candy crush, where are you?

i have a present for you.

[ and no it isn't him wearing clothes for once, sorry. ]

[hoodwinker]

[dear god, it's this one. the one he tries not to think about, with his sudden appearance and his ridiculous nicknames and looking like a love slave from ancient babylon.]

what are you wearing right now?

[it sounds sexy, but he's tired, it's been a long night, and he's not sure he can handle so much right now.]

[nunchii]

that sounds like sexting and believe it or not, that wasn't your present. won't say no though ;)

[ look here you, ancient babylon knew style and comfort okay.]

the usual minus a few chains. is that gonna be a distraction?

[hoodwinker]

i've never sexted in my entire life. i'm not starting with you.

[jiho prefers action over words.]

what's the gift?

text;

[nunchii]

honestly, neither have i. not my style.

[ he also prefers action over words, but then again it is where his power lies.]

so you don't want it to be a surprise, okay then. i swear it isn't me in just a thin sheet. that good enough?

[he doesn't like surprises. but he gets the feeling that rook will just continuing naming the things that it isn't until he gives in anyway.]

kitchen.

[where he's making tea instead of coffee, adding little packets of red ginseng to it.]

action;

[nunchii]

[ there is no response to that, just the smell of ash before Rook is there, probably far too close for comfort but old habits die hard or something like that.

he is minus a few chains compared to normal, and has something that almost looks like a small blanket or a scarf wrapped around his shoulders but-- aside from that still probably wearing fewer clothes than you would like him to be. sorry jiho.
]

What are you-- ooh, is that tea? Finally, someone with fucking taste in this house I swear, it is horrifying how many people here drink coffee. Ugh.

[hoodwinker]

It's all about what gets you through the day.

[or night, or whatever. jiho takes a sip before turning around. he leans ack against the counter, one arm across his middle as he looks at the demon. his eyes stop when he reaches the scarf, eyebrow arching.]

Are you a superhero today?

just saying but this gif is rude????

[gunflowers]

i need to speak to you

in person, if possible, but idk if you're in the house

it's... important.

BRING BACK THE UNDERCUT

[hoodwinker]

i can come back

what's wrong?

[gunflowers]

nothing's wrong

i had an.. epiphany. i have something to say to you, that's all. it's important, but it can wait until you're back.

[nunchii]

I suppose but like... you can still have some sense of taste right?

[ just getting through life is hard enough most of the time, Rook knows this but- still.

there is a bright smile at the superhero comment though, the demon looking to the blanket scarf wrapped around him.]

Thought you would appreciate me in more clothing while I brought you gifts. But sure, superhero, I'll take it. Not sure my ability to seduce people would count as a good power but, okay.

[hoodwinker]

[well, at least they agree on something. next time he might even make enough for two. jiho lifts the cup to his lips, but can't help sputtering a little at the demon's comment.]

This...is what you call more clothing...

[YOU'RE STILL SCANDALOUS FROM THE WAIST DOWN, YOU KNOW.]

[nunchii]

[ it is clearly the start of a beautiful friendship!

Rook looks down then back up to Jiho, eyebrow raised.]

I mean I can take the pants off and make the blanket a toga if you really want but-- I mean more skin is covered than usual.

[ is he smirking? he's totally smirking. ]

[hoodwinker]

[why does this even bother him. why does rook alone seem to have the ability to get under jiho's skin. he doesn't know, it must have something to do with how they started off on the very wrong foot.]

Didn't you have something you wanted to give me?

[nunchii]

[ Rook has no idea why he bothers you so much but he also isn't about to let such opportunities pass. he doesn't get much in the way of entertaining conversation and banter and this-- this is actually kind nice.

in a way.]

Mm I do![ he lights up at that, reaching into the folds of the blanket scarf to pull out-- what appears to be a bronze dagger with gemstones in it and something in an ancient language pressed into the blade.]

Here, found this and it made me think of you, it's bespelled to never miss if you throw it. And a few other things but I'm shit at untangling those kinda things so...

[ he shrugs like 'eh', figuring Jiho can find out the fun way what else it does.]

[hoodwinker]

[rook.

rook, honey.

what are you thinking offering jiho a dagger that never misses. while standing right in front of him.

jiho just stares at him for a moment before slowly putting his cup of tea down.]

Where did you get this?

[it looks ancient, and expensive. jiho runs his fingers over the gemstones. the longer he looks at it, the more...something he is. he doesn't even want to stab rook with it to test out his claim.]

[nunchii]

[ proving a point? taunting fate? he doesn't know.

when he doesn't take the blade right away, Rook starts to fidget a but but before he can start babbling about hell only knows what, Jiho is taking the weapon and looking at it in a way that the demon can only think of as fond.

good choice then.]

Ahh, honestly? Probably picked it up when someone tried to stab me with it in Persia but-- [ he shrugs, small amused smile on his lips as he toys with the scarf.] I have been collecting weird shit for... a really long time and this-- Dunno, thought you could use it. Pretty sure it never gets dull either...

[hoodwinker]

Well then it missed its mark once.

[dry. but strangely enough jiho can imagine rook being more than a match for even a magical blade. he's slippery that way. maybe he oils up his body along with all that damn gold.

jiho actually snorts at that thought, and covers up his smile with a hand. he doesn't want the demon to get the wrong idea...or even worse, get the right one.]

Do you like honey in your tea or not?

[jiho turns away to get another cup, still clutching the dagger so tightly that his knuckles turn white.]

[nunchii]

[ Rook laughs at that though, something low and amused because, well, it didn't miss it's mark. he is pretty sure he pulled it out from between his ribs where his heart is. so--

and while he won't make a comment about the laughter, he does note it. huh, Candy Crush does have emotions.]

Nah, it hit its mark. I'm just annoyingly difficult to kill like that.

[ be proud, he doesn't wink at you for that. he does , however, look a little startled at the offer for tea. ]

Uh... depends on the tea actually.

[ a beat while he watches, quiet.]

What's your favourite tea?

[hoodwinker]

Black.

[of course it would be. to be a magical ninja, jiho is predictable.

he likes it that way. if people know what to expect of him, maybe they won't expect more. but there's something slow in his movements as he prepares a second cup, like he's more focused on his thoughts than his actions for a change.]

I like cardamon and cinnamon too.

[surprisingly sweet choices, keep that to your fucking self.]

[gunflowers]

hey

i love you

[hoodwinker]

you're late, you were fifteen minutes earlier last time.

[THIS ASSHOLE.]

i love you too. need me to come home?

[gunflowers]

thought i forgot about you? tomorrow i'll be even later if you keep on mouthing off

i always *want* you to come home, but if you're busy, it's fine
i've been trying to work anyway, you'd only distract me

[hoodwinker]

won't that be a little past your bedtime?

it won't be long.

[he's already fallen in step behind the guy, the one who was drunk and probably bullshitting, but he definitely caught the word "hellhound".

it's enough.]

if our pet pussy doesn't distract you, i doubt i would.

i want to hear it.
