Sure. It'll make you happy.

[that's what it's all about]

Besides, it might take them a while to get used to the place. Familiarity in their surroundings will help them at first.

You're the most familiar, so you'll have to be let on the bed, too.

Dibs on the right side.

You can't call dibs without touching it. Everyone knows that.

It'll be a race, then.

Don't sound so disappointed!

[everyone knows Matsuoka Rin loves a race, after all]

If I don't get the right side before you, I'll have to sleep on you. Fair warning.

Not if I use the cats as a shield.

[a contented sigh... and makoto's moving around. he's definitely setting up his vidya]

That's got to be one of my favourite things. You and the cats.

[the shufflings on Rin's end are distinctly bed-noises. even if he was just trying to escape a mortifying conversation, it really is past his bedtime. somehow, it's hard to hang up on Makoto tonight, though]

Haah? That's two things, isn't it...

[a cheek rubbed against a pillow, a huff]

You with the cats is one. --are you sleepy?

[and the thing is, makoto knows.]

No, I just should sleep soon, f'my jog tomorrow. Eh, and we've got a big day after that.

[wait]

What's so special about me with the cats...?

You should probably consider hanging up, then. I'll let you know what's so special some other time, okay?

[a grumbly sound]

I don't want to hang up.

[pfft]

Tomorrow, when we move in together, you won't have to hang up at all. You can talk to me as much as you want. Imagine that.

[have a dumb, embarrassed snort, shading into a giggle. tru luv is disgusting]

I've been imagining for a while. It's definitely gonna be even better, in real life.

[a jaw-cracking yawn might not seem like it denotes his excitement, but then, tomorrow will only come faster if he sleeps]

So, see? You should definitely go to sleep now, so it's even more exciting tomorrow night.

[he knows rin is seconds from falling asleep]

Hnhnh, shut up, it's not like it's Christmas morning or anything...

[except he's totally talking like it is. extremely embarrassing]

Nope, it isn't. It'll be the day we move in together, and with Gou, too. [family, he means, momo included]

Yeah. [and maybe it's the tiredness, or maybe they've really just grown close enough that Rin's second-thoughts are coming less and less frequently. either way, it comes out quite easily]

I don't know if I said, thanks, yet. -- For Gou, and Momo, and... me, too.

[Makoto doesn't need to build them all a house; he's proven his worth thousands of times already, to Rin. he couldn't be more grateful, more happy]

You treat us all like family.

[and for two siblings missing their father, and a brother missing his role model, it means a terrible lot]

Edited 2015-11-28 08:29 (UTC)

[in makoto's case, he's missing his parents and younger siblings. not only is this in the benefit of the other three, but of his own, too. it makes makoto really happy, however, to hear these words; his chest feels warm. they are family, aren't they? it's been over a year, feeling this.]

You guys are my family, though.

[he really, really feels this.]

[a shuffle, a kind of inhale that wasn't meant to be audible; over a year, feeling like this, and it never stops overpowering him]

[how did he get so lucky...? to go from a broken and struggling family, to having such a large support group? to having Makoto?]

I'm hanging up, you -- s-sap. [nice stutter] Love you. [maybe it should be embarrassing to say again, but for once, it doesn't sound like Rin is waiting nervously for a reply -- it sounds like he's affirming what Makoto's said, first]

[there's so much embarrassment rin can take, and makoto doesn't have the heart to continue making his struggle immense.]

I know. Sleep well, Rin! I'll see you tomorrow.
