Nah, just a stray, but does that matter? If things go well, this friend of mine tails me he might adopt him. A furever home for this cat is at stake! So, shampoo?
[ so you know what it is. it's fucking international cat day and souji fully intends on celebrating it properly, even if he's not in his own body. it really is unfortunate that he's not in his own body because once he puts on the body pillow cover with his cat drawn on it, it's really too big on him. it honestly looks like this and that's not an exaggeration at all. souji wears some shorts under the pillow cover but it looks like he's not wearing anything at all like this. he does have the common sense to wear flip flops though so that's something ]
[ and... yeah, that's how he decides to celebrate this wonderful day: by going around the city in a body pillow. no one can see his face like this so elliot has nothing to worry about so it's all good. hahaha what a good day. ]
[ You're making him hot just looking at you, mysterious stranger who may or may not be Elliot. Follow Minato's example, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, carrying a bag of popsicles and also a packet of straws because this is going to be sugar water by the time he gets home. ]
[ He recognizes that voice, Elliot. Which means no pulling punches when it comes to """jokes""" Elliot's supposed to be able to differentiate from sincerity by now. ]
Yeah. Today's the day hell descends upon us.
[ -—Actually, maybe it's a good thing he ran into Elliot. ]
[Tatsuma had always been the awkward sort. But, little by little, the longer he dated Souji, the more he worked to overcome that. It showed; little touches and signs of affection even when unprompted, less shy with each try.
But since the end of September... it's like so much of that has been lost. He still gives a smile when spoken to, still carries that inherent sweetness in his actions, but there's no denying he's been distant as of late.
He's like that now, idly petting Cream-san with one hand as he stares at nothing in particular, turning the same thought over and over in his head like doing so might finally provide a solution to the question that's been haunting him all this time.
[ souji has noticed that something was off about tatsuma for a few days now but he didn't dig into it. he figured that maybe tatsuma just had an off day or maybe he's just tired. after all, the past month hasn't exactly been easy for everyone but when this strange mood and distant behaviour passed into october, souji knew that it wasn't just nothing. moments of silence aren't that uncommon between them, considering how quiet tatsuma can be, but they never last this long. ]
[ so while tatsuma sits with cream-san, souji takes the seat next to him on the couch and playfully nudges him with his shoulder. ]
[ ah, memories. well, those come up pretty often. as members of retrospec, it's pretty much unavoidable to receive some unpleasant memories now and then so souji understands immediately. ]
Do you want to talk about it?
[ souji offers a choice, not wanting to push tatsuma if he doesn't want to talk about it but at the same time, he wants to help him deal with whatever he remembered. ]
[ this message takes a minute before it gets sent. ]
The woods. From the entrance, follow the path until you see a tree completely covered in moss on your right. Go off the path and head in the opposite direction of that tree until you come across two large rocks perched against each other.
