[gemuinemanagement]

[A: a village in the middle of nowhere, Japan]
[For whatever reason, you're in Azaka Village, a peaceful place with a large museum devoted to its history that nobody ever seems to go to. And for whatever reason - curiosity, losing track of time, an inability to play by the rules - you're exploring the museum after closing hours.

It doesn't take long before you realize that there is somebody in the museum with you, and now you're face to face with him. A man in all black, with a bright, gleaming sword has cornered you in one of the rooms. He advances upon you, holding the sword with one hand and with the other...

...pulling out a paper memo and pushing it in your face.]

The museum is closed

[B: slice of life jamjar]
[You've been sorted into a family with this guy who communicates with you largely by post-it notes and organizes and cleans things as a hobby. Since he's university age, he's been sorted as the father of the household.

So, as the father, he's going to try to fulfill his duties and cook something.

You wake up to the smell of burnt something. It's not clear what it was that was burnt, even if you go have a look at him glowering at the stove. There was food, and then it burnt beyond recognition.]

Comments

[gemuinemanagement]

[Dexterity, thankfully, is not a problem for him. He folds over the edges carefully and places it on the plate.

Then he looks between the pan and the plate a few times. That's not burnt. Did he really make something not burnt?]

[oneirism]

[And Lapis just smiles, nodding happily at his success.]

... Mm, there you go! As long as you swirl the pan and don't leave the egg in there too long, it's pretty simple.

[gemuinemanagement]

[He smiles back, and writes out another note.]

Thank you
Do you want some?

[oneirism]

[His smile gets her own to brighten a bit, and then she blinks at the note.]

... Hmm? Are you sure?

[gemuinemanagement]

You did most of the work
It would be rude not to share

[oneirism]

... Well, alright. [Nod nod as she goes to get forks out, sitting down at the table.] It'll be easier if we just eat from the same plate.

[Then she'll just start putting ketchup on her portion, then offering it to Suga in case he wants some.]

[gemuinemanagement]

[He does want some, actually, so their portions look pretty similar. Still, he's very careful to cut it in half so that they get exactly the same amount. No one being greedy.]

[oneirism]

[There's a blink when he cuts them in half, having been expecting him to have more since it is his omelette. Not that she doesn't mind having half since Lapis tends to inhale food, but still.]

... You can have more if you want, it is yours.

[gemuinemanagement]

[A firm shake of the head. Suga tends to 'talk' less over food because he doesn't like getting food stains on his memo cards, but he doesn't have to to communicate things like 'no way'.]

[oneirism]

[And Lapis can easily read the gestures, so she just sighs quietly as she goes to take a bite of her portion of omelette.]

... It wouldn't bother me, but if you're sure. And thank you.

[gemuinemanagement]

[That's confusing enough to need a memo card. He's careful not to get any omelette on it as he hands it to her.]

Why are you thanking me

[oneirism]

[She takes the card, making sure to be careful as well, and then blinks, tilting her head.]

... For sharing. You didn't have to, after all.

[gemuinemanagement]

[But it's hardly even his omelette when she did most of the work! He wants to write that, but he thinks it would be useless, so all he does is shake his head and take a bite out of his portion.

...It's really good. Much better than he's used to having.]

[oneirism]

[Because she was teaching him and so it's technically his! That's her logic and she's sticking to it, and so she happily munches on the food, only pausing to speak again.]

... How is it?

[gemuinemanagement]

[That one he doesn't need a notecard for either. He turns and gives a bright smile.

It's delicious, and thank you.]

[oneirism]

[She gives him a bright smile in return, nodding in response.]

... Mm, that's good. And if there's anything else you want to learn how to make, just let me know.

[gemuinemanagement]

[This particular note is written quickly, though the handwriting is no less immaculate. Suga's gotten good at this.]

What can I give in return?

[oneirism]

[She can't help but blink again, though the moment she sees the note, she shakes her head with her expression as flat as usual.]

... You don't have to give me anything. I like being able to help.

[gemuinemanagement]

[He thinks about that a moment, chewing on his food, then writes another note, which he places in front of her.]

Wait here

[Then he heads to his bedroom, looking for something.]

[oneirism]

[Cue another glance at the note, and she frowns faintly, looking up again.]

... What is- [Oh he's gone. She huffs quietly but stays put, eating some more as she wonders what he's doing.]

[gemuinemanagement]

[He returns, carrying a necklace with a single stone bead on it.

The stone is not particularly large, about the size of one's thumb. It's slightly blue, and slightly glowing. Lapis will probably be able to sense its spiritual power before he writes it down for her.]

A protective charm against malevolent spirits

[oneirism]

[The spiritual power gets her eyes to widen, and she sits up straighter as she looks at the stone. There's a moment where she glances between the note and necklace, and then she smiles. For someone like her, something like this is incredibly helpful.]

... Thank you very much. I encounter malevolent spirits a lot back home, so this will be a big help.

[gemuinemanagement]

[He smiles back at her, relieved that he could make some kind of repayment.]

You're welcome
It has a limited amount of strength before it breaks, so don't rely on it forever

[oneirism]

[Another nod as she admires the necklace, since wow it's pretty too.]

... Alright, I'll be careful. Thanks again, Suga.

oh my goodness they're cute

[gemuinemanagement]

[He smiles at her again, before sitting down to finish his breakfast with her.]
