Ah. He was getting all the soft rewards tonight. His hopes on the bike had clearly been shooting too low. Then again, that sort of just made this all even better.

Briefly, Kai sort of wondered if maybe he was missing something? It didn't stay long enough to think about asking though. He was just a little bit distracted by all sorts of things. The idea that this was something that needed enough thought to be put together, tasty cake, the way Shinji looked framed by the evening sky as the stars trickled in.

The usual distractions.

"Mm. Glad you like it." He shoved another bit of cake in his mouth, turning his own gaze upwards to watch the last faint trails of orange give way to the inky blues chasing them. More and more, those twinkling lights were starting to flicker into view.

"S'wild, right?"

It couldn't compare to the mountains, but it'd do in a pinch. It'd probably be a few more wall expansions or something like that until they got anything close to mountains, and who knew what kind of critters were living on those.

"It's still kinda weird though, not knowing any of 'em. I keep expecting other things when I look up there." How far away were those old friends now? Or maybe they were all closer than they'd ever been before, and they were just looking at them from a different angle?

"Still real pretty though."

Hm.

There were things that could have been said to that, but Kai opted not to voice them. An agreement on how cities had that kind of flaw didn't need to be said, they both already knew that. He already had a pretty decent idea of reasons why there might have been those kinds of blackouts-- they didn't need to be brought up. Not here, not now. Not when all of this was just... kind of exactly how Kai could have hoped it would be like, if he'd ever been in the position to even daydream about it.

It was good. This was good.

"Ah," he murmured after a little while of comfortable, companionable quiet, "let me know if it gets too chilly." There was this whole other blanket here, after all, just waiting for its moment to shine.

That certainly was another option. The soft touch drew Kai's focus back from the sky to Shinji. More than feeling like a grand gesture, it felt more like he'd been beaten to the punch. This clearly was the logical step by now.

So too was Kai's wordless shift in position. Why settle for just a shoulder lean when it was so easy to curl his arm behind Shinji's back. What a smooth and well practiced move this was by now. Of course that's what came next. That's what you'd been going for, right Shinji?

Good news then, Shinji. Sitting around outside for hours staring at the sky was exactly the kind of thing Kai did when left to his own devices. That's what the meowffins were for. It was just a whole lot more comfortable with the warmth of someone else at his side. How very good that sitting around with Shinji for hours was also pretty high on that list.

They could have stayed just like that easily enough. All that looking up though, that could get rough after a bit. Luckily, this had a simple solution. It also happened to be the true secret to staying out there for hours. "Mm, hang on," Kai murmured in Shinji's ear after they had been cozied up for a while. Slipping out of their wrapped up arms, Kai shimmied over a bit and just.

Flopped right over on his back across the blanket. Sayonara, crick in the neck. Grinning over at Shinji, Kai pat that inviting spot next to him. "It's a good view down here."

There was an appropriate amount of wiggling going on here to make sure they achieved the maximum amount of coze. Very good. Here we go. "Mhm."

The blanket of stars above them was more impressive when it stretched across their whole field of view. Had it not been for that steady warmth at his side, it would have been easy to slip away into the quiet of nothing. He was rooted here though, aware of the world around him. The wide expanse of unfamiliar lights didn't seem as strange and offputting as they sometimes did, almost as if exploring them with good company was a better idea!

It was that thought that eventually broke the companionable silence. "Do you see any shapes up there?"

Kai's gaze trailed across the sky, following the path Shinji left for him to follow. There were definitely probably constellations up there that had already been determined by the people that had lived here for centuries, but Kai hadn't looked them up yet. This spin with a blank canvas had been exactly what he'd meant.

He traced over the same path with his own fingers as he filled it out in his mind. "Ah, yeah," he said, turning his head to-- Oh. Looks like he was boopin' Shinji's face.

"...Ha. S'good one. I see it."

As per the norm, any hazards of this situation slipped right past Kai undetected. They were just bumpin' heads and gazing into each others' eyes from Real Close, what was dangerous about that. Perfectly normal scenarios right here.

So very normal that he hadn't made a move just yet either. "Hmm... nothin' too fun. I keep lookin' for triangles."

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-06-22 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Not to worry. The night sky had your back, Shinji. Be at peace, even as Kai made no real move to change anything about this. It wasn't like this was even the closest they had ever been.

"Hmm... There's some contenders, but it's hard to say if they're consistent."

Now he turned his head, looking back up at the stars to find the paths he'd found before. They didn't jump out yet like they normally would, but after a moment he breathed out a soft 'ah.' It was his turn to touch the sky. Here, here, there.

"I don't think any of 'em are Orihime, but who knows."

Kai watched as Shinji laid them out. Hmm. "Yeah," he murmured with a nod, "that checks out."

He hadn't actually thought of that story in a good long while. He couldn't say he'd ever really been a fan of it either, but there really hadn't been any escaping it. It had always kind of fallen into the category of 'at least someone's having a good day.' Hm.

"Wonder if the magpies will make it this far out."

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-06-23 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, to be blissfully unaware of why discussing this story in particular might have been rough going. The only parts that were really occurring to Kai were that he had supposed they would have found out soon enough. It was really just around the corner, wasn't it? Which meant that it had nearly been a whole year in this strange place.

It was a whole new summer, and Shinji was still there at his side. Absolutely wild.

"Mm, s'true. I haven't seen the milky way up there. Maybe she finally told her dad off and they ran off to a whole new place. Somewhere to start over."

Here was a good place for that.

"Exactly. Now they got a new friend to hang with too, seems like a good deal all around."

No more chaperones for them. Just a nice third figure to balance everything out. Yeah, that seemed good.

[personal profile] whenyouneedme 2020-06-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Hm. Knowing that bunch, they're probably the ones that invited them."

You know. 'Invited.' Not that the two of them probably minded, if it meant finding a bit of peace from the things they left behind. It'd worked for him so far so, hey, good for them.
