12/25 Action

[hurricanechef]

[ Atsushi had been out all day giving little gifts to his potential friends, that he didn't make it back to their place until a little later. When he gets back home and puts his stuff away, he walks off to the kitchen area and heats up a plate of curry for En. He was a little busy making a bunch of this stuff for other people.

He then wandered into the living room area of their apartment and gently sat a box down on top of En's back. ]

[slothly]

[ As always, Atsushi had been more productive than En. In a terrible turn of events, En needed to work this morning... so he could have enough money for today. It was kind of weird for it to be Christmas again so soon. In fact, it felt like they'd just celebrated it.

So while Atsushi is being Atsushi later in the day, En is collapsed face down on the couch, attempting to be dead to the world. He's got that odd feeling of being too tired to sleep. It's weird and he hates it. But there's something weighing down on his back, and he immediately knows it was worth it to go to work today to get that extra money. ]

Again?

[ If En ever ventures off into the kitchen of their joined apartment, he will find not only
1 sleeping Atsushi

sleeping on the table with his face in his arms, he will also find a plate with a big heart shaped chocolate and a bunch of little ones all around it. The big one is flavored of En's usual taste, while the little ones are all with spicy spices mixed in.

That isn't all though. Beside the the plate of chocolates was was a very clear and lovely raindrop cake. There was a design made into it that looked much like a water droplet falling into a puddle. There was a note beside the sweets saying "For En-chan.]

[slothly]

[ When En comes into the kitchen and sees the display on the table, he feels a little embarrassed about the small cloth-wrapped chocolates he made. Okay, to be fair he'd made like ten batches at like 3AM and this is the only batch that turned out all right. So he gently sets his own chocolate on the table and rests a hand on Atsushi's back to see if he's really asleep. ]

i am the latest

[schmisse]

[ it's valentine's day, and weiss has heard all about it from people from earth! she doesn't have a significant other, but it's apparently okay to celebrate with friends, so that's what weiss decides to do.

a messenger bird will swoop in gracefully and drop a small bouquet with a card that reads: ]

Happy Valentine's Day. Stop being lazy.

Yours truly,
Weiss Schnee.

[hurricanechef]

[ There was a gentle knock on En's door. He didn't want to be rude and burst in, especially if En was resting. ]

[slothly]

[ En is currently in his bed, facedown and becoming one with his pillow. He does reply, but it's muffled. ]

You don't have to knock....

[ And he heard the footsteps so he knows it's Atsushi and not some hooligan trying to break into his room. ]

voice | idk two days later after that log!!

[schmisse]

Hey, En?

When we met that night, I just wasn't feeling... great. I guess I didn't make a good first impression, huh?

[slothly]

[ En's a little surprised to hear from her. He thought he'd been the one who'd made a terrible first impression and damaged her friendship with Atsushi, but... ]

No, you were fine. After you told us what had happened while you were gone, we should have just let you get back to bed. It was clear you had a lot on your plate that night and... ah... well, don't be angry with Atsushi. He really missed you and was worried about you, but he's too passive and shy of a person to admit that. I thought I'd be helping if I could get the three of us to talk, but I think I went a little overboard.

So I'm sorry for that, Weiss.

[hurricanechef]

[ he really did cause such a hard time for En this whole week. He couldn't believe how much trouble he's caused for him. He had to make it up to him. He was such... such a bad friend! While getting En's favorite curry ready on the stove, he hurried over to the living room to find En. ]

Is there anything I can get for you? Another Pillow perhaps... or... a drink? Maybe some tea? Coffee? I can get you a blanket?

[slothly]

[ En's lying on his side and hugging a pillow to his chest. To no one's surprise, Atsushi's questions fall on deaf ears since En's asleep. On the other hand, this is the first nap he's taken in a week or so. ]

a letter.

[schmisse]

[ delivered by a mailman!! ]

Dear En,

How do you do? You might be wondering why I'm writing to you. It's because I'd like to promote writing letters again. This is much more personal compared to receiving a text, or in this case, receiving a telepathic message. Look at the cute stamp this letter comes with!

It's been a while since we last spoke. I hope you're doing well. In case you were curious, Jaune and I resolved our issue. I suppose all it took was honesty and humility. The latter wasn't very easy for me. in any case, we're now on speaking terms again. We also destroyed the first floor of our house during a fight, but we've managed to fix everything now.

Please let me know if there's anything you need. I'd be happy to help, the same way you helped me.

Respectfully yours,
Weiss.

[slothly]

[ A letter is returned in kind! It would have been shorter, but Atsushi made him write more........... ]

Weiss,

As I recall, the job description requested that respondants write letters to their friends. :) I'm glad you've reaffirmed our friendship. I had actually planned to write to you anyway, but it seems we both signed up for the same job.

I'm glad you worked it out with your friend, but you sounded so casual when you mentioned that you destroyed part of your home and then apparently fixed it up again.

It occurred to me when writing this letter that Atsushi and I should invite you somewhere. Would you be against trying out the bath house?

En

7-2

[hurricanechef]

[ Sorry En, but you are getting woken up around noon by your best friend. ]

[slothly]

[ Apology not accepted. How dare Atsushi wake him up around noon! Though, on one of his days off, he'd probably sleep until nightfall if Atsushi didn't wake him up. And so, for Atsushi's effort, En groans sleepily and eventually gives him a bleary, barely-awake stare. ]

Yeah...?

2 july.

[schmisse]

[ weiss is barely in any mood to go out right now; she just wants to be alone. it's a friend's birthday, though, so she tells herself she wants to do this! it's why she's knocking on en and atsushi's door.

she has a bouquet of blue flowers with her, and a box wrapped in white lace and a lilac ribbon! inside is a blue fleece blanket because what do you even give to a lazy person??? weiss has no clue. ]

[slothly]

[ En still prefers to think of himself as an energy-saver rather than lazy, but even so he opens the door! ]

Ah, Weiss.

[ It might be hard to notice, given his perpetually deadpan expression, but he does brighten up when he sees her. ]

Are these for Atsushi?

[ He doesn't want to assume they're for him, despite the blue and white theme she has going on with her apparent gifts. Besides, white and blue seem to be Weiss' colors, too, like an oddly warm ice queen. On top of that, he'd feel silly if he assumed they were for him when they weren't. ]

8/15, voice

[sweetjoker]

[ J was totally not stalking that one particular conversation between En and Atsushi, where Atsushi is showing...strange colors, so to speak. Sssshh, friendship is a mystery and he's curious to all shapes it might take. ]

Hello, Yufuin-kun. [ Maybe En remembers that voice, maybe he doesn't. Sorry, J isn't fond of the image feature. ] Did Atsushi-kun hit his head on something lately? Or develop an interesting allergy?

[ It's heavily implied that by those questions, he's talking about that post Atsushi made earlier in the day. ]

[slothly]

[ It takes him a few moments to put a face to the voice. He remembers him at the gardens a few months back, when he and Atsushi were debating magical boy outfit shorts... and catchphrases. It pays to be hyper observant. Sometimes. ]

You... remember, then? I'm not out of my mind to think that Atsushi's the one affected by whatever's going on and not myself, right?

9-05 [Action ]

[hurricanechef]

[ It had been a long few weeks for the two of them. For a second time in a row Atsushi had been affected by something this island caused. En of course was very forgiving, or rather he continuously told Atsushi that there was nothing to forgive, and Atsushi tried to accept those words. It's just, the past couple weeks since he's been back to his usual self, it felt like there was something wrong with En. Maybe he wasn't feeling well? Maybe work was just exhausting, but Atsushi swears he hadn't seen much of En from him going to work and going straight to bed.

It was troubling, really troubling, but Atsushi wanted to stay strong. He thought maybe En needed some space from him, from the strange happenings, and everything. He wanted to respect En's wishes like a good friend and leave him to himself, but after a while it was really wearing Atsushi out as well.

That night Atsushi had made his best attempt at "Veren Island lakefood curry???" in hopes that En might come out of his room. As the curry was finishing cooking, Atsushi made his way over yo En's room and knocked on the door gently. ]

En-chan, are you awake?

[slothly]

[ En doesn't answer in hopes that Atsushi will take his silence for a "no." He knows that Atsushi knows him too well and probably won't buy it, but En's not up for talking to anyone today. He's not up for anything, really. Although he promised he'd do better and prove that he wasn't just some lazy, sloppy asshole, he hasn't done anything to change things. ]

[universalboy]

Senpai, is Atsushi actually a housewife?

[slothly]

What? Not in the literal sense, but in the sense that his personality is that of a doting wife... or a doting mom. Why...?

Mystery Gift - November.

[empc]

[ When En wakes, he will find that his crystal is glowing! His emotion drops for the month of Octha have resonated with Empatheias' giant crystal, and a reaction has been formed.

By his feet, he will find a bag of ground coffee labeled "BL-EN-D". It tastes like whatever En wants it to taste like while and it will give him an incredible amount of energy. The flavour will remain the same even if somebody else drinks it. He will be able to make 10 cups before the bag runs out.

(Thank you for submitting to the Emotion Tracker!) ]

voice, 23/12.

[schmisse]

[ Atsushi and Ryuu have received their gifts by the time Weiss contacts him. She has no idea how to even see him without Atsushi being there, so she hopes she can organise a short meeting for just the two of them so she can give him his present. ]

I hope you're not sleeping. [ :D!! ] I have something to give you.

[slothly]

[ She saw Atsushi without En being there!! It's possible. On occasion. ]

Even if I were sleeping, I'd still get up for you, you know....

[ He pauses, wondering why she's giving him something today. It's not Christmas Eve! ...Is it? Now he's beginning to doubt himself, and so he rummages around for his calendar. ]

...Ah, wait, why? It's not a lecture, is it?

Action

[hurricanechef]

[ While en Was reading on the couch, Atsushi was sort of psyching himself up. It took him a good ten minutes after preparing En's gift box to finally be able to breathe. He comes out, lightly poking En's side with a box and a warm smile. ]

[slothly]

Ah, Atsushi, are we doing Christmas again...?

[ It's a joke because this will be their third Christmas in a little over a year. ]

You didn't have to get me anything.

[ He says when he has Atsushi's and Ryuu's gift in his bedroom. En sets his comic aside and takes the box with an appreciative smile. ]
