[ Reno opens his mouth and says the fated words: ]

yeah how hard could ut be? I bet we can figure it out

[abstractart]

hey, speaking of figuring things out though

next time you get distracted on shift can you do it like five feet to the left

[ Reno is slightly too drunk for this, has to read the message several times before it clicks and he laughs. ]

oops my bad

but also that wasn't TOTALLy my fault!!

[abstractart]

yeah i know it was at least half midnight's fault

but it WAS his party, so i think he was allowed to be in the way.

[astraphilia]

that's a good point okay okay sorry my mistake

it was a fun party tho huh

[abstractart]

yeah, it was

i wouldn't expect any less from something midnight put on but

pretty nice to feel like another year's something to celebrate, right?

[astraphilia]

[astraphilia]

[abstractart]

i don't know why you'd be thinking about me, is all

[astraphilia]

[abstractart]

...i guess that's fair

we were also talking about him though

[astraphilia]

ok true true true and I don't need an excuse to think about him

but mostly cause we talked about like. how weird it is to want to live

feels like kinda by extension, being glad to live to see another year is... yeah

weird but good yknow

[abstractart]

...yeah

wanting to have another year of living, another year of time with people, is

well. you get it.

[astraphilia]

yeah I get it





[ a couple minutes later ]

you ever think to yourself "wow we should be cuddling for this conversation"

[abstractart]

sometimes, yeah

i'm guessing that's what you're thinking now?

[man, maybe he's not wrong. even if it was a somewhat accidental detour, it's still gotten deeper than intended...]

[astraphilia]

yeah 100%

next time for sure

[abstractart]

i'm not too tipsy to leave the apartment yet, man

i should probably warn you that i have it on pretty good authority my voice puts people to sleep if they're already tired or drunk though

[astraphilia]

oh word? challenge accepted

[he just leaves a thumbs-up emoji in reply, before going quiet as he heads over; there's enough of a chill outside to sober him up further, considering he hadn't had much to drink to begin with, and to remedy that...

well. of course he shows up with a bottle or two tucked under one arm, knocking lazily on reno's apartment door.]

[astraphilia]

[ figuring that the quiet was Netzach making his way over, Reno had taken the opportunity to tidy at least a little—not that he's messy by nature, but there were some empty bottles on the coffee table and some cigarette butts in the ashtray, so Reno gets rid of both and does some other cleanup in the kitchen before he hears the knock that means Netzach is here.

he pulls the door open with an easy grin. despite his terrible typing, Reno holds his liquor fairly well face to face, so the only hint that he's still tipsy is that he moves a little more loosely than he would, otherwise. ]

Oh, he comes bearing gifts. [ Reno steps back to let him in. the apartment is pretty bare, honestly, except for the kitchen, which is noticeably the best-loved room of the place. ] Come in. It's cold out there, hey?

[abstractart]

No kidding.

[his face is flushed with it, nose and cheeks red from the chill more than the booze. netzach passes the bottles over, shrugging off his coat once he has both hands free again.]

Nice place, man. You keep it way cleaner than I would... if it weren't for Yesod, it'd be a real mess.

[astraphilia]

[ the bottles Reno takes, then uses his elbow to gesture at the free hook where Netzach can hang his coat. once he's out of his layers, Reno leads the way to the kitchen so he can put the bottles on the counter. ]

He seems like he'd be the neat type for sure. [ like the knows where each item goes and likes them in their places type. Reno sounds kind of fond about that—he's thinking of Tseng. ] I ain't sure I'd say I'm neat, I just don't have much stuff.

[ but for the kitchen and bedroom (and the azalea on the windowsill) this could be a model apartment. Reno hasn't even painted. ]

You want I should mix somethin'? What'd you bring?
