherever he goes during this cleaning venture. ]

I went to someone else's yoga class to steal ideas, then I went and bought some games and groceries. I did some target practice, then I read a little on my device but not more than a chapter or two of anything... I'm having trouble finding anything good. Tetsuya always knew what to read...

[glorifies]

[ There's not much places to follow Akashi. He just cleans up the plates and utensils on the dining area, throws the trash, then puts the dishes and cutlery in the dishwasher. He's... so, so very happy he was finally able to purchase one already. Less work in the house to be done! ]

Kuroko enjoyed reading very much. I think he was a member of the library committee when were in Teikou, too...

[ It'd be nice to see Kuroko again. Akashi's not worried, at least, because time doesn't really march on in his world. He does wonder what Kuroko will do now that Kagami's left for the United States. It's bound to affect Seirin's play style, too. ]

[unhappy]

[ Yeah but since she's following him now she can reward him with kisses to the back of the neck for each task he completes!! ]

He was going to help me when I started working at the library for one whole day before it got a hole blown in it back in Verens, too.

[ She really did end up listening to Akashi on that even if she didn't think it fit her. But maybe that's why she didn't stick around and wait for it to be prepared to start work.. she likes reading at least, even if that's all she would've wanted to do instead of the actual job. ]

[glorifies]

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

[ He would have liked to hear Emerald tell stories about how it is in the library. It's where Akashi used to work, after all. He likes the people there. ]

But there are more opportunities here. In this more futuristic world, you could do so many things.
