[ does jyuto want the fridge? based on that, he's pretty sure his furry little glutton wants a little bit of everything and then some -- and, afraid that jyuto might fall over and down (it's a long way down, baby), he simply scoops him up again and takes him to the fridge, opening to where he keeps his fruit on the shelves. ]

Mmm, more?

[ Kogami is so receptive, he makes things too easy for Jyuto. Not being able talk seemed as if it'd pose far more of an obstacle than it actually does, and Jyuto rides along in the nook of Kogami's arm, settling against him as the fridge door is opened, its contents presented. It's amusing— like this, he feels spoiled and almost kingly, despite his rabbit shape. He's definitely going to have to poke some fun at Kogami for this when he's able to, a vessel to his bunny majesty.

His eyes follow along the shelves for grapes. In specific, he's craving some green ones, so when he happens to spot some, his ears perk forward in excitement. Quickly, he looks between Kogami and the grapes insistently, hoping he'll catch on without him having to wiggle his paws or getting too showy about it. Pull through, Kogami. So observant, after all! ]

[ but of course, kogami isn't the type to make things easy for jyuto for long -- this is a large part of why they work, that kogami isn't the type to be overly predictable for a long time. and really, what's the point of carrying his bunny around if he can't tease him? ]

Hmmm?

[ it's so fascinating to see how excited he is, and he gives jyuto a little jiggle, pretending not to notice. ]

What is it? More vegetables?

[ Jyuto looks at him, fucking offended. For a moment he can't tell if Kogami is not meeting Jyuto's expectations, if he's actually less intelligent and insightful than he'd assumed he'd be. After a moment of studying his face, though, he realizes that Kogami is only feigning an inability to discern what it is he wants from the fridge. He makes a convincing actor.

Jyuto's ears flatten again and he squirms around in Kogami's arm like an unhappy baby when he's jiggled. No, not more vegetables! He scrapes his little nails against the side of Kogami's rib, digging at it as if he's trying to burrow in and punish him for his sass though it far from hurts enough to draw blood. ]

[ jyuto is so adorable when he's affronted, and kogami laughs when he squirms around to scratch him with those tiny paws, and he reaches in to pluck a single grape for him, holding it just a little out of reach. ]

Or is this it?

[ a juicy, plump grape, perfectly round and perfect for a rabbit's sweet tooth. ]

[ Is this how rabbits always see grapes? Jyuto stops what he's doing almost immediately when the sweet, fruity fragrance wafts and brushes his bunny nose. Sniffing and distracted from continuing Kogami's punishment, he eyeballs the grape, its heavenly shape and plump form an ambrosia to his current state of physicality. Very interested in it, he looks at Kogami and back to the grape, long ears springing back forward and mouth parting so that his front teeth, white and strangely taken care of, peek through the gap.

He wants the grape, yes... please feed him that grape. ]

Hmmm.

[ kogami makes a soft, thoughtful little noise, keeping him tucked in the crook of his arm before peeling off a small bit for jyuto's excited questing. it's less than a fifth of it, and he decides to feed it to him with forefinger and thumb. ]

Don't bite me.

[ Pleased with this development, Jyuto passes Kogami another look with eyes that are more affectionate. He doesn't have speech, but he hopes Kogami will be able to pick up that he's content. Trying to make his feelings clearer, he chins against Kogami's wrist before he accepts the grape offered to him between the two fingers. A small bunny tongue licks at the juice and pulls the piece into his mouth with a conscious attempt not to bite him. These type of teeth are strange to manage— he's never had buckteeth so tall. Jyuto proceeds to chew the bite of fruit, spoiled and pampered, and then waits to be fed another. The life, honestly. He wonders if he can rope Kogami into doing this for him while he's human, too. ]

No. Proper breakfast first.

[ kogami gently puts jyuto down on the dining table now, charmed by that dainty eating and the strange soothing sounds of the rabbit chewing. still holding most of the grape, he picks up two small plates, setting the grape on one, and taking the head of broccoli, as well as the cabbage and baby carrot to make a small meal for him.

he definitely could feed jyuto like this sometime when he's human, really. it's domestic and lazy, what he does for jyuto now, and he presents him with the small plate of vegetables, grape parked on the opposite prep counter. ]

[ Oh— no more. Kogami replies as if he's read his intent entirely, and Jyuto tilts his head once he's been set down on the dining table, wondering why Kogami is being so difficult a man. It's not that he's opposed to the vegetables at all, even. Jyuto's never had qualms with eating his meals in the correct order, but he can tell that Kogami's almost having too much fun getting to have this much control over him while he's stuck in this body. He feels mischievous and difficult, himself.

As Kogami sets the small dish of vegetables in front of him, he maneuvers around the arm that obstructs his view of the sexy grape across the way. He's at the edge of the table, again. The grape is a little blurry from this distance because Jyuto is nearsighted and without his glasses, but its color is a clear give away. He looks up at Kogami once, testy, and then starts to waggle his ass like a cat about to pounce, except that in this instance he's threatening to leap across the gap of floor between him and that counter space where the grape has been placed.

He's his own boss! ]

Ah -- ah!

[ kogami starts when he realises what jyuto intends to do, especially when the rabbit wiggles his butt and lowers himself like he's about to clear the space between the table and counter.

he can't clear that, probably, kogami doesn't know, but he knows that the fall will be much harder for him than before. he wiggles the vegetables before him as he sighs, picking up the plate with the grape in it.

he does love it when jyuto is being difficult, though, and he rubs his ears gently. ]

Don't make me put you on the floor.

Edited 2020-02-15 04:36 (UTC)

[ Jyuto wonders how much he can get away with. Ignoring the vegetables, he's incredibly fixated on getting Kogami to put the grape down simply because he wants to see if he can make it happen. He watches the plate held above him in contemplation. At first, he sits on his hind legs and makes himself very long and tall again, sniffing. He wants Kogami to know that he still wants the grape. Then, in a carefully calculated ploy, he flops over onto the dinner table to roll onto his back, exposing his evil but fluffy tummy up to the ceiling as Kogami strokes his velvety soft ears. Trying so hard to utilize all the cuteness he can muster, he chins again at the first knuckle of Kogami's thumb and places his little head in the palm of Kogami's hand. His back legs stretch, rabbit toes flexing and exposed. ]

[ oh...

oh, no. kogami stares down at jyuto, who has so expertly grasped the many advantages of a cute, furry little animal that even the most battle-hardened of men find difficult to resist.

he pauses, staring at the ridiculously alluring little furry belly, because he remembers how good it felt petting it and he's pretty damn sure they both know it. ]

Are you -- are you trying to cute me into getting what you want?

[ what a stupid question, of course he is, jyuto has grasped kogami's weakness and is clearly having a great time exploiting it.

and it's working, because kogami is putting the small saucer with the grape down and reaching to rub his belly. ]

[ Jyuto smirks at Kogami with his bunny eyes, head still nestled against his hand. It's funny how Kogami's perfectly aware of what Jyuto is doing to him, and yet caves to it regardless. He keeps his legs sprawled so that Kogami can pet the entirety of his belly, having learned to harness his newly attained power for selfish, selfish reasons.

Not that he'll actually act on them. It's clear now that he just wanted to assert his dominance over Kogami, because when he's finished being pet, he rolls right on over and moves over to the vegetables he'd ignored only moments before. The pride shows, puffing in the swell of his chest when he starts to munch on a baby carrot. He only waits for Kogami to realize it, the sounds of his crunching crisp and prominent in the kitchen... ]

[ this is a battle kogami will gracefully lose, if it means that jyuto lets him pet his cute little furry belly again. he doesn't even mind just how jyuto manages that smirk with just his eyes, or the fact that, after having asserted his dominance, he went straight to the vegetables.

kogami lingers near him, a full-grown man clearly unable to resist the cuteness of a rabbit digging into his saucer of food, and he's scritching him absently behind his ears. ]

How is it that you're even worse as a cute rabbit?

[ Even worse? What a compliment. Jyuto looks up from the dish while chewing more of his carrot. His eyes look like they're flattered by what Kogami's saying. Kogami is, after all, praising him to some degree, praising his ability to get people to do what he wants them to. That in itself answers the question, he thinks. Why being a cute rabbit would make things all the easier. He knows Kogami will figure out it out if he's left to think about it a moment longer, and so, he moves his attention to a leaf of cabbage, reeling it into his mouth with his teeth. Munch, munch, munch.

His ears twitch, and after remembering that Kogami hasn't had breakfast for himself he looks to him again. He doesn't mind being pet, naturally, but— Kogami? Aren't you forgetting something? Jyuto dips his head away, dodging the next rub of Kogami's fingers. Set on reminding him to eat, he picks up a bell pepper with his mouth and then tries to place it in Kogami's hand, dropping it so that it at the very least drops against his skin. ]

[ oh, he doesn't want anymore pets? kogami watches him deftly dodge, curious at the bell pepper he picks up and so adorably drops into his hand, even if it bounces off a little.

he raises his brows at him, picking it up as he examines the bell pepper. ]

You don't like it? But I thought I saw you eating it before.

[ Jyuto squints and contemplates how he can communicate that he wants Kogami to eat his own breakfast. If he shakes his head, Kogami might think he's confirming that the food tastes bad. Think harder, Kogami. Jyuto tries it again, this time taking a bite of the vegetable to show Kogami that he likes the food before dropping the rest of it close to Kogami's hand. He follows this up by scooting the rest of them closer to Kogami with his rabbit nose. It's time he helped himself to food, too! ]

[ oh! oh, that is so sweet. kogami definitely gets this one, especially when jyuto is considerate enough to take a bite of the bell pepper to show him that his initial hypothesis needs further polishing.

he smiles, then, before petting his ears and setting the vegetable back into jyuto's saucer. ]

You want me to eat with you. All right.

[ kogami's going to make his breakfast, too! coffee, toast, and butter. It takes him a few minutes, but eventually he's sitting right by jyuto, a plate of buttered toast before him and a steaming mug of coffee.

right, water. jyuto will need water, too. so he brings over a saucer of water for him as well, setting it by his vegetables. ]

You know, you're really cute as a rabbit.

[ Leave it to Kogami to pick up on the details others might gloss over. Jyuto's proud that he managed to figure it out, and sits patiently in front of his food while Kogami makes his own breakfast. After waiting politely for him to come back, he turns his body so that they're face to face, like any other time they'd eat together. Upon seeing the coffee mug, he feels a longing. Water isn't nearly as appealing in the morning. Even the pack of his cigarettes on the table... he grazes and thinks that it'd be nice to smoke right about now. The commentary from Kogami is good, because it distracts him from the withdrawal cravings that are beginning to crash down upon him, even as a rabbit.

Cute, hm? Of course Jyuto knows this. Well, unless Kogami's speaking beyond appearances. Jyuto isn't sure to what extent this compliment extends, but to show Kogami that he acknowledges the cuteness he currently possesses, he lowers himself into a little loaf, finishing off more of the vegetables with a lazy sniff. Once his meal is out of the way, he noses the prized grape towards himself and takes a large, juicy bite. It bursts beneath the skin, some pulp hanging from his chin when it does. It doesn't bother him the way it might ordinarily, and he looks over to the pack of cigarettes again, unable to forget that they're there. ]

[ look at him, that cute little loaf, and just how jyuto wields that cuteness like a weapon so expertly that kogami can't help but be impressed. the man is graceful even in this form, dainty and profoundly rabbit-like at the same time.

he notices the longing looks at the cigarette pack, and how it continues even while jyuto enthusiastically bites into his grape. turns out, even the succulent juiciness of that much-coveted grape isn't enough to thwart what is shaping up to be jyuto's nicotine craving.

that isn't new; he's always been used to smoking with jyuto after breakfast -- or just about any other time, really. reaching out to gently wipe the pulp from that furry chin, he delicately turns his cute loaf's attention back to him in his comfortably bare-chested glory. ]

Hmm. Are you craving a strawberry, too?

[ no, rabbits aren't allowed to smoke. ]

[ Jyuto seems compliant enough to let the hand turn his head. He appreciates that Kogami is handsome, that Kogami wipes the lingering grape pulp from the bottom of his mouth, and that Kogami proposes a distraction from the box of cigarettes. Still, he isn't hungry anymore, so he won't agree to a strawberry. If he overeats, his tummy may pop.

Instead of sulking over tobacco, Jyuto defeatedly hops closer to Kogami's side of the table, taking a peek into his coffee cup with his head when he's close by. He gazes at the bunny rabbit reflection that looks back up at him in the darkness of the drink. Removing his head, he sighs audibly. There are too many things he can't enjoy like this.

Kogami, take him. He periscopes to let him know that he desires to be held again. ]

[ okay, so no strawberries, that's excellent. but what's less excellent is hearing an extremely cute and small rabbit actually sigh. he's pretty sure it's not rabbitly possible, but then it's jyuto-rabbit, and so exceptions happen.

and he sympathises, too, because being denied caffeine and nicotine is about the worst thing to happen to any man. although when his imperious bunny periscopes in a signal that obviously means he wants to be swept away dramatically from all that causes him to be melancholy, kogami just gives him an amused little smile and reaches for the mug to take a sip. ]

I'm not done with my breakfast, you know. Also, I need to take photos of you.

[ Jyuto remains completely still, rabbit frame still upright and expectant. Kogami is defying him? His paws wiggle. Bunny ears turn forward more, listening for a better reason. Why does not being done with breakfast or needing to take pictures mean that he can't be held right now? Jyuto squints. He thinks Kogami just enjoys riling him up here, and after he realizes Kogami isn't going to cave, he lowers back into a sit. His nose scrunches. Wait— what's this he hears?

His communicator buzzes in bed of the other room, and Jyuto's ears angle in the corresponding direction, eyes wide. He gives Kogami and his food his butt, hopping away and towards the sound before accidentally skidding along the surface of the table because it's more slippery than anticipated. Does Kogami not hear it? Jyuto clumsily scrambles back up and periscopes again for attention, looking at Kogami in the same pose once more but this time at the end of the table close enough to the bedroom. ]

[ kogami is definitely defying him, because there's everything delightful about watching the tiny rabbit overlord try to assert his dominance over him -- and he can practically tell that the bunny is snootily almost telling him that he can carry him and have his coffee at the same time.

but then jyuto perks again, scooting over to the end of the table, and kogami instinctively knows that he isn't kidding this time -- he's obviously heard something with those big ears, and he's scooping him up into his arms now, tucking the furry little bun against his chest as he tries to listen for the sound.

oh, right. just barely, the vibrating communicator.

he goes to the bedroom to where the communicator is still buzzing, but before he answers, however, he sets jyuto carefully down, props the phone up with the pillow, and slides it so that if the video link comes on, it'll focus right on the bunny while kogami settles on the bed right beside the phone, out of the frame. ]

Hello.
