The Bet
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?

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.
no subject
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 ;;]
1/2
HOW DID HE KNOW????????????? ]
2/2
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•́ )✧

no subject

no subject

i'll see you then, at my place?
no subject

[ The day of their second date arrives, and Yoimiya isn't hiding her excitement as she hums while feeding Hanabi her favorite fish flakes. Their first date went so well, with Ajax proving himself to be not only good-looking but also an absolute riot to be around. There's no doubt in her mind this day will be full of joy and laughter with Ajax at the helm. She made sure to throw on an outfit that will hopefully get his eyes to pop out of his sockets just a bit. Along with her cute self, she's got ingredients for various Inazuman dishes, and a box of a rather peculiar sake that she's excited to show him. With everything set, she's more than ready to bust out the door the moment she hears a knock. ]
Alright, Hanabi! I'm gonna be heading out for a little while. Make sure Itto doesn't get into trouble while I'm away, okay?
[ It might be hard to tell because y'know, Hanabi is a fish but even this small goldfish can't hide the fact she's unimpressed at the idea of being stuck in the house with that loud, obnoxious guy. She'd rather be left alone than deal with that walking nuisance.
"Why can't he fuck off elsewhere?"
But alas, life is hard when you're Hanabi, especially when your servant is unable to hear your complaints. ]

[What Ajax didn't expect was those dreams would continue. Every night, for an entire week, he has explicit dreams of himself and Yoimiya fulfilling every fantasy he ever could of thought of. His sleep is deep and arousing to the point that every morning when he wakes, feelings of lust burn through his system in a way he can't describe. After the first few nights, he finally had to admit to himself that he must be terribly attracted to her to be dreaming about her like this.
Not good, in his opinion. Keeping his vow to himself was going to be hard, no pun intended.
So to say he's a little nervous when he arrives at her doorstep to pick her up would be accurate. It'll be his first time seeing her since the dreams started, and he can already feel his throat go dry as he knocks on her door. When she answers, his face brightens immediately upon seeing her, and his eyes dilate to take her all in.
Her outfit is so cute, and she looks like a snacc in it. It's still modest enough, but those legs don't lie- and after a week of craving her, he can feel something rustle just slightly in his pants.]
Hey, [he says, offering a genuine, warm smile. He's very happy to see her...]
Ready to go? I've been at it all day in the kitchen, and I can't wait to get you back to try some of the food I've prepared.
no subject
So instead, she throws her arms around him, pulling him into a tight, warm embrace, conveying how much she's missed him over the course of the week, all the while unaware of the stirrings of something hard growing beneath his pants. ]
Hey, Ajax! I'm so happy to see you, it felt like the longest week of my life.
[ The wait between Sunday and Friday was dreadfully long. Every day, she kept marking off her calendar in anticipation for their next date. ]
Yeah, I'm more than ready. I probably went a little overboard with some of the food on my end but I've been so excited to show you Naganohara Yoimiya's famous miso soup and dango.
no subject
Letting her go, he quickly turns to offer a hand to her so she can take it as they walk together. This also places his crotch at an angle where it's unviewable unless she makes a deliberate effort to look down at it.]
I've been dreaming about it all week, [he says, though doesn't offer more than that. He sure has been dreaming...about her.]
I too, have prepared some of my favorite dishes from my homeland. I made a little more than I can handle by myself...so I guess we're just going to have some leftovers, is all. I definitely won't mind that.

[Ajax's place isn't too far, the two of them passing familiar shops until they arrive in front of a rather large building. It's the kind of building that looks expensive right from the front, and he gently tugs on her hand.]
C'mon. I'm at the top.
[The doorman opens the door for the two of them, and Ajax leads her inside to the lobby. The concierge doesn't bother to stop either of them, upon seeing Ajax, giving him a small nod instead and allowing him to lead Yoimiya to the elevator. There seems to be other security in the lobby as well- but they don't pay the two of them any mind.]
Sorry about all the security. This place is really careful about who they let in, and rightfully so.
no subject
Immediately upon approaching the building, Yoimiya is taken aback by the sheer size of his complex. She’s passed by this place a few times, only knowing it as the place where rich people live. Given his job, it doesn’t surprise her that he’s loaded but seeing it in person sure is something else. Yoimiya lets out an impressive whistle as they enter, her eyes dart all across the lobby, marveling at how expansive it is. Naturally, she greets the doorman and security with a bright, polite smile, giving them a nod of acknowledgement before following Ajax into the elevator. ]
Oh, no! Don't be sorry. I get that they're just looking out for their residents.
[ And with how important his job is, she can imagine security really wants to ensure his safety. Not that he can't handle himself; this is the guy who fought a shark with his bare hands. If anything, potential robbers would be signing a death warrant should they break into his place. But she’ll refrain from making a joke in front of the security, last thing she wants is to get kicked out in front of her date for saying something stupid. ]
Goodness, just the lobby is incredible! I never thought I’d be allowed to enter this building in a million years.
[ Or however long her lifespan is. ]
I had a feeling you were well off but I didn’t expect you to live here. All I know about this place is that this is where the rich, fancy folks like to go.
