I also have this recording lol it was when Hirose became a guest on a radio show co-hosted by Hondo Kaede and Tomita Miyu (though in this particular recording, it's mostly just Hondo and Hirose talking).

it's a radio show for this multimedia series called Deep Insanity where they all appeared together. I've never followed the series itself actually, but I only listened to this particular episode because it featured Hirose and Hondo LMAO for context: Survive seiyuu........ Hirose voiced Shuuji and Hondo voiced Aoi

Hondo: you know, this Hirose Yuuya person--how do I put it--he's someone who gets very excited about alcohols

Hirose: LOL WAIT WAIT can you put it in a better way?? people will get the wrong idea lol "someone who gets very excited about alcohols" doesn't sound very good

Hondo: so, um, for example--we worked together in this different work a few years ago. after the recording, you know how there was like, "people who like drinking, let's go drinking together~!" and stuff back then? it was a few years ago, but I remember how he was super giddy about it.

Hirose: well, true, but the way you put it is a bit dangerous LOL

Hondo: also, there's this... well, you see, you're a senpai (in the seiyuu industry), but at the same time you're younger than me*, so I keep addressing you as just Hirose without any honorifics

Hirose: yeah, it's quite a strange situation

Hondo: yeah indeed

Hirose: but today, you suddenly started using keigo with me (jp polite register), saying stuff like "excuse me" and "Hirose-san", what's up with that?? is it because we haven't worked together in a long time so you treat me like a stranger now?

(I don't quite catch what they're talking about here, need context of the show since they're talking about a character from the series it seems?)

Hirose: anyway now that I think of it again, it hasn't been a long time, we meet for Deep Insanity recording every week! so why?

Hondo: well, we don't really talk, do we?

Hirose: LOL

Hondo: we don't really talk, so--

Hirose: well we don't really ta-- wait, we talk a lot!! we do talk, right? our agency offices are near to each other too (note: their agencies belong to the same parent company). so are you treating me like a business partner? say it clearly here and now if you dare, during a live broadcasting--

Hondo: well maybe, yeah, you're sort of like a business partner for me

Hirose: LOL

Hondo: TRUTHFULLY SPEAKING if someone asks me about Hirose Yuuya, the things that come to my mind are-- first, he loves alcohols.

Hirose: LMAOOOOO

Hondo: second, he's a really good-natured person through and through... maybe

Hirose: maybe?

Hondo: yeah maybe... at least that's how you are in my mind

Hirose: lol

Hondo: also, ever since I met him--and I mean this in a good way--he's always seemed like a university student. and I want you to stay like this forever actually

the talk went on longer but since I don't really have the context of the show...

*further context: they're actually just around one month apart in terms of age, but when it comes to school year, Hondo is one year above Hirose, which is why she emphasized him being younger than her instead of saying they're the same age.

Slumber | VLKR

   Sunlight poured soothingly through the windowpane. Faint sounds of people walking about and louder sounds of Pokémon prancing around the house shook the woman awake. Low grumbles tickled her lips. Twitching at the ray of sun kissing her eyelids, Akari rubbed one eye before slowly sitting up.

   Arms stretched upwards, she let out a yawn. Sleeves of her jinbei slid downwards. Black strands hair cascaded forward as she tilted her head forward.

   Ah, I’m so lazy, the thought crossed her mind. In truth, she would rather take a few more hours of sleep. However, she knew her work would not accept her in doing so. As much as she was the hero of the village, she wasn’t excused from working in order to survive. Besides, Akari knew better than to bear Commander Kamado’s ruthless scoldings or incite Cyllene’s quiet fury.

   Black eyes peeked at the man beside her.

   He peacefully snoozed, face snuggled inside the hadakake futon. Though blonde strands covered most of his eyes, Akari could see such a serene expression. The man lay on his left side, facing her. She wondered if he ever moved in his sleep considering that the only movement from him was that he had scooted an inch backwards after snuggling with her last night.

   Ah, her cheeks burned at the memory.

   A smile tugged her mouth.

   At times like these, her heart truly fluttered for him.

   “Alright then…” mumbling to herself, Akari carefully lifted her side of the quilt and slid out—

   Or at least, she tried to, if not for her right wrist being firmly gripped.

   Her smile popped to a gape. Akari turned to the right. “Volo?!” Shock roused her awake. Widened eyes blinked at her held wrist, then at the man whose face was still hidden beneath the quilt.

   He muttered not a word, but grumbled a low grumble.

   After years of being together, she knew what it meant completely.

   “Volo…” a sigh escaped through pink lips. “I need to get ready. I need to go to Veilstone Cape today and I can’t afford to be late.” Lightly, she tugged her left hand.

   Firmly, he held her right wrist still.

   Surprise bubbled into annoyance. “Volo.” Again, she called his name. “Come on. If I’m late, I’m gonna get scolded. Do you want me to get scolded?” Mean as she was to try and guilt trip him, Akari found her actions justified as she saw him not easing up on his hold.

   He still didn’t say a peep. He still had his face hidden.

   What she once thought was cute a minute ago now started to irritate her. “Volo—!”

   “Stay…”

   The very spark of her anger dissolved in an instant once she heard his low voice.

   His hand lowered from her wrist to the back of her hand. Fingers gingerly brushed the back of it. Mumbling incoherent noises, Volo positioned his hand so that he could hold hers properly. Fingers squeezed around the sides of her fingers. Gently. Softly.

   Finally, Volo lowered the quilt.

   Grey eyes glazed in a mix of slumber and affection. Volo peeked upwards at the stunned women. “Please stay…” he pleaded, voice deep and husky. Though left eye hidden behind blonde locks, Volo quietly begged with a glance of his right eye. Blush kissed his cheeks too, shading adorably under his eyes. Whether or not his actions were done subconsciously, he gently pulled her right hand and pressed a meek kiss at the back of her fingers.

   The sight and sound alone were robbing her of air.

   As if an arrow had shot straight to the screaming heart, Akari tightly pursed her mouth before letting out a heavy sigh. Heat now burning to the tips of her ears, she stifled a low, low, moan that vibrated in her throat.

   Damn him. Damn him, damn him!

   “F-Fine…” Knowing she was fighting a losing battle, Akari slid back into the futon. She could worry about the consequences later.

   Hell, she didn’t need to worry about anything at all once she felt her body being pulled to a warm hug.

   “Mmm…” Mouth tickled to a brief smile. Volo pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Akari…” Her name slurred in a deep murmur, he then nuzzled the top of her head. Right arm draped around her waist, pulling her to a possessive embrace that showed no signs of letting go anytime soon. Within seconds, he fell back into deep sleep, breathing tickling the tip of her still burning ear.

   Ah, I’m so screwed, the thought crossed her mind. Still, she couldn’t be angry as Akari scooted closer into his warm chest. His heart seemed to race still, actually lulling her back to a world of dreams.

  A shaky smile accompanied her hot face as Akari felt her eyelids droop.
