literally the evening after the dub post

[genrouzan]

[ are you ready Izumi

because there's a little bag of macarons showing up on your doorstep.

only one flavour though - vanilla bean, the good kind with the little black bean specs visible in the batter. and a little note with a hand drawn smiley face. ]

[obsessiveness]

[ while this is the only bright thing that's happened to him after coming back home, izumi's just. too ticked off at this show of arrogance that he's just going to stash it in the refrigerator and throw it in the trash in the morning!!!

...well. maybe just one bite.

bleh, it is sweet, and he hates how he would've liked this if he could actually eat more. he'd have to give them to his sub since they'd go great with coffee, he figures. once they've both cooled over. ]

[genrouzan]

[ how shocking that izumi is fighting with someone. no one could ever have seen this event coming.

but regardless, the next day there's another little bag of treats - checkerboard cookies this time. Less sweet, with the good vanilla in the pale checks and rich cocoa in the chocolate squares. they'd probably go great with coffee!

... who is this strange baked goods fairy embarking on this strange warfare with izumi? it is a mystery. ]

[obsessiveness]

[ okay you know what, he's not stupid. where's his damn phone - ]

If you're trying to ask me out with this, it's not working.

[ he says as he's munching on one............ he's only taste-testing it, promise. ]

[genrouzan]

Don't flatter yourself. This is me proving a point in long game format.

[ He works at a cafe-turned-cocktail-bar-sex-club-after-dark, he's got all the time in the world to bake Izumi into a hissy fit. ]

[obsessiveness]

Nice to know that you're only wasting your time, I guess. I can't even eat most of this because of my job, idiot.

[ stuck as a model forever... ]

[genrouzan]

Giving you the leftovers from what I bake at work isn't wasting my time as much as it is recycling.

It's not like you have to eat them. Fling them at the authorities. Go make some friends with my handy work. Whatever floats your boat.

[obsessiveness]

You're still giving them to me for free, though. Are your sure your job won't mind?

[genrouzan]

If the alternative is throwing it all away then... nah. But if they kick up a fuss, then the snack cart is taking a permanent time out.

[obsessiveness]

[ mmm... monch. ]

Where do you work anyway?

[genrouzan]

[ look at that tsun face. ]

I'm one of the cooks over at PECs. I don't mind cooking, and the people are pretty fun to work with so it could be worse.

[ yup. he sure did just say PECs with no hint of irony. ]

[obsessiveness]

[ i-it's fine, because - ]

Ah

So you work with my Sub

[ Completely Fine. ]

[genrouzan]

I work with a lot of people. And a load of them are probably subs too.

[ Aka be more specific you drama prince. ]

[obsessiveness]

[ nnnnnnnnnnnn ]

He's a barista. Fluffy brown hair, red eyes. You can't be that blind if you're able to follow instructions from a recipe book to make these.

[genrouzan]

I'm not a mind reader either, able to pick out an individual from the vague phrase "oh, my sub".

[ Likes coffee, fluffy brown hair and red eyes... ]

Oh.

Yeah, I know the guy. Really likes his coffee. Once stuck his hands up my shirt because he was cold.

[obsessiveness]

I didn't ask for that last bit???

[ note to self: primal beasts get cold easily. hm. ]

He is addicted to the stuff, now that you mentioned it. I don't even know how he functions in society with 29583453 liters of caffeine running through his veins every damn day.

But whatever, I don't care about that. [ he cares immensely. ]

[genrouzan]

It happened, whether you want the play-by-play or not. He wasn't kidding about being cold though, those hands were freezing.

[ h e h ]

Maybe he needs the 29583453 litres of caffeine to function in society? Like some people have to start with a tea every morning.

[obsessiveness]

I get that, but he drinks them by the bucketful. I have no idea where he puts it all...

Anyway, I'm not in the mood to talk about him right now. Do I have to drop by PECs and pay you for this?

[genrouzan]

Maybe some people burn through caffeine quicker than others. Or just drink so much of it they get used to it -- isn't that something that happens with addictive substances?

[ Hm. That sounds like a live wire. Better leave that one alone? ]

Nah, just think of yourself as an especially opinionated trash bin. I'd rather not waste food.

[obsessiveness]

Does that mean you want my opinion on your baked goods? Yuri-kun, why didn't you just say so? ♪

They're simply way too sweet for my liking though, so sorry to say. Maybe someone who can actually eat this would appreciate it more.

[genrouzan]

Oh, I see. You're the kind of person who takes a free gift and snubs it. Fair, I guess.

I'll make you something even sweeter next time around, as penance.

[obsessiveness]

Oh, I'm not snubbing them. I supposed they'd go well with coffee, but...

[ mmm. ]

Anyway, I'm going to get back at you for this. Haven't had time to shop for ingredients for croquembouche, but mark my damn words. I *will* make you admit you like them.

[genrouzan]

[ here they are. trying to be threatening with baking. ]

Sounds like you're determined. I'm not afraid of admitting I like something, but you go for gold.

[obsessiveness]

[ if there's anything that's getting turned on in this conversation, it's the oven ]

Of course I am. I couldn't have gotten to where I am today back in my world if I don't go for gold or even platinum.

Though that doesn't matter while we're stuck here, does it.

[genrouzan]

Dunno. I'm not especially savvy about world hopping.

But you're still you, essentially. Even if you're not in the same world. It's up to you if you want to sulk about it, or just want to keep doing what sits good by you.
