[ Chill, Makoto, don't be in a hurry or he'll think you're only here out of the goodness of your heart.

He opens the door. ]

Hey. Are you in a hurry or something?

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

Not at all! --but I didn't want the cakes to spoil, and it looks like it'll rain...

[ah, it's the first time they meet in person, isn't it?]

Shun, right? I'm Makoto! --ah, I mean, you probably remember... It's nice to finally meet you in person!

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

Uh, yeah. Shun Maiyama. [ His name isn't really Shun, it's Haruki, but he introduced himself as Shun automatically and is too embarrassed to admit his mistake. Oops. ]

Nice to meet you too.

[ ......

Now what. ]

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

[makoto knows it's haruki... but he's not an ass. shun wanted to change his name on the contacts' list for a reason.]

--ah, yeah. Shall we go in?

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

[ Oh hey, he didn't even need to ask him to come in. ]

Ah, yeah, sure.

[ He'll be so embarrassed if he finds out Makoto knows. ]

Come in.

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

Are you home alone now? Or do you live with other people... My house used to be pretty empty for the first couple of months, but now it's been full for about a year now? It's pretty alright.

[inside, and towards the kitchen counter, where makoto places down the cake package.]

Here you are.

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

Uh, no. It's a full house. There's an octopus...

[ Which is still kind of weird, okay.

Also, the opened birthday present from the landlord is on the table, his headphone cable still in a mess. Don't pay attention to the obvious. ]

Thanks.

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

Oh, Takasu-kun.

[...]

[makoto looks around and is slowly putting two and two together]

Do you need help untangling that? I kinda like untangling things.

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

Yeah. [ Don't look at him. It's not like he wanted to spend his birthday with someone or anything, okay. ] Uh. I guess. If you want to.

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

[and makoto goes, to untangle these cables, sitting at the counter. you're in charge of the cake now.]

Have you had a good day so far?

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

Um. Yeah, I guess so. [ What? Oh. Plates. They need plates. And spoons. Is the cake already in pieces or does he need a knife too? ] ...Do you want anything to drink?

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

Have you got tea?

[you should know this feeling, fellow japanese friend]

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

I- I think we do. [ Excuse him fumbling to find tea and see if they're bags or leaves. Ah, there. Mugs, mugs... ] We have... green tea and red tea.

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

Green is good.

[these tangles are a pain, but makoto likes this kind of handiwork. it helps him focus and relax, so while shun fumbles, makoto is chill.]

You like to listen to music, don't you?

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

Okay. [ He'll fix the tea then. It'll just take a couple of minutes. ] Yes! I mean, yeah, I'm gonna be a musician, so of course I listen to a lot of music.

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

What's your favourite kind? Or, well, what kind do you produce most?

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

Rock music...

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

Really?!

[stops messing around with the cable] It's my favourite type too!

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

Uh, yeah. Really? You look more like the pop type.

[ Never mind that Shun sings pop with his idol group. ]

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

I get that quite a bit.

[a sigh, but--the cables are untangled now]

I don't dislike pop, but it's not my preferred genre.

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

Right. Same, I guess.

[ There's plates to put the cake on and forks and the tea is almost ready.

Now he has to decide if he has to bring a knife or not... Okay, he'll get one, and hope that it's actually needed. ]

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

[makoto whirls around, and presents the headphones]

--here you go, by the way, Shun. These are a really good brand. Did you get them? The wireless ones are a bit expensive, but I think they're worth the investment, if you're in the market for new ones in the future.

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

[ Whoa. He jumps just a little bit when Makoto turns around so suddenly. ] Uh, yeah, I'll look into it. And uh, yeah, I bought them in Tokyo.

Re: text, october 2

[splasher]

Oh, wow! You're also from Tokyo? And you're sure you've never met Tokiya-kun before?

Re: text, october 2

[syunsyun]

Yeah, I'm sure. You do know how many people live in Tokyo, right?
