[ it has been a whirlwind few months since the fateful night they were brought back together again, intimately, repeatedly, each finally understanding more of the other, and breaking down walls long-built.
however, time waits for no man, and it's business as usual in the shindo household. politicians and law enforcement must be bought off and run, and there are many other things to do to ensure that ainosuke achieves what he intends to, firmly in the seat of unshakeable power and influence. of course, tadashi remains loyal by his side -- but this time as partner more than pet, moving his own chess pieces to ensure that ainosuke's work is furthered and undeterred.
of course, on the domestic front, things are changing slowly but surely. they are gradually drawing closer, opening up to each other, and while the poison in ainosuke's veins will take years to purge, progress is progress. then there is skating, there is s, the slow and gradual addition of people they might consider friends, even though they are rightfully leery of ainosuke. there is also the path to redemption and the rediscovery of skating all over again, a sport that tadashi has only recently realised that he misses for its own sake.
he's still snake, for now, but perhaps that will change in time. he's found that he quite enjoys skating with adam, and s hasn't quite recovered from adam's newfound trend of not hitting someone he's skating with.
tonight is a good night for everyone involved; the prelude to the weekend with everything of note completed and pending responses from various stakeholders and pawns alike, and once tadashi dutifully finishes his report, he reaches the last item on his agenda, the curiously immense bouquet of roses with no recipient mentioned. he supposes he'll have to make one last trip out tonight before drawing a proper warm bath for ainosuke -- he'll pencil that in. it's not out of ainosuke's nature to make romantic overtures, and their relationship is still a secret, after all. tadashi won't let anyone compromise ainosuke's work for his sake. ]
And one last thing, may I know whom this is for? I can make a delivery to their home this evening.
domesticity + kisses
