[sheet music in hand, wandering into Kaito's bedroom]

Hey, Kaito?

[looking up from the very impressive set of chains he's currently got looped around and stretched between his hands]

Hmm?

[itaito]

[... please hold, brain momentarily short-circuited by chains]

[itaito]

... Ah, I, uh, wanted your opinion on this song...

[was_no_monster]

[perking up and promptly dumping the chains into a nearby box]

A-ah, really? Let me see...

[grabbing a little wooden recorder off of a nearby shelf and coming over to look]

[itaito]

[the way he just lit up like that is enough to erase almost all awkwardness]

--Oh! Do you want to do a duet?

[was_no_monster]

[kdslghdsgkd]

I— I don't think I'm really good enough for anything like that...

[itaito]

That's okay! I'm not sure if my tuning's right, that's what I was going to ask about, since your hearing's so good... but a duet might actually help me with that a lot!

[was_no_monster]

[wryly] Because it would give you something worse to compare yourself against?

[itaito]

Huh? No! I mean-- your recorder's in tune, right?

[was_no_monster]

It is, but that won't help much when I finger notes incorrectly. ...I only picked it up in case I needed to get a better idea of the melody.

[itaito]

Well... okay, if you're sure.

[pecks him on the cheek and hands him the sheet music to look at]

I just need somebody to help me out with my tuning - you're definitely the best person I can think of for that.

[was_no_monster]

[giving him a slightly startled (although not displeased) glance at the kiss, before looking down and turning away slightly, busying himself with the sheet music]

...Was it just a particular part you were worried about, or the entire thing?

[itaito]

I feel like I'm really off right around here [indicating an area], but it'd be good to check the whole thing.

[meanwhile, Miku is in her own room, sprawled out on her stomach as she works on her homework. she's currently studying one of her textbooks, frowning intently (not because of any difficulty with the material, but in order to properly balance the pen she's wearing like a mustache).]

[itaito]

[have a tentative knock at the door]

[icecreamtopping]

Come in— aaah, shoot!

[MY PENSTACHE HAS ESCAPED 8(]

[itaito]

[opens the door quietly and steps in, looking subdued.]

Miku...?

[icecreamtopping]

[fishing around under the bed]

It's okay, I just dropped something—

[and then she looks up]

...What's wrong?

[itaito]

...Hard to explain. I just...

[sits down on the bed and leans on. cuddles :(]

[icecreamtopping]

[ALL OF THEM. she latches onto him like an affectionate octopus, even draping one leg over his lap, and reaches up to stroke his hair]

It's okay. I'm used to that.

[itaito]

[all but clings. SUB NEEDS AFTERCARE]

...Mistress.

[icecreamtopping]

...Shhh.

[pets for a couple more moments before climbing off and tugging at him a little, patting her lap]

C'mere. Kaito's too tall for me to keep petting like that, so he should come down.

[itaito]

... Okay.

[he lies down gladly]

[icecreamtopping]

Good.

[she goes back to stroking his hair, tousling it a bit first, and reaches over with her other hand to take one of his]

[itaito]

[sighs in relief and contentment, starting to relax. he gives her hand an affectionate squeeze.]
