Ritsuka finished tying his shoe and, that scowl still twisting his lips, he reaches over to take the container of gelato from Soubi. It was cold in his hands, condensation leaving a smear of cool water across his fingertips. He spooned some of the gelato into his mouth, ears perking at the sweetness of it.

He'd stopped looking at him, but he could feel Soubi walking beside him. Like he always could these days. He didn't need to touch him or see him to know that Soubi was there and as loathe as he was to admit it, Ritsuka knew that he needed and was needed.

He didn't even want to think about it.

So instead, he ate his gelato, keeping his thoughts on the cold and the movie.

"It's going to melt if you don't eat it," he flicked his eyes to the bowl in Soubi's hand, his tail twitching behind him.

Soubi looked down at the melting dessert suddenly, startled, as consuming it had been the last thing on his mind. He nodded, and upon the command the boy gave, began to eat the Hazelnut concoction, letting it dissolve on his tongue before swallowing.

He continued walking, idly, watching Ritsuka from the corner of his vision, a subtle growing on his face as moments passed. With his hair, tied back in a loose ponytail and fluttering lightly in the breeze, the older man looked happy, content as they continued their path back to the apartment. Back home.

It was when pale eyes skirted the edge of the sidewalk, winding their way up the path, when he spotted, narrowly in the distance, a redheaded figure lazily wandering towards them. The blond man stopped in his tracks. Eyes narrowed when recognition did not come, yet familiarity tugged.

Who..?

[inthecenterfold]

The redhead wouldn't have recognized the other man either had he not very distinctly tracked the redhead's movements and narrowed his eyes at him.

His feet stepped together and their gazes met before he finally dropped his jaw in recognition. "Soubi... is that y-" He whipped his head back where he'd come from and continued speaking, still stunned, "I just came from th' apartment!" His face started breaking into a smile.

[malaisetrap]

Soubi blinked. And then blinked again. The redheaded man was the last thing on Earth he had expected that lazy Sunday evening. Aside from the fact that Sha had left months before like there was something, somewhere, that had been on fire, it was just strange to see him in the full light of the dwindling afternoon.

Attractive as he was, there was something striking and strangely disettling about the man, despite feline grace, remarkable feature. Soubi's eyes took him in, all of him in, before the fierceness of his expression, that protectiveness dropped.

"Sha." A smile tweaked at the corners of his face. "Are you back in town, or..?"

Soubi looked better than he had before, better than he had in years, in fact: pale eyes framed by a new haircut to his blond locks, lithe form dressed in clothes that were no longer too big on his body.
