great! I'll be there soon :D

[Maybe twenty minutes later, Fai shows up at Kiryu's door bouncing like an excited four year old. He's dressed in ratty jeans and an old Bon Jovi t-shirt (and his pink Chucks as usual) and he's also sporting a very fresh black eye.

...which is probably the first part that's visible when he knocks, then cracks the door open and pokes his head in.]

I'm he~ere! Are you decent?

[ My goodness, Fai. Rather unfortunately for Kiryu, with added muscle mass came added clothes sizes. So while he's bought himself a new suit for work by now, the rest of his clothes haven't quite caught up yet. He's wearing sweats and a t-shirt that clings tightly to his new physique. It's either this or go shirtless...

Of course, when he sees Fai, he doesn't even bother with worrying about any of that. The black eye comes first. ]

Oh my god, what happened?

[...sorry Kiryu, Fai might be staring a wee bit.

...like really obviously staring.

After a moment he lets out a kind of strangled laugh.]

I could ask the same of you! [He slips through the door and closes it, so he's having a proper conversation instead of just peeking in the doorway.] Ah, this is nothing. I got caught up in a bar fight yesterday, if you can imagine that! Wrong place, wrong time.

Are you sure? Do you need some ice?

[ If there was any doubt that this is truly Kiryu, the way he frets is the same mother-henning as usual. ]

I-I woke up like this the other day, I can't explain it... except that I guess some of my hallucinomemories make more sense now.

It'll be fine! [He flaps a hand, waving off Kiryu's concern] But thank you!

I... wow. I wish I had hallucino-memories like that! Although I don't think I'd look nearly as good with all those muscles as you do~

[He just grins. He's really not actually trying to hit on you Kiryu, promise. Just. Damn.]

Okay. Those usually look worse than they are, huh?

[ Hopefully..... ]

I, uh... Thanks. [ He's still a little embarrassed!! ] I guess I really must be some kind of badass, looking like this.

Right, it's not so bad. I have a bit of a headache and it hurts to touch, but other than that it's fine. I probably should have covered it but I was really excited to come see you!

[...yeah leave it to Fai to get distracted from his awesome, life-altering revelation by muscles. /facepalm]

Hyuu~ You're definitely a sight! Not that you were bad before, of course! [The slightest of pauses, then nonchalantly:] Has Majima seen you, since all this happened?

You should definitely put ice on it if it's still hurting.

[ That's concerning, Fai!! Kiryu is going to keep blushing under all these compliments. ]

Ah, yeah, he has. He stopped by yesterday on his way to work.

Ah... [Fai's smile fades a bit. Kiryu's probably right.] Do you have any you can spare, maybe? I mean, after I show you my new trick? If not it's fine! I think I have some frozen veggies at home.

[...Kiryu is getting a very sly, very suggestive smirk now.]

Aaand~? What did he say?

Yeah, I have an ice pack in the freezer.

[ Kiryu's always prepared! And also really bad at catching flirting cues from dudes... ]

He was a little distracted by other stuff. But he did that it made sense that I remembered fighting those tigers.

[ Disappointing... ]

[Fai snorts a little at that.]

Yeah, I'll bet he was distracted by something alright.

[But enough hinting about his friends needing to get over it and kiss already--there'll be plenty of time for that later. For now...!

Fai rubs his hands together gleefully.]

Okay stud, can we turn out the lights? It'll make my trick look even cooler!

Well, he'd gotten something from Retrospec...

[ These innuendos and allusions are just flying over his head. Though "stud" is definitely not anything anyone's called him before. Ever. ]

Okay.

[ THAT'S DEFINITELY A SUSPICIOUS THING TO ASK BUT Kaz trusts Fai so of course he'll go ahead and hit the lights. ]

Okay, now bear with me! I've only been able to do this since last night, so--

[After a few seconds a soft, warm glow pierces through the darkened room. Fai is cupping his hands together, and the light is held between them. And it's not coming from anything, just... a little glowing ball, resting in his hands.]

[ Yeah, it's safe enough to assume that Fai is... doing that. Whatever he's doing. ]

Woah.

[The light illuminates Fai's face enough to show that he's grinning like a loon.]

I know! I mean I guess anything is possible after we were a few inches tall. And after you went from super-cute to stud-muffin and everything! So maybe mine isn't quite as impressive, but I really like it~

[ Aw, it's good you're having fun, Fai! Kaz smiles a bit at that. ]

This is really cool. It's like magic-- that's way cooler than anything I could do.

[Fai gives him a skeptical--albeit good-natured--look at that.]

Kiryu, you remembered how to fight out of nowhere and got ripped overnight. I... am a flashlight, apparently. But hey, at least I'll save on batteries!

[He presses his hands together to extinguish the light]

Hit the lights?

[ Kiryu nods, stepping back to hit the lights. ]

Mine's just helping me save time on going to the gym. Making light out of nothing is pretty rad.

[He gets a laugh at that]

Are you kidding me? Like I said, you were already cute, but now you're like catnip. If you ever have to even try to find a date after this I will be floored.

[ Kiryu blushes... ]

I'm not... I'm not really looking for anyone right now.

[ Well, at least he's not looking because he's kind of already found someone he likes. ]

[See this? This is the most smug expression ever. Fai does smug really, really well.]

Uh huh. Well, I'm going to go show your not-sweetheart my cool new trick later too, because he's a big nerd and I think he'd appreciate it. Can I maybe steal that ice pack from you for a few minutes before I go?

Who-- [ Who indeed. ] Do you mean Majima? He's... Why would you think he's my "sweetheart?"

[ Somehow, Kiryu is both dying of embarrassment and also going to get you that ice pack, Fai. Consider it a blessing. ]

Because I have eyes, cupcake. Even if one of them isn't working so great right now~

[He just smirks and perches on the arm of the couch with his arms crossed while Kiryu makes his escape.]

I...

[ He pauses at the freezer, staring down this bright blue ice pack. ]

Is it obvious? Do you think he knows?

[ Kiryu, you're not the obvious one here... ]

Hmm, well. Let's just say at the party I kind of wanted to shove you two in a closet together for a while.

[a la Seven Minutes in Heaven.]

...a closet, not the closet. But it's not just you that's super obvious, so don't worry too much.
