 ❛ Saeyong Joon ❜
▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Anneyong! I’m 준 새용 || I'm feeling Pleased || I'm speaking to Avi, his friend and family || Where am I? Octavius' house || What am I wearing? My attempt at respectful - gloomy

Saeyong too could see the change in the man, the positive change that made him feel warm inside the longer he'd spend time with him, something he didn't wish to see changing anytime soon. Funny how he wouldn't have bat an eye about it another day with any other person, though, oddly enough the man had something about him that kept him grounded more than he would have imagined. He looked back at the man while he clarified and nodded, "I see, well, that makes sense. I also feel flattered." he added, nodding with a little smile.
Plating the pasta with the man, he let him hand them out and smiled a little when he teased Masumi. His attention shifted back to him when he heard him speak in a familiar tongue, his eyes widening for a moment as his lips tugged into a rather mischievous smile, nodding fervently. (("With pleasure."))" he said with a playfully, seeing no reason why he couldn't fulfill that request. After all, teasing Avi was nothing less than interesting now, chuckling a little as he watched the man trying to get it out of him.
Watching as his attention shifted over to him, he raised a brow when he held his face. While he didn't mind the attention, he grew suspicious as to why he'd start showering him with this attention now. He returned the kiss and slowly felt his wicked little grin return when he heard the question. "Tell you what?" he asked innocently, willing to play along for the attention now. He felt goosebumps raise along his skin with each kiss that followed, shuddering a little as he smirked and shook his head, "No way," he teased, clearly willing to keep the secret for the attention.
Surprised by the interruption, he leaned down into his hand and tried to stifle his laughter, pursing his lips a little as he shook his head and straightened up. "I can wait for you." he said with a playful wink, also implying he'd not leave him alone in the kitchen, more than willing to hold back a little longer if it meant going out with him to see the others. "What does he eat?" he asked curiously while he lingered still.

σccυραтισɴ : Soleil Librarian | sтαтυs : Complicated | συтғιт: : Casual clothes for once | σσc : Avi is his usual color, Masumi is this color, Marcellus is this color, and Castielle is this color.
The pout is coming on. He can already tell that Sae is going to enjoy every minute of teasing him over this. He may know some languages, but it is nothing compared to Masumi who would study languages and assist in translations for museums. Masumi spent most of his life with his nose buried in books, so it wasn't much of a surprise in the end. "The two of you working together against me is a terrifying possibility I do not want to be the victim of." He can already hear Masumi's words of teasing along with Sae's in his ears. Despite the fact that he feels like they would make a terrifying duo against him, it makes him feel happy. The teasing may have been cut short with the bird intervening, but the atmosphere being light and playful has been nice.
What also felt kind of nice to him, was Saeyong's interest in Atlas and his willingness to stick to Avi's side for the time being. It would probably be for the best anyways. Castielle hasn't exactly been inviting, and even Marcellus can be pushy when he wants to grill someone for info. Taking his hand in his own, Avi leads the man towards the door that leads out to the sanctuary. "With his wing getting a little better, he's been able to eat live prey running on the ground floor. Right now he's eating large mice, but soon he should be able to eat rats no problem." Live prey is certainly better for a wild bird like Atlas anyways. It doesn't matter how much Avi has tamed him. He's spent most of his bird life hunting live game. "I tried giving him dethawed frozen mice, but I think he could tell they were dead awhile. He would only take fresh prey so I had to do a lot of meal planning with the vet for awhile. I have to say, I am relieved he can now hunt on his own, it means he is getting much better."
He outstretches his arm so that Atlas can move to his perch. He gives the bird's head another pet before he's taking Saeyong over to the cage he has just outside the sanctuary with mice running along inside. "Sorry if it is a little gruesome, but he was wild before I took him in so I think he will refuse any other kinds of food I give him." He takes a bucket and starts to carefully transfer the mice into it. "Sorry little guys, the food chain beckons." A black mouse hops onto his hand from the cage and runs up his arm, eventually hiding in the hoodie of his jacket. "Zeke no. Atlas will eat you." He reaches back to take the mouse out and place him back into the cage, but he struggles a bit to get him to sit still in order to get him. "Um...Zeke was the first mouse I got to feed to Atlas. I...well he had so much personality that I couldn't stomach feeding him to Atlas so I bought other mice. He stays here instead and I might be...waiting for an order I put in to give him his own cage. Could you...get him for me? He doesn't bite and I clean them daily to make sure they aren't filthy when I give them to Atlas."

❛ Saeyong Joon ❜

Anneyong! I’m 준 새용 || I'm feeling Pleased, playful || I'm speaking to Avi, his friend and family || Where am I? Octavius' house || What am I wearing? My attempt at respectful - gloomy
▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Saeyong sported a smile like never before, seeing his pout was nothing short of adorable and he was enjoying every bit of it. While he didn't mind telling him straight away what was discussed, but would he have gotten to see this adorable expression on his face? Absolutely not! So, he can take a little more teasing. "Come now, it isn't so bad." he smiled, moving an arm around him as his he pecked his cheek and looked a little startled when the bird came down to demand attention.
Saeyong obviously didn't want to go out there without the man's company. He wasn't used to them yet and leaving Avi alone at the moment didn't seem very polite of him. Manners aside, because he lacked in them, he wanted to spend more time with him even if it was doing mediocre things like feeding the rescue bird. He followed the man and squeezed his hand a little. "Really? That means he's recovering well." he said with a little smile. "Well he is a bird of prey, not a vulture so, dead game won't be something he would like." he said, nodding a little from the man's confirmation that he was going much better than how it all started.
Watching as the bird moved to his perch, he walked with the man to his cage and noticed the mice running around. Looking back at the other with a raised brow, he gave a tiny scoff and shook his head. If only he knew, this wasn't necessarily as gruesome as he thought. "I understand, it is in his nature." he said with a little smile, as was in his own to devour raw meet sometimes. He let the man do his work as he looked around the cage, only looking back when he seemed to be struggling with the mice. One in particular. "You can't name them, that will make you attached to them." he teased, but moved over to help him nonetheless.
"Sure thing darling, just hold still." he said, dismissing the man's concerns of safety and sanitation immediately as he rolled his sleeves up and tried to grab a hold of the fast little thing. He remembered catching them before, his hands covered in bites from the nervous rodents, sometimes eating them, sometimes befriending them. That was a long time ago though, so he didn't necessarily have an appetite anymore for them, but did struggle a little and felt him slip through his fingers a few times.
After a few good seconds, he did finally manage to grab him before he tried to run up and in through the neckline of the man's hood, into his clothing. The kept his grip a little firm but not enough to crush it, feeling it squander before slowly relaxing. "Got him." he said, looking over at the man from their closeness and stole a quick peck from his lips. "He's not allowed in there, that's still for me to explore." he teased and moved to the cage, "In here?" he asked, making sure he was leaving him in the right spot.

He's already flustered from admitting that he kept one of the mice as it is, but Saeyong teasing him about it makes his ears burn in embarrassment. "It isn't like I named all of them. Zeke is just...different." His face softens as he sees the said mouse finally in Saeyong's grip. Edging closer, he gives the mouse's head a little rub before Saeyong returns him to the cage. "He's a good mouse. He eats whatever I give him without a fuss, keeps his little area neat and tidy, constantly cleans and grooms himself, and gets in the way of any disputes between the other mice." Like he said, the mouse had some personality. He watches Sae put him away, nodding in affirmation when the man asks if he was putting him into the right place.
He doesn't comment on the little kisses he gets from Sae, but one could tell by his face that he looks pleased with them. It shows that they have grown pretty comfortable with one another. Something he didn't realize was possible for him. "Well, as soon as we can get some time alone without interruptions, you have free reign." He might regret housing his siblings and Masumi around his own bedroom, but he does have a large home with plenty of rooms on the opposite side of the house. "I even have a very large bathtub if that does anything to persuade you." Not that Saeyong needed much persuading. They have been pretty up front about their attraction and desires since Saeyong came here.
Moving on from danger waters while he has a bucket of squirming mice, he goes back into the sanctuary and closes the door behind them to seal the mice in with Atlas. Though they are about to be eaten, he still gently tips over the bucket so they can scramble out and try to find coverage in the grass. He gives Atlas another pet before he puts the bucket away and leads Saeyong back inside. When he locks the door and washes his hands, he waits for the man to do the same so they can grab their plates and join the others. "Ready to get back into the interrogation room?" Because he already knows his brothers will resort to hounding the man with questions.

❛ Saeyong Joon ❜
▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Anneyong! I’m 준 새용 || I'm feeling Pleased, playful || I'm speaking to Avi, his friend and family || Where am I? Octavius' house || What am I wearing? My attempt at respectful - gloomy
▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Saeyong leaned over to peck his arm, careful not to let the little rodent escape his grip again to assure him he was just teasing him, but listened to him explaining the little guy's personality to him with a curious look on his face. Sure in his time he had seen such smart mice, but often times, hunger kept him from thinking too much about it. "Zeke sounds wonderful." he admits, "I think he deserves his own little cage." he adds, recalling how he'd already told him he was planning on that, but still reiterated that as he set the little guy down after confirming with the other. "No more running out." he said in a firm tone, as if it would understand him.
Saeyong himself never thought he could be so attached to someone, the last few times it happened, it ended in disasters, but this time, he felt a sense of security being himself and stealing little kisses from him. He liked this, to say the least, it made him warm inside to think of him, to watch him work or to even see him look his way. He wanted more. "Be careful what you allow me to do, I am very curious." he admits in a playful lilt to his tone. Of course he didn't need any persuasion, he was shameless enough to take his chances the first chance he got. His gaze narrowed as he mentioned a bathtub, watching him as if he had said something absurd. "Is that because I'm part siren?" he asked, crossing his arms now that they were free and pretended not to understand the intention behind his words - if he was teasing him. "But yes, I will have a bath with you." he added, not wanting to miss out on that, seven hells, he'd be a fool to deny him. Did that make him easy? Maybe, but Saeyong never prided himself in playing hard to get.
Saeyong waited while he did his thing, watching as the mice ran to hide and watched the bird now, patiently sitting on his perch while Avi pet him. His mind tried to drift back to some memories, unpleasant ones even, but that quickly halted as he was being escorted away to wait his turn and wash his hands. He did so and wiped them dry before taking his plate now. "Ready when you are." he'd say, following him out after turning off the lights and making sure the stove and everything else they used was turned off too. Nobody needs accidents after all. "About that tub though, does it even fit you?" he asked, nudging his arm as a playful jab to his height. "Then we might struggle sharing it." he added with a little grin but hushed himself the closer they got to where his company was. Not that he minded teasing him, but of course, he wasn't going to let them ruin a potentially spicy, saucy evening should they find out.
Once inside, he found himself a spot, next to Octavius but still giving him enough space to look at his other guests so he wasn't hogging him to himself. As nice as that would be, he didn't want them to feel like they were all third wheeling this evening. After all, they came to visit the man and they had all the right to be able to openly chat with him. "Is it good?" he asked, addressing everyone for once, small talk or his simple attempt to try and integrate but not by pushing himself onto them.

He planned to comment on his comfort in letting Saeyong explore his body, but he paused in everything when he heard what Sae said about the tub. "A siren...so that is what you are." He sighs as he places his freehand on Saeyong's lower back while he balances the plate in his other hand. "The one I am talking about is more for when I need to relax after working out. It's more like an onsen with a side for cold water and a side for warm. Just in case things get too heated." He doesn't seem at all deterred by the information Saeyong gave him. As if the man hadn't dropped a small bomb on him just now. Instead, it makes him feel more relieved that the man felt so comfortable with him to let it slip out."I thought it would be nice to become familiar with one another. It would also be easier to clean up the first time than in the room. But I am glad that it works in my favor even more."
Before they would be fully enter in the room with the others, he presses a kiss to his head again with words of assurance that they can continue later on when they are in private again.
He sets his plate down and takes his seat by Saeyong before he's finally looking at the men who had been waiting. It is telling what kind of people they are based on the state of their plates. Cas has already eaten through his halfway, it looks like Marcellus is on round two, and Masumi hasn't touched his at all. "Well I don't know the taste yet, but I told them we should wait until you guys were done with Atlas. Well, you know them." Marcellus looks a little embarrassed but Castielle shrugs it off. "And I said that you guys were busy flirting and we might be waiting here all day." Avi shakes his head with a chuckle, but he gives Masumi's leg a tap with the back of his hand. "Thanks for waiting on us Sumi. At least someone has faith in us." He uses one hand to pick up his fork and start eating as his other rests on Saeyong's leg so he can give supportive squeezes here and there. "It is delicious, thanks for the meal you two."

Realization hit the man like a truck, when he heard the man confirming his findings. He slipped and he didn't even realize it until the man pointed it out. Now, it was not necessarily a secret, but he didn't like people knowing. He could live without the use your voice on me, or comments that potentially made his energy drop. That and in water, the more common ones like, transform for me or things that were reminders of his past. Though, part of him didn't mind that the man knew, they had just crossed a few boundaries today, it was only possible that he'd start slipping bits of him around and more should he ask. "Only on my mother's side." he admitted, feeling a familiar rise in his heartbeat to brace himself for questions. Why? he never knew, he even dropped that bomb on people sometimes without realizing it, but he knew it happened when he did. The conversation didn't seem to stir in the direction he thought it would, his shoulders tensing less now as he heard him describe his tub - or luxurious tub. "Sounds pretty delightful if you ask me." he admitted, now clearly starting to feel excited at the thought of a relaxing bath but even more so, the attention that would come with it. Part of him was also surprised that he was willing to go this far, but he didn't mind it, nodding at the thought. "I just hope it wouldn't be uncomfortable, to get to know each other for the first time." he teased and nudged his arm a little.
Nodding and watching as he'd step away after the kiss, a quick sigh escaping his lips. He wasn't tired, or exhausted, simply in awe of this side of the man that he saw, a little surprised at himself that he found him gravitating more towards him. Even if it wasn't all too intimate.
Taking his seat by the man, he looked around and glanced at their plates and then back at them as he waited on a response. A small smile plays on his face as he saw that Masumi waited for them, a small chuckle threatening to escape when Castielle thought they'd have them wait. While he wasn't wrong, he did try to be civil for their sakes. "Zeke went lose and we didn't want him becoming Atlas' next meal." he said in their defense before he took his own fork to eat. "There is more if you'd like." he'd add to the two who already started before he decided to try his own. "Thank you." he nods at the two, and then at Avi, moving his free hand over the back of his with a little squeeze, trying the pasta himself now. "It really is delicious, you should cook more often." he nudged the man playfully. "I can easily drop by more often." he'd add.

"That means you are like me then. One foot in that world, one foot out." His mind wasn't really filling with thoughts on Sae's powers or what he could possibly look like. Instead, he was thinking more about how at the aquarium, Saeyong looked like he wanted to be in the water. Or the way the fish looked interested in him whenever they walked past the glass. For him, it just made some behavioral things make sense. And it isn't like Avi would ever want to be controlled by music. He spent enough time controlled by someone in the past. "I don't think it will be. At least not for me. I want you to see me in a way where I can't hide." He still surprises himself with how much he wants to push out of his comfort zone more with Sae. He doesn't want to run away.
The brothers and Masumi look confused by the name, even pausing in their eating to look at Saeyong like he's crazy. "Zeke?" Avi's ears start to burn as Masumi looks to him and raises a brow in question. It doesn't take the man long though before he's grinning at Avi and poking his leg. "You kept one of them didn't you?" He can feel the burn on his ears spread. He is really grateful to Saeyong for changing to subject again. "You could come for dinner often if you want. I usually eat alone, but the company would be nice too."

"That sounds like a poetic way of putting it." he said, oddly finding that nicer than it must have been for the two. He liked it, in some way. It probably was because that was how he felt. He wanted to belong so bad that he tried everything he could, only to realize neither side claimed him nor wanted him, so he just adapted on his own. Just like the man by him, someone who had endured so much and came out and away- so far from what he used to be. Even though he wasn't aware of the extent of everything he had gone through, the progress he saw was something. The man's words that followed drew him out of his mind, only to send him right back in with some new fuel to keep him there. "I think I'd like you to see me that way too." he said, more than just physically. For once in his long life, he wanted to be known and that didn't come easy.
Saeyong stopped and looked visibly confused from the looks everyone gave him, soon wondering if he said something wrong, like, did Avi name the poor animal after someone they all knew? It didn't take long before he found himself looking back from him to Masumi when he saw that the man caught him, nodding quickly while Avi was still flustered and then proceeded to eat in the most nonchalant manner should he notice him. He did proceed to complement him though, genuinely even as he enjoyed the meal they prepared. "I would like that, not like I have company either." he admitted, not like he kept his playthings for a meal. But, he didn't have a lot of visits recently either.

σccυραтισɴ : Soleil Librarian | sтαтυs : Complicated | συтғιт: : Casual clothes for once | σσc : Avi is his usual color, Masumi is this color, Marcellus is this color, and Castielle is this color.
Never being able to truly belong to one side or the other can often feel lonely. Avi was lucky to have his brothers and Masumi for awhile until things went to s**t. However, part of him feels like Saeyong didn't have the same luxury of company at any point in his life. At least not any that were good for him. "It is nice that someone can actually understand." That he doesn't feel like he has to really explain it, because Saeyong just knows what he means. "I see you now, but if you'll let me, I would like to see more." Physically or otherwise. He finds himself wanting to know Saeyong past the mask the man is always having to wear. He knows that it may take time and they might still butt heads in some things, but at least he feels like they are on the same page for a change. He's been feeling that way with him all day so far.
He did notice, and he gave Saeyong a brief glare with zero heat for him contributing to his embarrassment. Man, he won 't hear the end of that for awhile. He can already hear Castielle teasing him when he does his wellness calls over the phone. His taunting voice singsonging Avi's weakness. "You're welcome at any time, just let me know in advance in case I am not home. You could just come pester me wherever it is I am." he last couple of times they had interactions, it is because they happened to run into one another. However, like when Avi invited him over prior and today, it would be an intentional meetup. He wants to offer that to Sae to show that he really does want him around.
A throat clears as Castielle looks disgusted. "Could you stop flirting in front of my dinner?" Marcellus swallows his bite and takes a sip before nudging Castielle. Clearly his focus is his food, but he can't pass up an opportunity to drive his brother mad. "I think it's cute. Avi-nii hasn't been this way for a long time. Its nice to see him relaxed again." Masumi gives Avi a pat on the shoulder with a beaming smile. "I concur. Ignore Castielle, he's just jealous that he's not getting more attention." The male in question makes an affronted noise with a reddened face as he bats Marc's hand away from his food. "I am not! Liar!" The two start to bicker but they all grow quiet as they hear Avi laughing behind his hand. As if it is a shock every time they hear it, the siblings watch as he smiles and laughs at their bickering. "I'm sorry. I just...sometimes this feels like a dream. I missed the bickering and horseplay."

❛ Saeyong Joon ❜

Anneyong! I’m 준 새용 || I'm feeling Pleased || I'm speaking to Avi, his friend and family || Where am I? Octavius' house || What am I wearing? My attempt at respectful - gloomy

Surely, there might have been a moment or two where Saeyong found himself a little envious of Avi's company, knowing they were there for him through some of his difficult times. But, that feeling often faded quick since he was used to his life, the feeling of being alone. That didn't change the need to have company from time to time, though with Avi, he was starting to feel more than just that. He didn't care of things would go the way they did with most of his company, so long as he could spend time with the other. "I suppose you're right." he admitted, nodding a little at the thought. Of course he knew. Saeyong could tell it wasn't the way some meant it, he understood a little too well what he meant and while normally, he'd feel the need to retreat when someone tried to pry that mask off his face, he wanted to willingly let it go now. Maybe in bits, but still. It was safe to be himself. "I would like that." he said, exhaling a bit one, realizing it has been a long time since he's done that. He wonders if he'd be able to tell himself apart anymore. Even so, he wanted to be seen, by him.
Saeyong casually looked away when he noticed him glaring, carefully stifling a laugh as he tried not to choke on the food and swallowed before he actually did. "I will take you up on that offer." he said with a playful grin, definitely not intending to hold back and abuse that freedom. "Sorry in advance if your boss gets mad." he adds, briefly wondering if he still had that little issue with his boss. She was his boss right? The woman he spoke of when they first met? Though, maybe a conversation for later, considering how it made him feel last time.
Looking at Castielle's reaction, he looked a little confused, this wasn't flirting now was it? He was just talking to the man and...okay, maybe implying to meet more often could be taken as flirting. He did pass up on responding continued eating with a little smile playing on his lips from the bickering between them. Especially since it caused Avi to laugh. He liked it, he liked hearing him laugh and if someone caused that, he was happy. He didn't want to say anything to ruin this moment, so instead he tried to live in it and just take in their warmth for each other, smiling a little as he soon finished his meal.

tab ʟσcαтισɴ : Hσme | cσмραɴץ : Saeyong, Masumi, and my brothers | ғєєʟιɴɢ : Amused but incredibly happy | тнσυɢнтs : "It feels good to laugh, but I also want to cry because I am so happy." | ʀєsιםєɴcє : 1513 Lumiere Housing District | ρʀσғιʟє : Here
σccυραтισɴ : Soleil Librarian | sтαтυs : Complicated | συтғιт: : Casual clothes for once | σσc : Avi is his usual color, Masumi is this color, Marcellus is this color, and Castielle is this color.
He hopes he hasn't made Saeyong feel isolated while here, that he can find some common ground with Avi. It isn't often that Avi actively wants someone to connect with him, and especially not his family. The more he gets to know him, the more he feels like he's drawn in by the real parts of Saeyong he sees through the cracks. It's funny how just seeing a little bit of the man hiding made Avi melt down some of his walls around him. He wasn't some fake person looking to be malicious with Avi. He's just another person trying to get by on his own.
Had this been around the time they just met, Avi wouldn't have extended such an offer. Not with how abrasive he was with Saeyong before. Now he just wants to see where they go with their opening up to each other. "l think it will be fine. She might already be cross with you by association. I took your advice when you came to visit last time. I had to talk to her about staying home to look after Atlas for a few days. She offered to come by and help but I said there was no need since my boyfriend, the gentleman who was with me at the library, was on his way. I don't think she took that well when she said I never mentioned having a boyfriend. I reminded her that it was unprofessional to discuss my love life with my boss and then I made an excuse to get off the phone." When he returns to work in a few more days, he'll probably never hear the end of it. Hopefully they don't make his life too hard.
As the brothers become flustered and find a way to bicker again, Avi reaches over to give Sae's thigh a soft squeeze as he tries to look interested in what they are arguing about. He's not sure if this familial situation is still making the man uncomfortable, so he wants him to know that he's there and could provide the man an escape if needed.

Saeyong was more than happy that he could spend time with Avi, they had their differences but it was nice in a way. He found it nicer than he imagined. Meeting him for the first time, he was fascinated by his power sure, but was a little uncertain about his views towards him. They had drastically different lifestyles, where one could blend in with crowds and socialize while the other found it difficult to be around them. Though, despite that, he wanted to excuse himself from the social light and step back to see different hues of the man and he was so glad he did. He wasn't in a pleasant mood in a long time as he was with him and he was already looking forward to more.
Especially with the offer now to keep this going, he found himself a little excited himself and looking forward to it. Even if it meant he'd have to crack out of his shell. "She seems like a pain already." he teased, pursing his lips to hold a smile back as he caught his gaze when he heard the word boyfriend. Sure he suggested it, but recalling how upset he seemed at the thought before. Now, his grin did grow from ear to ear. "Well then, maybe your boyfriend should drop by at work when you have to see her, just to make sure she knows her place." he teased with a playful wink. Honestly, he would just love to rub it in to her face, something he definitely got a kick out of when he helped out other colleagues or friends with.
Saeyong wrapped an arm around his when he'd squeeze his thigh, leaning against it and rest his head against his shoulder. While he didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable with the subtle display of affection, he wanted to also assure the man that he was quite alright watching everything progress. He liked the bickering, it felt good, maybe something he missed from his own family - but he could easily live without them now. This was definitely a good middle ground for him.

tab ʟσcαтισɴ : Hσme | cσмραɴץ : Saeyong, Masumi, and my brothers | ғєєʟιɴɢ : concerned but incredibly happy | тнσυɢнтs : "I hope Cas takes care of himself…." | ʀєsιםєɴcє : 1513 Lumiere Housing District | ρʀσғιʟє : Here
σccυραтισɴ : Soleil Librarian | sтαтυs : Complicated | συтғιт: : Casual clothes for once | σσc : Avi is his usual color, Masumi is this color, Marcellus is this color, and Castielle is this color.
He probably should have, and would have, told Sae sooner about him dropping that bomb on his boss. But in defense, he's had a lot going on so it slipped his mind. At least it seems like Sae took it well with his wide grin. He can already envision the man tormenting his coworker and boss the next time he visits while Avi is working. It would definitely be a completely different situation to their first meeting. Though he hates his ability and the fact that using it provides him some relief, he's glad that he let that drive him into keeping contact with Saeyong initially. What started as a hesitant connection has become something that makes him feel comfortable and connected to someone in a way he's not had the luxury of before. Being able to touch someone without fear is more freeing than he had ever thought. His brothers getting the tech to do the same was just an added bonus. Now he can horseplay with them without a care, or comfort them if they ever need it.
"l am sure both her and my coworker will be elated to see you." With their gossiping nature, it's no doubt the reveal of his relationship status will spread throughout any troublesome staff willing to listen. It shouldn't matter if or whom he is dating, but it does so he will milk it as much as he can. It helps that he and Saeyong are touching more familiarly and comfortably now that Avi’s defensive nature has gone down with him. It's nice to look forward to visits from the man where he will be flirty and Avi would actually WANT to reciprocate. "Since I have been here, I have only met one woman who was pleasant and respectful." Theute girl helped him a lot when he first went to the pet shop and fell in love with Atlas tye rescue bird in need of aid.
He probably looks pleased, if Masumi’s side eye smug look is anything to go by. Some people might find it bizarre that his ex is so supportive of him getting close to someone else, but they have to remember that they were childhood friends before they were lovers. While they can agree they are soulmates in one regard, they also agree it's not romantic in any way anymore. Avi loves Sumi, Sumi loves Avi, but neither is IN LOVE anymore. They were both just so used to how things were that it was hard to get out of their old habits for a while. Carter officially put a stop to it when he showed up and started whooing Masumi, and now Avi has his closure to move on from it as well. It's nice to have someone who knows you so intimately cheer on any relationships you might want to grow. So he doesn't dislike Saeyong moving in closer at all. He encourages it by using the distraction of Cas bickering with Marc to pull Saeyong’s chair closer to his so he put his arm around him so Sae can get more comfortable putting his head against his shoulder. ”I agree with Marc Cas. You complain about everyone being all flirty around you when you don't have someone, when Instead of having flings, you could date one of the men you were talking to.” The man huffs as he crosses his arms over his chest with a frown. ”It's not like I am not trying. When I find a guy who actually makes me feel the butterflies that Masumi said he got with you or Carter, then I will date him. Until then, there is nothing wrong with me enjoying myself. It's not like it's easy to find someone you are compatible with.” Both Avi and Masumi raise a brow, making him give an affronted noise. ”You two don't count! You grew up together and then somehow you just had two hotties fall right into your laps the minute you guys decide to break up officially.” Masumi opens his mouth to speak but Cas shushes him, making Avi chuckle as he plays with Sae’s hair while he has his head on Avi's shoulder. ”What about that Spencer guy? You were gushing about his date ideas and how much fun you guys had.” Castielle’s face scrunches up in disgust as he stabs a piece of meat aggressively and makes Marcellus wait for him to chew angrily and swallow. ”And you…slept with each one regardless?” Cas shrugs, making Avi look even more shocked about the situation. After some silence however, Avi sighs. ”Well, at least you were consenting and safe. I have no judgment on your choice in partners as long as you look after yourself. That is what's important.” Though Marc doesn't look like he agrees, Masumi sides with Avi's sentiment and Cas visibly perks up while looking touched. He probably expected some harsh judgment from the man and was pleasantly surprised to have his brother's support in his choices. ”I'm careful, I promise. I always background check anyone I consider dating and I don't put myself in situations where I have no control over what happens.”

Saeyong didn't mind the bomb one bit, he would drop the word around from time to time, or hints towards it when he was joking and trying to get under the man's nerves. But, he sure grew past just wanting to tease him or get something from his ability. He found himself genuinely enjoying the feeling of being around him and would find himself looking forward to more. He liked him more than anyone he could think of - that was a good start. Or maybe he already felt like he did more than that. "They'll have to get used to seeing me more often." he winked, implying he wouldn't be alone at work more often now. If they had a problem, he had ways to make them look bad without compromising Avi's status, though gossip was something he wouldn't be able to stop. But like he always believed, what ever you do, they'll talk about you. So why not control the narrative?
"Well that is indeed very unfortunate." he said with a little frown, "Don't worry though, your boyfriend will protect you," he said with a playful wink, emphasis on the title. While his approval alone was all he needed, he did like that the others didn't seem to mind him as much as he imagined. While it was unusual for him to see a supportive ex, he did find it refreshing now that he saw his stance in the matter. Not some spiteful jealousy.
Saeyong didn't mind being pulled closer, he watches the others while he learns a little something about them and remains against Avi's arm. He would have distracted him by complementing how fit he was, but decided against it so he could listen to them while they spoke. Though, he did find it intriguing that he could say something to the troubled one. He let the man speak and listened to the various individuals he listed out with not a good taste in his mouth while leaning into Avi's fingers when they'd find his hair. "If I may say though, as one who has had such adventures before, you could look at the pattern in the way they behave to rule out potential disappointments." he said. While he did feel like knowing he was rather adventurous himself might be off-putting, he did try and put himself out there, not just because everyone was concerned about the man and felt the need to help him make better choices. Maybe in some way, his own experiences would show some level of understanding. "Butterflies don't always come, but it might just be the feeling that you want to open up to someone more than you would normally, or mellow down to match their energy, see them more often. Maybe they happen when you least expect it, especially when they laugh openly." he'd say, slowly now directing his attention to Avi, the cause of said butterflies for himself and everything he just listed.
