Imeeji Day 54

[awakenerd]

[There will be some cw rape stuff or mentions in threads my dudes.]

Comments

[awakenerd]

[Goddess. He pats the padded floor and pillows.]

Better once you get over here.

[filetofish]

Well yeah.

[Cause I'm great? Also sitting as close as he can without getting a bad reaction.]

[awakenerd]

[He'll flop sideways onto Crow himself. See? Look. He's fine.]

Right? Because you're a reassuring big jerk.

[filetofish]

Yeah.

[He can't lie! He's gonna carefully cuddle Phoenix though, and kiss the top of his head.]

...I love you.

[He hasn't said it before but given the situation he figures it's time to stop being a butt about this particular thing.]

1/?

[awakenerd]

[awakenerd]

[Oh... His heart?]

[awakenerd]

[It's not like he didn't already basically know.]

[awakenerd]

[But somehow hearing it is kind of different all the same?]

[awakenerd]

[He laughs, softly, happy, tucking his face in Crow's shoulder.]

done

[awakenerd]

Yeah, and I love you too.

[filetofish]

[GOOD, Phoenix deserves some happiness, so mission accomplished! Even though it's embarrassing a little so he's flushed. He can hide that on Phoenix though.]

I'm not leaving til you tell me to.

[awakenerd]

So I guess that's never.

[filetofish]

Works for me.

[except when he leaves to start shit--]

[awakenerd]

Good. Because I plan to kick your butt at card games for a while.

[filetofish]

Oh yeah? I'm not gonna go easy on you.

[awakenerd]

It wouldn't be worth it if you did.

[filetofish]

That's what I thought!

[and look he brought all his card decks so we have plenty!! there's like 3 of them!]

I hope you're ready to lose.

[awakenerd]

Yeah? Bring it on, I'll make you regret that attitude.

[filetofish]

Bring it.

[He's shuffling a deck and dealing! His cards already look like they've received a lot of handling. He plays solitaire games on the regular and tbh probably plays with Phoenix on the regular too.]

[awakenerd]

[This is going to be a fierce competition but Phoenix loses more games than normal, even accounting for any cheating.]

[filetofish]

[There's a lot of cheating! Crow considers letting Phoenix win more, especially given how off his game he is, but... Phoenix doesn't need that kind of babying. It'll be kinder to treat him the same as always. Anything less would be insulting his ability to recover, as far as Crow's concerned.]

C'mon, Phoenix. Step it up!

[awakenerd]

Yeah yeah, I'll make up my loses, I'm just warming up.

[For all he gets into the competition he's... Really not going to do any better. It's just a matter of being tired and making mistakes. Even so he's not backing down or throwing in the towel about it.]

[filetofish]

You'll never meet my level.

[idk what we're even betting but Phoenix, you're gonna get cleaned out]

[awakenerd]

[Probably paper strips unless Hiryuu gets strawberries for ante.]

Don't get too arrogant. A losing streak won't last forever and then you'll really be regretting it.

[filetofish]

Oh yeah? Then you want to raise the stakes?

[Let's make a REAL BET, Phoenix!]
