Who: Jae-Ha & Others!
What: A catch-all post for various things I have planned
When: April 22nd (and maybe other dates if more stuff comes up)
Where: Various places
Warnings: None yet!

Closed to Tsuzuki

[It's only been two days, and Jae-Ha's feelings have only gotten more complicated. He waits for Tsuzuki at the door, not wanting to be so rude as to start drinking without him. Sending a simple text seems the best way to call him over, with god abilities as they are...]

I'm here now! ♥

[This was good in many ways, he thinks. Not only will he get to speak with Tsuzuki about this issue, but he'll be able to check on him, as well. He's been wondering how he's doing...]

Closed to Ukoku

[Jae-Ha's arms may be filled with bags of gardening supplies, but that doesn't stop him from soaring. He often likes to take the longer route home just to feel the breeze in his hair and watch the people below. In this particular instance, he happens to recognize one of the faces below. By now, he'd learned a few things from Hazel about this man, but it was nothing informative, really, so that just made him more curious.

He changes his direction and drops out of the sky in a rush of wind, landing elegantly a few feet away from Ukoku. As he stands, he flips his ponytail back over his shoulder with the bag still hung around his arm.]

Closed to Hazel

[After his small distraction, he's finally able to make it back to Hazel's temple. As usual, he lands in the yard and walks up to the door (the door, thankfully), but this time he calls out to Hazel without entering.]

[He raps his knuckles against the door in a few knocks and then steps back off of the porch with his bags of supplies. He's busy taking out the various seeds or plants he's brought, but most notably is a fully grown chrysanthemum in his hand. He'll pester Hazel with more calling out to him if he doesn't come out immediately.]

OPEN?? ISH??

[IF ANYONE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING feel free to spot Jae-Ha jumping around!! Or hit me up.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[What is he talking about... Hazel reaches over and taps the first search result for him, before they sit here all night wondering about google.]

One day ya might learn to type. Keep workin' hard. [Anyway, this article...]

What happened to all of that kindness you were showing me earlier? It's hard to be this old.

[He'll make jokes like this too, it's fine. But anyway, he'll read through this page with a hum.] They do resemble the sun, don't they? So each of those are an individually bloomed flower!

[ZOOMS IN ON ONE OF THE PICTURES.] How small.

This ain't kind? I helped. [See, so his sass is excused. And whoa, zooming in on this mediocre photo of a flower. He leans in again to look.]

It still doesn't make an ounce of sense to me.

I think that's the beauty of it.

[That it's fucking weird. Tapping on the picture a few times and unable to make it zoom back out, he just gives up on his phone and leaves it sitting on his stomach as he leans back, lying in the grass. He doesn't even know how to turn the screen off.]

Somehow, even just being in your presence does wonders.

[Nature, sure. Well, Hazel would rather not try to grow any of those, since he can't even handle one flower let alone so many in one. He watches Jae-Ha continue to be absolutely useless with his phone, leaning back on his hands and raising an eyebrow at the next comment. That's... hmm.

That's different.]

Y'know, ya might be the first person who's thought so.

[Not including, say, people who considered him literally a blessing because of his ability... those people don't count.]

Don't act humble now.

[The grass is more comfortable than he would have expected. He's tired, but not necessarily sleepy, and the company of Hazel is enough to distract his mind from the lingering thoughts of Tsuzuki's chat. So this was the way, then? He blinks up at Hazel instead of the moon now, raising one of his hands to slap lightly against his arm.]

There's no way that could be true.

Have I been humble yet? [No, humility is weak, and he is beautiful. That's real sweet of Jae-Ha, anyway, and since it's dark Hazel doesn't try to hide the fact that it makes him smile. Sure, he's been admired, but he's been living a touch-and-go kind of life that doesn't make room for too many genuine statements like that one.

But Jae-Ha's still sweet for saying so. Hazel nudges at his hand as he looks down at him.]

I'm not complainin', mind. All of a sudden I'm powerfully interested in hearin' ya say it.

You should know this just fine on your own.

[His hand flops weakly against the nudge before he drops it to his stomach with a laugh.] It only took a few moments to no longer feel any of that discomfort, right?

[It's dark, but he can still appreciate Hazel's smile when the light of the moon helps him. So, he'll do that for a few seconds before glancing away.] But if you're really having so much trouble understanding, I suppose I could remind you once in a while.

[Ah— he didn't even notice. He looks down at himself, lifting a hand to his chest like that will help him focus more on any of those residual feelings. He feels perfectly normal, now...]

I'll congratulate myself on bein' so damned good at it. [yes... this is fine.] Feel free to thank me anytime ya remember.

[God... Jae-Ha can't help but laugh at that. He sits up, catching how his phone slips off of him with one hand, and pulling at his hair ribbon with the other. He undoes the tie as he bumps shoulders with him.]

That's fine, but I still won't grovel. [His hair is down now, so he'll tuck his phone and ribbon away. Nice feelings aside, he's keeping him up, still.] If we head back, will you try to get some rest, this time?

[Nice hair, 10/10. Hazel isn't ridiculous enough to think something about how it looks even nicer in the moonlight, but it does catch his attention for a couple seconds there.

One day, he will have groveling.]

You're sendin' me off to bed? Might as well.

If you stay up much longer, I'll start to feel bad again.

[He shifts more, standing and offering Hazel a hand and a smile.] Besides that, I think I've had too much sake.

[He's feeling a little too sappy. Gross.]

[Is he any sappier than usual... #doubt]

Damned if I don't, huh? Alright. [He takes that hand to get back to his feet, brushing grass off himself with his other hand. This little walk hasn't been long at all, but Jae-Ha the broody maybe-drunk needs to go to bed more than he does, anyway.]

Next time, y'can be as irresponsible as ya like at home. [so....tomorrow.]

With permission like that, you may not have any wine left by the time we're finished.

[Time to wine it up tomorrow, he can't wait. Honestly, he was expecting a longer walk, too. But even just saying a few small things to Hazel lightened the mood, and strangely he was able to focus on different things. He lets go of his hand after a loose tug for him to follow, then brushes himself off a bit as well.]

There's still plenty. I haven't been checkin' on whether or not it takes care of itself, so to speak.

[That sounds like a real drunk thing to say when he isn't actually drinking while saying it. One day he'll know.

It's been a good walk, anyway, for how short it was and how little of it was walking. He's content to walk back inside with Jae-Ha, though he will stop to check for grass again on the porch. He has to sleep in these clothes...]

We should certainly find out by tomorrow. Let's make a test out of it.

[He will drink a whole cooler alone, let him do it. Ah, but before he just runs off on his own to inwardly scream about his gay thoughts and try not to transmit any tiny worries... Grass.

He sees some Hazel is missing, so he pats the side of his leg as he passes him to help out with that.]

Sleep well. [After a pat on the thigh, a pat on the arm with him leaning in to say this is just fine. He'll head upstairs now, he's wiped from all of the alcohol.]

[Boy howdy Jae-Ha sure has been touching his legs a lot all day today, wonder what that could be about?????

Nothing it's time to go to bed and not scream inwardly about gay thoughts because some of us are honest with ourselves, rip Jae-Ha.]

Closed with some openish??
