@deviousfables β one mistake, one tiny little oversight could get them killed during lift off and once up there. there are so many what ifs.
so many risks.
so many variables that could alter the course of their future. each of them scarier than the last.
".. i'm coming back, gen."
@deviousfables the touch has him falling silent, eyes remaining fixed upon his favourite mentalist.
this touch.. it seems like a different kind of touch, the way gen is looking at him, there is a weight to it.
and he knows why. knows the risks they're taking.β
@deviousfables β they better not all gang up and do something silly and sentimenta-... they're going to do just that and he knows it.
he's in for it today, huh..
@deviousfables he sighs and climbs back up, pouting the whole damn way and crashing back into the bed face down.
special days.. he figured out what day it is already. frankly, he couldn't care less.
he was born on this day, a very, very long time ago now. it seems so irrelevant.β
@deviousfables β it is torture. immense torture. he knows he won't get to hear the way gen calls his name so sweetly to wake him. he probably won't even get much rest without aid to begin with.
a soft sigh.
"we'll have to hang in there."
@deviousfables he gently cups gen's cheeks, studies his face. maps it. every inch. as if trying to make sure he remembers it down to the last detail when they part ways.
"i will. promise." he mumbles, thumbs caressing his cheeks softly.β
@deviousfables "i know.. i'm gonna miss you too, my mentalist."
he wraps his own arms around him and chuckles softly.
odd. he feels sad, sad yet excited. it's an odd combo. sad because he'll miss gen, excited because they'll go to space and face why-man. finally. after so long..
@deviousfables ah.
that.
yeah.
he gently runs his hands through gen's hair and sighs.
"i'm going to come back, y'know. it's not for forever. two way trip, remember?"
@deviousfables hah???
what the hell.
he makes a little noise in surprise at the sudden hand over his eyes and squirms a bit.
"who the hell eats in bed to begin with? fine, but i ain't cleaning the sheets." he scoffs softly.β
@deviousfables "g'mornin'."
his voice is still rough from sleep. eyes still closed as he leans on gen just the slightest.
the plan failing shouldn't be too big of a surprise, really. senku doesn't sleep as well without gen beside him. the lack of gen in the bed was enough to rouse him.β
@rubbernika tilts his head.
pirate.. crew..
ah right, those are a thing here. he forgot about that one. there's silence for a moment.
"alright. sounds like it'd be interesting at least but i'm going to need a lab."
@deviousfables β he sits up slowly, rubs at his eyes and hums softly. okay. time to get up, huh?
he gets dressed and makes his way out to find the mentalist. when he does, he wraps his arms around him from behind and just plops his head on his shoulder.
"hey."
@deviousfables sneaky as to not wake him, huh? nice try.
it wakes him instantly but he's too damn comfy and warm to budge from where he's still resting so he allows gen to do what ever it is he's trying to do.
eventually the smell of breakfast hits though.. damn. smells nice.β
