Hey, this is the inbox of Kozume Kenma! I'm probably not here!
Leave a message and I'll text back when I cat. Probably pretty quickly.

[anxiouscat]

[ He might get it sorted sooner if it's awkard but...

He kinda really likes Sunny, and they'll both propbably disappear into a quiet corner to do their own thing. ]

Ah- I'm near the big crystal. There's a cafe nearby that had milkshakes.

[ > action ]

[sadpoem]

[The perfect date, to be honest - quietly parallel play and occasionally hold hands (and maybe make out if Sunny is really lucky--)]

i know where that is
ill come get you

[Lord, but his heart can race. Will it race like this every time he anticipates Kenma? Would he mind if it did?

[He's at the crystal in only about fifteen minutes. He approaches Kenma, blush already on his face, giving a short wave. He wonders if he should take his hand. Maybe in a moment...]

[anxiouscat]

[ Just two boys doing their own thing and... oh, there was only one bed- ]

Mmm! I thought it would be... the easiest location to find.

I'll see you soon. ❤

[ And just like that. Kenma's slowly finished off his drink and stepped on over to wait near the crystal.

Ah! There he is. The cat ears and tail are gone for now, he doesn't want that much attention on him. (actually, he wants no attention on him, please do not perceive him, society)

There's a faint smile, and he steps over to join Sunny. Even not as a half-cat, his eyes are still so sharp, bright yellow... ]

Hey- Uh... Ready to go?

[ He gives his hand a little lift, like a quiet offer. ]

[sadpoem]

[Kenma offers his hand, and it's easy as that. Sunny takes it, lacing their fingers. His heart is in his throat again. Those roses really didn't make all that much of a difference at all, did they?

[At Kenma's question, he nods. He's not a smiler, really, but his expression is...content, and that's saying something.

[He begins to walk back in the direction of the tree houses. Not many have seen the inside of his house before. He's nervous...]

It's...a little messy. At my house...

[anxiouscat]

[ Fingers lace, a little curl of digits... Maybe a brush of thumb against the back of his hand. Nice and comfy. ]

Ah, it's fine. My room got pretty bad sometimes too... Mostly with games-

[ He's never had a whole house before... What would he do with all that space? ]

[sadpoem]

[Sunny has personally filled it full of stuffed animals and sketchbook pages, but he tried to make it at least somewhat presentable before coming for Kenma. Most of the sketches are hidden away in books, save for one or two pinned to a wall...

[He hopes Kenma won't think the plushes are weird. He just likes them. Always has...

[It's a quiet walk by virtue of Sunny being a quiet person. When they get to the treehouse, he glances at Kenma, lightly squeezing his hand.]

You...go first, okay? [Up the ladder, he means.]

[anxiouscat]

Mmh? Ah- sure...

[ He clambers up neatly. Surprisingly limber for his lazy gamer nature. The sports is kindof showing up.

He's hit with a wall of colour! Woah- Intense.

But like, it also looks really comfy? So many plushes...

When Sunny enters after him he'll see the catboy dropped face first into a pile of plushes, tail out again, swishing happily. They're so soft! (And they smell like Sunny, very cozy) ]

Mmmh-

[sadpoem]

[!!! He likes them. And his tail is out again. Sunny will never get tired of Kenma with his cat features; for someone with an imagination like his, it's really a dream come true.

[He closes the door behind him and locks it, wandering over to the pile that Kenma has thrown himself into. Slowly, he lowers himself down next to him, similarly burying his face in the plushes.

[His hand reaches for Kenma's.]

[anxiouscat]

[ The cozy dream. Truly it's alive. His tail swishes a few times, waiting for Sunny to come closer before turning about to face him.

There's those sharp cat eyes again. ]

I tried asking the crystal for a POP..... I didn't have enough.. uh- whatever the currency was?

[ One hand slips into his, another gentle squeeze. He's just a bit bummed about not having a phone or anything. Truly suffering in game withdrawal. ]

[sadpoem]

[If Sunny weren't spending shards left and right on stuffed animals and cooking ingredients for other people, he might offer to help...

[He squeezes Kenma's hand back, shifting to face him in turn. Those striking eyes...it almost sends a shiver through him (thank God it doesn't, though - that would be embarrassing).]

Shards. In your pendant.

I haven't tried asking for anything yet...

[anxiouscat]

[ He gets that a lot... The eyes, the sharp features, that kinda gremlin cat vibe. His tail flickers, falling over Sunny's middle to draw them both a bit closer.

Noses bump, his cheeks tint darker. ]

Mmmh- How do we earn them? I think I have a few-

[ His fingers curl, drawing them in around his side so he can slip his arms around Sunny, a lazy cat urging a cuddle. ]

[sadpoem]

[It's difficult to focus on what Kenma is saying. With every touch, Sunny's heart starts racing faster, and he feels a bit like he can't breathe. It's not as scary as you think. He takes a deep breath and Calms Down, and one arm slides over Kenma's side, coming to rest in place. Socked feet bump against Kenma's, and noses come to brush again. Kenma's face isn't the only one burning.]

I think, you just...do things. Almost...like side quests.

[anxiouscat]

[ Cute.. He's so cute.

Ears fold back, there's a faint gulp. His heart's picking up as well, starting to flutter in his chest. ]

Mmmh- It is kindof like a game then...

[ It's not that scary, now that they've already passed that point. He swallows once before leaning in, pressing a soft kiss to Sunny's chin, right beside his lips and lingering there. ]

[sadpoem]

Mhmm...

[Sunny's voice has gone very quiet, his eyes half-lidded. Kenma kisses his chin, and it feels as real as any dream - just enough to keep pretending. It could be a game if Kenma wants it to be a game. Sunny would make it a game for Kenma. He's had plenty of dreams like that before...

[Sunny leans in to kiss Kenma, briefly bumping their noses together - ah, oops. He lets out a little breath that almost sounds like a laugh. Then he leans in again, and manages to really kiss him this time. His arm gets a little more snug around his cat-eared companion.]

[anxiouscat]

[ A dream of a game maybe... They can both go with their little fantasy.

Oh- His eyes slip partially closed, falling in closer in that pile of plushes as his arms draw Sunny in towards him. Like a cat seeking out warmth, he just can't seem to pull himself away.

There's a soft puff, a hidden smile in the privacy of this rather cozy treehouse, and his chin lifts to catch the kiss this time, athletic back arching to let Sunny's hand slip around him, ever drawing the two together.

Another kiss, and another, softer each time until his lips just stay there. He was going to chat for a while but... Whoops. This is really nice. ]

[sadpoem]

[Sunny didn't expect (nor intend?) for them to start kissing this soon, but it seems that when they're together, they just naturally stay close. The little kiss to his chin - maybe it was meant in passing, but it was so close to his lips...

[They kiss for a while like that, ever inching closer. Sunny thinks (hopes) that maybe he's getting better at kissing as they go along; at any rate, Kenma doesn't seem to mind it.

[Eventually, Sunny breaks away, slightly breathless.]

I...really like you.

[anxiouscat]

[ It kindof just seems to happen, between them, doesn't it? His head spins a bit while they kiss, and that anxious, shy sensation fades away while their lips connect. He doesn't have to think of anything or be good with words, just enjoy the closeness and contact, the way Sunny smells, feel his heartbeat...

It's a little too nice.

They part, and Kenma's eyes linger only partly open, gazing over to him with a few similarly panted breaths. ]

Mmmh- Me too. [ A slight wriggle forward, chests pressed together now. ] You're interesting... and fun to be around.

[ The highest compliment from Kenma. ]

Can you... Tell me about some of these plushes? Do they have names?

[sadpoem]

[Interesting? Fun to be around? Neither feel true. Sunny is...quiet, and shy, and...someone who really isn't fit to be outside of his bedroom, he feels. But Kenma likes him, and he likes Kenma too...

[It's merciful that he already has blush on his cheeks from kissing, because if he didn't, they'd be flaring up now as he's questioned about his stuffed animals. They do indeed have names...Isn't that supposed to be embarrassing?

[Propping himself up a bit on his elbow, he pulls a whale from the pile, turning it toward Kenma.]

He reminded me...of a book I had as a kid, so...I called him Humphrey.

[anxiouscat]

[ Quiet, shy, not fit to be outdoors.

Honestly he sounds perfect, right? ]

Mmh? Oh-... Humphrey's a cute name.

[ He turns onto his back, looking about the room a bit more properly. All the plushes, drawings. It really does give off the same kind of vibe as his video game and volleyball plastered room. (albeit a bit neater due to laziness and parents)

He leans in, gives the whale a little kiss on the chin. ]

I never had many plushes, but this feels so comfy... Kindof safe.

[ Slowly, he sits up, the arm around Sunny lagging behind, not wanting to release him. ]

Did you get them all with shards?

[sadpoem]

[Sunny sits up with Kenma, keeping his arm loosely around him as well, the free one joining. At Kenma's question, he nods.]

Not at the crystal...just at stores. They aren't much...

[And he's been getting out lately, actually - collecting shards pretty easily somehow.]

[anxiouscat]

Oh, right... I thought I saw some normal stores. I wasn't sure how to pay for things.

[ He'll get there, probably with a little help from Sunny or others. The hand along Sunny's middle gently squeezes, long tail thumping off to one side. ]

What do you... normally do for fun here?

[sadpoem]

[The tail is, as always, a bonus, along with those ears. Idly, Sunny reaches up to pet one for a couple of seconds before dropping his arm back around Kenma. It's easy...just sitting here together like this.]

I stay home a lot. I like to draw...

[Honestly, he mostly just sleeps, but...who wants to hear that? It's embarrassing...]

When I do go outside...there's always something going on.

[anxiouscat]

[ The soft shell twitches, then folds back a bit as it splays, his eyes fluttering a bit and tilting his head into the touch.

That's... That's a little overwhelming, still getting used to being able to feel like that. But he can tolerate it, even enjoy it a little with Sunny's careful touch. ]

Mmmh- I get that.

[ A faint arch if his back, sinking into Sunny's hold just a little bit more. ]

I might... Hide out here as well, when I get some games back- Walking around is so tiring.

[sadpoem]

You can.

[Sunny feels warm. When Kenma sinks closer, its easy to return the touch in kind. Before Kenma, Sunny had gone years without being touched by another person. It's difficult to break away from, now that he's felt it again - and never like this.]

I don't mind. Just tell me...

[anxiouscat]

Mmmh- of course.

[ Depending on how involved that relationship gets, it might not even be necessary. They'll see.

Plot twist, they're both basically shut in nerds... ]

Oh! Right.
Uhm, you mentioned spare clothes?

[ He's still in the clothes he arrived in. ]
