[ Junpei had been in the kitchen, but the sound of veggies hitting the floor has him in the front room in an instant. His eyes go wide as he scrambles to pick up the cucumbers, trying to resist the strong urge to just start feasting on them right off the ground. ]
There’s so many! You didn’t have to get this much!
[Huffy noises, with his arms full of cukes.] That's different.
[It's not, at all. But Natsume will reach out with his tail to coil it around Junpei's arm and gently tug him back for a cheek smooch.] Aslo: hello. How are you?
Three and a half hours. [Natsume corrects this loftily, ears twitching a couple times at the scritches. Then he's scooping up the cucumbers and going to wash them, letting his tail drag up over Junpei's arm and shoulder. Flirty tail.]
[ It makes a shiver run through Junpei’s body as he follows after, a dreamy smile forming on his face that he would say was goofy if he could see it. ]
Can I help you somehow? I mean ... I know you said you just need to wash them, but ...
[Natsume is getting better at keeping his tail coordinated, reaching out to open the cupboard with it so he can grab the colander. Just -- helping himself to all the kitchen doodads.]
You can sit. [So bossy!] I'm making lunch. And no peeking in my bag.
[A very good bunny. Natsume rummages through the cupboards, gathering together some leftovers -- mostly vegetables that he remembers buying, a few things that he's going to pretend were not stolen from someone's garden. He's not a good cook, but salads are easy. Just put a bunch of stuff in a bowl.
Then he smiles brightly over his shoulder, refusing to be dissuaded.] Of course. The cucumbers were on the way here, and in my bag is what I made yesterday. Or, ah, what I've been working on. I've tested it, it should work very well. But you have to be patient, because I can't cut lettuce and show you at the same time.
[ To Junpei’s credit there is legal produce that Henry brings him as well! Not all unaccounted for items are bunny crimes! Maybe a single tomato or two. ]
Tested it?
[ He’s even more curious about what it could be. With Natsume his first inclination is something to wear, but maybe it’s also food? His nose wiggles as he thinks over the possibilities, as it tends to nowadays when he’s deep in his thoughts. ]
[Natsume is distracted enough by the cute nose-wiggling that he almost cuts his finger instead of the cucumber. But no, not allowed, no bleeding on a birthday.]
No, no, I tested it. I was the guinea pig, I suppose. [It was a very imperfect kind of testing. He ran into a lot of trees.] Are we-- um, are you out of cilantro?

It’s just made me think a lot this last week. About what I even am anymore.
no subject
What do you mean?
no subject
I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be worrying you with thoughts like this. I wish I was more normal.
no subject
It makes me feel better that you trust me enough to share things with me, even if they're sad or frightening.
I'd rather you tell me than try to handle it all on your own.

Well. Good. I'm glad.
I DID make you something, though. Can I bring it over?
no subject
no subject
No, I already had it made, this is a coincidence.
no subject
Sure, I'm here.
no subject
Okay, on my way. I need to buy more thread, do you need anything?

But then his arms are full so it takes some readjusting and muttering before he can get the door open.] Gotta just -- get this -- the knob --
[Happy birthday, Junpei, your entryway is full of spilled cucumbers now.]
no subject
There’s so many! You didn’t have to get this much!
no subject
[He sees your bunny urges.]

I eat things out of the woods all the time but all right, let’s go to the kitchen.

[It's not, at all. But Natsume will reach out with his tail to coil it around Junpei's arm and gently tug him back for a cheek smooch.] Aslo: hello. How are you?

We woke up together this morning. It’s only been a couple hours.

There’s more than the cucumbers? Natsume ...

Am I more of a guinea pig today, then?
[ Just a little fond teasing. ]
no subject
No, no, I tested it. I was the guinea pig, I suppose. [It was a very imperfect kind of testing. He ran into a lot of trees.] Are we-- um, are you out of cilantro?
[Whoops, almost slipped up there, kiddo.]
no subject
I ... if there’s none in the cupboard, I guess I must be. Is it important? Should I go get some?
