text, un: gautier, cw: some references to alcohol use and sexual content

[laidtocrest]

[Specifics tbd, but there's a drunk Midnight involved and he doesn't have a shirt and might've lost his pants. he's fucking naked.

But for now.]

a guy lost his clothes to the washer. anybody saw a pink shirt?

[Attached is a picture of Midnight. I have no fanart, so you must imagine this guy: no shirt, Jojo-posing, wearing a pink feathery thing, drunk, fly open.]

and here's the guy who lost his stuff

You're right - I'm not just a collection of faults, I'm a handsome collection of faults. [This is said brightly, firmly, like this is the big takeaway from what Dimitri had told him and he's inspired by the realization that he's a collection of faults in a pretty package, but then...Sylvain laughs. A little shivering laugh.]

Sorry, sorry, I had to. [Arm squeeze!] Thanks, really. You're the only person who really gets me here, for better and for worse.

[stubboarn]

Where did the handsome come from? That wasn't anywhere near my statement.

[ just kidding. also, don't worry. he's going to - what can he do that won't kill sylvain, his equivalent of disagreeing and arm-squeezing and so on - okay, he's going to shake his head in great disappointment yet again. ]

But it seems like this encounter really affected you, if we're back to your terrible jokes. [ dimitri looks at him thoughtfully, staring at him askance in a way that at least makes his blue eyes less intense at him. ] Do you need to take your mind off things? Want to go somewhere else and kill time before we head back? I'm sure the cleaning can wait.

[ yes, he'll postpone chores for him if it means he'll feel better. ]

[laidtocrest]

[...he's so tempted to take shameless advantage of this.]

...how bad's the mess?

[It might gnaw at him. The mess? It might bother him. He might need to clean it.]

[stubboarn]

Oh, er - [ dimitri frowns as he tries to remember how badly he'd done in the kitchen, which is hard because he wanted to Block It Out. ]

- well, two of our pots have black char at the bottom, and there's several containers around. [ glancing quickly at his face - ] But I put all of them into the sink, and I wiped down the counter and the stove? So it's ... not too messy, I don't think, it's just that they're all piled up in the sink at the moment.

[ is that ... ok? .... ]

[laidtocrest]

[Okay, he's nodding, he's envisioning it, he's imagining the damage, not too bad, not bad at all. It's workable.]

Let's grab some snacks on the way back and then see how bad things are. [Knight girding himself for battle, let's go.]

[stubboarn]

It's good to have nice things for yourself - especially after your hard work trying to help someone.

[ dimitri remembers something and briefly tells him - ] I saw a different kind of snack in this one store I went in. It was a chocolate bar, of some sort. The chocolate covered a mixture of granola with nuts and seeds, and it had a chewy centre.

[ a PERFECT mix of textures for him. ] We should try it.
