APPOINTMENTS POST

This post can be used to thread with or get in contact with Richard 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.

GO NUTS.

And yet you don't seem to mind.

[Clingy though he may be, there's a certain line that he won't cross, even drunk as he is right now. Sanji is quite firmly friendzoned for multiple reasons-- oh, sure, he's attractive enough, and Richard isn't going to lie to himself about not noticing that fact, but he's a friend, nothing more. Richard is quite happy with the status quo and he has no intention of trying to change it.]

It's not like you're the first guy to hug me.

You're the...

[He has to pause and consider this for a moment. How many people HAS he hugged?]

... fifth person I've ever hugged.

[And he sounds proud of this fact. FIVE WHOLE PEOPLE, MAN.]

[...

And just like that, Sanji suddenly bursts into amused laughter.] Oi, five's pretty good! [He's being fairly honest, and that fact alone is probably telling of his own hugging experiences.]

You think so?

[This just makes Richard look even more pleased. He's doing well on the hug count! This is something to be proud of!]

Yeah. In fact, I'm not that far ahead of you. [His head tilts at an angle, lost in thought, and he starts rambling off the names as they come to him] I've hugged Nami-san, Vivi-chan, Miyabi-chan, Xion, Katara-chan, Usopp, Ginko-- [Right after that last night, all semblance of a smile drops from Sanji's face. In fact, his expression seems to dwindle.]

... Like I said. [he straightens in his seat a little, or as much as he can with Richard leaning on him] Not that many more than you.

[Richard isn't so completely wasted that he doesn't notice that change in Sanji's expression; though he isn't entirely sure what caused it (as far as he knows, Ginko was a close friend and nothing more), the proper response to it is clear.

Sanji's getting another hug, this time less enthusiastic and more gentle, comforting. Not that Richard's the best in the comforting department, but he tries, and it's the thought that counts, at least.]

[Unlike the first time, this hug doesn't take him by surprise. He's still aware enough to expect it, and Sanji graces Richard with another smile that doesn't really pass for okay.

He'd forgotten how difficult it can be to pull himself out of a mood once he's slips into it after drinking. Why was this a good idea again?]

Mmfine. Don't worry about it. [Still, he tries to steer the conversation somewhere else, or offer Richard some semblance of peace.]

[It's probably a good thing that Richard has been drinking too, because the alcohol is blunting his perception enough to make that half-hearted reassurance seem more genuine than it normally would, that smile a little more real. It's enough for Richard to drop this line of questioning, at least, in favor of something more fun (and effective): ordering another drink!

... but still not detaching. Sorry, Sanji.]

... Richard. [There's a hard slur in that last syllable] M'not draggin' you home if you keep drinkin.

Then you can just... take me home with you instead.

[Obvious solution is obvious... at least to him.]

[Because Sanji is going to be totally okay with taking a gay man back to his house. Jeez, Richard.

...]

You c'n have the couch.

And a blanket?

[THAT PART IS IMPORTANT, OKAY.]

If it'll make you go to sleep faster. [pause] No takin my cat, though.

Give me a pillow instead and we'll call... call it even.

Hn. You always this much offa demanding drunk?

[Give him a moment while he considers this.

... a long moment.]

[TAKE YOUR TIME, YOUR MAJESTY. Sanji will still be here, waiting patiently and wondering if he will ever reach a state of inebriation that makes him forget you're a guy.

#ThingsSanjiWonders]

[STILL THINKING.

At last, hark! A glimmer of recognition!]

... what was the question?

[/KANYE SHRUG.]

Hell if I know. [He got distracted by strands of Richard hair in his face - which leads him to question #2]

Why d'you keep your hair so long?

I always thought it looked prettier this way.

[That probably wasn't quite the word he would've gone for normally, but it does fit. Even with shorter hair, he'd never really be able to pull off looking that masculine.]

[Ugh. That word again. It's the bane of his existence.]

Tch, got that right. [His lack of a brain-to-mouth filter atm is also the bane of his existence]

Does that mean you like it?

[Oooh, a compliment. Richard is no stranger to getting those, but it means a lot more when it comes from someone he actually knows rather than a stranger.

Sanji thinks his hair is pretty~]

It-- [His mouth closes, then opens again. Closes. Opens. Repeat three times]

It... suits your... [He starts making random gestures he hopes will illustrate his point, because fuck if he knows what it is anymore] You. Your face. Your... Your you.

[Good thing Richard is equally drunk at this point and thus this rambling attempt at a compliment makes perfect sense to him!

... either that or he's just distracted by those random gestures. It's hard to tell.]

Yes, I think so too.

[Why is it so hard to remain upright...]
