[ Don't be so angry. The door is being opened ad Toudou is in his casual laying around clothes. It was shorts and a loose undershirt. Arakita wasn't anyone special, so he wasn't worried about putting on much more yet. ]
[He's not really angry per say, but that Toudou made a joke of it when Arakita is left wondering if he has done that sort of thing before, he just can't quite bring himself to ask what he meant again. With the door opening, Arakita takes some steps to pass Toudou, already following his nose with a hum of approval to the scent.
Smells even better than it looked.] Thanks for the meal.
[ The door closed and Toudou was going behind him back to the dining room. He could tell that Arakita wanted to ask. He walked on a little further, bringing his hands up to his waist as he turned to walk into the dining room proper. ]
I know what you're thinking about. "Do I really do things like that?".
You're the type of person someone would expect it from, but no, I don't think you've ever done it without loudly exclaiming you're leaving.
[Scowling, having been trying to blow the whole thing off in favor of good food, Arakita ended up pausing at the doorway of the dining room to look back - he's not mad about the answer, but the way Toudou goes about his know-it-all business is something that has always irritated him.]
Then don't fuckin joke about it like I do, god damn. Also, leftovers are good either way. Is that all you've been doin though, hiding inside and cooking? You're losin your tan. [Actually, as soon as the words are out of his mouth, Arakita knows damn well why Toudou is hiding inside. The tower is about as safe as a place gets in this city, what with the food typically being spiked with something to get people riled up.
It's still concerning, in a way though. Toudou likes to be around people, this must be killing him with boredom, to keep refusing to fall into step and get touchy feely with strangers.]
I'm not hiding, but I have thought abought things.
[ Arakita being upset was expected. It made things feel normal to the point Toudou turned his head and laughed out loud at Arakita's anger. No matter how badly he'd end up acting, this guy was one of his best and most trusted friends. This was just the way things were.]
This apartment makes it so you barely have to leave, but it's boring! I'm going insane in here.
[ Toudou was a people person. He wasn't happy if he wasn't talking or being admired. It was just the way things worked. This tan was definitely dying, but that wasn't so much of a bad thing, he thought. ]
As long as I don't eat things I haven't requested to be clean, I'll be fine out there. If my 'partner' understands that I'm not only beautiful but in charge, then even that will be completely fine, wahahahaha!
Maybe pick up an indoor hobby. Kinjou's got sewing and knitting shit all around his place, it might be something to look into since it's busywork.
[Still, Toudou essentially has himself holed up in here that he'd be a hermit if he were the type to grow out a beard - honestly he has enough of a baby face that Toudou with facial hair is a foreign concept. It wouldn't suit him, it would look damn weird, and Arakita is sure he's never seen even a stray hair come up on his friends chin in the first place.
Moving to have a seat at the table and take another breath in through his nose, damn that smelled way too good to give up on, so Arakita gives a brief itadakimasu before he'll start - he is giving thought to what Toudou said though.]
What, so as long as you get to do whatever you want and they listen to whatever you say, goes? Fat chance you'll find someone who will give that much control for almost no reward - and getting to look at you at all isn't the only reward.
How much do you go over and see Hebi-- Are you sleeping with him?!
[ That derailed him. He knew he was texting Maki at the same time, but then Maki paused, and he hasn't looked back at is palm reader again since Arakita came in. This isn't what was important anymore.
Arakita's been hoping captains and that was what Toudou zoned in on. These are the reasons he was starting to think that people getting feelings are dumb, and these are it. He stares at him, not judging, but inspecting. He was judging the situation. Sitting in his chair back in front of his food, he situates himself again and picks up his spoon. ]
[He had a mouthful of food when Toudou asked that, eyes shooting up and almost spitting - it's so hard to keep his mouth shut, to finish chewing instead of swallowing and choking, and he just stares at Toudou incredulously. There's no way Toudou legitimately asked him that, there's no way Arakita can actually answer it either - he has, but he'd argue that he's getting feelings for him. If anything, he's in the middle of ignoring the way he's suspecting he's grown feelings for Sugawara instead. Kinjou isn't even on his radar of realizing anything.
Still, even with his mouth full and the time to think of an answer, Arakita's face started heating up red all the way to his ears. Fuck. He can feel himself getting hot.]
[ He knew he's already told Arakita. Arakita was the only person there was to tell! When Fuku wasn't around, this dog acted like he could do anything with no consequence. Toudou's so sorry their assist is such a traitor, Fuku. You don't deserve this flimsy loyalty, he thinks to himself.
He's just going to eat! They were here to eat, so that's what he was going to do. Look at that spoon he's placing on his mouth in a manner that only looked like a desperate attempt to distract yourself but it's not working. Another spoonful followed by another happened, and he let the warm heartiness of the curry calm him. ]
[There's just this mild noise as if it's to signify the internal screaming he's doing as Toudou just scolds him further and tries to look away. Swallowing his bite finally, coughing to get a breath, Arakita almost drops his spoon with his face bright red.]
What the fuck, Toudou?! What do you mean by that, so what if we've been doing shit, it's just been shit! It doesn't have anything behind it than hormones!!
Just eat. You're turning red. If you keep getting upset you won't be able to eat.
[ If Toudou stopped talking about upsetting things, he wouldn't be getting upset, but those were details. He was also going to keep eating and try to enjoy his own cooking. He wasn't a restaurant level chef, but this was good.
It only added to his natural beauty and charm. Who doesn't want a man that can cook?]
Y'should have thought of that before you fuckin asked that!!
[He wants to eat, he's hungry as hell, but now he really can't. He tries to put another spoonful in his mouth, but his hand is so hesitant about stuffing his face full of food in perfect timing to Toudou asking him bullshit again.]
I brought it up because I offhand saw it, and he made me a fuckin beanie.
[Squinting heavily at Toudou a little longer, Arakita leaned a bit over his plate to cram another forkful in. He is getting tired of being fucked with while eating, god damn.]
[ Look at that. He's keeping his word and eating instead of talking about Kinjou or anything else that's going to make Arakita get more upset. It kills him to not say anything, truly and deeply, but he's a man of is word. ]
[Arakita eats hesitantly for only a little longer before he wolfs it down. It is good, Toudou could always start a second career of being a chef and live well. Suggesting that seems like a pain in the ass that would just inflate his ego, but Arakita has the absent thought that he could eat this kind of cooking the rest of his life. The thought comes and goes with a mild wait what, but it's gone and he's squinting Toudou down again in the next minute because he's just waiting for him to go further.
Go on. Insult him some more. Be a pain in the ass like you know how to be.]
[ It doesn't come. He's not greeted with the insults or even the whispers of anything. He ate his food quietly, checking things on his palm reader to keep him busy from wanting to say anything and end up killing Arakita or something. He didn't realize there were eyes on him from across the table. ]
[Arakita keeps up the suspicious staring for only a few moments longer, mostly because Toudou looks sufficiently distracted. Good?? Eventually, he grunts and clears his throat. He is done, ask your nosy questions.]
..... No. Other than the beanie was a birthday gift. It's got a wolf on it.
[Grumbling it out, moving to clean up his dishes and pick them up, Arakita stands to take his empty plate to the kitchen - and maybe start up a little dish water if some isn't already made. It's a reluctant habit out of every other meal being at home now that someone is cooking.]
It was kind'a weird, but I figured you were why I got birthday wishes from other people. It looks good, you'll have to see it next time you come up.
[Setting his dishes aside, reaching to take Toudou's from him when he follows, Arakita just starts up the water to partially fill the sink. There's not a lot really to clean up, at least.]
Don't know why he thought he had to make me somethin when he doesn't know me but it was kind of alright. Gettin somethin like that.
[His ears still redden even if he tries not to react so much this time. They don't screw around that often, they really don't, he hasn't said it like that ever that he can remember..]
Don't know what the hell you're meaning. We only did shit a few times, it's just booty call when we're drugged. There's nothin there other than he's an alright guy and I don't hate his guts.
[Turning the water off and pushing the faucet out of his way, Arakita reaches for the dish soap now to pour a little in and swish his hand into the water, bubbling it up enough - next in are the plates, letting them soak for a little first.]
Yes, I know. You said that before. Isn't that deserving of gifts of recognition. You've done it more than once and keep going back to each other. It's a thing enough to warrant a birthday gift.
[ If Toudou ever had sex with someone more than once, he'd expect them to give him gifts and birthday recognition on his day. Toudou was going to take Makishima's birthday seriously despite only touching him once. Makishima was special, though. That was his rival. ]
