[Closed]

[wherethewildthingsare]

WHO: Ichirou and Marcell
WHERE: The Park
WHEN: Lunch, June 11th
WHAT: Lunch Date
WARNINGS: Language perhaps?



[It didn't take them very long to fall into a routine once they had arrived to the city. Of course, considering Ichirou's schedule they couldn't always meet, but when he worked in the day, well...

It was going to be pretty hard to keep them apart. And so they met for lunch, at the park, at a table. The same park table, every time. To eat and generally enjoy one another's company during the short break the two of them had each day.]

[ For once this is the one day Marcell is actually free, since he closes shop on Sunday, but it's true that he otherwise works the other 6 days of the week for like...what, nine hours a day? And he's made sure to lovingly make lunch for the husband every day he can, so.

When Ichirou arrives Marcell is already at the table, waving at him. ]

Afternoon, dear.

[wherethewildthingsare]

Sorry I'm late.

I've been trying to find something to, y'know.

Fix the blue.

[He's sitting down across from them.]

[fairhands]

Is there really a way to fix it?

[Not that he doesn't want the colours blue and green to come back, it's just hard to imagine a way to fix the situation.]

Anyway,how was work?

[wherethewildthingsare]

I hope so. Someone specifically remove them.

[He's unpacking lunch.]

It's fine. Nothing major lately..little bits of fraud here and there.

[fairhands]

Any leads, then?

[ He's also unpacking his lunch. ]

[wherethewildthingsare]

Well.


...No.


Some people had their eyes stay blue, but...they didn't always have blue eyes.

[He sighs a little, unwrapping his own. He's starting with vegetables, to make Marcell happy.]

[fairhands]

[ He's so proud of you, Ichirou.

(Ichirou also knows that Marcell would make faces at him if he didn't touch his veggies in a reasonable amount of time.) ]

Hm? What do you mean?

[wherethewildthingsare]

Their eyes changed color.

But only after they got the Retrospec app.

[fairhands]

...It seems like after getting that app, all sorts of strange things have been happening.

[wherethewildthingsare]

Apparently they've been happening and you just don't realize without the app.

[fairhands]

...W-wait, so you mean we could have been oblivious this entire time?

[wherethewildthingsare]

Not 'could have been', we were.

If you don't have the app you don't notice.

We wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong with being shrunken last month.

[fairhands]

[ Give him a moment, he's kind of having that awful realisation that at one point he would have been okay with silly dancing fruits. ]

...God.

[wherethewildthingsare]

It's a real pain in the ass.

[fairhands]

Yukine messaged me the other day, you know? Even photographs don't have blue or green anymore.

[ He sighs. ]

...I bet it'll be the same for the sea, too.

[wherethewildthingsare]

...Yeah, that'll be the same.

Man, that's...

Geeze.

[fairhands]

If we tried to have a date by the seaside again it wouldn't be the same.

[ Wait, 'again'? ]

[wherethewildthingsare]

...

Wwheen was this, again.

[He's trying not to be weird, but...]

[fairhands]

After we started dating.

[Like, maybe a few weeks? He remember it pretty clearly...]

[wherethewildthingsare]

....

[He's looking extremely confused, now.]

You're sure?

[fairhands]

I...I'm sure.

[Though the fact that Ichirou is expressing doubt is making him start to doubt as well. But he remembers it so clearly, so why...he can't just be making this up in his own head, right?]

[wherethewildthingsare]

....

I can't remember it at all.

[He's actually really ashamed.]

[fairhands]

...Maybe I'm misremembering.

[ He doesn't want Ichirou to feel bad or guilty about it, for one. Besides, now he isn't so sure if he's remembering things right himself. ]

[wherethewildthingsare]

Hmph..I feel like you would have remembered better than me...

[fairhands]

Even I slip up sometimes too, dear.

[wherethewildthingsare]

That's a very odd thing to not remember...

[He pouts a little.]

We'll just have to go again, when the color is back.

[fairhands]

...It'll be nice, yes.

[ Besides, when was the last time they went out of the way to somewhere nice for a date? ]

[wherethewildthingsare]

...I promise I won't forget, okay.

[fairhands]

Haha, I know you won't.

[ Ichirou wouldn't forget about this, he's sure. ]

[wherethewildthingsare]

[He's gonna make a note to himself.]


...If anything weird happens, tell me, okay?

Stuff with you, I mean.

[fairhands]

I promise I will, dear.

[ It's not like he can really hide things from Ichirou, anyway. ]

[wherethewildthingsare]

..Anything, okay?

Some weird stuff is happening, so...

[fairhands]

What kind of weird stuff?

[wherethewildthingsare]

Eyes changing colors... remembering odd things that don't make sense...

I'm just a little worried.

[fairhands]

...Promise me you'll tell me if strange things are happening to you too, alright?

[wherethewildthingsare]

Of course.

[fairhands]

[He gestures at Ichirou to come a little closer.]

[wherethewildthingsare]

[He does, scooting over to them a bit meekly.]

Yes?

[fairhands]

[ He'll give the husband a small kiss on the cheek. ]

Thank you.

[wherethewildthingsare]

Is everything well at work?

Considering selling off your stock of tiny dresses to doll makers?

[fairhands]

As well as it can be, anyway.

...Are there doll makers who buy that?
