after 3/3

[invocate]

[A few days after she gets back from Bosuma, Li-Na packs her damaged uniforms into a back and heads over to Yogi's apartment. Hopefully he'll be able to something to salvage them, specially the first one. It apparently was not as durable as the second.

Finding the right address, Li-Na knocks on the door.]

_{[ Yogi was home, dressed down in sweat pants and a t-shirt, though one leg was rolled up, a cooling pad wrapped around his knee. He opened the door and beamed at Li-Na, waving even as he stepped back to let her in. ]}

Hi~! Come on in. Would you like some tea or something? I'd offer coffee, but my coffee maker is still broke.

Re: after 3/3

[invocate]

Tea is fine, thank you.

[Li-Na leaves her shoes by the door]

Do you do sports?

[she wrapped her knees like that more than a few times]

Re: after 3/3

[dornen_kiste]

Tea, got it! Um, let me go see what kind I have. Sleepy Time probably isn't the best.

_{[ He laughed a bit as he went to his kitchen to see what he had in his little stock and put some water on to heat. ]}

Hmm? Oh, yeah, I do. I'm on the gymnastics team at the University. You said you dance, right?

Re: after 3/3

[invocate]

[Li-Na follows after him, bag of damaged uniforms dangling from her finger tips]

Yes, I am taking lessons at Dancerate right now. I am still waiting to hear if I was accepted to RU though.

[because it's just the beginning of March, and universities like to make high school students suffer]

But gymnastics, wow! I would like to see that sometime!

Re: after 3/3

[dornen_kiste]

You seem like a smart young lady. If I made it in, you definitely will!

_{[ He would be the first to admit he wasn't always the sharpest crayon, at least in certain subjects. Look, math was not his precise strong suit, okay? ]}

You're welcome to come and watch practice, or if there's a meet you can come too if you like. Or I could do the splits for you.

_{[ He held up two packets of tea. ]}

This is what I have that won't put us both to sleep. Do you have a preference?

Re: after 3/3

[invocate]

No preference, thank you.

[she grins at his suggestion of doing the splits, but won't ask him to demonstrate with his knee getting iced]

I would like to watch a practice, if that is okay. Some of the memories I am getting of past-me, I think she has some gymnastic-style training.

<sub>[ Yogi hummed as he mixed up the greens of salad he had readied for when Biffy came. His suggestion of pizza had fallen a bit flat, so he went the other way instead. He hoped Biffy liked it, though he had ramen in the fridge if the salad wasn't to his taste. A bit of bread and some fruit rounded off his little luncheon. It was probably for the best anyways. He didn't need to gain any weight right now. It made holding himself up in handstands that much harder!

Now he just needed the guest of honor! ]</sub>

[dandyofawolf]

[Spending time with his boyfriend yesterday had helped but Biffy was looking forward to spending some time with his friend today. It would be good to have that easy aura around him. It was why he'd agreed to this in the first place as he came up to Yogi's place and knocked on his door.

He was still a little emotionally drained from the memory but he easily managed a smile for when the door opened.]

Hello. I'm here.

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ Yogi bounded over to the door when he heard the knock, bright with his usual beaming smile at the sight of his friend. ]}

And right on time as usual!

_{[ He stepped back to let Biffy in, glad he had cleaned up for Biffy's visit. Not that he was terribly messy, but things at least looked a bit more orderly than usual. ]}

I got some salad, bread, and fruit for lunch if that's okay? If you want something heartier, I do have some ramen - just got it last night, so it'll heat up great.

[dandyofawolf]

What you have sounds wonderful. Thank you.

[Biffy stepped inside and noted the smell of the vegetables and fruit. It was really very nice.]

Thank you for this.

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ Yogi looked at him and cocked his head a little, but he smiled as he closed the door. ]}

But of course. Least I can do, asking you to come over so suddenly. I know you have your own problems and worries, so I'm always grateful when you'll come over and help me just chill for a bit.

_{[ He beamed at his friend, giving him a quick hug around his shoulders before alighting back to the kitchen. ]}

What do you want to drink? I got beer, water, juice, and I bought some new tea today too.

[dandyofawolf]

[The hug is nice and he follows after him.]

Tea. Thank you, Yogi.

[Tea is always wonderful in his opinion so he knows that will be just what he needs right now.]

4/10; Voice

[ingodswelove]

AAAAAAAHHHHH! ZEPHY JUST CONFESSED HIS FEELINGS TO ME!!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!! HE'S THE BEST EVER!!!

I Should buy him a present!!! Ohmygosh, what should I get him??? Yogi-bhai, this is an emergency shopping trip! We have to go now!

Re: 4/10; Voice

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ Well that was unexpected and Yogi squawked in surprise at the sudden burst of sound over his phone. Jesus, Ashura. But he was smiling on his end all the same. ]}

That’s great Ash! I’m so happy for you.

Um... give me fifteen? Im not really dressed to go shopping right at the moment.

Voice -> Action?

[ingodswelove]

Alright! I'll be there soon!

[ ACTION ]

[After about twenty minutes, Ashura is knocking on Yogi's door with his usual entourage of body guards.]

Yogi-bhai, I'm here~!

Re: Voice -> Action?

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ It was quick, but it gave Yogi enough time to change into a t-shirt, an overlapping button up, jeans, and his chucks. He had a crossbody bag with him for good measure. Going shopping with Ashura usually meant he would have need of a bag in some way. Usually not for himself, as it were, but he was used to it. He opened the door and smiled at Ashura and waved hello at the bodyguards, unconsciously reaching out to one to tweak something on his shirt. There! ]}

So how did he tell you?

[ingodswelove]

[Since Yogi had mother's approval to be around Ashura, the guard doesn't even challenge the adjustment, only simply nodding their head in thanks.

And at Yogi's question, Ashura is squealing all over again. He's going to start gushing over it.]

He called me on the phone and when I answered, he said: [He gives his best, deep, manly voice, trying to imitate Zephyr (which is honestly hard for him)] "I love you, Ashura."

I just couldn't believe it! Isn't he the greatest?! AHH! I have to get something special for us! Oh, and I marked it permanently in my calendar so we can celebrate it as our anniversary!

[One of the bodyguards holds open the rear door to the limo, letting the boys slide in first before the entourage follows suit.]

I absolutely just need your best opinion on a gift! I've never had someone tell me they love me before! Well... at least outside of family. But you know what I mean.

[He laughs.]

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ That wasn’t as totally romantic as Yogi had imagined, but Ashura was happy and there didn’t seem to be any reason to burst said bubble. He wasn’t Kei. He settled into the limo, bag at his feet and beamed at the other man. ]}

Well, do you want the gift to be something you can both enjoy or more something just for Zephy?

_{[ He didn’t actually know his real name, cause that was all Ashura ever called him, so there it was... ]}

9/10 - Waking Up from Dream Coma

[dornen_kiste]

<sub>[ It happened all at once, like someone snapping their fingers and lights coming on. Like rushing up from the bottom of the ocean and finding air. Yogi's eyes opened, his body jerking up, taking in gasps of air like he was screaming but couldn't quite get the sounds out. His hand went to his chest, looking down, expecting blood, wondering if he was really feeling the pain in his ribs, in his heart, or if it was in his head.

He looked around, confused. Room. He was in a room. His room? Right, his room. He had been... sleeping? Dreaming? He wasn't sure. Slowly he pushed at the covers and moved to swing his feet around, the bed creaking beneath him, the world swirling.

Okay, maybe just... wait a minute on that. Get his bearings. Not a dream. This wasn't a dream... ]</sub>

[liberal_arts]

-Kasen had been drifting, himself, the chair beside Yogi's bed being exceptionally comfortable and easy to sleep in. He'd slept in it for awhile now, only really heading out to deal with Retrospec-related issues. Even when everything went weirdly digital, it was still comfortable. He had to wonder if it was because of the chair itself, or just because it was so much easher for him to relax when he was near Yogi...

Ah. That's what woke him up. The sound of bedding shifting about. He wondered if one of Yogi's friends had arrived and was re-arranging the bed, but his eyes were met with something else entirely...

It probably wasn't the smartest or medically sound thing to do, but he couldn't help himself. He almost immediately sprung from that comfortable chair, clinging desperately to the now very much away Yogi, holding him close, unable to contain the flood of emotions that came with just seeing him among the waking once more, hands shivering...-

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ Oh. Oh he had someone around him, hugging him. The overwhelming color of violet, soft and sweet and familiar. Not like that other place, dark and twisted and painful. His hands rose and clutched at Kasen's back, pressing his face into Kasen's shoulder. He breathed in deeply, that sweet scent he had come to find comforting and peaceful. Tears pricked the corners of his eyes and he wasn't entirely sure why. ]}

Kasen? Kasen what happened...? Am I... I'm awake, right?

[liberal_arts]

I don't know what happened... -Kasen combed his hand through Yogi's hair, clenching, though not too tightly, not as tight as his arms were pressed against the other's shoulders.- I wasn't there... I wasn't there...

-And he carried that guilt, tearing into his heart like a hook with a heavy weight on the other end.-

But I'm here now. I'm here, you're awake...

[dornen_kiste]

It wasn't your fault. It was a dream...

_{[ His mind still swirled, a cotton tumble, trying to make sense of everything. It was a dream, right? So why was Kasen so upset? ]}

Kasen... did... did something happen? How long have I been sleeping?

_{[ He had no calendar in his room, and he couldn't see or find his phone to check the date. All he knew was that it was his room and it wasn't that scary place anymore and Kasen was there and upset and holding him very tight and he was very glad for that. ]}

[liberal_arts]

Well... -Kasen sighed, pulling away just slightly, looking around the room, which Yogi would likely not start to notice was a little... Off.-

Some things have definitely happened. The lot of us seem to be inside the actual digital landscape of Retrospec right now, as strange as that may sound... But it's the 10th, if you need a reference for time. -Which he hoped wouldn't freak Yogi out too badly.-
