“ Would I move in with your dumb ass if not? ” he'll pinch her cheek now, time to wipe that cocky smile off her lips. “ It says a lot. ”

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

“ A bitch that you clearly love too much to let go, am I wrong? ” is that a cheeky smile? She loved getting the male going a lot.

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

Pfft. What an annoying question– Nine growls in a playful manner, tanned features not showing much of an expression aside from that, “ you're a bitch, know that? ”

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

There goes a loud yelp and small jump from the figure before settling back down against his body. “ Is it dangerous or is it just the fact you're afraid somebody will snatch me away and I won't be yours anymore~?”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

“ Nah... ” Time for a pinch to her side, chin resting atop the kitsune's head. “ I don't want you workin' out, it's dangerous. Maybe when the war subsides, 'till then I'll find some work around town for extra income. ”

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

“ I'll have to find some work or something, won't I....? Your cash won't last us forever... ”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

“ Dunno, ” her concern was amusing, to say the least– if not downright cute, “ guess we'll find out soon enough, won't we? ”

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

“ It'll be interesting to see what life will be like when we have more space to move around in and we're not stuck in one room. Think you'll still love me? ”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

“ ... That's some boring shit. ” Can't say he was that surprised, though. Expression thoughtful for a split second... “ I ain't even remember where I lived before the school took me and the others in, orphan an' all. Anything before this is a blur. ”

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

“ Same place you hear in legends and a stories, stupid. Temples, churches, all of that. ” leaning back into the hold, a smile came to her lips as her head tilted to look up at him. “ I've lived for a long time, never stayed in a human place until I was shoved in this room. ”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

“ Where the fuck did ya rest then? ” an eyebrow raises, disbelief shown as he approached and sat down right behind his fox, arms going around her.

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

“ I was trying to sleep... ” rubbing her side where his foot nudged her the little fox couldn't help but sigh. “ I'll be happy with anything to be honest... Never lived in a human home, don't know what I'd like. ”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

Rubbing the back of his head, a glance was given to the other... “ playing dead or some shit? ” he began playfully, closing the fridge with a surprisingly gentle slam. “ I have the cash, we'll look tomorrow. ”

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

By time the cadet was done, his little fox was now sitting in the usual form on the floor. Surprisingly quiet the whole time, but that would quickly be broken by that soft voice. “ we really need to get a bigger place or something... ”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

Well, he hadn't noticed the other would be busy observing him.

Fruits, meats, grains, cup noodles of his preference; even a bottle of her favorite sake sat on his desk, all organized and put away into the small fridge in the room.

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

Peeking throw a tail with a bright blue eye, clearly the kitsune was watching every moment in hopes to catch a glimpse of the food. He's been gone for awhile so of course she was hungry....

but what exactly did he bring back.

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

Huh, that's better. Patting the fur once she'd gone quieter, the cadet rose back up to sort through the groceries he'd brought to their room. Figured she was hungry by now.

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

Purposely curling up into a slight ball with her tails covering her face, at least Airi quieted back down at the petting.

So much for sound sleeping though.

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

“ Fucking... ” rest of his cursing lost amidst a sigh, a scarred hand ran over the female's figure as he crouched down to pet her.

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

Hear that high pitched, yet tiny sounding whine? Yeah, that's her.

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

Be a shame if someone nudges her with their foot and guess what? He did.

[aιrι【愛莉】 @WhiteSnowLotus]

Stretching out in full fox form on the floor. She's sleeping, comfortable, and it's been forever just being this way.

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus had some here, but he'd rather relax and sweat out doing other things.

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

“ busy, don't bitch. ” he'll plop down right behind airi on the floor, chin on her shoulder and arms around her. “ they sent me away. ”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus snickering, nine swiftly took down his second shot with little resistance.

to switch things up a little, the dragoon flicks the cap off a vodka bottle and opts to fill their next drinks with it.

“ never have i ever... been to a fuckin' hot spring or something like it, ” they –

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus “ you're a bitch, ” snarling, immediately downing his first shot without batting an eyelash. it'd take a lot more from her to get him drunk.

filling his cup back up again, the cadet spoke... “ never have i ever... wore a kimono out in public. ”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus “ ladies first, ” that smug look of his wasn't gonna go away anytime soon, it seemed.

nine leaned forward, a closed fist pressed to his cheek for support as he awaited the start of their little competition.

if airi ever wanted his attention, it was now fully on her.

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus front of himself, filling the cups with a dose of the beverage familiar to airi at first. “ now's your chance to learn if not. ”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus “ typical never have i ever till one of us rolls over, know how that works? ”

glad she knew the outcome of possible rejection.

taking the two bottles of sake and an extra one of vodka to match along with the cups, nine sat back down on the floor and spreads out the items in –

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus play a drinkin' game? ” there they were, those fangs of his in a smirk.

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus nine blinked, “ we don't gotta drink / all / this shit. relax, tails. ” voice trailing off, he opens a drawer and pulls out two small cups.

why he had these? well... drinking could be a way to forget everything for a short, “ this stuff is good for shots. wait, wait. wanna –

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus ya, always figured it's a ladies' drink. ” teasing, the cadet began to sort out the beverages atop their desk, careful not to drop any. “ lock the door for me, don't want an idiot comin' in. ”

[；ナイン 。 @meltveins]

@WhiteSnowLotus in no time he'd push the door open with an elbow, balancing a good amount of bottles in his arms; at least two of those should be familiar to her– the smallest, sake.

but the rest...? no dice. he'd teach her a thing or two tonight. “ brought some of this weak shit for –
