I thought that maybe we could make an arrangement using one of these.
[ He couldn't come up with anything satisfying, but Joonghyuk can tell that it'll be easy for Brambles to figure it out. ]
no subject
Mm. [ A simple nod of his head. ]
You asked me of their meaning a little while ago. Sunflowers, I mean. Are they your favourites?
no subject
Mhm, you're right. I did.
[ He's a little surprised that Brambles remembers that conversation. All things considered, they're two strangers playing an online game. Maybe a bit more than that, but Joonghyuk doesn't bother putting a label on it. ]
Yeah, I like them. Flowers are beautiful in general, but sunflowers are really bright and...
[ Joonghyuk clears his throat. ]
They are my favorites, yes.
no subject
Hearing him describe the flowers that he likes just makes him smile brightly. ]
Then we're going to make something really special with them.
[ Time for them to find some more flowers! ]
Did I ever tell you my favourite flower?
no subject
No. But you should tell me now.
[ He should because Joonghyuk wants to know!! Simple. ]
no subject
Daisies.
[ A sweet, simple answer, for a sweet simple flower. ]
no subject
Sunflowers and daisies go well together... I think.
[ Joonghyuk looks away as he presses the flowers he's holding closer to his chest. ]
Let's go find some.
no subject
[ Which says something about their height difference, too. I mean. ]
I like daisies because of how carefree they are. They just grow wherever they want, modestly adding little pops of white to what would otherwise be a plain grassy field. They don't need to be big, beautiful and extravagant ... they're just small and brilliant. I love that.
no subject
[ It sounds like a generalization, but at the same time it's not like he has that much experience with flowers. Actually, he probably shouldn't tell Brambles that he has murdered a few potted plants. ]
They look nice, though. And you are similar... kind of.

Do you eat this often?
[ He's still processing the fact that it's an actual dish, to be honest. ]
no subject
[ It really speaks something of British food culture when Brambles is proud to master putting a frickin potato in the oven at 180 degrees for 45 minutes and preparing some baked beans on the hob to go with it. ]
What's your favourite food?
no subject
Pork dumplings. I could eat them all the time.
[ Which wouldn't be good for his health but whatever. ]
no subject
[ Though ... ]
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever had a dumpling before.
[ His sad potato-and-bean loving tastebuds have yet to experience exciting food. ]
no subject
[ They don't sell these at convenience stores, but sometimes he makes them at home. ]
Don't tell me you eat potatoes and beans all the time.
[ Didn't he just say the same about dumplings, though... ]
no subject
[ He laughs! ]
I love them! But that would get proper boring. I also like to eat lentil cottage pie, butter on toast and jam sandwiches! [ THIS GUY, ]
no subject
[ That makes Joonghyuk snort as he figures out how the oven works to heat it up before drying the potatoes. ]
We eat completely different things. Well, maybe save for butter on toast.
no subject
[ he is sniffing the potatoes. ]
These potatoes...! Mmmm. How is technology so incredible? I can't believe we can just stick potatoes in the oven and eat food on a game like this!

I need to send a few messages, but...
[ That won't stop him from wrapping his arm around Brambles and pulling him into an embrace. ]
no subject
But despite all of these troubles, his room in the guild home is very tranquil and serene. It's not a problem-solver by any means, but being here in this space, in the quiet, with Joonghyuk, is enough for him right now. His arms circle around his partner's. This gesture alone is enough to make Brambles' breath stutter and his body shake, before he cracks out a little whimper when he starts to cry. ]
no subject
Don't worry. I'll make sure everything will turn out all right.
[ Joonghyuk can't shake off the feeling that he might not be able to do what he's promising, but Brambles doesn't have to know about this concern. ]
no subject
Your messages ... [ He heard that, and he doesn't want to get in the way of Joonghyuk's tasks, despite his current state. ]
no subject
It can wait. [ He leans in to kiss that tear away. ] I'm sorry.
[ Technically, none of this is his fault, but... maybe if he didn't log in every day, Brambles would have forgotten about this game and never got into this situation. ]
I'm here with you.
no subject
[ He buries his face into Joonghyuk's chest again, hugging him tightly. ]
I'm so glad you are. Will you ... lie here with me for a bit?
no subject
[ So they won't even have to move anywhere. ]
I'm sure it's just temporary, Brambles. We're going to get out.
no subject
I ... really hope you're right ... I keep thinking about Mia, and my Dad ... [ sniff ] I don't know what's going to happen. I'm so scared ...
