Needs a Favor

[colony_brat]

[Filtered from Hijiri and Written for Once]

Alright, I need someone who knows 'bout magic and stuff. I wanna put a spell into a piece of jewelery and I don't know how. Need someone ta help me or put the spell in it. Actually, I need ta do it twice.

Apparently I need someone who's skilled with enchantments. The long-term, doesn't wear off kinda thing.

[Action]

[Duo's stolen the necklace he gave to Hijiri for Valentine's Day. Hopefully the musician doesn't notice that it's been replaced by a duplicate. Then again, Duo's acting suspicious, sticking close to Hijiri's side since he doesn't have the protection of the necklace and he's hiding his journal.]

(ooc: Also, Nami, is it alright to say that Duo already stole it? I know we were going to do something with that, but Duo needs it for plot. We can say he stole it in the shower while the soap and Duo's hair was distracting?)

Comments

[colony_brat]

[Duo leans over to lick some crumbs, possibly imaginary, from the corner of Hijiri's lips.] Must be losin' my touch if I don't notice I'm crowdin' you.

[akumanotrill]

[blinks a bit then his cheek turn a light pink, not having expected that] Duo... what are you doing?

[colony_brat]

Keepin' my devil clean~ [He grins before going back to his work in the journal. A careful placement of his own body hides most of the journal and the words from Hijiri.]

[akumanotrill]

.. but... I wasn't even dirty... [pouts a bit with a light blush as he finishes his bread]

[then he looks over, curious] What are you doing?

[colony_brat]

You could have had crumbs on your face. Ya wouldn't notice that~

[Duo shrugs.] Readin' up on what's goin' on, checkin' for orders, usual stuff.

[akumanotrill]

But there weren't...

[tries to peer over his shoulder] Still, you seem to be acting just a little more suspiciously than usual somehow...

[colony_brat]

Are you sure~?

[Duo casually flips a few pages before appearing to hack into something.] I am? How suspicious do I usually act?

[akumanotrill]

[pouts] I'm very sure. Anyway, you could have used a tissue...

That would take all day to explain~ ... you normally wouldn't try to hide your journal from me like that though... [rests his head on Duo's shoulder] Just what are you up to?

[colony_brat]

But that woulda wasted food and that's against the rules~

[Duo chuckles and holds up the page he's hacking.] Well, I am a terrorist. We should be up ta all kinds of suspicious things. Did you wanna practice your hackin' skills?

[akumanotrill]

You could just have pointed it out and I could have licked it up myself...

Still... something seems a little off about you somehow. And people do want to keep things private for a reason, you know.

[colony_brat]

But that wouldn't have been nearly as much fun~

Yeah? So? 's not like I'm gunna go tell people 'bout this stuff. Hell, they don't even know I was there. I just glance through ta make sure people aren't up ta somethin'.

[akumanotrill]

It would be much more hygienic though.

Still... but I guess it's right to be on top of things here. So is there anything interesting?

[colony_brat]

Don't tell me ya think I have cooties or somethin.

Ummmmm... [Duo flips through a couple entries and reads out bits of the written or plays parts of the voice. He hack a few things and reads out part of those. Really pretty standard stuff as Duo breathes a little easier. He actually managed to distract Hijiri from his suspicious activity.]

[akumanotrill]

'course not.

[listens as he finishes his breakfast] Just everyone's doing alright. [gathers up his breakfast things and goes wash up]

[colony_brat]

Then ya shouldn't be upset when I lick your lips for ya.

[Duo waits just a moment before following after Hijiri. He really can't help himself. He has to keep an eye on Hijiri or do something to make sure he knows Hijiri is protected.]

[akumanotrill]

[sighs softly then ruffles Duo's hair] You really are a puppy~

[and he's at the sink washing up when he suddenly feels Duo pressing against him from behind] Mn? [he leans his head back a bit] What's the matter?

[colony_brat]

[grins] Ya seem ta like your puppy~

[Duo curls his body around his slightly taller lover so his nose is against his shoulder.] Nothin'. Just don't wanna be far from ya so I might as well be as close as possible.

[akumanotrill]

He's fun to have around~

[laughs] You're being silly again~ I'm going to have you stuck to me all day today then?

[colony_brat]

[barks with a grin]

[Duo huffs so hot air blows from his nose against Hijiri's shoulder.] I'm not silly. I missed you. And I don't have ta be stuck to ya. Just thought it was nice.

[akumanotrill]

[shivers a bit at that] I know you did. You made that very clear last night~ This is kind of nice~

[colony_brat]

So you're not mad 'bout me bein' this close and followin' you around~?

[akumanotrill]

Not yet~ [and finishes the washing up then just leans against Duo] But don't you have anything to do today besides stick close to me? I thought you had a restaurant to run.

[colony_brat]

[Duo lifts his arms to wrap them around Hijiri and hold him.] I run the place so if I wanna take a day off, I can. People'll just have ta make pizza themselves or wait 'til tomorrow.

[akumanotrill]

Mn... what do you want to do then? We can stand here all day like this~

[colony_brat]

Think your legs'll get tired before too long. You can do whatever it is ya wanna do today. I'll just follow you 'round like your little puppy.
