Hey Val. You said your partner's name is Kazu, right?

[gen_derfluid]

Yes, I did

What has he done now?

[ The last part's 90% a joke. ]

[braveoff]

Something incredibly sweet and thoughtful for my partner. On a scale of 1 to 10 how worried should I be about our subs running off together?

[gen_derfluid]

[ That gets a real laugh on Val's end. He knows what this is about now. ]

Ahhh, yes. Hmm, 3? You never know

[ If he weren't behaving and keeping his Kazu teasing private there would be a 'we'd have to wait a year to know', but he's being good. ]

[braveoff]

Not terrible, but I've gotta seriously up my game if this was just his opening move.

How've you guys been settling in?

[gen_derfluid]

You might just. He never does do things by halves

We are starting to adjust, I think. We have both found work and are settling into some kind of 'normal', making the most of it all, you know

[braveoff]

I got that vibe, yeah. A little over the top but in a cute way?

That's the way to do it. What's normal looking like?

[gen_derfluid]

Exactly that, yes. He's very sweet, his actions say much for him that he won't

Mostly spending the time together at home, doing all those 'boring' little domestic things together. Trying out some of the clubs at night, too

[ Why yes they are still kind of glued at the hip, if not so completely they haven't been apart at all. ]

[braveoff]

I'm glad you put boring in quotes. Domesticity is extremely underrated.

You should wander down here next time you've got a free night.

[gen_derfluid]

I didn't think it was my thing, but it is certainly growing on me

[ 'Because of Kazu' goes unsaid but certainly implied. ]

I should have time in the next few days. I can bring some leftovers, perhaps, repay the favour from before. Kazu's cooking is very good

[ They probably wouldn't really have many leftovers if Val was used to eating bigger portions but until then. ]

[braveoff]

That's just cuz you're young and it doesn't sound exciting.

[ Drake only has maybe five years on Val, but his point stands. ]

Sure. Lemme see what I'm up against.

[gen_derfluid]

Point given. Exciting is certainly my usual fare

I will tell you when I know which day, to make sure you're actually free

[ And he will do that, when he has a night off where he's not in work and Kazu has an evening shift. Text ahead and then come down the few floors to knock on the door with a box of leftovers and a bottle of something, too. ]
