[Futurelandia] An Eventful Valentines and beyond (happy new year)
[ Nathan moved into tow and that was awkward, Yamato and Nariko probably have some sort of a relationship and that's awkward, Yamato's been trying to make new friends so that's interesting, and Masaomi and Nariko are hopefully solid as anything after that trip, Nathan and Yamato complications aside. There's a new pack member that Masaomi met at a party and Nariko met in class. It's been over a month since the new year began and the old one concluded.
A lot's changed and yet not a lot had at all.
And frankly, things were probably just going to change that much more in the coming days and weeks.this might be edited to something more poetic later once we conclude more stuff about that other log ]

The kids might remember him for a few visits he had in their younger days (Yamato certainly does) and the packmates will recall him coming a few other times beside. Other than Mikado during the earliest years (like before Koji was two) Rin's probably the member of Masaomi's family whose shown up here the most, even if it really has been something like only every other two or three years.
The thing that immediately strikes the man is how different the mood is. It feels... interesting. A little more welcoming, if he had to put his finger on it. But there's obviously got to be tensions they have here and there. Not his place though, at least not really. Still! The man settles in, shakes everyone's hands and while he's in limbo waiting for dinner (which he considers offering to make but he's pretty sure no one would let him) he's... sort of left to choose who he wants to hang out with, if anyone.
And so he's left wandering near the house's library. Was he seeking someone in particular? Maybe. He'll never tell ]
no subject
Junko, for her part, has been trying to figure out what to do for actual Valentine's Day. Ethan, somewhat understandably, would probably want to spend the day or night with her. She still hasn't broken up with him and everyone else will be busy, so ... She's been considering outfits since all of her homework and extra work is done with. But asking any man from her pack won't end well, and Audrey and mom would ask who she was dressing up for at all, so!]
Uncle Rin!
[She can always recognize him, it's almost a weird talent that she's got.]
Is this a good Valentine's dress? I mean, it's pink!
[And it flatters her very nicely, her apparently-growing bust is even complimented! But it might not be good enough for Ethan, who would probably try to insist she wear something far too intricate and heavy.
But, yeah, Rin! You're being recruited for outfit opinions.]
no subject
Okay it shouldn't as family and all, but still. The man laughs a little at that question, and he turns to look it over and - ]
Damned right it is! And you look cute in it! [ . . . ] 'Course, you'd probably look cute'n everything.
[ He answers that easily, a little bit smoothly - or as smooth as he could be - despite being a little surprised to be ambushed with this in the hall near the library. He'll give her a proper greeting (okay so they greeted each other at the door already but details) in a bit. Or maybe not, who knows ]
no subject
When did you get all charming? It's weird. [When did he start to look so -]
[He's her uncle. Technically (except not really? Probably.). Somehow that's not as comfortable as having slept with her father multiple times last year.] Thanks, though. 'Cute' is what I'm actually going for this time! Want to help me pick out shoes?
[He's just standing there, after all! If he's not busy then she'll put him to work in some form or fashion until dinner is ready.]
no subject
[ ... Was she legally an adult now? He's not actually totally certain. Either way, he runs a hand through his hairs and nods. Whatever trauma there might have been from getting toys thrown at him as someone who wasn't even twenty is forgotten, even if he was annoyed at the time probably.
Still. ]
Man, you got someone yer really trying to impress if you're asking me though.
[ But he does motion for her to lead on. Don't worry, he can consult on shoes. Probably ]

They had other things to talk about too, of course. School and how Yamato was getting somewhat slack in the few classes they shared. Yamato's aspirations at tennis greatness and if Fred could help, and the fact Fred was getting roped into helping to set up the school's next big drama production as a stage hand from a friend of his but... well, the conversation did seem to often draw back to the fact that both teenagers who once had awkwardly hot buxom mothers now had deliciously hot busty mates. That connection between them led to many jokes, little updates about how the other was doing, and...
Well, to this idea. This idea eventually, as it didn't really come to mind until the later part of January and to fruition as Yamato's father was a week or two into the three or four he needed to remain celibate to reverse his vasectomy. As a son and as a loyal pack member, he felt bad for his father and his Alpha. But as a challenger and a "rival" of sorts, he was overjoyed at the fact that he had Nariko all to himself. Mostly. It's not like she didn't even do things with other people and it's not like her brother hadn't moved in recently! But all the same, it was riding pretty high. So high, in fact, he now was confidently driving her out towards that cabin that Masaomi has gifted him for a little weekend retreat.
Something Fred was mirroring... albeit with Charlotte driving and not himself. The two were going to meet up there, and Fred was giving Charlotte directions on how to get there without actually telling her where it was. ]
Okay, so it'll be just up this road, Ma.
[ He said. With a winning smile. Yamato and his mom probably beat them here.
and we can start with the Yamato and Nariko perspective in the house and/or getting there too I just kinda felt like Fred]no subject
Hey, it's really not that bad!
[She'd somehow gotten it into her head that Yamato ended up with an abandoned shack but it's much nicer than that! Everything is in good shape, at least, no broken hinges or unresponsive plumbing! She'd though it had to be abominable for Masaomi to be unable to move it onto someone. But, then, it really is kind of in the middle of nowhere and they live in a city, so people probably want to be closer, not farther.]
So why, exactly, did you want to bring me out here?
[It's not as if they can't fool around in the house! But it's a little awkward at times, and she feels awkward doing much of anything too closely to Masaomi, there has to be one floor of space between both before she can keep from jumping out of paranoia. So an isolated, quiet space where no one would see them? When she knew Masaomi would be okay? It's heaven for two newly minted, still infatuated mates. And there's no mistaking her infatuation with Yamato because when they can manage to enjoy themselves she's pretty much all over him.
And that's certainly her plan now, too! Except ... That's a car in the driveway. Huh.]
no subject
It worked out for him. Why exactly though? He glances over at the car and then back at her, waiting for Fred to complete his end of things and get them in here. But in preparation for that he leans back against one of the sparce-ish furnishes of the cabin and smiles, starting to coat the space in his scent. ]
A surprise, actually? I... I wanted to have some special fun with you.
no subject
Alright. [She wasn't seeing things, that's Charlotte's car. And that's Fred undoubtedly coming out of one side while his mother follows, looking about as curious as Nariko feels.] ... What kind of fun?
[Obviously the kind with multiple partners which really isn't a problem, it's more that ... In what way did he think that Charlotte might enjoy this? So that's something of a concern for her, certainly, because in the last month or so she and the other woman had repaired their friendship and even spent a good bit of time together! It wasn't as if Nariko was blind, she had noticed how much more sexual the blonde woman had become, and being around her was occasionally - taxing, was the best way to put it. She had the kind of scent that could get on an Alphas nerve in such a way, it was something that had no mind for gender. But they were still friends, much in the way their sons were.
So it's not as if she'll be unhappy to see her friend or her son.]
no subject
Fred, for his part, is leading his Ma hand in hand to the door, and he gentlemanly smiles as he opens the door to show Nariko and Yamato within! He even said something polite and maybe old time-y but whatever is was (and any other potential greetings, maybe) is cut off by the fact that Yamato closes his eyes and makes his scent shoot out, blanketing the room with that primal note of domination he's gotten better about projecting. And to everyone in the room he issues an order - mostly to test if it can effect everyone in here or not - ]
Please strip naked for me.

And then he came home and more or less the second day back had the surgery to reverse his vasectomy.
And it hurts. A lot. It hurt back then and it still hurts now. And on top of that, the doctor said that he'd have a meeting in three weeks to see if it was safe for him to have sex, and warned him there was a chance that there might need to be another week of celibacy after that. He wasn't able to do anything the first week other than walk around the house and had been bedridden more or less icing his balls and cock periodically to recover. And after that first week, when the doctor told him he was cleared to go to work if he wanted, Masaomi decided he could work from home.
Not that you can necessarily do that in real estate, but he didn't want to drive. Which meant he was house-ridden. He decided to let Lisa handle everything at the office itself and he could review the properties and handle calls over here. He's been doing that for the last week and trying to ignore the fact that his cock feels like it's on fire every time he pees. He hopes that's normal.
If it's infected he's going to kill someone.
But yeah, he's not bedridden anymore, but he is housebound and trying to deal with the fact that he wasn't able to have sex still and it's awful. Emily had been avoiding him a little he's sure of it. Yamato had too but he can't blame the boy. Nariko had tried to hover around him, play nurse... but he felt bad for her doing that, when he knew very well and could smell on her that some part of her would prefer to be with Yamato. He's not sure if the two other women in the house sensed that too or had their own agendas, but Ada and Audrey had sort of subtly pushed her out over the last several days.
Ada had been throwing shade at him. He considered spiting her, but he didn't want to. That said, right now he was setting down the phone and sighing, shaking his head as he sits in the bed, waiting for one of his "nurses" to inevitably show up. It was near lunch after all... ]
no subject
In the meantime? She gets Masaomi to herself, almost! That he can't fuck her doesn't take away from that.
Masaomi might smell the food before he sees Audrey, because it's still hot.]
Alright, Mr. Kida, lunchtime!
[For the most part Audrey's just been the most eager to get Masaomi anything he needs, even going so far as to insist he stay in bed when he doesn't feel the need to stretch his limbs so that they don't ache from misuse. But she's done all of this in a practical, dedicated manner that probably highlights the extent of her feelings, and how deeply they run. She still hasn't forgotten how he helped her move out of her parents house, after all.
But today she's actually dressed up for the part, bearing take-out.] And how are you feeling today?
[Probably bored, irritated, and deeply uncomfortable, which is exactly why her own act is part genuine concern but also overdramatic schtick - really, more than anything else, she's trying to get him to laugh more than frown.]
no subject
The absurdity of that is not lost on him. He isn't quite sure where his mate is right now and he's not sure what's up with Ada either. Both of those are points he needs to address. Tom has tried to approach him for advice in planning airfare for reasons he can't even begin to describe and he's losing business. He's in pain and he hasn't talked to his oldest son in two days. Being bedridden even if he's not bedridden has him frustratedly out of the loop.
... It's ben rough.
But that outfit makes him snort, and he sits up in bed, crawling over towards the edge of it ]
Incredibly repressed, but then we all need to pay for our sins, I guess.
no subject
[She's more than convinced that he's just fine, infection free -- As is Nariko, actually.]
Seriously, though [She drops acts quicker than people blink.] I know it's shit, but I was reading up on it and guys in your position are usually still so sore they can't even move.
[And it's not like his mobility is super great, but he is able to move on the bed and around the house. Either way, Audrey opens the take-out and, honestly, it's Masaomi's favorite or whatever, largely because Audrey isn't the one who picked it out - she was just the delivery girl in this sense, but was allowed to take credit for it. So whatever might be comforting or at least lift his mood a bit, that's what she's ended up getting! Audrey drags over the little mobile table so he can eat comfortably.]
It's not like any part of you to be out of the count for too long. [Not his dick or his arms or legs or his brain. None of it.]
no subject
[ He says this airily, but he doesn't seem to commit one way or the other as to what he believes or what's the truth of the matter. That act, particularly in that she can drop it so quickly, is super cute. God he wishes he could-- well, something. He shakes his head and inhales deep from the air around him and thus takes in the scent of the Soba.
... Audrey didn't pick this out.
But he'll allow her to take the credit, a deeply nostalgic look coming into his eyes as he rummages in the bag to see not only was there soba noodles, but also of all things there was also some Japanese desserts in the bottom. He laughs at that outright, taking out the take out container and feeling for the disposable chopsticks. ]
It wouldn't be right for me to be out of commission, it's true.

But even then she couldn't quite handle being away from Masaomi, so Audrey had helped her, had taken care of Masaomi as best as a teenager could - but nowhere near what Nariko would have done herself if she and her mate were capable of not fucking. It had to be enough.
No matter how Masaomi feels about her absence, about Yamato, or about their lives after a magical span of time? He's getting attacked the second he walks through the door. She's been waiting for him all day, she skipped classes, and even went as far as to blatantly stare out their front most window. It's completely possible that he saw her watching him come up to the front door like an overeager dog awaiting its master.
Except a dog can't kiss nearly as well as her, but she's moaning the second their lips connect.
So, yeah, welcome home Masaomi!]

All of that is wiped away the moment he steps in the door and before he even announces he had a clean bill of health (well, out loud. He'd sent sent a big mass text to everyone) Nariko's slip on him and is in his arms, kissing him, licking at his lips - and he holds her back, spinning with her in his arms in the foyer, kissing her back. His scent spews out wildly all over the place, now he doesn't need to hold it down ]

Hey.
[That probably came out like 'mmmmey' but whatever, man. Nariko pulls them back towards the stairs in some dumbly vain hope of making it to their bedroom, but that's an awful amount of floors away and his pants are right there. It's such bad math when she's already panting and half whining. Though it's been quite a long while (about fifteen years, per Koji's age) and might therefore be difficult to notice at first there's a particular thread of desperation here that doesn't have anything to do with their separation.
She's just always so fucking horny when she's pregnant.]

[ Of course he doesn't immediately connect it to pregnancy. Honestly, even if he has talked with her about her and Yamato before now, they didn't exactly discuss that he planned to knock her up. At least not in detail if it even came up at all. Plus she had been hesitant to be pregnant at all... so he doesn't consider it a possibility.
Still, he's stumbling to and partially up the stairs with her, shaking his head and groaning as he knows he's getting an erection - which it feels good to get by the way even if there's a light sting ]
no subject
[As in, there are some and then she very dramatically pushes her chest into his to kind of make a point - balloons! Her boobs are the balloons! ... It's an awful joke but that's what happens when he's out of the picture for too long. She has to try and make up for it on her own and it goes terribly. If nothing else he's saving their household from her excuse of a sense of humor.
One of her hands braces against the wall as they go, but she won't stop kissing him, and she's working at his pants, as if some of her hormones might calm themselves if she can at least touch him.]

The original plan, the one boldly proposed before they put their bitch of a mother in the ground (...that's more Nariko's line than his, isn't it? Maybe he really hasn't been having a great two months) was that he would finish up his last tour, announce that he was moving to the United States, maybe arrange another tour to do later, finally make things official with Irina, and then his sister would he back over there shortly after New Years to welcome him, help him pack, and they would fly back together.
More or less none of that really happened. The first thing to go "wrong" was the fact that it was pointed out to him that even in the aftermath of his current tour the contract requires him to be around for every possible press interview or proposal by music groups or symphony insiders or sponsors or generally just at the beck and call of the industry for a good month after the end of the tour, so much so there's no way he would have had time to pack, even if he had a comparatively meager collection of things he planned to bring over. Still, he didn't intend to tell anyone about that and in fact actually got on the phone with her mate to work out buying a house near them, a house that he's owned (at slightly below market value he's pretty sure, which he's both thankful and mildly frustrated for) for the last two months. The second thing to go wrong was even though he told no one about those contract complications, Nariko cancelled on him.
That was... hard. And it's probably because that was hard that the third tragedy struck - that when he decided to propose to Irina - it. It didn't go well. Irina had known, always known to some extent that he was still really fucked up about his sister and his mom and all that stuff and even around the time of the funeral, before it and after it when he was respectively looking forward to and hung up on his sister she was the same manager of his life exteriorly and loving sub interiorly, somewhat content with being second place in his soul - she wasn't content to be his Wife and be in second place.
That. That was something he should have thought of. And he thought of it the moment she threw one of his numerous romance movies in his face in the ensuing argument.
It's been about a month since then, and it's late February now. Nathan's gotten his vista, finalized his work things other than the fact that Irina is still his manager on paper and even she seems to be unclear on if she's going to quit, and he's flying out solo to their city, spending more or less the whole time on the plane drunk and staring at either photographs of her and her family on facebook or a little pill case that represents his fucked up sexuality that he snuck on the plane. He was greeted at the airport, of course, hugs and kisses abound as he tried to pretend that he had less jelly legs than he did - aaaand.
And it's a day and a half from then, and apparently that mate of hers was using the whole pack as labor to speed up him moving in, now that his furniture's arrived, either pre-bought here by Nariko or in the case of more sentimental or expensive items, flown in from Rome. Honestly, he's not even sure what he needs to do, crossing his arms as he watches some huge red barded man hauling a couch with a dreadlocked guy on the other end. He should probably have a big introduction thing, but supposedly they're going to have a housewarming party at the end of the day too. ]
no subject
Unfortunately between the barren state of his new home and the sheer number of people involved Nariko wasn't given a chance to speak with Nathan the first night he arrived or the following day. Joshua, Tom, Sullivan, and Octavio were all helping with the bigger pieces of furniture while Nariko sorted boxes under the supervision of one mate or the other (after all, she wasn't supposed to lift anything even vaguely heavy). Junko, Olivia, Audrey, Ada, Veronica, and Koji were meant to help with smaller details - general things like kitchen and living room furniture which could safely be handled by them.
It was Emily who ended up with Ariel in her lap, sitting at Nathan's new dining room table. She's just gotten back from buying everything they'll need for the actual housewarming party, which is mostly a whole lot of food because the entire pack is going to be hungry after this - there's just enough of them to get the bulk of it done in a single day. And that's pretty much the goal, and some of the point of having them all help in the first place. The other part is to make sure everyone knows who Nathan is, and that Nathan knows who Everyone is, too. So until the real work is over and done with Nariko's concerns will remain in the back of her head while she directs things from one place to another. Right now it's the redhead, in a comfy top and old jeans, who asks for Nathan's attention.]
So, hey.
[Leave it to Emily to just pop up with a question to a stranger.] What was it like living overseas?
[That's not what she really wants to ask but the guy looks weirdly out of time and space, so it's best to start with something easy.]
Rofl I think I love this combination
But there's pills in his pocket. It makes a noise when he walks. He knows it does and he feels a little bad, particularly with a cute baby girl in front of him who is also a redhead ... being held by a redhead who had a nose and tongue piercing. He inhales, shakes his head, and ]
Pretty different. I've lived there... a while, might be more weird to be not overseas.
[ He's talking too fast, he's talking too fast...
Inhale, exhale. Deep breathes ]
yup it was almost Audrey but I figured Emily needed some starring time tbh
Yeah, I imagine readjusting will be shit, and the time difference is going to be a bitch, too.
[She tries to give him a reassuring smile.] If you're up to it, I can let you know who everyone is?
[Knowledge is power, right? Maybe he'd feel a little better if some of the strangers in his new house had names and occupations and facts behind them.]
Yeah I agree she hasn't gotten to do near enough for how cool she is
Fuck him the jet lag really is bad. ]
Sure, why not? I... got and introduction already, but damned if I remember them all yet.
[ That probably sounded too callous. He tried to say that as something roguishly charming, smiling on the end of it to assure her, but the smile faltered and now he sort of runs his hand through his hair and sits next to her, causing the pills to jingle in his pocket ]
Emily.
[ There, he showed he knows her name! ]
the downside of being the logical and non-dramatic one
Ada needs more screentime too. I guess the Idiot Trio is the most robbed tho
Probably which is unfair I feel bad, but it's hard to not adore the kida family
Eeeh the Kidas are our focus characters anyway, the rest are ultimately supporting
That's true

I'm basking in the delicious
(no subject)
I'm kind of amused Ada makes bad impressions on so many people
she's doing it on purpose here a little but yeah she's a spiky thing with soft insides basically
I love her a lot it's fuzzy and warm to me
lmao I'm glad especially since she's such a complex weirdo
I do look forward to giving her more screentime but I think the complexity is good
Poor Joshua unpacking her issues he's got some work to do
not like he doesn't have shit to unpack too tbh
A very fair point
Mutual healing through bondage I guess
Best title for a bdsm positive self help book
