[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

[hurrayformarriage]

While yer thinkin' bout it, ya can start packin' yer bags.

[Oda, completely unsurprised by the thought that Ango may not have ever taken a vacation.]

[kanri]

[he has! it was just...]

Years ago, to be frank.

[he sighs, knowing that it's not a good answer, but it's the truth.]

There's no time to pack any bags.

[hurrayformarriage]

Eh, you wanna just go without bringin' any stuff?

[so wild and reckless, ango!!]

[kanri]

I can't go on vacation, Oda. I'm barely on top of things as it is.

[where would they even go? he refuses.]

[hurrayformarriage]

There's no way yer ever gonna be on top of things, in yer kinda job.

[People just keep making new problems.]

[kanri]

So what does that say about a vacation?

[impossible.]

[hurrayformarriage]

That ya gotta take one even if it ain't all hunky-dory!

[kanri]

No! Everything would likely all go to hell in my absence!

[is he just overly tense? yes.]

[hurrayformarriage]

Ango...

[Grabs his hands to give them a squeeze.]

Everybody's gotta take breaks sometime.

[kanri]

[the physical contact helps, and he's able to take a deep breath, curling his hands around Oda's.]

...I'd like to go. I'm just nervous that something will happen. This city is never quiet enough to relax in.

[there. there's the real truth, which is easier to work with.]

[hurrayformarriage]

Yer coworkers can take care of things for a weekend. Some of them go on vacation and the world don't end, yeah?

[Ango deserves at least that much relaxation.]

[kanri]

[he nods, because that's right - they do take their time off.]

Where, though? The way you talk, it sounds like you had a place in mind.

[hurrayformarriage]

Where else? Osaka!

[also water is wet]

[kanri]

[he smiles a little, and takes another deep breath to help himself say what he's going to.]

Okay. One weekend. I certainly have the time off saved up.

[hurrayformarriage]

[Hope Ango's ready for a delighted hug, because that's what he's getting now.]

[kanri]

[he was expecting something like this, and sinks into the hug, arms automatically wrapping around Oda.]

When do you want to go?

[hurrayformarriage]

Whenever ya want! Or this weekend.

[In case Ango does not want to go ever.]

[kanri]

This weekend is tomorrow.

[technically in a few hours when he gets off.]

[hurrayformarriage]

Sure is.

[he doesn't see the problem?]

[kanri]

Were you planning on just stealing me out of the office or something?

[hurrayformarriage]

Sometimes a man's gotta take drastic measures, Ango.

[so. yeah, maybe.]

[kanri]

...go on then.

[steal him. he hasn't lost all of his impulsivity and recklessness because he wears a suit. sometimes he is undoubtedly Ango.]

[hurrayformarriage]

[Oda loves when Ango gets a chance to show that. When it's not buried under seven layers of anxiety and guilt.

Permission granted, he scoops Ango up in a princess carry. He can't do this for long - even if he's stronger than he was, he's still weaker than the rest of the authors - and he's gonna be sore as hell later, but it's absolutely worth it to try to carry Ango right out of his office.]

[kanri]

[automatically, his arms go up to cling around Oda's neck, and he knows that his coworkers know that to breathe a hint of whatever they see will be met with ungodly amounts of work in reply. being the boss in some respects works out, especially when your boyfriend insists on disregarding work hours.]

Hey, you don't have to-!

[and yet, underneath, because of the look in his eyes, Oda will know the true meaning of his words is that he's having fun. that he's fine - he'd say something if he wasn't. at least he can cart him out of the office itself.]

[hurrayformarriage]

[At least some of his coworkers are probably grateful for Oda trying to relieve Ango's stress so he doesn't take it out on them. Or they just think seeing him embarrassed is funny.

Once they're out the front door, Oda will set Ango down on his feet - that's about as far as he can expect his strength to last anyway, and he wouldn't want to embarrass Ango in front of total strangers.]

How'd I do for a first-time kidnappin'?
