[armwriostle]

You need to be more descriptive than that, sweetness.
Where else would I be but in my room at this hour?

[relater]

That may be true...

But it's not that! You're not next to MY room!!!

[armwriostle]

?
What?
What do you mean?

[Wriothesley never realizing his rank has changed until someone brings it up first.]

[relater]

[ Ah. It makes sense, if he'd just thought logically. But all he'd felt was him winking out of proximity in the dead of night. ]

The door's gone.

[armwriostle]

Huh?
Wait.

[relater]

[ WAITING UPSETLY ]

[armwriostle]

Ah.
I changed ranks again.

These feel like they're happening more and more often to me.

[relater]

Again?? Nooo... take it back. At least until morning!

[armwriostle]

Apparently.

...
Why until the morning though?

[relater]

So I won't be so surprised!

[armwriostle]

Beloved...

How upset are you right now?

[He doesn't need to be an empath to know his lover is kicking his feet and sulking.]

1/2.

[relater]

[ ... ]

2/2.

[relater]

SUPER upset! Ahh a thousand thoughts popped up in my head... What happens if you get too caught up working at night and I can't scold you for sleeping at your desk? Or have that tea you really like ready for you as easily in the morning?

3/3 i lied.

[relater]

Then there's the matter of my closet. Which is more yours than mine, I think...

It's no good!

[armwriostle]

[It's funny to him right now because Wriothesley hasn't gotten to sit down just how entwined their lives had become. Even know, it just seems like Kizuna was just kicking up a fuss for him to chuckle at until he truly realizes how much he'll miss their company.

How different it is to just be living together versus sneaking into each other's space.]

We can still do those things.
We're just a floor apart.

[Tall words for a man who'll become a stage 5 clinger in return.]

Maybe if you ask the house nicely, they'll just rank you up.

[relater]

We've always done those things! But it felt better being closer. Besides, I can't show up in the elevator like I'd show up in your room...

[ Is he talking about being in his pajamas or not being in his pajamas? A mystery. Anyway — he's full-force pouting. But he's also being sincere. ]

Maybe I've gotten too used to it. Being the rank that I am...
Is it a floor up or a floor down?

[armwriostle]

Oh. How risqué of you. Are you trying to corrupt me, monsieur?

[He can't help but tease. Kizuna is cute when he's like this, even if he will quickly realize he misses Kizuna's closeness. At some point, he had grown used to having Kizuna so close to him.]

Right. You hadn't moved ranks since arriving.
How curious. I wonder what makes them decide to move us around.
I've never asked to be moved.
The first time was also not by my hand.

I went up a floor. I'm a Jack of Diamonds now.
Hah, well if you need to play the game, let me offer you a new card~

[Shameless flirt.]

[relater]

Mmm. Perhaps! Being within my grasp would make that easier, though.

[ He does love a good bit, even if he's distraught. ]

Maybe it's because you dislike being in the spotlight so much.
Wouldn't the house consider it a helping hand? Becoming royalty~

[armwriostle]

Well, I can't do anything about them tossing me through the ranks. You'll have to take your complaints up to the manager.

[He thinks that if he had a choice, he would be back in his comfortable little rank 7 set-up.]

Ugh.
Don't remind me. This place has made me feel more perceived than I've ever wanted in my entire lifetime.
I was content with the passable amenities of lower ranks.

[relater]

Bzzt, wrong answer. See, that's exactly the sort of thing that makes them want to mess with you.

Have you tried thanking our overlords for their precious rewards? Telling them how much you love the comfort of having a bathtub as big as your old suite? Maybe we should practice.

[ Yes, he's hamming it up in the middle of the night. He's sad. ]

[armwriostle]

Isn't this a lose-lose situation? Complaining will just have them mess with me, but I think praising them would just encourage it.

Kizuna, I can just come down to your suite if you miss me so much.

[He can be a big baby while cuddling or something.]

I didn't think the rank change would upset you so much.

[Then again. This is the first time they had the connected suites and the first time to lose it.]

[relater]

No, no. I'll be fine for tonight. [ a lie ] It's still late. We can figure it out in the morning... probably...

[ spoilers: that is NOT what happens because he is a massive baby. ]

[armwriostle]

Will you be fine though? You don't sound fine, beloved.

Besides, when has it being late ever been an issue before. Last I checked, you've dragged me into bed many a nights when it's "late" in your eyes.

[Kizuna is the reason he goes to bed at a more reasonable hour, honestly.]
