bonne anniversaire

[unbr8kable]

Who: Requiem, Nemesis
Where: the lobby, for starters
When: Day 181

[Nemesis is waiting in the appropriate spot at the appropriate time, hair tamed and carrying a small bouquet--long stems of bluebells, lily of the valley, sunflowers, carnations, and a pink rose, tied with a tyrian and navy ribbon. She rocks back on her heels as she waits, the anticipatory type of nervous, but straightens as Requiem approaches]

Hey. Wanna head out?

Comments

[stakesthesame]

Yeah. Where were you thinking? My plans don't really account for nothin' until later.

[ offers her hand, though. ]

[unbr8kable]

[takes it]

I dunno... Hotwire a car and head to the cafe, or the amusement park? Check out the Tokyo Tower model or something? Just throwing ideas out there...already did the main thing I wanted to do.

...What happens later?

[stakesthesame]

I got a room in the love hotel with your name on it... the rest you can find out later.

[ threads their fingers together, squeezing, and starts walking. ]

I've never actually been to the amusement part. ... what's the main thing you wanted to do?

[unbr8kable]

Get you to come out with me.

[Looks at her and waggles her eyebrows, though the effect is dimmed a bit by her blush]

Not that different from a roller coaster...sometimes.

[stakesthesame]

[ flusters, but laughs, tugging her closer so she can lean down and nuzzle her lips against Nem's hair. ]

Not that hard to lure me out with the promise of seeing your beautiful face.

[unbr8kable]

[pretends to struggle but somehow stays caught exactly where she is]

Yeah, right. More like the threat of running into your roommates' boyfriends in the toilet or something.

[stakesthesame]

[ curls her arms around her, careful not to crush the flowers, to smother her temple and cheeks and ears with little kisses. ]

Oh yeah, definitely way more hype to escape my fam's bad morning after decisions than smothering you with affection, you totally got it.

[unbr8kable]

Sounds legit to me.

[flushes pleasantly, winding her own arms around Req's waist and squeezing, tipping her face up to set butterfly kisses on what she can reach of Req, mostly neck and chin and hair]

...Seriously, just...time together without any interruptions or nobody's weird drama for like a minute or two...that's all I'm after. Stuff's been crazy enough, you're chills and thrills enough for me.

[stakesthesame]

[ leans down enough so nem can reach her cheeks, mostly so she can nuzzle warmly against her. ]

Yeah. ... yeah. I like having fun with you though, too. Just the two of us.

[unbr8kable]

[her nose is a little cool from the night air when she noses back into Requiem, eventually pulling away enough to start walking again]

Why don't we head to the hotel and go from there? There'll probably be someplace to put up the flowers.

[stakesthesame]

[ drops a last kiss on her nose as she pulls back, but lets her separate, still holding her hand as they start to walk. ]

Sounds good to me. I don't wanna ruin them out here in the cold anyway.

[unbr8kable]

[falls in beside her, looking back down at the bouquet]

Yeah. Twenty four is so many...

[stakesthesame]

Gotta account for all the hours in the day and all.

[unbr8kable]

You sleep sometimes. Shouldn't that at least get a bye?

[stakesthesame]

You fill my dreams, baby, what can I say.

[unbr8kable]

[Chokes a little]

Come off it... How'm I supposed to get any rest if I'm running around with you all night?

[stakesthesame]

Rest is overrated when we've got time to spend together, yeah?

[unbr8kable]

[Nudges into her as they walk]

Mmm... A fair point.

But why not have both?

[stakesthesame]

That's part of the plan.

[ curls her arm around nem's shoulders, and... hotel get! ... love hotel, anyway. ]

I hope the rooms don't like, despawn or somethin' when nobody's in them. Anyway, I did some investigating recently so I found some nice stuff...

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, you said you had a plan. I've never actually been in here before.

[She looks around, curiously]

Nice like what? Is it like the last place?

[stakesthesame]

No way. I mean, I'm sure there's places like it here but I found something better? Couple somethings. We can move around, I'm sure. But it's like, actually nice.

[ leads her over to the elevator to head up a couple floors, taking her to a door-- pausing outside of it, then evidently thinking twice and going to another one with a similar..ish? label? to open it to a room with a private onsen. ]

Oh good, right door. Ta-dah!

[unbr8kable]

Oh wow...looks fancy.

[kicks off her shoes so she can enter and look around, poking in the closets and checking out the bathroom as well]

How'd you find all this?

[stakesthesame]

Got bored and wandered around a bunch.

[ toes her shoes off too, and sets her bouquet on the table, following nem more sedately. ]

There's tons of cool rooms in this place, but this one's real cozy.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. Got the kotatsu, got the bath... Think this one's a winner.

[trots back to take her hand again]

...Too bad they don't come with the fancy dinner and drinks. These type of hotels're famous for feeding you fancy food in your room.

[stakesthesame]

Yeah? Well... can't do that, but I can get you somethin' nice from the quickie mart.

[ squeezes her hand, gentle. ]
