[Guess who's gonna appear in your thoughts right about now, bestest buddy ol' pal? That's right. Rin will, and with his little mirror propped up in front of him on the dining room table, he props his chin up in his hand and sports a very, very wide grin.]

So? How's it like?

[takenwithhim]

[It's not the blip popping into his head that has his eyebrow rising. It's that look on his face, grin wide with those pretty sharp teeth all exposed and gleaming. Sousuke looks up at the ceiling, having just laid down for a rest, but obviously not...]

Tsk. What's "it" and I'll answer.

[Come on; he knows that look.]

[sharkmaid]

Come on.

[Of course you know this look. Embrace it and enjoy it, man.]

You know... Nanny Sou-su-ke~

[Yes, he's being sure to add emphasis to every character just because he wants to.]

[takenwithhim]

[Absolutely not.]

...

["Nanny" should be the biggest hint, right? Wait. 'Click.' Enjoy a 'lens' shrinking a little with that annoyed look and his head turning to the side.]

Shut up.

[sharkmaid]

[Annnnd cue laughter.]

Oh, come on. Are you embarrassed? I for one think it's kinda precious.

[takenwithhim]

[He's laughing at him. Ugh.]

It was Mikoshiba's idea.

[Totally going to ignore what's brown and black and furry and currently curled up on his chest this very moment.]

[sharkmaid]

Ohh? Is that him?

[Don't think he can't sort of see that ball of fluff in his peripheral vision, bro.]

Hey, hey, lemme see.

[takenwithhim]

[Cue a long sigh. Honestly, can't he hide something from Rin some day?]

He's sleeping.

[And why yes, that tone was so very "wake him up and papa's going to be angry" in its sound. But he tucks his chin anyways, letting Rin see the puppy balled up on his chest, somehow finding just the right place that Sousuke's breaths won't be sliding him off his comfortable perch.]

Did Mikoshiba tell you his name?

[Assuming that's how Rin knew.]

[sharkmaid]

[Whoa there, tiger. He's not gonna be that mean.

At least his grin seems to settle and soften with that last comment though and with a soft sigh of his own, Rin lowers his hand onto the table and leans in a bit closer to the mirror.]

Yeah. And that you let him pick it.

[Snort]

I never knew you could be such a softy.

[takenwithhim]

[It's instinct, can't cull that. Not that he's admitted his tone just did that. Nope.

Sousuke wishes he had a mirror of is own right now, just so Rin could see his face. Maybe it's time to invest in a small compact or something...]

Hey. [Heard that snort.] I wanted a cat.

[Grumble. Because the moment he'd seen his roommate with the puppy, he knew he'd lost any chance of control in the matter.]

Hn. Liar.

[sharkmaid]

You can always stop by and play with my cat sometimes.

[... There's nothing dirty about that.]

And I'm not lying.

[He is lying.]

[takenwithhim]

[So long as the other fish isn't there.]

I'd like that. We haven't gone out for a while since the beach.

[With tails and all.]

You are.

[sharkmaid]

Good. We'll plan on it.

[Ah yes. The beach. With the sand... and the tails... and the hormones.]

Tsk.

[Rolling his eyes now]

Yeah, well...

[Pout!]

You're still a nanny.

[takenwithhim]

[Plenty of hormones. He really doesn't think any of that memory will ever fade. And that's good.]

Hn.

[Saw that.]

...?

[Such a smirk, lying there with the baby (other baby) on his chest.]

I don't have a maid outfit.

[sharkmaid]

[CHOKE]

WH–!?

Who–? Who told you about that!?

1/3

[takenwithhim]

[...pause...]

Told me about what?

2/3

[takenwithhim]

[Wait a second.]

[Thinking.]

[Clicking.]

3/3

[takenwithhim]

[...]

Heh.

[Oh. Wow.

He's laughing now.]

[sharkmaid]

H-hey! What're you laughing about!?

[HE CALLED YOU TO EMBARRASS YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.]

[takenwithhim]

[But you give him so much to work with!]

You've actually got a maid outfit in your closet?

[Still laughing. Puppy is not amused his perch is shaking.]

[sharkmaid]

N-ngh! Keep it down! You'll... wake up the dog.

[Yeah, Sousuke, geez.]

[takenwithhim]

[Tsk, fine. Toning it down. Though he's definitely curious, maybe a little arched brow.]

I thought that was Nitori's specialty.

[sharkmaid]

Look, I... bought it when I wasn't exactly in my right mind ok.

[takenwithhim]

Uh-huh.

[Cop out excuse in this place.]

[sharkmaid]

I'm serious! S-Someone made me get it.
