[ 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. ]
[Scowling and grabbing a dish rag, Arakita starts out with the silverware first; there's not much, just cleaning up these and the few already rinsed pans from actually cooking, Arakita just scrubs the last of the mess out before he rinses those items again and sets them aside until he's done for drying.]
Because you're intent on ignoring that it's there.
[ Because that was how Arakita was. He was emotional and attached, but hated admitting it and letting things be exactly what it was. He always had some retort or criticism for anything positive like that. ]

Since Arakita was moving, Toudou was bringing his plate and following after him. If he was washing, he can do everything. ]

I clearly brought up a point and your ignoring it as if that's going to make it go away.
