[Voice/Action] (backdated to Christmas morning)

[ledbythewind]

[There are the sounds of a somewhat muffled conversation in the background before Richard picks up the journal to address it, a clear undercurrent of happiness and slight excitement to his voice.]

So this is what they refer to on Earth as a "white Christmas." I've read that this sort of Christmas is the best kind to have despite the weather... what do all of you think? Do you prefer the snow, or would you like a sunny day?

[He'll be sitting on the couch sipping a cup of tea while he waits for answers-- and his housemates, because IT'S CHRISTMAS AND HE IS EXCITED due to not having this holiday in his world. Might as well enjoy it while he's here, right?]

Unusual? How so? [She thought her own presents weren't perfect.]

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

It's... not that big of a deal, is it? You're my friend, Richard.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I'm sorry, I'm just being sentimental. But I am grateful for it... truly.

[ledbythewind]

I don't think earrings are a typical gift for men.

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

Right... Yeah...

...Sorry, I'm just making this more complicated than it needs to be, aren't I?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[He laughs.]

I think we're both guilty of that.

[seiriald]

... They're not? [Feminine culture is feminine.]

[ledbythewind]

Are they in your world?

[... she would probably like Richard if she could see him.]

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

Maybe... We should start this over, then?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

From the beginning?

[seiriald]

Kinda, plenty of men wear them. I think it's a very pretty accesory, personally.

[She would hunt down and stalk the poor guy. :|b]

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

That might be for the best.

Well, it might be fun working together. You can get things done a lot faster that way.

[ledbythewind]

Do you? Perhaps I should think about getting my ears pierced, then.

[seiriald]

Would you really do that? [Up a few points for her if he would.]

[ledbythewind]

Do you think it would look good on me?

[seiriald]

Um, maybe...? [Dammit Richard why'd you have to ask a question about sight when she can't lie. :|] I'd have to see them first?

[ledbythewind]

[He laughs.]

Of course, I should probably ask Naoki's opinion on it as well if I'm going to go doing something like that.

[seiriald]

Is Naoki's opinion very important to you? [Since most people just do such things.]

[ledbythewind]

Yes, because Naoki is very important to me.

[seiriald]

Very...?

That.. must be nice...

[ledbythewind]

[That hand slipping up over his skin draws a shudder and a quiet sound, his eyes opening halfway to look at Naoki and smile at him. When he notices where Naoki's other hand is, that smile widens, and he slides his own finger in just deep enough to brush against that spot again. It should be obvious to Naoki when he finds it-- his back arches just slightly, head falling back onto the pillows as he struggles to keep his eyes open, to watch Naoki's response to this.]

[ledbythewind]

Do you have someone important to you as well, Kaori?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Without the part about Santa Claus and the chimneys.

[He'll be nice this time.]

[Naoki licks his lips unconsciously as he notices Richard's eyes open and that smile on his face. He swallows thickly and bites back another groan as he watches his reaction, hand quickening its pace moving over himself as he rocks his hips a little, panting quietly. His other hand comes to rest on Richard's chest, thumb stroking back and forth over his nipple. Just watching this is driving him crazy, heat burning low in his stomach.]
