What are you doing?

[ WHAT IS HAPPENING

is Jason just going to wash his single plate. ]

[unrecked]

[He is washing whatever is here and dirty. Shut up.]

Cleaning up.

[malewife]

[ WELL. HE CAN’T COMPLAIN. Fortunately, Joonghyuk practices the art of cleaning up while also cooking. Not much of a mess left. ]

We can leave it to staff, you know.

[unrecked]

I'm not a little bitch. I can wash my own dishes.

[Hmph.]

[malewife]

I never said you are.

[ JASon. ]

Do you live on your own now?

[unrecked]

[Stop. He's rowdy. He has a smart mouth which is half his problem. But he can clean dishes well.]

Hate to break it to you, pal, but I've lived on my own since I was about thirteen until I stayed with some single, rich guy for maybe half a year before dying.

[malewife]

[ UH. WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT? WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING FROM HIM?

actually, fuck it ]

What do you want from me?

[ WHY DO YOU KEEP BEING A SHIT TO HIM ]

[unrecked]

[Enjoy.

He glances at Joonghyuk, making a weird face.] Who said I wanted anything? [The furrowed brows ease.] I don't want anything.

[He goes back to washing dishes.]

I lived with my parents until my dad went to jail. Then I lived with my mom until she overdosed. Or that's what I thought at the time. When I came back after I died, I lived on my own.

[malewife]

[ You’re so annoying.

He makes a weird face back at him and his tail lashes back and forth. Brat. ]

You always end up telling me too much.

[ But he doesn’t sound angry about that. ]

[unrecked]

Because I know you won’t give a shit.

[Which is true on Jason’s part, though he does not think this as if Joonghyuk doesn’t care in general. He just knows no matter how terrible it is, Joonghyuk won’t try to pat his ass and give him pity.

Which he appreciates.]

[malewife]

[ Stop being right. He doesn't like it. Also, predictably: ]

Pity and sympathy doesn't help or save anyone.

[ don't ask why he's asking things at all don't perceive ]

[unrecked]

[Yeah, see. He was right. He does not lord it over Joonghyuk even if he should.]

I know. It’s why I do what I do.

[malewife]

[ he should and see what he gets ]

It's why you're obnoxious and rowdy. [ Dunks him. ] When you're done, I want to see what you can do.

[ As in... fight. ]

[unrecked]

[Another tail pull, probably. No thanks.]

Yeah, okay.

[He sounds extremely obnoxious and rowdy saying this. But the next part makes him stop and look over his shoulder, surprised.]

...You serious?

[malewife]

[ Would a tail pat be better. Joonghyuk’s own tail sways, but his ears stay pointed and facing forward. ]

Why would I be joking?

[unrecked]

[He gives Joonghyuk a once-over, then turns away to finish what he's doing.]

Fine, if you want to get beat so bad. Hold your horses.

[HE'S LIKE... half joking and half being overly cocky for no reason than to get under Joonghyuk's skin.]

[malewife]

[ Glowers at him from here, like he's boring holes into Jason's back with his glare alone. ]

[unrecked]

[He can feel them, but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. Maybe he's used to being looked at this way in silence..........

Finally, he turns around, finished. He thinks about shaking his hands off at Joonghyuk... but he resists. He dries them off instead.]

Finished.

[malewife]

[ stop projecting your bat dad onto him, jason. if you're going to misbehave you might as well misbehave all the way?

Joonghyuk continues to leer at him for another moment before going. Niah is just chewing on bones, but he puts it into one of the small trash containers before he follows. They can go to the dojo!

and essentially just beat each other up ]

[unrecked]

[Unfortunately, Jason has a great time because he likes fighting and it’s also good stress relief for him.
