Memory ღ 8. [Accidental voice]

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

[The sound starts to play and at first there is only the soft creak of a bed spring, before a voice is heard over it.]

I miss Youji, Rit-kun...

I know, but he'll come, just be patient.

[Silence, then another shift on the bed.]

Hey, don't touch there! It feels weird...

It's so long and smooth. Rit-kun is always so nice feeling.

[The bed gives a louder creak, then Ritsuka yelps.]

Don't pull it! That hurts! Hiss!

Too rough? So cute~ How about this instead?

NATSUO!

[There's a loud thud when a book falls on top of the phone, then the feed cuts off.]

((A not as bad as it looks post done with Natsuo-mun. Natsuo = Purple.))

[He watches Ritsuka's progress without moving. He doesn't want to offend Ritsuka by trying to help out. His voice, when he answers, seems completely calm.]

Because I'm betraying the name by fighting.

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

[The small fingers stop working for a moment when he takes in that answer.]

Even though you were given to me...?

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

The name on my skin is still "Beloved". When I fight as part of Loveless, it betrays the name "Beloved".

[He quietly looks at the letters but doesn't say a word. Eventually his fingers finish their work.]

It's not too tight is it?

[He softly smooths out the edges then button ups Soubi's shirt.

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

It's perfect.

[Technically, that's a lie: Seimei would have beaten him if he had seen bandages applied in the pattern Ritsuka used. The layers are snug and perfect for sopping up blood, but they are wound at an angle, and that would never have been acceptable to Seimei. But it's Ritsuka who has done this, so in Soubi's eyes, it couldn't be more perfect. He smooths the side of Ritsuka's face with a hand.]

Thank you.

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

[Ritsuka had always focused more on covering and preventing a mess with the bandages. Neatness never really occurred to him, but never stopped him from letting Seimei take his time when applying bandages.]

Hn...

[He looks thoughtful again, before suddenly leaning in and placing a soft kiss over the bandages. Face red and eyes down cast, he quickly pulls away and heads for the door.]

I'm getting a snack, you want anything?

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[Ritsuka's kiss to his sensitive neck sends shivers up his spine. He stands.]

May I come with you?

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

Only if you don't start nagging at me about what I eat when we get there.

[He says over his shoulder as he walks into the hall.]

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

Of course, Ritsuka.

[He looks thoughtful as he follows Ritsuka through the halls.]

Have you been eating a lot of things that I would disapprove of?

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

...How should I know?

[He knew...]

Mind your own Business!

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles.]

I'll take that as a "yes". Ritsuka, it's okay to eat unhealthy foods from time to time, but mixing that with foods that are good for you is better.

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

It's not better when they taste gross! Mixing things I hate with things I like is gross and I thought you said you weren't going to nag.

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[Ignoring Ritsuka's complain, he puts a finger to his chin in thought.]

Tofu can taste like almost anything, if it's combined with something else. What if I made you sweet tofu?

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

What is that? I don't like it.

[He scrunches up his nose.]

AIUGBPASEGB SO LATE I AM SO SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY T_T

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[He laughs aloud.]

How can you possibly say you don't like it if you don't know what it is?

Re: AIUGBPASEGB SO LATE I AM SO SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY T_T

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

Tofu is gross! It should have a taste of its own. It's leeching off the taste of others. That sounds gross!

Re: AIUGBPASEGB SO LATE I AM SO SORRYYYYYYYYYYYY T_T

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[He gives Ritsuka a knowing look.]

That's the beauty of it. You can give it almost any taste, and it will give you its texture. It's very soft and easy to swallow.

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

It still sounds weird...

[He still looks skeptical.]

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

Hmm, Ritsuka, do you like mangoes?

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

They're pretty good, yeah.

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

Tofu in mango sauce it is, then.

[And no, he's not taking "no" for an answer.]

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

Why can't I just have a sliced mango?!

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

Because tofu and mango sauce tastes better. It has a delicate texture as well. There is a lot for your tongue to sense in tofu and mango sauce.

[photogenickitty.livejournal.com]

You're making it sound even more weird!

[He grumps as they finally reach the kitchen.]

[pinnd-buttrfly.livejournal.com]

[Soubi marches right to the refrigerator and begins taking out ingredients. Two mangoes, a package of tofu, a potato, and bamboo. Then he grabs a number of spices out of a cabinet and gathers everything on the counter.]

Would you like to help me measure the spices?

[Maybe he just hasn't heard your protests, Ritsuka.]
