(closed) be a being on two feet with a heart trembling
Who: Asahi and Momiji
When: After the event
Where: Vaguely waves hands
What: These two come to a decision after the event.
Warnings: Teenagers on edge? But they're both relatively harmless, so there should be nothing serious.
[ Asahi is so on edge. She was already on edge when people started disappearing. But even now the people have been rescued and those responsible for it all caught, she finds herself not being able to calm down easily. It's still a fact that all of this happened to begin with, after all. It's a fact that all those who she helped rescue looked horrible. Terrible things were done to them. Just because they ended up in this city due to no decision of their own.
The thoughts keep repeating themselves over and over in her head. It feels like she's going crazy, really. The amount of feathers growing in her hair and on her skin is rapidly increasing with the amount of stress she's feeling, and it's like she finds a new one somewhere every ten minutes or so.
She needs something to distract herself. She mentally goes over the list of people she knows, tries to find them in the middle of this chaos to make sure they're alright.
After a while she realises there's someone she hasn't seen yet. Momiji. She tries to think back on whether she saw him during the rescue attempt or not, but it all feels like a blur by now. Is he alright? Did he get caught by those people too? And even if he didn't-- who could be unaffected by all that happened?
With how easily it is for her mind to start fixating itself way too heavily on one thing in this state, she immediately starts running all over looking for the puca. Asahi is probably well out of breath by the time she finally manages to spot the boy, but she still calls out. ]
Momiji..!

Momiji..!
no subject
Oh geez.
Asahi had absolutely no idea. Her jaw drops open just hearing about it - mostly since Momiji has been dealing with all of this crappy situation and someone important to him leaving on top of it? Asahi hasn't had anyone she knows from back home in this place, but she can only imagine how weird and bad it must feel to have someone you know here, only for them to suddenly disappear. ]
Of course..! [ She doesn't even have to think about it. Especially not under the current circumstances. ] I mean-- Even if it's not just for tonight, that's fine too..? If you want to stay while finding someone else to live with, then you can stay for a while, or.. um, if you'd just.. want to stay permanently, that's cool with me too.
[ She blushes a bit. Suggesting that just makes her feel vulnerable in the face of the offer potentially being rejected, but she wants to at least give him the option. ]

[That's a ridiculous thing to be pulled up short by, probably, after they've just agreed to magically share space in each other's head. But he hadn't even thought about asking past the night. He hadn't expected to ask at all, really--]
Um, I could go pack a bag for a few days! If it's okay...
[Part of him just wants to ask when he can move in. Kyo's apartment had already been big enough for an extra person or two; without the Cat there, it was so empty that it had started to feel eerie, just walking between his room and the kitchen at night. (Probably there were other reasons he'd been jumping at shadows, lately, but still.)
Yet, on the other hand...]
I've never had a roommate or anything before, though! I might bug you if I come steal your bed for a long time...
[Not that anyone would ever call him annoying, but. It's possible, between all his fun puca finds and the excitement of living without maids for his first time ever, that his current bedroom is a disaster area. And that's just the first awkward concern that springs to mind. So, what if she doesn't like having him around all the time?
It's an awful lot, awfully fast.]
no subject
[ He's not the only one fussing. Although - ironically enough - Asahi is not worried at all about the potential messes or mischief he may bring to the place. Judging by what she knows about him and how that one time improvised sleepover went, things should probably be.. fine?
No, she's just worried she's massively overstepping her boundaries here. Maybe Momiji is just saying those things because he actually doesn't want to live in the same place as her and is just trying to make polite excuses to let her down gently? That's probably it, isn't it. Oh god.
It's why Asahi looks weirdly nervous and awkward, even as she smiles at him. ]
Anything is fine with me..!
no subject
He can't really miss the strain in Asahi's voice as she reassures him; that doesn't take a Bond to pick up on by now. And--this shouldn't be hard! He doesn't do reticence, and staying over with Asahi the one time was perfectly nice, so...!
Except. What if he bugs her, coming in at weird hours from Particularly Good Finders? Or if he brings home trouble? What if they can't ever agree on what to get for dinner? Or if it turns out he snores, or he wets the bed? What if he just takes up too much space in general? Asahi probably wouldn't kick him out, even if he did all those things. But she might want to.]
Mn, we can try it out! [He blurts, a little too hastily and a little too cheerfully, then. Nope, he's not nervous, this is great!] I'll grab clothes and everything for the week, and then...we can figure everything else out, later!
[That's a good plan, right? It'll have to be easier to think about this, after the Bond or maybe just with a couple days shaved off his sleep deficit. And by then maybe they'll know if his rabbit-stuff is going to get in the way of her bird-stuff!
He nods firmly to himself, committing to this solution, and then leans in for a last, quick hug.]
'Kay?
no subject
[ And while Asahi still sounds nervous (it's not quite the jitters she's been having while looking for Momiji after this whole terrible kidnapping incident to begin with - it's a little more mundane than that, but still present), she doesn't sound like she's lying about being alright with that.
She just hopes this will work out. It should, right? The idea of bonding with him feels so right, then surely it'll all end up okay.
Asahi sucks in a deep breath, trying to get herself back in control once more. Then her wings move to fold back onto her back, no longer sheltering them. ]
Let's go then.
no subject
Brushing himself off, he moves to stand as Asahi's wings unfurl. He gives a small shiver at the winter air breaking through the cozy, little bubble he'd been shrouded in, but it's alright. They're alright, for now, even if--well, everything else still isn't. All things considered, maybe it's good to have something like that to be nervous over, now.
He stations himself at her side, then, offering a hand up.]
It's really close! Just right up this way--
[And, when Asahi's ready to go, he'll lead them off, shooting a small grin back over his shoulder.]
