[allowedlife]

Mmm, it's not that interesting. We can take a look in a little while if you really want to...

[ He's indifferent. ]

[tfy]

Yep, I want to! ♪

[He'll be the judge of whether or not it's interesting. You can usually tell at least a little bit about someone from looking at their room. For now, however, he'll just sip tea again.

And then add, after another pause:]

That wasn't me asking for a third round, by the way. I figure your body's still recovering from Round 2, so I wouldn't suggest that.

[You know. It wasn't that kind of "Let's take this to your bedroom."]

[allowedlife]

I guessed that. Even you have limits.

[ He snorts. ]

Just... give me a minute. I'm comfortable.

[ He doesn't wanna get up! ]

[tfy]

Right, right!

[He nods along.]

Though we also have a song about "breaking your limit."

[He'll just casually throw that in there, even though it seemingly contradicts what he just said about not wanting a third round. Mostly, he's teasing.

At any rate, they're on the same page about being comfortable right where they are. He stays snuggled up with Elan, making no move to get off the couch.]

I am too, so that's fine. Go ahead and cuddle me to your heart's content~♪

i'm so sorry, my inbox ate this comment and I just discovered it.

[allowedlife]

[ Groan. That pun-slash-innuendo gets him to give his head a little shove. ]

Don't worry, I plan on taking full advantage. You don't have to encourage me.

[ His eyes fall shut and he lets himself sink a little more into their cuddle session. It's... strange. He feels vulnerable and there's a part of him that still wants to run from this. On the other hand, it feels pretty damn good. ]

Although I guess it's nice to be wanted.

No worries! (But glad to have Elan-kun back in my inbox :))

[tfy]

[He already showed Elan the "Break your limit" song. Does Elan remember? Perhaps, but perhaps not; it's been a while since then. They've upgraded from love hotels to Elan's apartment! And Elan himself has upgraded to a better and brighter future for himself.

Has Hiyori done that, also...?]

Mhm. Especially by me!

[He chimes back, head resting against Elan's. His voice is soft as he confides, after a moment:]

That's why I became an idol, you know. Because I craved that feeling of love.

:>

[allowedlife]

Ah.

[ That's all he says at first. There's silence as he mulls that over and he considers, still curled against Hiyori's side. And then, after a long few moments of silence- ]

...did you find it?

[tfy]

I did indeed!

[His voice carries plenty of warmth. Though he also admits:]

It took some time, though. Things didn't work out in my last unit. And even in Eden, we've had our struggles. But now I can confidently say that I'm surrounded by love. Not just love from fans, but love from friends, family, myself...

[He shoots a sly look out of the corner of his eye.]

... and perhaps even Elan-kun! ♪

[allowedlife]

Don't get too ahead of yourself.

[ Elan snorts. ]

I didn't say anything like that.

[tfy]

Eh?

[He pulls back to look at Elan properly, eyes wide with (feigned) surprise.]

Then what was all that cuddly stuff before? Elan-kun hasn't been faking his interest in me, has he? It's much too late for a twist like that!

[allowedlife]

Being cuddly and lovey-dovey are two different things, right?

[ Elan teases. ]

But I am still interested in you, so don't panic too much.

1/2

[tfy]

Well... I guess so...

[But who wouldn't love him? He still seems uneasy!]

2/2

[tfy]

[Until Elan says that last line. Slowly, he starts to smile again, before abruptly throwing his arms around Elan's neck. (The mug of tea in his lap stays tucked between his thighs and doesn't spill over, miraculously.)]

Right, of course you are! I'm me, after all! And you're you! ♪

[His grip might be a bit too tight. But that's how glad he is!]

[allowedlife]

[ Elan manages to not spill his either and he laughs aloud, swaying a little as he's grabbed. ]

Hey, watch it, or there's gonna be tea all over you-!

[ God, he is cute. Even if he's not about to say it. ]

At least you're smiling again.

[tfy]

[Hiyori snuggles up against him, pressing his face into the juncture of Elan's shoulder and neck.]

Of course I am!

[He speaks against Elan's skin, contented and warm.]

It's how I show love! Just ask Nagisa-kun, or any of my fans.

[allowedlife]

[ OK, Elan can't really complain with Hiyori snuggled up into him like this. Well, he could... but for once he doesn't want to. ]

You're a goof. But I'm OK with that.

[ His free hand lifts and he gently cards fingers into his hair. ]

You've got to have some fun now and again, right?

[tfy]

[In turn, he could get used to having Elan's hands run through his hair. He leans into the touch, enjoying it for its novelty—no one really touches him so casually, and given how much of his job involves looking good, most people no better than to mess with his hair. But he's off the clock right now, and it's fine if it's Elan-kun. Right?]

Right! But a "goof" sounds like someone who's full of nonsense, so I'd prefer if you used a prettier term! Like "free spirit"~♪

[allowedlife]

Fine, fine. "Free spirit". Are you happy?

[ He says it like he's talking to a puppy, in all honesty. Maybe he can be excused a bit of teasing... ]

[tfy]

Mhm! ♪

[He hums his assent, still snuggled as close as possible. Usually he's the one who treats people like pets, but if the tables have turned and he's become Elan's prized pet for the moment, then so be it.]

I'm always happy with Elan-kun. Feeling his warmth, listening to his voice, and hearing how much he likes me...♪ It's cute!

[allowedlife]

Well, I guess I'll just have to accept that, since you're also cute like this. Wouldn't be fair of me to deny you.

[tfy]

Right, I'm always cute! ♪

[A cheerful agreement while he remains snuggled.]

Since you're all about fairness, I guess it'll be my turn to spoil you after this. First you spoiled me by cooking for me, and then I spoiled you with those gifts I brought. Then we both spoiled each other for a while! But now it's back to you spoiling me, so next time I'll spoil you~♪

[allowedlife]

Oh? Yeah? What are you planning now?

[ Color him curious! ]

[tfy]

Depends! ♪ On what Elan-kun wants most! What is it your heart desires~?

[In other words...

He has no idea. But perhaps his seductive smile and the way he gazes into Elan's eyes will distract from that obvious fact.]

[allowedlife]

Well, in terms of everything?

[ He laughs. ]

...there's a lot I could ask for in life, but I guess this will do for now. [ Why does that seductive smile make his heart flip? No reason, surely. ]

[tfy]

Just for now, huh~?

[He teases, but won't argue. It'd be unfair to claim he's all Elan needs when he can't even give Elan any form of commitment.]

I guess that's fair. We idols aren't gods who can grant wishes. But we can heal people's lonely hearts sometimes ♪

[Is Elan lonely?

Perhaps, or perhaps not. It's hard to tell. He seems to be doing well for himself but he also lives alone. Hiyori knows that not everyone craves constant company the way he does, though.]
