Don't threaten me with a good time - For Fragrant_hitachiin

[saltinourstars]

[Kei ignores the first buzz of the phone. And the second. He's going to see Kaoru in a few minutes, and it's fun to get him riled up sometimes. Besides, this is a new song. It deserves attention.

But by the seventh text? Okay, that's getting ridiculous. Kei scowls and digs out the phone to find a string of... SOS messages? Whatever's wrong, Kaoru sounds panicked.]

What's going on

Are you okay?

You're not wrong, but I'm not just going to study fashion. [Kaoru explains briefly.] Actually, right now I'm planning a double major in Fashion Business Management and International Business Law, and I might tack on a minor in Computer Science, since Hikaru probably won't, and I doubt you're interested in it.

[Although their mother's side of the family has most of the money, the twins can't neglect their father's assets, including his company. After explaining his plans, he smiles fondly at Kei and tilts his head.]

It would be nice to live together, wouldn't it? I know some student athlete programs require you to live in their dorms, though, so we'll have to see. I'll ask you properly another time.

[saltinourstars]

Computer programming? No thanks, sorry. You'll have to support my exorbitant scientist lifestyle.

[Tough gig, someone's going to have to pull the weight.

Kei's glad to hear these plans, though. Something more concrete then joking about weddings. Or...maybe not joking, but that's too big to grapple with. So this is a good step.]

I'd like to be in the same city, though.

Computer science is a science. [Kaoru protests with a little huff.] It even says so in the name.

[But he is teasing, of course, and he kisses Kei's jaw and hums.]

Wherever will I find the money to support my sugar boyfriend?

No wait he studies Fashion Merchandising like Elle Woods!

[saltinourstars]

[At least he's teasing about the computers and not fashion. Some things are too serious for that!]

Don't know. Better think of something. Your family already saw me in this sweater. What do rich people do after wearing clothes once? Burn them?

[This is a JOKE. Kei has grown a strange fondness for the sweater. Not that he would admit it.]

Perfect; his Queen

[fragrant_hitachiin]

[Kaoru snorts softly.]

Well, if you're famous enough, you could always sell it after you've worn it for more than it's worth. Then again... maybe that's just because my mom used me to model a lot of her designs...

But if you burn that sweater, just know you're burning my heart with it.

Everybody's Queen lbr

[saltinourstars]

Fine, if you're going to be melodramatic. I guess I'll keep it.

[Do you hear the suffering, Kaoru? Truly, this may be the greatest sacrifice Kei's made all evening!]

By the way - we're approved to wear those new uniforms you designed. I wanted to tell you in person.

[fragrant_hitachiin]

Wait, seriously? [Kaoru immediately sits up, expression bright and all teasing forgotten.] That's the best thing I've heard all day.

[saltinourstars]

Mm hmm

I guess that means you'll have to come to the tournament. It's your debut, right? You'd better make sure there aren't any last-minute disasters.

[What's that? He could just invite his boyfriend to watch him play? Nah.]

[fragrant_hitachiin]

I wouldn't miss it for anything. [He says with a knowing smile, before kissing his boyfriend again. Being in love has turned him into a sap, but Kaoru is too busy smooching Kei to care.]
