( ✉ → baby ) ah no. everything’s alright on my end. besides me busting my butt trying to change a lightbulb, i couldn’t be better ( ✉ → baby ) i feel quite lucky. the luckiest really, but he is good too! i got him a new squeaky toy and he’s been busying himself hiding it in various spots about the house because it’s shaped like a bone
[ SMS: Atem ]: Do I even want to know how you managed to be defeated by a lightbulb? You know what, don’t tell me. I rather my idea of you not be tainted nor diminished in any way. [ SMS: Atem ]: Is that so? Who would’ve known that the king could easily be bought with a chew toy. [ SMS: Atem ]: At least he’s chewing on something that is actually meant for him to chew on. Well done.
[ SMS: Atem ]: Judging by the fact that all you texted me was hey, whatever is going on isn’t dire. [ SMS: Atem ]: Aren’t we all lucky that I am not busy right now. How are you and how is Louis. @adonaiis
❝ I… yeah it is. You weren’t exactly supposed to hear me musing aloud though. How long have you been standing there?❞
❛ Long enough for you to think you were alone, obviously. If you don’t want people hearing things they shouldn’t hear then either one of two things can happen–1, you keep it all in your head or 2, write it on paper. ❜
He really hoped that he wasn’t being too pushy. But he really could not help himself. With Kai being home again — for however long it might be this time — he wished to take full advantage of showing him off. So many people loved to throw shade, often inquiring when they knew full well he was happily taken. Just because he wasn’t willing to put up with the time apart with others, did not mean the same rules applied with Kai. People would never truly understand how much of a battle it had been in the beginning — at least as it pertained to the two of them opening up. It was Netflix and Chill to start; great sex that led to many more steamy hookups. Somewhere along the road, things changed. Those morning afters turned into several day long sleepovers. He practically lived with Kai and vice versa until they decided enough was enough. They would try this commitment thing, and the rest is history as they say. At any rate, he could not help the bright smile that illuminated his features. Atem was quick to jump Kai, throwing his arms around him.
❝I won’t be long now. And um… how about that Thai place that just opened up? I hear it is really good.❞ He is quick to pull away and after flashing his beloved another smile he hurries up the staircase to dress and grab a change of clothes for their dinner later.
How good was it to know that the weight of your partner was not enough to knock you off your feet? Kai caught the other with very little effort (seriously–Atem couldn’t knock down a middle schooler even if he tried with that lack of body weight) & caught the sight of the smile he managed to put on the other’s face before & after he pulled off. See–that right there. That made it worth it. That made stepping out of the comfort zone he put so much effort into sustaining worth coming out of—like hell if he was going to stay all of this shit aloud. Draw your own conclusion. This was going to be…interesting? Is interesting the best word? No. No it was not but that’s all he was coming up with.
❛ Thai food. Got it. ❜ Kai hated thai food. He found it bland & smothering it in spices didn’t help—but who was he to tell other people how to prepare their food? He can deal.
He rolled his eyes. Well of course he didn’t look like a twelve year old. As far as Atem was concerned he was a grown ass man and yet even grown men needed a bit of fun from time to time. Monotony got old quick and life was entirely too short. Of course, he did not expect Kai or anyone else to be able to relate to his feelings on the matter. How could they when they’ve never actually died a few times? All the same he had to try. It probably wasn’t something Kai would be into playing all the time, but he saw the video and it looked fun; — less painful than paintball shenanigans but competitive enough for adults.
Or he thought so anyway. With how warm it was outside, he figured this would be a good way to kill some time before showering and heading to dinner. Judging by the look on Kai’s face though, it was probably something he should have suggested to Yugi.
Oh, well.
It was too late now so he folded arms across his chest, making a face. ❝I very well realize you are not a child but I THOUGHT you would want to do something OTHER than dinner. A friend sent me a video of a new place that opened up in town that allows you to play a form of archery tag. You play it in the water and it appears to be a lot less painful than paintball guns. My other choice was spending the day at Kaiba Land. I haven’t been there since he opened the park, but you did not strike me as a roller coaster type of guy. Either way, I want to do something other than just dinner with you. Dinner is fine, but it’s still early.❞
He paused. ❝I am not trying to suffocate you or pressure you into going out all the time. That isn’t the case AT ALL. I love you and nothing thrills me more than showing you off in public, but if it is too soon for that type of fun then just tell me. I will settle for us making dinner together and watching a movie later.❞
Hello foot, did you miss mouth? It was almost a though it was a secret talent of his; a super power, if you will. Somehow, some way, no matter what the idea was in any capacity, Kai had the ability to not only shoot it down, but to make the person who BOTHERED to ask him to do anything out of his comfort zone feel as though they committed a heinous crime. Never was he a fan of being taken out of his comfort zone yet it was something he pushed himself to do for his own growth; his own well being. It didn’t take a genius to realize that he wasn’t a fully rounded individual but no one can never say that he didn’t try to remove the stain that everyone managed to see on him.
A childhood was not something he had the rights to. After four years of age, that was stripped. From the abbey to the care of his grandfather, back and forth, Kai had done nothing that would even be remotely considered something a child would do; a childhood he’d wish on no one & if, for whatever the reason, he was to be a father to his own, he will do for them what was not done for him. The line of conditioning & modeling ‘soldiers’ within the family ends with him.
Step out of the comfort zone; grow with every experience that comes the ways down. An approach & (unfortunately) a way of life Kai was slowly (big emphasis on slowly) trying to abide & adhere to. This is just….don’t be dismissive. One finger came up. ❛ 1-fix your face. ❜ & then another. ❛ 2-I said we were going out so I need you to pick a place to go. ❜ & one more. ❛ 3-we’ll play the game but only if you pick a place so I can reserve ahead of time. I’ll give it an hour, deal? ❜
