[The first time Ryuu visited, he remembers scurrying around and trying to be the picture perfect host. But being able to breathe and take in this relaxed atmosphere is far more pleasant, so he doesn't jump in to try and help with such simple tasks.]
There's no need to rush, after all. It'll be nice to catch up.
[Said like they haven't spoken in ages, but they still don't get to meet in person as often as he'd like. They have the whole night (and perhaps some of the morning) to themselves, so it's only right to make the most of it.
And, well... "Just one drink" may be Sougo's downfall, but a simple glass of wine is nothing to hold back over, especially when it's paired with such a warm smile. So upon taking the glass carefully in his hands with a quick "thank you," he leads them over to take a seat on the couch.]
[ following along, ryuu eases himself down into a comfortable seat besides sougo, cushions giving slightly beneath his weight. raising his glass with an equally stainless smile flashed over the rim, he likewise offers sougo a toast that rings pleasantly against the otherwise quiet backdrop. the clink lingers for just a moment, glasses reverberating. ]
Yeah, cheers.
[ down a handsome sip goes, just like that. not near enough to do anything but warm his throat, but the sensation is nice all the same.
already being a little warm also helps. smiling to himself, ryuu relaxes in his seat, arms lowering to rest atop his legs, glass thoughtfully in his lap. it feels as casual as it looks, which is why ryuu also just decides to speak what's on his mind. ]
If we're catching up, I should probably ask you what you've been up to, huh... but truthfully, an invite like this really surprised me at first, so it's been on my mind.
[Oh, how he's missed this. Seeing each other recently can't replace the comfort of settling in for a quiet night with just the two of them, all thoughts of work and stress pushed aside in place of relaxation.
Or, well... Sougo's trying to relax, but when Ryuu meets his eyes and smiles so fondly, there's no helping the way his heart flutters hopelessly in his chest. Taking a sip of his own wine is enough to make him feel a little calmer, the richness pleasant and welcoming, and he sets his own glass in his lap before turning in so he's facing Ryuu properly.]
To be honest, I even surprised myself. I was talking to someone else when I remembered what you'd said about being more selfish, so I sent you a message before I could change my mind... I hope it didn't come across too shameless.
