crescentview | Closed Starters for Yuri Lowell [ Feb

That's gonna be a load off of our backs if you can get him to show some restraint. No need for any grand spectacles where this is all concerned.

[ Anything with simply the people they care about attending, but a heartfelt celebration is all they need. Yuri isn't overtly fond of too much attention, as per the usual.

Just nty. But, he's actually looking forward to this thing. A bit surprisingly, even to him, though that is an indication of how much it means to him. As well as the people it will involve; you know, the ones in this very room. ]

Well, it'd be good to bring the old guy around, then.

[ As for any specifics on Yuri's part, it's obvious. No need for anything to be said. Though he's already thinking of the well-intentioned, fond teasing that will come from Hanks and the other folks... ]

[ Flynn, thinking along the same lines, tosses a smile over at Yuri. One arm still around Judith's waist, he reaches for Yuri's arm to pull him down for another cheek kiss. Maybe he's not done with that yet when he's still so happy. ]

I wonder if he'll get along well with Hanks. It would be nice to get everyone together for a bit.

[ How much will Yuri complain if Flynn invites Leblanc and his men? Well, he can work out the guest list for home later. ]

This place first. Um... I'm glad this isn't just so we can all go home.

[ Judith smiles at both Flynn and Yuri, on an odd sort of high. She never thought she'd be fine with being tied down at all. But between the three of them, she feels steadier than ever.]

Did you really think I'd agree to this just to leave?

[ Thoughtless, Flynn]

[ Wow, ensuring that Yuri's going to be remaining sentimental for more than five seconds huh. How could y'all do this to him...anyway, he snorts when he receives another cheek kiss, but you better believe he's not going to be complaining from more affection.

It's funny. He never imagined that he would see himself as somebody who'd like this sort of thing. Yet, here he is, with both Flynn and Judith, enjoying it without reserve. ]

Maybe he would.

[ As for the other matter... ]

I'm with Judy, of course. But, you know what? I'm not surprised you'd be the worrywart of us three.

[ Fond teasing, of course. ]

You mean that I'm the practical one.

[ Yuri's allowed to tease, but that doesn't mean that Flynn won't take a little swipe back. Even if he's still holding onto Yuri, letting his hand slide down Yuri's arm to twine their fingers together instead.

This isn't the best place for cuddling. But Flynn is nothing if not resourceful. Also just realizing that in his little counter-jab at Yuri he may have miscalculated. ]

Er... Of course, you're very practical too, Judith.

I'm glad you know that.

[Judith's eyes shine with mischief. She hums in agreement, and glances at Yuri slyly. She doesn't need to take sides in this bickering, but she's already gotten plenty of teasing at Flynn's expense, so]

It would take two of us to balance out Yuri's ideas.

[Does Yuri have a couch? Blanket? All three of them are not fitting in this chair]

[ Wow, y'all be making sure Yuri can't un-sentimental himself out of this one huh? Jokes aside, he finds himself still content to be held in this threesome sort-of-cuddle pile...albeit, like, awkward. Due to the logistics and impossibility of fitting three people into a small seat.

He does, also, like give Flynn's hand a light squeeze once he feels their fingers intertwined, though. ]

Oh, thanks. Now the both of you are ganging up on me.

[ A dry tone. But anyways, he considers something because this is not going to be real comfortable. ]

...Food's also getting cold, but we can pretty much move over to the living room if we're gonna be, you know, cuddling up to each other.

Edited 2023-03-05 01:53 (UTC)

[ Sentimentality will continue for as long as Flynn is emotionally compromised. Which could be a while. He gives Yuri an absolutely besotted look when Yuri squeezes his hand. ]

We're just getting you used to what you can look forward to in the future.

[ He can already foresee a very productive alliance with Judith. But Flynn startles a little guiltily at the reminder. Normally he'd never forget about Yuri's cooking, but there was a lot going on. ]

Should we eat first? It would be a shame to waste it...

[ But he does want those cuddles, conundrum. ]

[That's a cute expression on the two of you. Judith smiles, sliding off Flynn's lap. They can continue this once the food is handed out]

It would be a shame to let the food get too cold.

[ She'll help with serving it up]

[ Oh my god. Him and Judith are going to be the end of him.

Though the blond's besotted look might be the first catalyst towards his doom. Inescapable sentimentality here we come! Jokes aside, though... ]

I'll try to get used to it. There's no guarantees, though.

[ Yuri says casually as he moves to finally distribute the plates with the right portions to both Judith and Flynn. But then he'll gesture towards the living room. ]

C'mon. How about we eat over at the couch? There's a table nearby too.

[ Yuri's been busy, ensuring that his house has actually a rather decent amount of furniture, so. ]

You're adaptable. I have faith in you.

[ Flynn brightens a little at the compromise and nods, shooting an only slightly regretful glance after Judith. Well, there should be room in his lap again when they're done eating. Or room in Yuri's lap. There are possibilities. ]

You've really cleaned the place up. ...I wonder if I should ask the Goddess if it would be possible to move? It's only for a few more weeks, but it's a little strange to be the only one far away.

[ Flynn heads for the couch with his plate, settling down and looking up at both of them with a patently hopeful expression. ]

[ Well, like Flynn said, she is a practical woman. She can't sit on any laps while they're eating. So she'll squish into the space next to Flynn, leaving just enough room for Yuri next to her]

I'm sure you're strong enough to carry your bed across the island.

[ There's also Ba'ul, but she wants to see Flynn's reaction to that proposal first]

I guess I should be grateful for your vote of confidence.

[ Yuri says that, but he's not anywhere near actually offended.

Anyways, he'll go ahead and nab his portion to follow straight into the living room, settling into the space easily left by Judith. ]

Well, if you wanna move, you can. Whether you want to ask the goddess or just want to do it without asking her.

[ He doesn't make the suggestion about Ba'ul helping carry his bed over because he also wants to see Flynn's reaction. ]

[ Flynn blinks a little, pausing mid-mouthful of curry as he turns that over in his mind. Is it because of the thing about carrying the bed?

Well. He could probably carry the bed, but. ]

You mean you wouldn't mind me sharing a house with you? ...Either of you?

[ He was going to ask the goddess for a different place, but this is. Hm. He's a little flustered, actually. Yes, they're getting married, but cohabiting is a completely different step, and also completely different from living together while not engaged. ]

Should I?

[Judith was lucky enough not to be forced to share with a stranger. But Flynn wasn't a stranger now, was he?]

We might as well practice, for when we return home.

[Flynn's expression sure is cute]

[ Yuri's finally partaking in the food himself more as the other two chat. He isn't surprised to hear of the worries Flynn has, and so he graciously receives them like Judith does.

After, you know, he swallows his portion. ]

Why would we be weirded out about it?

[ It'd be like old times, as far as he's concerned. With the addition of Judith.

Cohabitation is nothing new to Yuri, and unsurprisingly, he doesn't think too hard about it. That's what usually Flynn is for, between the both of them. ]

I thought you'd at least complain about me being a neat freak, or something along those lines.

[ Flynn lets out a quiet laugh and shakes his head. He was already emotionally compromised by the idea of them both seeing him as home. His two lone wolf friends making room for him like that is just one more thing for him to be quietly pleased about. Without thinking too hard about it, he leans himself a little against Judith's side. ]

I like neat people.

[Judith's eyes sparkle. Not that Yuri was all that messy as an adult. They've shared plenty of rooms together. She lets Flynn press against her as she finishes her food, leaning forward briefly to put her empty bowl on the table]

Oh yeah, of course I'm going to complain about when you'll eventually nag me for not being clean enough. That's a given.

[ Yuri's saying, very helpfully. Though, it's all in good humor—he's used to Flynn's motherhen tendencies by now by far.

How could he not be? He's known the other male practically all his life. But does it mean that he's opposed to living with him again? Not at all. He's just going to be himself and a menace. It creates some extra liveliness in their lives! Heh, liveliness in their lives...anyways, Yuri's going to finish up his food soon enough. ]

But, it doesn't mean either of us think it's a reason not to have you around. Obviously.

[ Oh, if Judith is on his side... the possibilities of teaming up on Yuri are starting to occur to Flynn fully, and his eyes are brightening with mischief. He shoots her a slightly shy conspiratory smile over his bowl as he finishes his own curry. ]

When you start complaining, I'll remind you you said that.

[ He puts down his empty bowl, and eyes the arrangement on the couch before he reaches over Judith to tug Yuri a little closer. They can all just squish in like this? ]

Thank you. Both of you.

[Judith is very squished now. She eyes their laps speculatively. It had been surprisingly fun earlier sitting on Flynn's lap. Hmmm. She'll lean against Flynn and help him tug Yuri closer]

You're being a little strange. I haven't done anything yet. But you're welcome.

[It's cute ♥]

[ Wow?? Flynn how could you do this to him? Plotting ganging up on poor lil' him like that?! Unbelievable...

Yuri can practically feel it from a gaze like that a million miles away. But does he notice the glint? He's only human, so it escapes his notice. Though maybe he notices that smile at exactly the right time, because of course he does. ]

When you do, I'll call you the biggest nag in all of Terca Lumireis.

[ He says, smiling a little, and allows himself to be tugged closer, even leaning into it. Food's all finished, so why not indulge a little? Squish pile ftw. ]

Hey, it's not a big deal. No need for thanks or all that. And it might even be too early to be expressing gratitude when we do something that annoys the hell out of you.

[ Yuri says with good humor, but his slight mischievous smile is a little softer here. ]

[ Judith is such a good sport. Flynn gives her a little kiss on the cheek just for that — and because he can, and he's still working through a few stages of giddiness about that. She's reassured him, just like Yuri, whether she wants to brush it off or not.

Although to Yuri: ]

You mean, when you do something to annoy me. On purpose.

[ Which isn't a challenge, he swears. The soft look on Yuri's face is just as cute as the apparent satisfaction on Judith's. Flynn doesn't know how to achieve a more efficient cuddle than the squish pile they have now, but... this is pretty good, right? A good start. ]

[Judith tilts her head up to give Flynn a little smile for that kiss. That right there is fine. She's still trying to calibrate the best way for them all to be cuddling properly.

Judith also does not need to be caught in between when Flynn and Yuri try teasing each other in earnest ]

That does sound like trouble, Yuri.

[Maybe Yuri would like both their laps. Judith knows she certainly liked Flynn's lap earlier. And if Yuri doesn't want the laps, she'll take it]

[ ...

Wow. Wow. ]

Oh, I see how it is.

C'mon now, you two are just going to come at me like that, huh?

[ He sees the attack for what it is. In retrospect, maybe he can make this even better, so he will just flop down across the both of their laps.

What are you both gonna do now, eh?? ]
