[The scritches continue! Even as Kagami rolls into his hand more.]
Hun, I don't bottom and I'd wreck you as a top. It'd be irresponsible of me to give you a chance at random even if you was sober. Take you at least a few days of workin' up there, I promise you that.
[sorry if anyone expected chipp to have any shame whatsoever]
... You done eatin'? Think I'll ask to get all this wrapped up and take you back to the house. I'm surprised you still conscious - you drink weird, supernatural stuff on the regular?
[Chipp's quiet for a moment, half-staring at Kagami as he waves for a server to come over and help with that whole wrapping up thing - But the scratches continue regardless.]
How old are you, hun? Don't gotta be specific - you can gimme a range, 'long as you're honest about it.
... Twenty-one. Though I been twenty-one for a couple years now.
[It's surprising how genuine that look on Kagami's face seems to be... he's been nothing but facade after facade since Chipp called him out, but this? This is surprisingly nice. A stranger trusting him so much like this.
It also proves to him that Kagami's nice and pliable. Always good to know. :)
The scritches continue further, even as the server starts helping them get everything packed up in bags to take home.]
[All of this earns Kagami a wheeze of a laugh, and he roughly ruffles Kagami's hair before finally pulling away his hand. Mostly so he can put his helmet back on.]
Ain't callin' you old - you the baby, if you ask me. Gettin' wasted off of one flask of this shit. C'mon - can you stand? I'll carry ya if you need it.
[No!! The head rubs! Kagami reaches out and gives up, slowly pulling himself to his feet.]
Can I have more later? Of course I can st--
[He in fact, cannot stand for long. As soon as Kagami tries to walk, he loses his balance and stumbles, colliding right into Chipp's chest with an embarrassed giggle. Whether or not it's sincere is another question entirely.]
[Kagami faceplants into Chipp's chest, and in return, Chipp's hands are instantly at his shoulders to hold him steady. For the second, at least, because -]
Awright, fella, let's get you on home...
[- He's just as quick to reach under Kagami's arms and scoop him up, tossing him over his non-mechanic shoulder like a sack of flour. As for the leftovers? Anything Chipp can't carry in his free hand is, instead, being carried through the air via his magic. Though, Kagami might have to deal with a bit of hair static thanks to that. Just a little.]
We gotta nice couch in the living room, real soft-soft, great for nappin' through the afternoon - you okay with that?
You don't gotta prove nothin' to no one, hun. I know who I am.
[With that, he jostles Kagami a little on his shoulder - half to make the hold a bit comfier on himself, half just to fuck with the little guy.]
... Who I am is someone who ain't gonna take advantage of you bein' wasted, too. Settle yourself down, ouais? I'll get you stuff that'll sober you up real quick.
[Who said chivalry is dead? Or something like that.]
[... Considering Chipp's voice is stuck in a permanent state of hoarseness like he's injured his vocal chords somehow, the idea that he has a "nice voice" is one he's gonna be mulling over the entire way home. Because seriously, what?? He can't even sing on tune, c'mon.
Once he manages to get up to the house, though, he waits for a second for the topiaries protecting the gate to recognize him -]
Yeah, we home.
[- Before trotting into the big ol' houses big ol' yard up to the front door, swinging that open with his magic just thanks to his hands being as full as they are.]
I think I get why Nenett likes ya. You're a real hoot once you ain't keepin' track of what face you wearin'! Whatcha say your name was again?
[Kagami stops hiding his face long enough to see the house. He's been here before, but--]
Who grew those topi-- the tall plants? Was it Nenonen?
[And then he groans, dramatic as possible, collapsing back on Chipp's shoulder.]
Kagami. My name is Kagami...Chipp, I don't know what to do! I used to be so cool and callous, and now whenever I think of Nenonen my heart gets warm and fuzzy and I'm an idiot.
Nah, I think the doc bought'em. They some shit from Riki's li'l shop - some sorta house guardians, I guess. Only let folks we want through.
[And there is definitely a (digitally added) smile in his voice, now that he's finally gotten what he'd been looking for.]
Kagami, huh... nice name. I'll make sure to keep it in mind. Don't worry 'bout that, though - that there is how you supposed to feel with Nenett. Just part o' their charm. No one can resist'em for too long.
I mean, look at me... just 'cause I get goofy over'em don't mean I ain't cracked open someone's ribs when I got the chance.
Shigeru is so attractive and dumb too. His ass is very nice. I think I might adore him...
[Not that Chipp can see, but he's wearing a big, stupid grin when he hears the compliment.]
I suppose you're right. If Nenonen could fight, they would be too powerful. And yet here they are, protecting me. [...] Do you plan to crack some ribs anytime soon?
[Another little wheeze-laugh at Kagami's goofiness - though it's matched up with a round of light-hearted beeps from Chipp's helmet, as if it's filling in for Chipp's own inability to actually laugh. (Because it is. That's the point of that.)]
You really are so head-over-heels with everyone, ain'tcha? You like one o' them stray cats, runnin' up to butt your head against damn near anyone's ankles. I like it.
But naw, got no one in mind for somethin' like that anytime soon. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell ya. Gotta do that kinda shit on the down-low, where the others won't hear about it... pissed everyone off big time last time I did.
no subject
And he flops down, resting his face on Chipp’s hand while peering up at him with an idiotic smile.]
I get to sleep together at your place? [He’s not subtle.] Can I see the wall of husbands in 3D?
no subject
[That's a far more genuine sentiment, this time. And to match, Chipp can't quite help reaching out to ruffle Kagami's hair with his free hand.]
Ain't gonna be my place-my place. Just the house.
I live in the shed, me; Nenett might getta kick outta seein' you asleep in their bed, though!
no subject
Don't stop. Kagami leans into Chipp's hand, looking saddened and deep in thought.]
...Would you sleep together in the shed? [Or--] We could surprise Nenonen!!
no subject
You tryna get lucky with me? Is that what I'm hearin'?
Maybe I shouldn't have let you had that drink...
no subject
Maaaybe? Do you think I’m lucky today?
What do you mean? This drink is delightful and you should let me have more—
[He stops. Reaches up and swats at the colorful sounds he’s hallucinating.]
no subject
Hun, I don't bottom and I'd wreck you as a top. It'd be irresponsible of me to give you a chance at random even if you was sober.
Take you at least a few days of workin' up there, I promise you that.

no subject
Mn…? Do I get to eat more later? [He smiles coyly.] I might. I’m surprised I’m not dead yet!
no subject
[Chipp's quiet for a moment, half-staring at Kagami as he waves for a server to come over and help with that whole wrapping up thing -
But the scratches continue regardless.]
How old are you, hun?
Don't gotta be specific - you can gimme a range, 'long as you're honest about it.
no subject
I’m a little over three hundred. How old are you? It’s only fair now that you know my age~
no subject

This is surprisingly nice. A stranger trusting him so much like this.

The scritches continue further, even as the server starts helping them get everything packed up in bags to take home.]
You almost twice Nenett's age! You know that?
no subject
[He does a poor job of hiding his giggles behind his palm.
He is very pliable. And very happy.]
I suppose with all my worldly exper-- Why are you pointing that out?! Are you calling me old?!
no subject
Mostly so he can put his helmet back on.]
Ain't callin' you old - you the baby, if you ask me. Gettin' wasted off of one flask of this shit.
C'mon - can you stand? I'll carry ya if you need it.

[He in fact, cannot stand for long. As soon as Kagami tries to walk, he loses his balance and stumbles, colliding right into Chipp's chest with an embarrassed giggle. Whether or not it's sincere is another question entirely.]
Everything is moving in the best way...
no subject
For the second, at least, because -]
Awright, fella, let's get you on home...

no subject
[Kagami tries to keep his eyes open, but everything spins. He ends up squeezing them shut and digging his hands into Chipp's cloak.]
Soft...soft like you? You're a big. Soft. Dumb...hot-- Did you want me to prove otherwise? That you haven't gone soft?
no subject
I know who I am.
[With that, he jostles Kagami a little on his shoulder - half to make the hold a bit comfier on himself, half just to fuck with the little guy.]
... Who I am is someone who ain't gonna take advantage of you bein' wasted, too.

[Who said chivalry is dead? Or something like that.]
no subject
[Kagami flails and then grips Chipp's cloak for dear life, bringing the fabric up to bury his face in it.]
Why would I want to be...ooh, when I'm sober, will you finally wreck me?! I'm glad that Nenonen has you.
no subject
Somethin' tells me you ain't gonna be this much of a horndog when you sober, though.
'Least, not for me.
[Off they go!! Time to haul Kagami's ass all the way to Amberfell!!]
no subject
[Kagami spends most of the trip either trying horrible pickup lines on Chipp or singing pop songs obnoxiously off pitch.]
Are we home yet? Mn...home is a weird word. It feels funny.
no subject
Because seriously, what?? He can't even sing on tune, c'mon.
Once he manages to get up to the house, though, he waits for a second for the topiaries protecting the gate to recognize him -]
Yeah, we home.

But Kagami's smile falls and he sounds very sober all of the sudden.]
I'm not a cat.
Aww, but I want to be useful! And I wouldn't tell anyone. I would hate to see Nenonen or Shigeru sad, after all.
