"Come on, have you ever known me to get mad at you?" He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Now that I'm here, why don't I cook something for us? Unless you've been so involved in other things that you haven't gone grocery shopping this week?" It wouldn't be the first time.

" I mean , yeah , sure ... But sometimes I like it when you come runnin' to check on me . " A hand moved to tuck hair back behind one ear, cheeks warming slightly as eyes flicked away briefly. Maybe it was a silly thing, but she just couldn't help herself.

" I'm sorry if I worried you at all ... You're not mad , are you ? "

[streamingandsuffering]

"Ah, I see." So it was exactly as he thought. For a moment, he'd been sitting next door in his own apartment and thought she was being attacked or something.

"You know you could've just called or messaged me, right? I would've come over."

To be fair, at least she wasn't being destructive! Propping her chin against his chest arms were quick to wrap around his torso, taking the opportunity to nuzzle against him like the brat she was.

" I was bored and lonely , but not any more ~ " She laughed. " I missed you , Minato ~ "

[streamingandsuffering]

Yeah, she's not unlike a cat who will yowl and knock things off the table to get its owner's attention.

Still.

"And why were you screaming?" he asks, letting her cuddle right up to him.

@streamingandsuffering : Not like the neighbors aren't used to hearing her scream. Minato just waits for her to stop.

Oh! Minato's here!

The screaming almost instantly stopped, bright smile settling on Himari's face as she reached out toward him. She wants snuggles!!

[streamingandsuffering]

He's trying to hide his laugh. "I could carry you, but then I wouldn't have my hands free to get those snacks."

Well, that was one way to do things ... Still, Himari moved to prop her chin against his chest, arms lazily wrapping around him as she cuddled herself into his warmth.

" But doing that would mean it's hard to get kisses too , y'know ? " She's being difficult today.

[streamingandsuffering]

He chuckled.

"Well. Since it'd just be to the kitchen, I can probably let you get on my back and put a blanket over you." Yeah he's used to these weird compromises with her by now.

@streamingandsuffering : Minato vc: You know you can just tell me what you want, right?

" ... It's coooold ... I wanna snuggle , but I also wanna get snacks ... "

[streamingandsuffering]

@constellaris:

It's been a lazy day for the pair, for once, all because Himari refused to let Minato go anywhere without her there in his arms. Laying atop his chest almost like some overgrown cat dressed in little more than one of his shirts she took the opportunity to press kiss after kiss to every inch of his face slowly and gently, smile on her face all the while. " Mm ... I wish we could be like this more often ... " Himari mumbled. " I love you , Minato ... "

He was fine with this. It was a good day to just relax, and she wasn't in the way of doing that. On the contrary, really all he did around the apartment was play some games, and she'd curled up on his lap and laid her head against his chest while he did. Now here they were, relaxing on the couch with some show or other on quietly in the background.

A content smile was on lips as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

"Love you, too."

[streamingandsuffering]

Minako grinned as Roxy came in. "I ordered delivery so we don't even need to venture out. Let's take a look." While on the phone, she'd already gotten out her measuring devices and some pins.

"And what fancy occasion are you going to, anyway?"

[txt] Aye Aye, moi capitan~

Ten minutes later had Roxy showing up, a garment back in hand. She grinned in greeting. "Hello there."

[streamingandsuffering]

(text) Sounds like a plan. Just come on in, you know the building code.

[txt] Congrats!

[txt] Meet at your place in 10 minutes?

[streamingandsuffering]

@mischievousfires

sender kisses receiver to shut them up. (Minato)

Honestly, Minato didn't think himself to be too much of an antagonistic person. But there was just something about Setsuka that brought it out in him. Her reactions to his teasing were always worth it, he felt, and so maybe that was why it had become the primary way he addressed her. Even when they were here in his apartment, starting the paper part of the assignment.

They'd originally planned on meeting on campus, but a snowstorm had knocked power out to half the city, and their college was in that half. He was honestly surprised she'd agreed to come over, but here they were.

And perhaps he'd pushed her a little over the edge. He was teasing her even from the other room as he made tea, and as soon as he came back into the living room with two cups, she pulled him down and into a kiss, very effectively cutting off what he'd been saying.

He stopped cold, and when she ended the kiss, he was starting at her.

"...should I take that personally or..."

The question was said in a lighthearted tone, but there was probably more to it than he was willing to share with her.

Still, he'd go with it for now.

"Sure, why not. We'll see if you're happy to spend that much time with me in a couple weeks."

What a strange question he asked. Still, even if it was the case, Setsuka is already used to doing everything herself anyways. Smiling at his words, she leans back against her chair and crosses her arm across her chest.

"I wouldn't be asking if I thought the way, right? So what do you say? It'll save us both the trouble of asking who's available in class." She stated.

[streamingandsuffering]

Oh. He hadn't actually been expecting her to ask him. That threw him for a second, and he put down the book he'd just taken out of his bag so he could actually turn his attention to her.

"You sure you wouldn't feel dragged down by me?" he asked, arching his eyebrows at her.

He doesn't have a partner yet? In that case, Setsuka might as well ask him if he's interested in being hers since that way they both don't have to worry about asking their peers if they have one already. Plus, she much prefers to work with someone she can converse with, but there would be moments when she'll try her best not want to throw something at him.

"Are you fine with partnering up with me? Shakespeare is my forte, after all." She questioned.

[streamingandsuffering]

"I've spent a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get this far, so the appreciation is always welcome." She smiled, reaching over to pull Roxy into a side-hug.

"We'll get lunch and I'll see what needs to be done. How's curry sound?"

"All the others you've managed for me have gone pretty quick given your skills. I imagine it'd be harder if you had to add to the thing rather than take it in." She gave a rueful grin. "I can repair rips and tears well enough, but nothing more complicated than that. I admire your skill."

[streamingandsuffering]

Ah, right. He needed an art credit, so he'd taken a Shakespearean theater class that semester. And that was how he'd met Setsuka, because they likely wouldn't have classes together otherwise, considering he was a senior and she was only in her second year.

"Not yet. I don't really know anyone in the class. I figured I'd just see who's left next class." Reciting a couple scenes from a play with someone and turning in a paper analyzing those scenes didn't have to be that personal.

Shaking her head a bit at his words, Setsuka lifted her head up from the desk, staring at him, finding him to be unbelievable at the moment. Combing through her long locks with her fingers, she lets out a soft sigh as a wry smile appears on her face. Grabbing the crumbled-up paper ball, she throws it at him.

"Hey Minato, do you have a partner yet for the upcoming assignment?" She asked.

[streamingandsuffering]

"Then no harm done." And then he reached for his own bag.

"Don't mind me, though. I didn't come to the library to tease you. That was just a bonus. I have my own work to get done."

"Ah..."

Well, he's not exactly wrong about that but still, she now finds herself unable to focus on her work because of him. At least, Setsuka is not behind on her classwork, but she hoped to get future assignments done so she wouldn't have to worry about them. Now all her attention is on the male sitting across from her with that slight smirk.

"I do..." She murmured, laying her head on top of the desk.

[streamingandsuffering]

She nodded. "I'll figure it out once I see how much work needs to be done. Shouldn't take too long since it's not from scratch."

She gave a thumbs up. "Sounds fantabulous~" She grinned. "Thanks again. I really do appreciate it. Just let me know what I owe you when you determine it." It was enough that her friend could fit the alterations.
