[ He's running his hand through his hair as he smiles your way. ]
Yeah, it was pretty amazing to watch. [ And then help out some. ] Cindy was upstairs manning J's network for a bit while J and Dad were out back helping out with the bikes. [ His father at work was always a treat. That his health was way better now than he and his sister could have ever hoped for made it much more of a pleasure to watch. ] Mom commandeered the kitchen.
But you've tried her cooking.

I have. Now I know where you get your amazing skills from.
[Among other things.
Yes, he's letting that thought come out, in a way, in the look on his face. The one that tells you that he's thinking about something, making connections, and amusing himself with them.]

[ This text comes a little after evening training at Ateneo. They wrapped up early, so it was mostly drills and strategy -- and a whole lot of congratulations sent his, because someone spotted him looking at his Zangyaku mask and everyone else put two-and-two together. ]

hey, not sure what your schedule is like today but
dinner? my treat? if you're busy with the princess
that's cool. i've just missed you and last night
was pretty crazy.
[ What's that word you enjoy using so much that everyone gets into the habit of using it eventually? Oh yes -- interesting.
A gentle pat on your shoulder, ] Go sit, Hikaru.
[ He's leaving you to close the door -- you can do that, can't you? -- and making his way over to the liquor cabinet to pick out something for you both. ]

[He'll just put out his cigarette now, and stand up.]
Shall we?
[Heh.]
Shall we?
[Heh.]
[Getting that text just as he's stepping out of the shower and finishing arrangements with Rethe. The angel has insisted on taking duty for him again, and nothing he could do could deter the kid.
This is why he thinks you're awesome. Rethe.]
[He's not ashamed at all to be open about that.]

I'm not busy at all now, actually. Satsuki has a dinner with the President, and it's apparently a one-on-one sort of thing. Politics. :)
Anyway, someone else is going to handle picking her up, and dinner sounds like a great idea. I've missed you too.
[He's not ashamed at all to be open about that.]
[He picks up promptly. Funny: he was just thinking about how he missed your voice too.]
Or I could pick you up.
[You really do have to get used to his driving anyway.]

[No words from this one at that, just him shutting the door and locking it, and then making a beeline for that couch and slumping down.
Does he look tired? If so, that's because he is. He doesn't have the mental or emotional strength to deal with any of this, and the shock is starting to settle in.
No lighter for him when he goes for a cigarette; he'll settle for flame from his fingertips. He probably won't be able to get a lighter to work right now, and he knows it.]

I suppose they are.
[What are you getting at...
Yes. All of his heckles are up. You're probably the only one in this entire tram who could tell, though.]

[ You're terrible. But he loves you anyway.
Josh kills his cigarette at that, before leaning over to land a kiss on your mouth. ] Let's go.
[ Watami's on the sixth floor, and you'll note that when you get there, all Josh has to do is smile at the girl up front and she ends up greeting him by name and adding that your table is ready at the back. ]

[ And what Riley is setting down right in front of you is a bottle of Bourbon, aged well and not yet opened.
The last time you were both here, he was still trying to isolate a new emerging pattern. He's had ample time to observe you since, and to figure out what it might be.
The variables have been consistent, after all. ]

[ A sigh. ]
Must you be so defensive, little brother.
[ That's spoken in soft Aramaic. This conversation is between the two of you, and while he trusts present company to leave you be, it will be better that what goes on in this exchange remain between those concerned. ]

The one by the field, or our usual?
['Usual', of course, being Dela Costa. He's aware of your schedule, especially when you've got the day off from regular duties with Netsach.]

[...Okay yeah, he is definitely noting that down. Cue him giving you a look at that, excited and curious and touched and approving all at once.]
You really know how to make a boy feel special.
[Murmuring that as you're both heading into the restaurant. It's been ages since anyone's done something like this for him.]

[Reaching over to crack that open --
-- hum. Bourbon. How... apt.
And now he really wishes that he didn't make the connection. You're going to see his expression break a little now, Mr. Falner, right before he's trying yet again (and failing, yet again) to steal himself and focusing on opening the damned bottle.]

[He'll respond to you in kind, because privacy is a Thing.]
I don't know. Should I be, given how everyone seems rather intensely interested in my movements with them?
[It's not accusatory, at least not yet. He doesn't have a parameter at the moment for what you've been up to, and can only guess at what you might know, might not know, and what you might have pieced together.]

Busy, but the good kind of busy. Finally managed to stay with Satsuki for longer than just an hour.
[You're going to hear the sound of him getting ready.]
She says hi, by the way.
[You're going to hear the sound of him getting ready.]

[ There's a smile tuggung at the corner of his mouth when you say that. ] She seems like a really nice person.
[ He'd been able to watch the way she was paying attention to you during that one class, and he'd snuck looks your way during the practice after. You move a certain way around the people you care about, and he's seen a bit of that in the way you moved around her. ]
When you see her next, tell her I say hi right back. [ There's a momentary pause. ] Maybe, if she's okay with it... I can come with.on bodyguard detail.
[ You'll note the hint of shyness in that. ]
