-> take it for that. There's going to be another full moon soon to figure some of that out, anyhow.

I might have been anxiously wringing my hands before, but Kyoya Hayashi.'s kiss easily corrects that. I know what to do. Framing his face, the kiss is returned with the same fervor and drive. 'Just like us...' He said that. "I think so..." Lock in place and ->

-> all the candies from our tip in hand, I bite my bottom lip. Up on toes, I steal another kiss-- just as soft and as sweet. "Don't go distant once we're back there. Please." I don't ask. I state it. Asking, gives Kyoya Hayashi. more of an option and I can't afford ->

-> that. I don't want to go back to Kyoya Hayashi. /just/ being a sire and a teacher. Not after today. The statement comes in due time, too, because before anything can be said about it-- both phones buzz. #Kyoya's and mine. Quick to swipe the screen and quicker to ->

-> tint red for being the reason that Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. and Hikaru Titachin worry, I don't hesitate to assure #Hika that we're okay, in town, but just about to be on our way back to them. "We come bearing gifts!" It's the last of my messages, and I say it solely for the hopes ->

-> if I need a bribe, then it'll be it and Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. and Hikaru Titachin will be too distracted by what it might be to be mad for our cutting out and putting space between us.

[[Time lapse.]] Picking myself up and out of the taxi that Kyoya Hayashi. managed to hail, we seriously pick apart crumpled bills and leftover change to pay. That's the thing. We only came out with so much cash, and worse, we have less Italian currency ->

-> then we have American dollars. We'll need to exchange a little more since our stay continues to outlast what the original stent might've projected. It's /fine/. I still have quite the stash from what I brought when I invited myself along to learn about what I've ->

-> become since being bitten by Kyoya Hayashi.. (Tack on the occasional job or clever trick of Korey "Lover Boy" Volk.'s, and we're set-- we just have to have a little more that's of this country and not my native one.) If /that/ didn't given Hikaru Titachin and our alpha ->

-> an extra five and they still aren't dressed...well, that's on them! Keeping at least six inches between Kyoya Hayashi. an myself, I do know one thing-- I'm not sure how we're going to broach the topic of #Kyo's and my evening, so...maybe we just won't speak on ->

-> it at all. I've since decided that apart from all the prodding and how Kyoya Hayashi. is so carefully watched we-- he-- deserves this one thing that we can continue to feel out for as long as he needs... "Down to the last pence, but we did it." Knocking elbows with ->

-> Kyoya Hayashi. on the walk to the room's door, I smile gently as my expression reclaims some of the sass I usually harbor when seen with #Kyoya. Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. and Hikaru Titachin are use to it.

Sometimes, I hate how Kyoya Hayashi. gets away with being a literal ghost. I understand to an extent. Clearly, I'm the newcomer and he isn't. There are things that Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. and Hikaru Titachin expect from #Kyoya and that leaves /me/ being the one looked to for ->

-> answers-- or at least looked to for something witty or some update. "The most important this is we didn't kill one another." Said when placing the bags on a table betwixt my alpha and his beau, I nod for it. "The second important thing is that the stick up #Kyo's ->

-> arse might've broke loose, because instead of being a rigid and ridiculously formal teacher, he helped me get through my anxiety and allowed me to have /fun/. We bought candies from a shop in town." There. It covers the bases, right? I've damned Kyoya Hayashi. by ->

-> name like they're used to and I've recounted loosely what was done and why we have what we do. I don't know how easy it is to lie to Korey "Lover Boy" Volk. and Hikaru Titachin, but I perfected lying to my parents once upon a time. My hope is that a pokerface and ->

-> even tone can do the same for me now as it did then. It's my heart that betrays me and a quick side-glance to Kyoya Hayashi. that might give me away. Just because I'm keeping things under wraps, doesn't mean I regret the kissing or really mean anything by ->

-> talking Kyoya Hayashi. up to be some horrible influence and bore.

REMEMBER WHEN Kyoya Hayashi. FRIGGIN' BIT ME?!
