[ V'seji is basically like a ragdoll when carried, allowing R'yoji to cradle him however he wants as he gets comfortable till he's placed on the bed. However, his eyes widen and ears perk up when he hears the sound of those wings. It takes a second or two before he chortles softly, finding it funny how his friend's personality shows even in these newly given limbs. It's something they both have to get used to.
Before he even reaches the mattress does he start purring, finding his eyelids feeling heavier and heavier with every step his friend takes. Usually, he doesn't find it so easy to sleep... Before, he always had trouble, merely pretending to sleep until he finally does. V'seji doesn't quite like this new world they're in, but the peace... The lack of pressure. It isn't that bad.
Once plopped onto the bed, he splays and stretches his arms over his head with a large yawn. It ends with a couple of smacks of his lips before his hands rest over his stomach, waiting for R'yoji to plop beside him, but no. The other Miqo'te idly hovers over him before nuzzling him down. ]
Why wouldn't it be? [ A content rumble sounds in his throat as he squirms under his friend. It's a bit hard to rub his back like he used to, so instead he reaches for his friend's face with a hand to caress a cheek then snake through his hair. ] Rest, Yoji.
[ Closing his eyes, he continues to pet him, hoping that it's soothing enough. ]
[ The only thing V'seji receives at sound of his chortling is a pout. Hush, you. However, for the most part his friend is a content form of smiles and purrs. Always finding interest in the more softer curve of those lips. Normally used for certain situations and scenarios. More often than not more of the quirky coy kind. It's what has him easing into this affection, wanting more of those smiles. Quite content however if merely catching sound of that rumble as he nuzzles against his friend.
Eyes blink and soon flutter at the motion of that hand holding him, leaning into the caress before lowering to a close and followed soft sigh when fingers slip through hair. He hears the coaxing command and almost promptly does so. But instead he focuses on those fingers, large feathery limbs drooping before curving at his asides to cocoon them both when he finally settles down. Not entirely wishing to suffocate him he doesn't drop all of his weight onto his companion. Though shifting onto his side proves a moment of awkward as wings fumble to adjust. Wanting to curl around them both but also avoiding any painful bending. ]
Alright alright. [ Ears quiver back as he feels those fingers run through once, twice... before he even realizes it, he's asleep. Fortunately not for long, he meant it when he said he needed some shopping again. But whenever the wakes up he humors a few more minutes as he gingerly runs fingers through black hair with a blanket of feathers cozying closer. ]
[ It was such a short nap yet it was still fulfilling. V’seji finds himself dreaming of home where their friends are. It’s odd. He was never one to get homesick now that he’s grown, but... maybe he didn’t have one for a while. He’s begrudgingly coaxed away by the first touch, humming as he rubs their ankles together.
It’s always comfortable to have company, even when he thinks back on how he never quite cherished it. Sometimes he would stay only because he sought something from them. Otherwise he left without a word. ]
Hm. Were we always like this?
[A short tease to remind them of how they used to be—at each other’s throats in a different sense. There was never a time they would wake up in the same bed, slotted together like they were meant to be. His heart squeezes at the thought as his eyes open to slight crinkles.
He reaches out again, brushing some of the dyed strands out of his face and admiring his features despite the scars. ]
I hope you slept well despite feathers and all.
[ V’seji’s hand travels to his friend’s back, petting a wing to draw attention back to this anomaly. He swore these were part of a dream, too. ]
[ It's such a simple touch. The feel of their ankles rubbing together, hearing that hum so close to him. He leans in a little further as the wing blanketing over them flutters a little. He blinks once at the question before huffing a short chuckle. ]
No, I cannot say we were. [ Even if it is a tease there is truth to it, R'yoji never stuck around for anybody. It happened very rarely that he did with V'seji.. which only had him suffering some teasing that riled him up and not in the good way. However, things have changed over time, since their reunion. The more they spent time in one another's company. The events they went through together, returning to their antics of bedding like before and yet it led to this.
Lingering so close, like lovers in their everyday life. The way his heart flutters and finds a distance yearning that it were true. Something he never cared too much before. Maybe once, a distant thing he assumed to be love.
This he felt he wanted more than anything else. Eyes flutter to a close when fingers brush hair aside, breath catching before soon humming out as those fingertips mapped along his back to the length of a wing. Which quivers under the touch before pressing back a little. ]
Well enough. [ He almost doesn't want to leave. He doesn't say so, but there's a lingering disappointment as he considers the next course of action. ] Should get the shopping done before I get any more comfortable.
[ It's too late for that but maybe if he says it it'll be true. If only he could forget about his appetite, let it be hunger or another. But he knows what food they have at home won't likely satisfy him for the next few days of the cycle. He stretches a little with wings joining in sync and nearly topple the lamp over which has him almost jolting up in bed with quick blinking.
If he wasn't awake before, he most certainly was now. ] ..Maybe the sooner the better.
[ V'seji still has R'yoji in his grasps, mostly massaaging his ears and scratching behind them... At least until he, too, jolts at the sound of toppling table furniture. Ears stay upright atop his head with gold eyes wide, peering over the mattress to see the sad lamp. It takes him a moment before an ear flickers and the shock subsides.
And he starts laughing........... So hard, for a very long time, as his friend gets ready. God. R'yoji may not be the swiftest and most nimble of ninjas, but this is just outright clumsy and unlike him. He. Can't. ]
G-go on ahead. I'll... [ Hehehehehe. ] Handle that and get ready after you.
[ His voice shakes between snickers as he shoos his friend away with the bat of his hand. Go!! ]
[ R'yoji almost jolts once more when that sound of laughter boils out of his friend back to him. Ears flicker back and forward in a brief moment of puzzlement until it fully registers he's laughing at him. It earns a single flick of his ear and an almost last of his tail. Not to mention a shuffle of almost ruffled wings.
Yes, yes. Laugh away! Ha ha. ( Nevermind that fuzzy sensation coiling in his stomach at sound of it. ) Now, he made for a most excellent shinobi but that is neither here nor there since most anyone would lose such balance with additional limbs.
But of course his friend finds it funny. That brief pout is a scowl now, brows knitting with an almost huff as he ( most definitely does not sulk) moves away. Getting himself ready. Well as ready as he can be, he's had to settle for a slightly less covered top to allow wings the access to be out and not constricted tightly against his back looking like an utter fool.
Certainly shows off more of his skin of his arms, nothing too strikingly new outside the black ink tattoos and various scars left behind from battle. Once ready he's found by the door with arms crossed and likely possibly still a bit grumpy. ]
