No, my nose is kind of always sensitive to strong scents. I mean, I got used to it working the perfume aisle all the time at Junes but...
[ He followed her into the main room with a shrug and rubbed the back of his head. ]
No, it stayed the same and I only smelled it when you walked into my room. You're not gonna get my horny or whatever if that's what you're worried about it.
[ Just saying that made him blush a little, but it was true. He had no urge to actually do anything to her or anything. Except hug her and he stopped himself by going to the bags of food she brought. ]
[ It's a small relief, but it's just that. Small. The ears, the tail were two -- one? They seem to have a mind of their own -- horrible thing. Those teeny, tiny fangs just barely peeking over her bottom lip are another. The pheromones? That's another level of frank fuckery that she's not sure how not navigate and it's messing with her mood. Is there a trigger? An off button? Yosuke's aren't hands she would break, at least, but that statement hits her stomach and makes it twist. ]
I don't trust the moons and you shouldn't either. Gods are fickle.
[ He’s changed moons twice now. The last thing he’s gonna do is trust the moons and the gods. Especially after Izanami.
He goes for the rice first, pulling out a pair of chopsticks and leaning against the counter as he digs into the sticky white rice. ]
But I’ve been Cordis enough times to realize there’s at least a certain pattern for me. The pheromones don’t do more than make me say stupid shit sometimes, otherwise I just wanna hug or something. So if you ever need a break, coming to my place is fine. I have a guest room too if you wanna be extra cautious.
[ Good, that's her first thought with his first utterance. She doesn't say it, fingertips resting against the door frame. She's settled in front of it, her back turned to the apartment proper. Her sense has her feeling, reading the signatures in the rooms around them, the hall, tracking their positions, movement. She should go, but that sees her pause. ]
The door isn’t that lovely a conversationalist, Sestu-nee.
[ He understood why she was doing that, but he was pretty sure he could keep his hands to himself and if she’s asking that then that means his pheromones were hardly registering with her. ]
Yeah, but it’s light. No one’s really commented much on it or did anything weird.
[ But she does turn. Leans her back against the door, folding her arms under her -- well, her chest is probably somewhere beneath that monstrous hoodie. It's not exactly small, but she isn't thinking about that or trying to draw attention to that fact. No, she's thinking about Cordis and its traits and all of this mess. It's always messy, messy gods. ]
I don't know how you stand it. Is there an off switch or something? If I tug my left ear twice, can I decrease the strength of it?
[ Yosuke only makes a "har-har-har" look on his face, eyes rolling lightly as he eats more of the rice. ]
If I'm not working, I'm at home. McDenny's is popular with Cordis so it can be tough but distracting myself with serving and all that helps, I guess? It's not foolproof but [ Shrug. ] Not much you can do.
It's not even that I can stand it, I just... I dunno, just try to make do and deal if I have to. I don't wanna lock myself up, though. It gets lonely.
[ That's all she has to say about that last bit because she's isolating herself for the moment, confining herself to the apartment and the complex, particularly the roof if she gets particularly restless, and she will. The ears and the tail, they were one thing. Those teeny, tiny fangs, another. Pheromones on top of that? She's got choice words for Cordis. She's not really sure how to navigate this for herself or her household and the effect the pheromones have had thus far on top of certain other factors and considerations... she waves a hand. ]
I like the sound of the ear thing. The gods here need a proper box for their complaints.
Their people celebrate and exalt them. If it's always been that way, what reason would they have to think we would think any differently about them and their 'blessings'? [ Unless they're told in no uncertain terms, and directly. ] And that's assuming they have the sense to pause, that they know what compassion is, that they'd feel it toward mortals or people from other worlds.
[ She speaks like someone who's thought too much on the topic, with so much experience with gods and beings distinctly 'other' than human. Like someone who's holding back a wealth of thoughts about it, really, and she is. She's paused. Lifts a hand smoothly, waves it almost dismissively. Turns the subject. ]
That’s something to take up with them, I dunno what they’re thinking really. Can’t even really tell if we’re just being played too.
[ He did question how they had customs for moonlacing when they couldn’t do it themselves, after all. Jury is still out on that one too. ]
Duh, like I’d be dumb enough to keep your stuff, Setsu-nee. I’ll do the dishes tonight and try to get them back to you tomorrow. Or after Cordis, whichever you want.
I don't mind if you come up, but if you do, text me first. Kureno-chan'll be out while this is going on, but Lightning-kun's around. You might not want to come inside, though.
[ The scent's a bit heavy inside the apartment or... is she imagining that? Hm. ]
@perfectcopy ; text ; day or two after triple moon
[There's no further elaboration to this and Kise won't respond for ten minutes after this text. Still, don't panic Yosuke, he's just being his usual drama queen.]
dunno how or why or when or WHY I feel like I signed a death contract tho ik it's not a death contract it's just midorima being midorima but like u know when u do something and u feel ur life got shorter for a few years
Okay okay I'm breathing still somehow idk how I should be dead I will be dead, someone will hunt me down Midorima's luck is crazy like that
...things. happened. like THINGS happened unpredictable, but also preventable things and I'm an idiot I know that I should've known better and just went back home just LEFT
It has something to do with horoscope and lucky items
[There's a pause when he remembers certain lucky item that was involved that day... He shakes his head to get rid of the blush]
Because it was triple moon? And he's cordis? And there was this crazy tension between us for weeks? tho Midorimacchi isn't rly type of person to just do it randomly now that I think about it...
so there’s be actual sexual tension between you 2 and he’s not one night stand type of dude and you aren’t either by the sounds of it
only this time u 2 acted on desires because of cordis moon stuff...
idk man sounds like u guys were already crushin or attracted or whatever on each other and it just sorta hit a peak or however that saying goes, you know?
