The Bet

[whybeanstho]

Yo, Yoimiya!

[The booming voice of Arataki Itto resonates throughout the small apartment they share in downtown Inazuma, a loft that came relatively cheap for its location in the city. The buzzing of cars and people passing by the third story window could be heard all throughout the place, walls thin as a sheet of paper. But with it all comes the excitement of the city, and for these two, a plethora of food to gorge themselves on whenever it came time to feed. Inazuma in this day and age has everything to choose from, and food filtered in from all over the world.

It was a perfect set up for them both.

But for now, Itto sits at their small kitchen bar, eating his dino-shaped chicken nuggets that he'd microwaved from out of the freezer. On the plate is some barbeque sauce to dip them in, and he of course is trying to talk to her with his mouth full.]

Ain't it about time we go out and do some grocery shopping? MAN my stomach has been rumbling for the past week or so.

[In goes another dino nuggie, eating them up like they're water.]

If I don't get some food in me soon, I'm gunna shrivel up and wither away! Hey, you think I could talk Shinobu into...I MEAN, ahem, do you think she'd do us a solid and find us a sweet spot to pick up from?

[Miso soup...he'll have to remember that. Snezhnayans have their own home remedies for this, but he definitely wouldn't mind adding an Inazuman one to the list.

He smiles fondly at her as she wraps her arms around him, craning his neck down so she has an easier time planting that nice, sweet kiss to his lips. Ajax's eyes close to savor it, feeling light and happy with how the night went. He'd had such a good time, he also hopes that their schedules will allow them to see each other again soon. Any worry he had that Yoimiya was just humoring him from the night before vanishes- he genuinely felt that tonight had been fun enough that sex wasn't even in the cards.]

I'd love to see you later this week. I'll text you tomorrow, and we can figure things out.

[Ajax leans down to press a kiss to the top of her head, letting his hand come up to brush his thumb against her cheek before he turns to head home himself.]

Goodnight, Yoimiya.

[And off into the night he goes, so he can try to get some rest himself.]

---

[Ajax's dreams that night are wild and full of fantasies he'd never even been able to imagine before. Yoimiya fills his thoughts, showing him vivid scenes of the two of them drowning in every carnal desire they could ever want for, and when he wakes his eyes are blurry and unfocused. Scenes of Yoimiya dance in the glow of the morning sun in front of him, before his mind finally allows him to clear those from his vision. His body pleads with him to follow through with those fantasies, and he groans as he obeys, letting himself finish to thoughts of the golden haired girl who he'd taken out the night before.

Later in the morning, now taken care of and craving something to eat, he retrieves the home remedy for a terrible hangover he made out of the fridge. Downing the pickle brine, he groans as he holds his head. He really did drink way too much sake last night, but it was such a good time, is he really going to complain about it?

Opening his phone, he texts Yoimiya immediately, their little hangover competition being the first thing on his mind.]

hey, how'd you sleep? my hangover was pretty bad this morning just like i was afraid it would be

[niwabi]

[ Oh, boy. It's rare for her to let a hangover get the better of her but this is without a doubt, the worst headache she's had in a long, long time. Even though she doesn't regret a single thing about their outing, she might make a point to hold back on the alcohol just a tad. She doesn't want to deal with another headache like this for another 50 years...

It takes some time but she eventually crawls out of bed to make a quick serving of miso soup. Naturally, she doesn't miss a beat closing the curtains to make sure not a speck of sunlight pokes in her shared apartment. If Itto whines about the darkness, he'll just have to deal with it.

As soon as she sits down to enjoy her soup, she hears her phone vibrating. Yoimiya picks it up at lightning-fast speed, hoping that it's Ajax sending her a message. And sure enough, her day is instantly made when she sees the sender. It's like her prayers have been answered! She wastes no time sending a message right back to him. ]

HEY!!!!!

could have slept better! (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ ) but it wasn't the worst sleep i've gotten.
my head is killing me though!!!! so i'm just chilling a dark room away from sunlight.

if you'd like, i can have someone deliver a warm serving of clam miso soup to you.
that's the inazuman way of tending to hangovers.

[monoceroscaeli]

holing up in a room in the dark? what are you, a vampire? ;)

haha, just kidding

you're too kind, but don't worry. i have my own remedy that's already doing wonders. i think i'd rather try the soup fresh right from the pot though.

[He'd let her cook for him in a heartbeat. He'd love to try her miso soup ;;]

[ Oh, he's cracking a joke...... okay phew. For a second, she really thought she might have ran her mouth a little too much while under the influence. ]

you're a funny guy!

[ NOT SAYING ANY MORE THAN THAT....... ]

Oh, I see.
glad you're feeling better! But if you need a little boost, i'll be happy to make you yoimiya's super special amazing clam miso soup! ( • ̀ω•́ )✧

[monoceroscaeli]

that sounds delectable, i can't wait to try it

maybe sometime later this week we can see each other again? trading off dishes from our homelands honestly sounds like an enjoyable experience

i've got a lot on my plate at the beginning of this week, so i hope that thursday or friday could work for you

[niwabi]

oooh look at you! mr. tall, handsome, and busy. sounds like you're working your butt off. at this rate, snezhnaya's relations with inazuma will be tightly knit with you at the helm. (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

thursday or friday works for me! i've been dying to try more snezhnayan food. if i can make one request, i want to try your favorite dish!

just don't forget to take breaks and rest, okay?
