[HEY YEAH SO CORRIN

While you're in Hoshido and finding out about the family you never knew you had ~~and will eventually kill~~, there's a random Hoshido citizen there! One who is like all the other people there, except he's got pointy ears like Corrin does.

Something he notices right away. And it's something that draws him right towards Corrin, because he thought he knew everyone in his very small community of 'people who aren't quite fully human.'

The question is, how does Corrin feel about this strange guy tailing him as he goes about his day?]

[If there's one thing Stein and Shiro have gotten very good at since graduating high school (and honestly, even before), it's putting up with Mephisto's bullshit.

This though... this is a new level of "this damn demon is obviously a voyeur".]

Well, dear, what do you think? [Stein asks, looming behind Shiro while they stand in the front hall of the inn, deliberately choosing his words to make the "romantic relationship" clear.

The woman who'd greeted them seems surprisingly unbothered by this, and more bothered by the general existence of the giant foreigner standing in her doorway.n It's a reaction Stein's used to by now.]

[It's a cute inn, at the very least. Large grounds, hot springs, a nice dining area, and all the amenities you would expect for a 'romantic getaway'. It was the sort of place Shiro had thought about going to, but never really had the reason to. 'Lovey-dovey' didn't really describe what he and Stein had, even if they had been unofficially together for years at that point.

But hey. If that damn weaboo demon wanted a show, he would get a show. And if they got to kill a few demons living in some of the abandoned rooms, then all the better.

So of course Shiro was playing it up too, even moreso than he did in those moments of 'I'm being flirty for a reason~' that he had sometimes. After all, they were a newlywed couple on their honeymoon, not a team of exorcists there to work. So he leaned in and threaded his fingers in with Stein's, rubbing his thumb over Stein's knuckle.]

I think it looks great. You know how much I love a good hot springs.

[Then, he used his free hand to cup the side of his mouth and stage-whisper to the woman who had greeted them:]

Almost as much as I love him.

[Playing up the sap indeed.]

[Stein laughs, leaning against Shiro as he stage-whispers. This is a hell of a lot more affectionate than he usually is, and more than he's comfortable with. Flirtation is fine, something a little sharp and interested, but this is too gentle, there aren't low words and a smiling flash of teeth.]

We'd really like a room somewhere private, [he says, moving his arm so it's draped sort of over Shiro's shoulders, still holding onto that hand so he can pull the smaller man close.] We wouldn't want to disturb your other guests.

[The woman looks more than a little embarrassed, especially since Shiro is giving her a wink at that comment. Of course, any shouting coming from their room is probably going to be them shouting fatal verses, but nobody needs to know that. Let them assume the happily married couple is happy indeed.

The private room was a good call too, because it put them near the supposedly haunted rooms. Just around a corner and down two more doors, and they would be there. Perfect access late at night.

Once they're dropped off by their guide and left for some privacy for the time being, Shiro sets about checking their room for any signs of tampering. All of the rooms with strange happenings in them are in the northernmost hall at the back of the inn, but that hall shares a courtyard with the room they're in, so the infestation could have spread a bit.]

Stash the gear in the futon closet, maybe? Nobody's gonna be looking in there, especially if we put out the 'do not disturb' sign.

[Nobody wants to walk in on a naked couple after all.]

[Stein stashes the gear, also inspecting for signs of demonic activity. Nothing so far, just futons too short for him (as usual).]

Were you planning on putting up that sign already, senpai? [And there's the usual grin, back again after now that they're alone.]

[That's okay, when they're spooning Stein is all curled up anyway, he'll fit on it.

And Shiro will go ahead and grin back at Stein.]

Of course. I can't let them walk in on my absolutely ravishing husband in a state of undress, now can I?

[yyyep he's still cheesing it a bit. Or is he? It's hard to tell when there's not a crowd to put a show on for.]

I don't think we have to worry about anyone coming to check in on us for a while, after that little show we put on. [Stein says, then steps closer to Shiro. If they're going to keep playing this game, Stein isn't going to be the one to back down first.]

I've heard the demons here prefer showing themselves at night, so we have a few hours before we need to get to work.

[The mistake there is that Shiro won't be the one to back down either. He's just grinning up at Stein, leaning casually against the wall support right there.]

You know, I think you're right. How will we keep ourselves busy until then hmm~?

Oh, I think we can come up with something. [Stein says, stepping closer and reaching out a hand to toy with Shiro's buttons.]

After all, we are on our honeymoon.

[Stein is obscenely tall compared to Shiro, so much so that he normally has to stand on his tippy-toes to sneak kisses. But that kind of a move would not be suave at all, and he's trying to play up the suave-ness. So instead of stretching himself up, he'll reach up and cup one of his hands around the back of Stein's head, gently trying to pull him down to his height.]

And if anybody happened to be peeking in, then they only have themselves to blame for seeing things they might not want to see.

[Most people aren't that nosy, but these two losers happen to work for someone who IS.]

[Diarmuid could be called a curious soul. He's also occasionally a trouble maker, but he still does have some honor to his body. But every time he's near Rin, he can't help but be curious about his boyfriend's cute little tail.

So, one day, while Rin is in front of him, he goes up behind him and gives that tail a light slow rub going downwards. Just to see what it would do.]

[also what if i want meph's tail to get pulled this time huh]

Hey, Okumura-kun, I have a question for you!

[And, obligingly, Stein lets himself be pulled down. Shiro taking the lead isn't unusual at all, and it never stops being intensely thrilling.

Stein leans in, close enough to feel Shiro's breath against his lips.]

I can't imagine anyone wanting to look in on us. [Other than Mephisto.]

What do you think they'd expect to see?

mmm...

[He's going to steal a quick kiss before responding to that.]

Well, I am quite talented with my mouth. I bet they wouldn't be surprised by me putting that to good use.

[And then there's another, longer kiss this time. Shiro loves doing all sorts of things with Stein, but kissing is one of his favorites. He'll never get tired of it.]

[Well I mean. Normally if anyone's touching his tail it's to yank on it, which is pretty painful and just gets a yell from him.

This, however. This is something new. And he can't stop the shiver that runs up his spine in a very visible manner. That, combined with how beet-red he goes, is probably a good indication of what just happened there.

Then he's trying to swat Diarmuid's hand away.]

Don't touch that!

[Oh look it's Shima.]

Yeah? What's up?

How sensitive is that tail of yours anyway?

[It's been three days since they ran away, and the pair are hiding out in a small town in the countryside. No place seems particularly safe right now, not with so many people hunting then down, but it's probably safer than any big city. At least out here there's less of a chance of being recorded.

And really, Shiro knows he should stay inside. The less he's out and about, the less he's likely to draw attention. Even with these clothes he has now (just a t-shirt, jeans, underclothes, and shoes, all purchased at a secondhand store the day before), he still sticks out like a sore thumb. Albinism is pretty rare, and Shiro has a very distinctive look about him. One that the right (or, depending on how you look at it, wrong) people will recognize right away.

But he can't help it. He's never been outside before. He's never seen the sky before. He's never felt the wind against his skin or heard the songs of birds as they fly by. He's never felt grass beneath his toes. And now that he can do all that and more, he absolutely is enjoying those little things. All of this still feels like a dream that could end at any moment, but these sights and sounds help ground him and confirm that this is all real.

So Stein will be able to find Shiro laying in the grass outside of the little cabin they took over, laying on the grass and looking up at the sky. He's not doing anything particularly meaningful, just watching the clouds roll by. But hey, he might be up for talking, after three days of relative silence.]

[Well, let's find out!

It's afternoon and Shiro's dodging work again, which means hanging out in Mephisto's office and bothering him. But this time, he picks up a brush he finds on a dresser somewhere.]

Just how many hair brushes do you have? You can't be that prissy.

How sensitive?

[He thinks about that for a moment.]

A bit? I mean, I can feel it when I brush the fur.

[Which he has to, because that shit knots up.]

[ nods nods ] You had to hide it for a while, what did that feel like?

A little itchy, actually. That's why I keep it out now, it's not worth hiding.
