The truth is I was happy to see your text today. I woke up this morning and everything was so quiet. It was unsettling. It's as though the well of inspiration I've been pulling from just dried up overnight.
I get what you mean. It's quiet here too, and while the stillness can be calming, especially when it's been way too crazy... sometimes it's just empty.
[That deafening kind of silence that emphasizes what's missing.]
Ahh, I can't sleep... That Prosecco gave me a headache. This sucks.
Huh? Like I have the time to be watching operas, idiot.
It's a wine. They were serving some at the closing party for my shoot, and I was offered a glass. It's just good manners not to turn it down at those sort of things.
That's why I... accidentally texted you. And why I'm still awake. Ugh, this is gonna be soooo bad for my skin...
You mean to tell me poor Sena was lonely and inebriated and I wasn't there to comfort him? That's awful!
No wonder things have been feeling off today. I must have known deep in my bones that I was being missed. And like a fool I didn't check until this morning!
[As if he ever regularly checks his phone.]
Should I read you a bedtime story to help you sleep? Or I could sing you a lullaby. I'll compose one right now!
Wahaha! You can admit being interested! Aliens are a fascinating topic!
Don't worry, Sena. If any of them ever tried to drag you away against your will, I'd come to your rescue! We could fight them off with the power of song, just like in the movies.
If it's between being abducted or using the power of song, love, and friendship or whatever I think I'd rather just go quietly. Changed my mind. They can have me.
[If Izumi thinks he can calm Leo down with a little face touching, then he's... absolutely right. Because Izumi is beautiful and Leo is putty. He gets flustered, stuck on half sentences.]
You can't just... [Make him out to be the fool? Because he probably is for acting like he has any claim on someone in an unestablished relationship.]
I'm gonna... [What? Threaten someone? With what, physical violence? Out of tune serenades?]
[For all of Izumi's sadistic moments, there's an undeniable sensitivity in him — a weak point that makes his outer frost melt, which Leo has long had a talent for striking, even unwittingly. There's hardly any other good explanation for having been by the other's side in this way and for all this time.
He does like troubling the other a little (a meager revenge to reverse their usual positions), but he ultimately can't keep it up for long. Any further than this and he risks causing a face he never wants Leo to make. Izumi's upper hand raises slowly to stroke back Leo's loose hair, the lower hand twisting carefully within his grip to grasp lightly back, his fingertips tapping gently against the back of Leo's hand, wordlessly encouraging him to lift his face.
His voice is as soft as his smile, whispering like a lover with a secret.]
Shoes off before you come inside. Ah~ Really, what are you so upset about? If anyone deserves to be upset right now, it's me. Did you think it was a dream or something?
[Leo does lift his head again, blinking at Izumi with a confused frown. He stares, the cogs in his brain taking far too long to get moving again. The realization is a slow one, the change in his expression just as delayed. The frown melts away and his eyes widen. He releases Izumi's wrist completely.]
[The hurt clears from Leo's face as Izumi wanted, but it's replaced by a gradual dawning as things begin to click, and suddenly Izumi is having regrets about seeing the end of this realization. He steps away again now that he's been let go, and in turns grips his own wrist lightly to self-soothe as his eyes dart to some far corner.]
You're the one who dashed out so "inspired" you had to get to a studio right away. I really, really should be so mad at you.
[But he isn't, as his behavior denotes, and he looks to Leo again out of the corner of his eye, the hint of a blush creeping up his neck.]
Ahh... No matter how much you "forgot," don't make me spell out every little thing, dumbass.
[For his part, Leo is left to think back over the previous few hours. He turns to not quite pace in a small circle, making a few random gestures with his hands as he goes. It's true that he can be forgetful and lose himself in his own little world, but some things are too important!
At last he stops, smacking one fist into the palm of his other hand as if to say aha!]
Ha! Wahaha! Haha... hah.... oh.
[He tries to laugh it off, but that just feels awkward.]
Ah... I don't want to murder myself... that's no fun.

Ah?
Oh hey, were we still talking? Sorry!
No wait, I'm not sorry. You were being rude. But I was inspired out of the blue [By his own ramblings.] and then I forgot about my phone!
Wahaha! Good thing I left the sound on! If I lose a third phone this month I'm really going to get an earful.

It's a medicine? No, it's a type of cured meat. Ah! I'm sure I know now. It's an opera!
Man, I get it. Some of those are great, but some are also really noisy. And long! Like the composers were really full of themselves.
