[ ryuu falls for it hook, line, and sinker—but gaku thinks it's going to be worth the trouble of explaining it to tenn later, because this is actually making him even more worried for ryuu. what the heck.
that said. ]
... The last place?
[ it seems like it should be an innocent comment but alarm bells are ringing inside his head. he'll wait for ryuu to open the door before he grills him on this. ]
[ listen he can live on his own just fine. he just prefers company! which is highlighted again when he balances his armful of groceries on his hip like he's carrying a child and gets the door unlocked and opened - it's quite a large space for one person. never call him unprepared.
except when it comes to opening his big mouth and getting himself into trouble. ]
- ah...haha, yeah. Sorry, I brought it up without thinking...
[ flipping the light on, the apartment is obviously still brand new and unlived in. ]
I was hoping we could have a meal and a drink before I tried to explain things to you.
[ the way ryuu reacts makes him even more suspicious. there's something the other man is hiding from him, and he doesn't like where it's going, so forgive him for narrowing his eyes. ]
Maybe a drink because I don't know if I can wait long enough for a cooked meal.
[ he's always been so impatient... but he follows ryuu inside the apartment anyway, setting the bag he's carrying on top of the dining table. ]
[ it's not as though ryuu is trying to draw it out on purpose, but it's difficult to get his brain to wrap around the right words to explain it. he lived that reality for so long and yet... it feels wrong, to have to explain that they were apart. like there's guilt squeezing around his heart. ]
If it's the dry goods, any of the cabinets on the left should be alright. [ he unearths one of the liquor bottles - something as similar to shochu as he could find - and goes about popping the cap. ] While you're there, the cups are up top too.
[ they might as well get this show on the road, right? ]
And before I start... you don't remember me being gone at any time, do you?

Thanks, Gaku! It would be pretty troublesome if this happened for a while every time I had to step out for something, haha...
[ have fun explaining to tenn later. but onward! perusing the doorways that all look pretty much identical to one another, he hums. ]
We'll find it, we'll find it! In fact, I think it's this one...?
[ #1098, seems legit. ]
The last place I stayed definitely wasn't this big. Or busy, actually.
[ sus. ]

Where should I put these away?
