_{[ 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.

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~!

_{[ 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?

[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.]

_{[ 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... ]}

[Ashura gives it some thought.]

I want it to be for him!

Although, maybe some lingerie wouldn't hurt, either~

[Thanks to Yogi saying both enjoy, Ashura's mind immediately thinks bedroom things.]

But I want his primary gift to be something just for him!

_{[ Yogi’s cheeks heated at the mention of lingerie, or of anything
really reserved for the bedroom. He had barely even kissed another person,
much less had sex. Indeed, the lithe gymnast was a virgin, in a lot of
ways. ]}

He would definitely appreciate that, I’m sure. You look gorgeous in everything you wear, after all.

_{[ He coughed and fidgeted for a second, looking out the window. ]}

Does he collect something maybe? Like vinyls or maybe watches? You could get him something like that.

Of course I look good in everything! It's hard not to.

[He winks at Yogi.]

Do you think I should do something with more lace or silk? It's so hard to choose!

I know he likes sword training. OOH! He also likes white tigers! Maybe I should get him one as a pet!

_{[ Oh god. Ashura was totally asking him this stuff on purpose wasn’t
he? ]}

Maybe lace. It strikes me as more delicate and pretty when it’s, um, in small amounts.

_{[ Yup, cheeks very red. He coughed at the suggestion. ]}

Maybe not that. In fact I’m pretty sure that’s illegal and they’re endangered. Maybe a stuffed animal version instead?

[Ashura smiles at Yogi.]

Thank you, Yogi-bhai! I knew I could trust your fashion sense to never let me down!

[Ashura doesn't seem to notice nor mind that Yogi's cheeks are red]

Hmm.... I don't know if stuffed animal suits him, cute as they both are. What if.... hmmmm....

Maybe a giant painting or tapestry! Would that work???

Does he have room for it? I don't know he lives in...

_{[ He thought for a minute. ]}

What if you took him to the zoo? Or maybe made a donation in his name to the tigers at the zoo? Don't they have a thing too, where if you donate to one of those animal protection agencies, you can "adopt" a tiger in the wild? It's kind of like owning one, except the tiger gets to be free!

Yea, but he won't ever get to see it. The wild one. Though I suppose I could take him for a zoo trip, too. I don't know how much he would want to, though.

I'd bet he could use the tapestry in his training center! If it doesn't fit at home, I mean. Those walls are kind of bare, I think. So he should have plenty of room. Then, while he's teaching, he can see it and think of me! It's perfect!

[Welp, looks like he's got his heart set on the tapestry thing. Although, he's definitely going to drag Yogi along for some serious shopping. Hold on tight, Yogi, you're in for a ride.]

We'll get the tapestry first, and then we'll go lingerie shopping!

It's true he won't get to see the wild one, but you will have helped save one and that's pretty cool, don't you think?

_{[ He knew Ashura had his mind made up, but it couldn't hurt to try and
prod him to doing something altruistic at the same time. Besides, he was
sure Zephy would appreciate anything Ashura got him, simply because Ashura
had gotten it for him. Though Ashura's reason for getting it did seem a
touch selfish, but that had always been Ashura's way. He blushed darkly at
the mention of lingerie shopping. ]}

O-oh all right. Though I'm not sure how much help I'll be. Lingerie it's my forte.

But we can save one by owning it, can't we? What if we adopted a little one? It could be in secret?

[You giving him far different ideas, Yogi.]

Oh, nonsense! I've seen your designs before, you already know what you're doing. You can't hide it from me, Yogi-bhai~

Hey, are you going to become a designer later?

I don't really think that's a good idea. It's not very nice to the poor tiger, and I think it's probably illegal.

_{[ Oh dear. Ashura always did turn left when he hoped he would turn
right. ]}

Hmm? Oh well, that is the plan, yes! I really want to be. I actually got to meet my design idol a few weeks ago! I totally thought I was going to die on the spot!

Like giving alcohol to anyone underage, huh?

[He says that maybe too casually. He's obviously offered alcohol to minours before.

Ashura just gives a half-shrug and a smile.]

Tapestry it is, then!

Ooh, really?! Which one's your idol? What are they like? Maybe I can help you meet them again and get you two settled for lunch sometime!

Um, sort of? But it's more like caring for a wild animal is a lot of work and you want them to stay wild so they can have babies and make more tigers!

_{[ Sure, that sounds legit. ]}

Hirata! I met Jirou and he invited me over to his place and then his mother came and -!

_{[ It just dissolves into excited squeals at the memory. ]}

Jirou? Oh, my goodness! I've talked to Jirou-bhai! His mother is your designing idol!? That's so great!

Oh yeah, absolutely! She's amazing! I've absolutely bought every magazine she's had a feature in and I have all the youtube videos of her shows saved. It so amazing, I was pretty sure I was about to die from happiness.
