call me out v. 12.0

[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!

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'?

[kanri]

[he's embarrassed, but not so much that he wants it to stop. it's closeness - and it's Oda, so he can't be too mad.

out the front door, he's deposited back on the ground, and pushes up his glasses.]

Decent, so far. We're not in Osaka yet, so I don't consider it over.

[hurrayformarriage]

Wish I could carry you the whole way there, but I figure a train'd be easier, yeah?

[also less embarrassing.]

[kanri]

Just a little. Easier on your arms as well.

[well, he has his briefcase. that's like. a fourth of being packed.]

[hurrayformarriage]

[Oda laughs, trying not to show how self-conscious he is about that - illness, what illness, he doesn't have any of those - before reaching to take Ango's hand.]

We could keep this up all the way to Osaka if we fancied.

[kanri]

[his hand closes around Oda's as they're walking to his car.]

Is that an offer?

[it'll be easier to take his car to the train station than fussing with the bus - they're already going to be arriving in the evening, at this rate.]

[hurrayformarriage]

Sure is.

[It's probably not a good thing to drive while you're holding someone's hand and can't keep both your hands on the wheel, but it's fine? It's fine.]

[kanri]

[it's also, as they're going to find out, impossible to get in a car while holding hands when you need to be in two different seats. still, with Ango opening the door for Oda, small sacrifices must be made - and Oda's hauled him out of work early enough that driving's not terrible over there.

it also isn't a pain to get two train tickets and tuck themselves into the next one that's Osaka bound, to sit side by side and then Ango reaches for his hand again.]

I cleared out my schedule for the next handful of days.

[hurrayformarriage]

[Oda gives Ango's hand a squeeze, settling back into it like he'd never let go.]

Good thinkin'~ 'Cause I'm gonna drag you 'round the whole prefecture if you let me. You ever been to Osaka before?

[kanri]

Twice, but never for very long. Just business trips both times. I never got to actually see the sights.

[he waits until the train starts up to shift closer, finding Oda's warmth a comfort.]

Good thing I'm travelling with an expert.

[hurrayformarriage]

[Oda's more than happy to lean against Ango's side.]

You bet. Ain't nobody who can tour you around Osaka as well as I can!

...'cept if it's changed some since I was alive.
