masanari | [Futurelandia] An Eventful Valentines and beyond (happy new year)

[ She does, albeit also a surprising one for a variety of reasons. What was Junko doing here? When did she come here? Why didn't Ada or Audrey or someone shoo her out? Had those ones been back between then and now and simply decided to leave her? His daughter is warm against him, and as he opens his eyes, looks her over...

He doesn't move, but he does wonder.

And he blinks, coming more and more to being awake. It's... still nice to see her, admittedly ]

[All very good questions! None of which will receive an answer because Junko's subconscious has no reason to be alarmed by her father's presence, and the lack of movement keeps her perfectly docile.

But considering that it's probably some incredibly weird hour in the day, one where she really shouldn't be sleeping, it might be a good idea to get her up and moving. Otherwise her entire sleep schedule will be fucked.]

[ Yeah it's only about three? He thinks it's about three - he reaches past her to get his phone off the nightshelf in order to both check what time it is and see if there's any personal or business texts or emails. Which might see Lisa panicking or serve as any explanation for his moment.

Oh no it's about four.

Okay, all the more. Once he's done with his phone, he sets them down and reaches around to pinch Junko's cheek ]

[... Four in the morning??

Either way, Junko makes a weird, high pitched noise that's only partially muffled by his chest, her body jerks and her knee probably bumps into some part of him a little awkwardly.]

Rin! [Uh, wait, her dad is not Rin. Oops.]

Oh, hey, you're up!

[ Four in the afternoon!

... Wait, his brother's name??? ]

So it seems!

[ His brother's name??? ]

[Thank goodness. But Junko doesn't seem to notice anything wrong with mentioning her new mate's name, and she sits up on the bed, smoothing her hair out before yawning wide.

The ice has been replaced so - someone's definitely been in here while they were both asleep, it was probably Ada.]

How are you feeling?

Given I just got up from a nap... probably as well as can be expected.

[ Actually, he feels Cold down there now, just a little. He reaches under his blanket to move the ice out of the way and set it on the nightstand for a moment. He'll put it back in place when he next feels the burning. Still, she's surprisingly civil for having snuggled up with him (his brother???) and hit her head on his chin ]

Ahh. [So, awful, right? She doesn't know what it's like to have important organs cut up and invasively felt up by doctors, thank you very much.]

Do you want me to get you anything?

[She can at least take care of him before broaching the subject! It's only right.]

A world in which I can get a wet blowjob and then pee.

[ ... He shouldn't say that. Especially to her and especially because the thought process is a little disjointed to begin with. He exhales hard, and shakes his head, waving a hand on the air ] But no, no. I'll be fine, you don't need to get me anything, dear.

[ He even laughs at his own earlier joke now, lightly ]

There's such a thing as a dry blowjob?

[That sounds horrifying ... But she doesn't appear to trust his answer, there. He's got to need food or a pillow or something?? Something that isn't the blowjob.]

If you're sure. [It's a lead in, in face he changes his mind even though she knows he won't.]

So ... You're going to knock people up.

Don't worry, I'm sure. I had some soba noodles earlier and maybe some tea would be good but I'll live.

[ And he brushes the top of her head now, affectionately.

... Oh. ]

Probably?

[Once he mentions the tea she reaches into her skirt pocket to pull out her phone, texting so rapidly that it's a wonder her fingers don't ache, meanwhile she leans into his hand subconsciously.]

It doesn't sound like a 'probably'. It sounds like a 'I got under a knife to make it possible so it's going to happen' thing.

[Masaomi remember that this is the child you can't exactly bullshit sooo. Might as well be straight forward about it.]

[ Jesus that was fast. Kids are weird, he can't even begin to text like that even if there were computers when he was young. Admittedly, there were not cell phones like there are these days. But... oh well, whatever, he feels old now. But all the same, he closes his eyes, opens his eyes, and then... ]

Maaah. I came to a couple of realizations all at once, about what this pack needs, about what I'd like, and about what Nariko's always said she wanted. So it seemed like the right choice to make.

[ There, here'll be straight with it. ]

Edited 2016-06-18 04:17 (UTC)

[The idea that this might be fueled by what her mother wants is vaguely absurd to Junko but, whatever, that's not the point.]

But it's not just mom. Ada said that Emily wants a kid and asked you to be the dad instead of her boyfriend. So is it just her?

[... She can't be as straight about it as he was, apparently. Mostly because, in the moment, it feels like she might just be assuming a lot if she just comes right out with it.]

[ He doesn't want to offend her, because she was the most upset about him and her mother diversifying their relationship in the first place. It's something that he can't help but bare in mind with her. But he's also not sure if dwelling on it is unfair of him or not. He tilts his head, and then he closes his yes, opens his eyes... And... ]

I've got intentions beyond that as well, but I'm not the tyrannical Alpha who enforces that sort of rule. The pack needs a new generation though, aside from your mother an I there's been no kids born to it, and only two more inherited since, all of you legal adults at this point. [ More or less. Koji and all ] And so I'm going to see if the others would be amenable.

Mm.

[Now she's really glad that she didn't just come out and say it. And before they can get too far into the discussion there's a knock on the door and then Audrey comes in with a pot of tea and two cups!!]

Drink delivery! Sorry to interrupt the super important father-daughter talk here!

[But Masaomi wanted tea, so he gets tea, through the magic of electric kettles which are so much quicker .... That, and Audrey had been wanting some too. Junko sits up and away from him a little so that he'll have more room to accept the tray that's safely placed near him.]

[ Oh, so she texted Audrey? Does that mean that the two of them are more cool these days? He swears, between an extended trip and now being mostly bedridden for a few weeks he feels entirely out of the loop. He didn't even really get to greet Rin when the man showed up a little over a week early for his planned "call all of his living relatives or at least his brothers and maybe Linda if she wanted to come too" plan.

But he nods for Audrey, shifting how he's sitting to accept the tea ]

Oh no, it's truly nice of you.

[ He hums, looking her over ]

Though it seems a little outside the nurse purview.

It's important for a woman to be multitalented.

[There's sugar and honey, though that might be for Junko more than Masaomi.] Now, even though I've dreamed of this kind of scenario tons of times [She gives a little salute.] you guys have to talk and all that, and far be it from me to get in the way of father-daughter bonds.

[Junko's already chosen a cup and she's pouring honey in.] Thank Audrey. And don't forget my notes, okay? I have to study too.

[Audrey waves a hand.] Whatever, just text me if you need anything else. [Her visit is surprisingly short lived, but at least Junko's kind of rounding up to her point, though she sips even after Audrey's left the room.]

[ Yeah who the hell puts sugar and honey in tea? Given the choice he'd take a pomegranate green or oolong or something anyway. But hey, he's not complaining, he got something to calm his throat and his his eyes. And so he smiles at Audrey as she leaves (even snickering a little at the "even though I've dreamed" quip before he folds his hands in front of him, allowing the tea to sit for a moment as he turns to face Junko ]

You have her writing notes for you?

[Junko! Well, the honey, at least. Just a tiny bit of sugar and that's it.]

No, she stole mine because she didn't do any of the homework herself, so now she has to catch up.

[Audrey really wasn't kidding about taking that break.]

So ... I just kind of wanted to tell you that I, uh. Y'know. Already know who I want to have kids with. So there's that.

[So don't consider her an option for this escapade, Masaomi. This might also be an opening into Rin and all that but Junko hasn't committed to the idea yet.]

[ . . . Um?

Um? ]

A-ah? That seems abrupt?

[ How does a father react to her daughter saying that. Or his daughter talking about him knocking her up? Or that she felt the need to point that out before anything? Why did she feel the need to point that out upfront as some serious talk thing? ]

[Because it's not like they haven't fucked before so, somewhat objectively, she could see how she might be an option. But then that's also her father so there's a lot of reason to believe she wouldn't be an option ... But half of their family was incredibly incestuous, like, constantly.]

I mean, I just wanted it to be clear! I'm sure Audrey'll be stunned to get knocked up and put her dreams on hold, and it's not like she has a mate or anything.

[A reach around way of implying Junko does have one.]

That sounds like you're talking down on your friend a little, Junko.

[ That said, he laughs that off as he tries - hard - to parse out what sh's even saying, what she's trying to tell him here. He wants to communicate better with Junko, but there are times when the two of them are more alike than not and those times are often the worst. And so he looks down at his tea and then back up at her.

He recalls how Nariko singled Junko out as a non-target. How Emily dismissed it. And now Junko too. ]

Are you telling me not to try and you felt the need to tell me up front? Also just so we're clear, you're not going to run off with that Ethan boy. [ He has no idea if she still talks with him, but. ]

I am, she's losing the 4.0 she worked so hard for.

[It probably sounds incredibly harsh, but it's important to remember that, over the course of the last four months or so, she's seen her friend turn into a completely different person. There are a lot of different complications that come with that simple fact.] And she won't admit it but she's got a pretty intense maternal instinct that I'm apparently lacking at the moment.

[So, y'know, if Audrey wants to put stuff on pause that's okay! But Junko doesn't think her intellect should go to waste for motherhood, either.]

I'm not with him anymore. [When she blushes it makes her face glow. That she'd ever pick Ethan over a man like Rin is just insane.] But, I just mean that it might not be best to try with me. Anyone else isn't really my business.

[ 4.0? Shit man, he was always more of a low B student himself. Still, he hums a t this, trying to parse through her response... and then deciding not to over-think it. He reaches his hand out to brush the top of her head. He ruffles her hair, and he smiles ]

Audrey should know she can take a week off whenever she wants, not just when she bribes someone needlessly.

[ and he would hope everything off is her own choice. ]

But so noted, no pregnant Junko.

guess who totally forgot she hasn't gone through all that with Rin yet!!! yay awful memory

rofl we can fudge the timeline it's cool, it's cool. Rin showed up early magic handwaves

you sure? she has to talk to him with or without rin but that discussion could be fun too? Up to you

Yeah why not? We can consolidate like this and it'll probably make it all the better for it.

okay!
