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?

Comments

[unhappy]

Sure. I like trying new things. So long as we're not camping.

[ Fishing and camping go hand in hand for a lot of people. ]

[glorifies]

No? Not even stargazing?

[ Isn't that supposed to be romantic? ]

[unhappy]

Stargazing is fine. You know I like that already, buuut--

[ she pokes her head out of the shower and makes a toothbrush gesture to ask him for hers. She forgot it!! ]

I would want to go inside afterward to sleep.

[glorifies]

[ Honestly, he's already seen this coming. It's why Akashi bought some extra toothbrushes, one for Mayuzumi, and another for Emerald. They all spontaneously decide to sleep over at the other's, anyway. He felt this was a wise choice.

And today!! He certainly agrees with his past self.

He gets up from his seat to grab the toothbrush he'd bought for Emerald, waving it a couple of times to show her that he's gotten one for her before placing it by the sink. ]

Then we can rent a cabin. I think it would be nice to be away from the city for a day or two.

[unhappy]

[ She would've taken his toothbrush if he hadn't gotten one for her, honestly, but she looks genuinely pleased that he has one for her. It's like he's saying that she belongs here, even if he hasn't asked her to move in with him. She reaches out to nab it from the sink with every intent of brushing her teeth in the shower. ]

A cabin sounds great.

[glorifies]

... What are you doing?

[ He grabs her by the wrist. ]

Brush your teeth here.

[ At the sink. You know. Like how normal people do. ]

[unhappy]

Do I have to? This way I don't have to clean the sink after.

[ The water's already flowing from the shower, she figures she's doing good. She does this all the time... ]

[glorifies]

Yes.

[ No explanation, no excuses. He'll be very firm with this because you're supposed to brush your teeth at the sink in the first place. ]

[unhappy]

Fiiiine.

[ She relinquishes her grip on the toothbrush to hand it back to him. ]

Chihiro lets me do it. [ She'll do it at home all the time, and he has to have knowledge of that now!! >:| ]

[glorifies]

... I need to speak to Mayuzumi-san about this.

[ What other things has Emerald been doing that's crazy!!! ]

[unhappy]

Next you're going to put a ban on trying to make water streams with your hands like a human fountain or trying to create and hold giant soap bubbles.

[ emerald likes to play around in the shower... ]

[glorifies]

...

[ He's not going to do that, but he's not going to argue. It will just cause bigger problems. He's a little insulted that it's as if he's some big party pooper. He just wants order in his life. ]

Are you done yet?

[unhappy]

[ Emerald is just teasing him, and she's in the shower so she can't really see his expression. She sighs when she gets his response though-- she can hear his tone and recognizes it. He's trying to ignore her words. ]

I'm teasing, please don't get upset. I love you even if you don't let me brush my teeth in here.

[ She hurries up to finish instead of playing around though, since she wants to show him she's just being playful!! ]

[glorifies]

The shower isn't for brushing your teeth.

[ Okay, apparently, he can't let this go if Emerald is going to bring it up again. ]

[unhappy]

I understand!

[ She just wanted him to know she was being playful, not to dig her heels in about the toothbrushing! She laughs a little. ]

I get it. I'm just teasing you. No more toothbrushing in the shower. Can you come here a second though?

[ Before she's out. If he listens, she's gonna lean out of the shower to kiss him while she's all wet. Hands-free so she doesn't get his clothes wet or anything. ]

[glorifies]

...

[ Suspicious. Still, he comes over, though, making sure he's just right by the door and not close enough for her to pull him inside. And then she kisses him, and he's frozen in his spot, because that came out of nowhere.

He really isn't good reading the future anymore. ]

You're silly.

[ Not at all in a bad way. Akashi is very amused. His mood is better now ]

[unhappy]

Only with you.

[ That's a side she really only shows him. She pulls away to turn the water off before getting ready to step out of the shower, waiting for him to move out of the way again so she can get out and get the towel. ]

[glorifies]

[ He will move away, of course, even going back to the covered toilet to claim his... well, throne. He'll sit down and be patient now. ]

The hairdryer is in the drawer under the sink, if you need it.

[unhappy]

[ She takes the information as a suggestion that she should do it and once she's patted herself dry with the towel, she heads over to the sink to start drying her hair. Still naked though. Enjoy the show, toilet emperor. If Akashi doesn't interrupt get, about halfway through she'll aim it at him playfully. ]

[glorifies]

[ Akashi actually begins to mind his own business once Emerald is out of the shower. He'll let her do whatever it is she has to do before getting dressed. In the meantime, he goes to check the news on his device.

But is momentarily interrupted when hot air smacks his face. ]

You're going to get sick if you don't put any clothes on soon.

[unhappy]

[ She fluffs his hair a little with the blowdryer before going back to doing her own. ]

I bet I could go a whole day naked and wouldn't get sick.

[glorifies]

I hope you at least intend to spend that day indoors.

[ Translation: You'd better stay indoors. ]

[unhappy]

[ This is a challenge right ]

Hm... okay, I'll stay naked for the next 24 hours. I'm not leaving anyway, right?

[glorifies]

[ THAT WAS NOT A CHALLENGE ]

Emerald.

[ No. ]

[unhappy]

Seijuro.

[ Are you sure? She's pretty sure it was. ]
