crescentview | Closed Starters for Yuri Lowell [ Feb

[ 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?? ]

[ Oh, this is more efficient cuddling. Flynn looks down at Yuri with a little grin of victory, and then over at Judith. Everything about his expression is just radiating "we did it!!" ]

Of course. Both of us know you too well. I'm glad you understand, Judith.

[ Flynn slings an arm over Yuri to keep him right there. ]

Mm. It's not a difficult thing.

[ She smiles back at Flynn, leaning into him as she rubs her hand over Yuri's leg. Sometimes, Yuri plays right into their hands a little too well ]

[ The most effective and efficient cuddling...Yuri himself can't help but let out an amused, but short laugh of sorts. ]

I'm going to get back at the both of you. I hope you two know that.

[ He can sense their smugness a mile away, even as he's enveloped in both of their cuddling, as well as loving touch, and everything that entails. ]

You know that's not much of a threat after all these years.

[ What's Yuri going to do, get into his sock drawer and mismatch everything? The menace. The horror.

Flynn winds his fingers distractedly through Yuri's hair, his expression content. His thoughts keep drifting back to the idea that he can still have this after they return; a cozy home somewhere, a cuddle pile whenever they all manage to cross paths in the same city. It still feels a little unreal. ]

Oh, I don't know. It sounds a little scary.

[Judith is smiling as she rests her head against Flynn's shoulder and rubs her hand over Yuri's leg absentmindedly. She could get used to this. Anchor points to remind her when she needs to come home. She likes the idea of that]

[ Maybe he WILL mismatch everything. Whatcha gonna do about it, huh?

...Okay, that's not very threatening. He will definitely take the attention served to him well, though. ]

Judith knows what she's talking about. Better watch out.

[ He says despite closing his eyes, evidently basking in the moment. ]

Edited 2023-03-18 23:51 (UTC)

I know Judith and I could take you.

[ And he's not in the least convinced that Judith is scared by that at all. He gives a soft skeptical snort and closes his eyes as he leans his cheek on Judith's hair. He has about a million things to plan for their wedding after this. But for right now, they can all rest a little. ]

[Judith laughs, soft and light as she lets herself get comfortable.]

Mm. Don't cause too much trouble or I'll have to come up with my own plans.

[Judith would secretly enjoy mismatched things, if only to see everyone's faces. As long as no one messed with her showers, she was happy]

[ Fortunately, showers will be safe. Yuri likes those two, with as long as his hair happens to be... ]

I don't know, I'm more than a handful when I get out of control. You two would have to work double-time in order to get me to behave.

[ Sometimes, taking it easy is a valid course of action as well. Who wants to bet that Flynn is the one to take care of the little details Yuri and Judith might say 'don't sweat it' about? ]

And you think I won't? I think you should worry more about what Judith getting creative would look like.

[ Flynn, at least, still has what he considers to be a very healthy amount of respectful fear/awe of Judith's potential. But he's probably undermining the little threat with a deeply contented sigh. ]

[Judith smiles, her eyes going bright]

I think I could be quite good at enforcing discipline.

[Since apparently, she was that type of person according to Ellis]
