so as mentioned, it is in fact raining in shibuya. the lights are bright in the city, shops still open, people wandering through, but the blue door sits at the top of the stairs at the side of 104.
when vax comes in, the apartment's a little dark. there's thumping around in tora's room, like the tiger is occupying herself, and riff himself is bundled up in a blanket burrito on the couch with his phone and something playing on the tv. there's a small pile of records on the couch, salvaged from shalegate.]
...there's towels in the bathroom if you want to dry off.
[ yeah sometimes you just have a big emotional conversation and need to see someone irl!! phones are dumb actually
anyway, predictably, vax is soaking wet when he enters the door - he pulls his hood back, but otherwise doesn't seem to mind too much, trodding over boots and all with a, ] Nah.
[ and then just draping over riff over the top of the couch in a (wet) hug. ]
not that it matters. it doesn't matter because vax is draping over him and riff's arms are moving to return the gesture. sometimes you are emotionally tapped out but express appreciation anyway. ]
You're gonna have to explain this to me a hundred times over.
[ but as he releases, with a deep breath, in and out, he will go fetch a towel, toe out of his boots, and then come flop down on the couch next to him, grabbing for a blanket to toss it over them both fairly unceremoniously. ]
[subconsciously, maybe, he actually follows that breathing pattern for a second and then vax is off to get a towel. blankets...and a vax. he's pretty okay with this even as he's clicking through to start over from episode one.]
It's pretty easy if you just don't ask about all of the subplots and how many episodes there actually are.
[ as he's toweling off his hair and tosses the towel half assed on the ground (he'll pick it up later, probably) vax settles down, peering back at the tv. it's still just wild they can - watch shit like this, like it's nothing, frankly, let alone considering the idea of 'episodes' or 'subplots' so he just nods along. ]
Trust me, I'm not gonna ask. [ but otherwise, just pulls the blanket up and tucks them both sort of half in. time to be slugs on the couch and watch some alchemists. ] Let it roll.
[we can call this one a wrap because a lot of things are happening but this is just to establish that a.) he's letting himself lean against vax and b.) he will occasionally explain what's actually going on in each episode and vax doesn't get to leave for at least six episodes.]

he just loops his arms around him kinda comfortably and squeezes, then rests his chin on his head. ]
Mhm.
