good.[break][break]

the affirmation is wonderful to hear; it invalidates all the doubts he's had leading up to last evening and fills him with warmth and security; it's a feeling he would not trade for anything, he realizes.[break][break]

tackled into a hug, he returns it, falling deeper into the bed only to struggle to breathe. he wiggles his head free, chuckling.[break][break]

"try what, a relationship?"[break][break]

his heart skips.[break][break]

"we'll make it work. i know we will."

with his pillow abruptly snatched away from him only to hit him in the back of his head moments later, james snaps awake, eyes opening to stare up at his colleague/roommate/complication.[break][break]

"h-hey! watch it!"[break][break]

he blinks repeatedly, then brings his hands up to rub at his eyes as they continue struggling to stay open.[break][break]

"of course i mean it. i wouldn't joke about that, you know."

"lilycove is nice, i guess, but it can feel a bit too busy at times. i much prefer the quiet of ever grande, even thought about living there and commuting to work, but that'd kill me."[break][break]

besides, if he'd went through with that plan, then he would not get the amazing opportunity to live with his roommates, and that'd suck.[break][break]

he listens intently, nodding even if his eyes shift away to look at the passing aron.[break][break]

"you sure move around a lot. not judging or anything, just interesting how we've lived opposite lives."[break][break]

a beat, then he looks back.[break][break]

finally, after months of hard work and late night research sessions, james gets a full eight hours of rest, sleeping through it before being woken up by a nudge.[break][break]

he groans, eyes yet to open as he flips over to face wolfgang.[break][break]

"talk?"[break][break]

mumbling, he buries his head further into the pillow.[break][break]

"about work?"

her wink goes unnoticed as he's too distracted with cooking. he's familiar and trained enough to do so without much effort, but it's been a while since he'd last cooked, and he'd hate to mess anything up tonight.[break][break]

"that's good to hear! and it's, uh," he stirs, surprised to see her next to him, "gyudon. basically beef in a bowl."[break][break]

then, reaching over to pull the fridge open, he gestures in.[break][break]

"do you want anything to drink? i bought some stuff."

impossible, almost, as there are too many factors to account for. the question is too theoretical, leaving james at a lost.[break][break]

"how about you?"[break][break]

he defers to emerson while he busies himself with catching a cute pachirisu, tossing an empty pokeball at it after type: null handles it.[break][break]

wihle he appreciates the concern shown by the stranger, james wasn't in any real danger, not when he has his type: null with him. the synthetic pokemon was built with his own hands, after all.[break][break]

"how are you?" he calls back, feeling it only polite to ask in return.[break][break]

in all honesty, james had only planned for dinner, from buying the groceries all the way to eating their bowls of katsudon. whatever happens after that was unaccounted for, unplanned and natural.[break][break]

he's glad it's developed this way. it's complicated and messy, but he wouldn't have it any other way.[break][break]

wolfgang's invitation is taken and responded to in kind.

with his arms pinned, all he can do is stare up at his roommate, peering into their eyes as his mind wanders to what he'd only daydreamed of before.[break][break]

"yes."[break][break]

but before he can elaborate, he's silenced with another kiss, one he returns with more passion than the last as he's better prepared this time.[break][break]

"n-no, of course not."[break][break]

following suit, he takes his shirt off as well, hurried in his movements.[break][break]

"i was waiting to be invited in."

"—wolfgang!"[break][break]

his surprise washes away in favor of chuckles that escape him. when was the last time he'd been picked up like that? potentially never.[break][break]

the complications attached to this entanglement feel as tangible as wolfgang's arms around his waist but those will be dealt with later. for now, his wants are simple, his mind at ease as his legs wrap around wolfgang.[break][break]

"you haven't?"[break][break]

peering down at his roommate, he nods, mirroring the same excitement.[break][break]

"come on, then. carry me there."

again, not expecting such a direct approach, james is caught a little off guard by it, but within tenths of a second, he calms.[break][break]

the kiss is returned with ease, longing, and urgency all at once, leaving him wanting more after wolfgang pulls away too quickly.[break][break]

the bowls are grabbed and moved over into the sink to soak.[break][break]

"done."[break][break]

he looks back, wanting.[break][break]

"don't worry, i'll clean them later."

despite himself, his heart skips a beat.[break][break]

"i don't think you'd actually kill me."[break][break]

for reasons already stated previously: james would be missed too much, and now, wolfgang would have no one to cook for him. they'd have to succumb to the menial ready-made microwave meals available at convenience stores, and that sounds like a terrible life.[break][break]

"i'm not kidding," his head shakes, "i'm sure."

ah, so now it's wolfgang's turn to tease. he should have expected as much; he does expect as much; but it still somehow flusters him, coloring his cheeks pink as he quickly swallows the rest of his food.[break][break]

does it mean anything?[break][break]

he leans back in his chair in thought before finding the bravery to voice:[break][break]

"it means i like you."[break][break]

in what way exactly, he leaves it vague, perhaps unsure himself.

it's an endearing reaction, one james appreciates, and one he wishes he could relive again later, but he knows these type of reactions are hard to come by.[break][break]

he smiles, wolfing down his katsudon with ease.[break][break]

"i was told to make sure people understood the value i bring. i guess that's on me for bringing this one a little late."[break][break]

after a moment of chewing, he adds,[break][break]

"but i only really cook for my friends and family. i like it when it means something, you know?"

james doesn't have to taste his food to know that it's good; he knows because he'd cooked it with his heart and soul, following his parents' recipe which they still use to this day at their restaurant, except adapted slightly to better fit what he likes.[break][break]

even as he takes a bite, he's sure to keep an eye on wolfgang, watching for their reaction.[break][break]

"how can i cook and supervise you guys at the same time? that's too much work for one person."[break][break]

though not really their superior, he is their senior, so it still counts.[break][break]

"do you like it?"
