[voidseeing]

This post can be used to thread with or get in contact with Gai at any point when he doesn't have a post up! Just comment here (please use the format [Action, June 24th], [Voice, March 5th], etc. to make it clear when the thread is taking place and what type of thread it is) for a thread with him; if it's a continuation of another thread or post, please link that so I remember the context of the thread.

[Action, December 1]

[iwannabethegai]

I can't just leave you like that.

It'll get wrinkled and don't make Elizabeth do all your laundry. [It matters to Shu apparently.]

[Action, December 1]

[voidseeing]

I don't make her do any of my laundry. I take care of all of that by myself.

[Shu pls. Pls.]

[Action, December 1]

[iwannabethegai]

Do you separate everything properly? You don't.

You just mix it all in together and call it a day. [He won't stop.]

[Action, December 1]

[voidseeing]

Why do you suddenly care so much about my laundry?

[He's trying to grab his chopsticks so he can start eating before the food goes cold...]

[Action, December 1] 1/4

[iwannabethegai]

[Before Gai can reach for his chopsticks Shu slams on the table and shakes everything on top.]

[iwannabethegai]

[Shu knows how Gai acts in Funeral Parlor. Don't give him that. No Gai, just no.]

[iwannabethegai]

You're one track minded. As soon as you want to do something you forget about everything else.

i lied it'll be longer

[iwannabethegai]

A simple task like laundry should be no trouble for someone like you and yet...

okay im done

[iwannabethegai]

You still need someone to hold your hand around in the kitchen.

Do you even know how to use a stove?

WOW

[voidseeing]

[SHU WHAT EVEN. Gai's outward response is limited to the raise of one eyebrow, however.]

Of course I do. I don't always eat out, especially not when I'm tired. I can cook just fine on my own.

[Sort of. Most of the time.]

i dont even know how that happened

[iwannabethegai]

[Is that a bluff?]

Then cook something. We don't have to eat this.

[Shu's totally provoking Gai.]

[voidseeing]

No.

[Are we back to a staredown? Because Gai can totally do a staredown.]

I came here for okonomiyaki and I'm going to eat it.

[And, in fact, he will demonstrate this by taking a bite.]

[iwannabethegai]

You're saying that because you can't cook.

[Suit yourself but really Gai?

We're having a staredown yep.]

[voidseeing]

[Gai is just going to completely ignore Shu and continue eating. LIKE AN ADULT.]

[iwannabethegai]

[Instead of responding to Gai like a MATURE PERSON..Shu opens up his journal and starts looking for Elizabeth's name.

He has to let her know. Her boyfriend can't cook.]

[voidseeing]

[Gai doesn't even care what Shu is doing. He knows Elizabeth well enough to know that she will just roll her eyes and laugh if Shu tries to tell her... well, ANYTHING.

Shu can go whine to Elizabeth if he wants. Gai is just going to sit here and enjoy his lunch.]

[iwannabethegai]

[WOW GAI WOW!!

It looks like Shu passed Elizabeth's name on the journal list. He just wanted to see some reactions from Gai. Although, it looks like his plan back fired and there really isn't any point in contacting Elizabeth over this.

For now Shu's calmed down. He's upset again because he did understand what Gai meant earlier: that this is like home.

Except, he feels ashamed for noticing it too late so he doesn't say anything. ]

[voidseeing]

[All the while, Gai has kept his eyes trained on Shu, just watching whatever it is he's doing. He's not surprised that Shu didn't go through with it-- he knows the other boy well enough to know that he was trying to provoke a reaction, and when he didn't get it, the interest disappeared.

Score another point for Gai.

He'll just take a few more leisurely bites before he speaks up again.]

Eat.

[iwannabethegai]

[Shu slowly stares up at Gai and recognizes that he's been completely honest so far. Gai's just trying to help out by asking him to eat food. Why did his dreams tell him otherwise?

Shu nods and silently starts eating some food off the table. ]

[voidseeing]

[There. It was a battle, but Gai thinks he's finally starting to get through to Shu. Still, he's not going to push his luck, so the only response Shu will get is a nod before Gai goes back to eating his own meal.]

[iwannabethegai]

[They finish up their food and head back to Gai's apartment!

Eating a lot makes Shu sleepy and he yawns twice before rubbing his eyes.]

[voidseeing]

[That yawn doesn't go unnoticed by Gai; frankly, he's pleased to see it given what he knows about how Shu neglects himself. If he can get Shu a good meal and a good nap, that in itself will be an accomplishment.

One down, one to go.]

You can rest in one of the spare bedrooms if you're tired.

[iwannabethegai]

No! [Shu hates sleeping. He nearly snaps at Gai, but calms down before he does.]

Sorry, I'm not sleeping. It's not worth it. [Even if he tried the most he'd get is a good half an hour of sleep.]

[voidseeing]

I'm not going back to Elizabeth's house for a while, so you don't have to worry about me leaving you here alone.

[While he can understand Shu's sentiments towards sleeping, he also knows that being tired doesn't do you (or anyone else) any favors.]

[iwannabethegai]

Did something happen? Why won't you go back? [This is very odd for Gai and Shu's sure there's a good reason behind that decision.]
