[Hey, Lup--wait, not Lupin

Akira

Hey, Akira. Guess who is walkin' into your coffee shop, big puffy hat atop head to cover ears. Big winter coat--it is winter after all--to cover tail. It makes him look smaller, being swallowed up by all that clothes. But the toothy grin is unmistakable]

Lu.

[rugpull]

I'm greedy.

Give me both.

[of course he wants both]

[survivaltricks]

[OF COURSE HE WANTS BOTH]

Okay.

What's your spice tolerance?

[rugpull]

Seven to eight outta ten.

[survivaltricks]

[fingerguns]

A man after my own heart.

[a pause]

But there's still the matter of payment. You don't have money, but we're still a respectable establishment.

[rugpull]

Whatcha want, Lu?

[survivaltricks]

[hand drifts towards the hat. he glances around to make sure no one is watching first, of course]

I'm a simple barista.

[rugpull]

[leaning forward, tipping head into his hand]

[survivaltricks]

[tugs off the hat and gently places it aside, before allowing fingers to dig into Biscuit's ears in a very satisfying, very affectionate scritch]

[he tips forward at the same time, bumping foreheads together with a shuddering inhale, before he mutters, voice low]

. . . I missed your stupid face, Biscuit.

[rugpull]

[eyes closed, drawing in his own slow breath. rubbing head into that nice, missed, but still familiar touch

his response is just a purr followed by tipping his head to the side, rubbing their cheeks together]

[survivaltricks]

[uuuugh weak, weak, weak, so weak. tilting his own head into that nuzzling, eyes slipping shut. stupid counter in the way, preventing him from dragging his favorite hyena into a tight embrace. but. . . in a way, this is nice, too]

[scritching continues even as Lupin lets out a small, breathless laugh, mouth curving into a bright grin]

And your ears as soft as ever. . . !

[rugpull]

Mmm...they are. And ya can touch 'em all week if ya help me find a place t'stay. Leona sent me on forced vacation while he's at a conference.

[said as he keeps nuzzling, teasing]

[survivaltricks]

What do you mean, "find you a place to stay?"

[his words are a bit airy, given even as he returns the nuzzling, nosing a bit into Biscuit's hair now]

My attic bedroom is big enough for two.

[because Loki is also nebulously away for detective reasons!!]

[rugpull]

...and the bed?

[Biscuit please]

[survivaltricks]

[OH]

[WE ARE ALREADY GOING THERE?? Akira gives a short pause before he draws back, lips curving into a lazy smile]

A little cramped, but in a good way.

[gentle ear scritch!]

I can't believe you're thinking about a bed when you haven't even kissed me yet.

[rugpull]

[pulls back

lil kiss on the nose]

Ya wanna kiss? I guess I can give ya one if ya reeaaallllyyy want it.
