[ he shakes his head as he heads over to the kitchen. he'll grab his apron and put it on, going to the fridge afterwards to grab some things that he can make ]
Just relax. I'll make your favourite.
[ look, this is what happens when you're at home. jouhei will spoil you and give you good food like fish and soup but then he pauses all of a sudden and reaches into his pocket. he pulls out his old nokia phone and holds it out to nanashi ]
... can you add yourself to "speed dial"? I don't know how.
[ so nanashi doesn't have to feel super useless while he sits around but also because haha jouhei and technology... ]
Really? You're the best! [Nanashi gets up and jumps like an excited three year old. Okay, he'll go help Jouhei and poke around on his phone. It takes about two minutes for Nanashi to finish up.]
Just hit this button and it's good to go. Is that all you need?
[This is Jouhei and technology. There could be more things that need fixing for all he knows.]
[ wtf nanashi is cute but thank you, little cousin, for doing that for him. he nods in thanks and takes back the phone, sliding it in his pocket while cooking. honestly, the meal should be done soon, it doesn't take that long to make miso soup and fry fish. ]
Show me how you did that later. It didn't come with a manual.
[ because he fucking bought this phone for 50cents at goodwill's bargain bin. it's a miracle it even works ]
[ he kind of gives a half-nod half-shrug in response. it's easy enough to understand but he probably would forget how to do it later. he didn't particularly grow up with a lot of technology, asides from farm equipment, so this isn't something he can grasp very easily, but he appreciates nanashi's help in the meanwhile ]
Thank you.
[ he will probably ask nanashi again later but anyway, still cooking! he will probably finish in a few tags later blah blah blah let's change the subject because he wants to know about this... ]
[Why does Jouhei keep on asking these simple yet difficult questions? Nanashi's not gonna hide anything from his cousin after coming this far. He takes in a deep breath and tries to CALM.]
I did a lot of things? I went to go look for some answers and found some.
[ because he needs to KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. also he nods because he understands having to find answers on your own. it's kind of a rite of passage, isn't it? ]
[ jouhei would have answered nanashi's question but there is something way more pressing here. he actually stops cooking for a second to turn his head to stare at nanashi with That Look ]
[ you'd think there'd be a pinch but... jouhei is honestly just glad that nanashi is safe and glad that he was honest with him so while he reaches over... he just pats nanashi on the head then looks back at his cooking ]
[ omg how cute... fistbump to the side. let's have nanashi and jouhei fistbump in the near future. jouhei actually knows how to do it and it's embarrassing ]
Work was the same. Animals do not change despite all that's happened in the city.
[ so he doesn't really have to worry about it affecting work. it's a whole other story if nanashi wants him to, like, do vet work on his demons. maybe jouhei could help but there's not much to do ]
... it was more difficult to work when they were invisible, though.
[ green really does seem like nanashi's colour or at least that's what jouhei thinks. also, i will say that jouhei didn't use his brush that much last month because of ~reason~ ]
[ he supposes that nanashi does have a point. the animals who were painted and brought to the clinic didn't have any problems. the paint is non-toxic and the pets didn't seem to notice anything different about them so he guesses that it'll be okay. still sucks that they need paint these animals in weird colours... but anyway, moving on! ]
[ jouhei is pretty much done preparing the quick dinner that he made for nanashi and he starts putting everything on a plate ad bowl. he'll start bringing them over to the dining table, moving back and forth from the kitchen as he brings in side dishes, rice, water, and all that stuff. ]
[ jouhei will take off his apron before he goes over to sit at the table with nanashi. he's already eaten so he's not very hungry. he'll just sit and talk with his cousin while maybe eating a few of his strawberry candies :9 ]
I'll cook for you whenever you want.
[ it's something that jouhei really doesn't mind. cooking and cleaning is something that he's just used to doing ]
[ jouhei is one of those early dinner eaters. he eats early, sleeps early, and wakes up early, that's who he is. he does pull out a few of those strawberry candies from his pockets, though, setting them on the table and unwrapping one to eat. nanashi can have one for dessert when he finishes his meal ]

[ look, maybe he was a little hurt that nanashi decided to fuck off. rely on him too, child, he's agreed out of his own will to take care of you ]
no subject
[Let's be real here, Nanashi's always weird. He just got a little self conscious about it. Welp.]
I think I can face people again so I won't run off again.
[He'll stay here unless Jouhei kicks him out for some reason.]
no subject
No matter what, though, you'll still be family to me.
[ even if you're gross or weird, jouhei will care for u. the other family back in japan though? nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. anyWAY ]
Sit down. I'll prepare dinner.
no subject
[ That might actually happen because he has no control over his summoning powers. Hopefully Jouhei won't mind having extra company??? RIP. ]
What are you going to prepare? Do you need help?
[ He doesn't want to let Jouhei do all the work!]
no subject
Just relax. I'll make your favourite.

Was that easy to understand? You get used to doing it so it won't be hard for you later.
[Practice using your phone, Jouhei.]
no subject
Thank you.
[ he will probably ask nanashi again later but anyway, still cooking! he will probably finish in a few tags later blah blah blah let's change the subject because he wants to know about this... ]
What did you do while you were gone?
[ did you get into trouble ]
no subject
I did a lot of things? I went to go look for some answers and found some.
[This is such a vague response...]
Sorry, I had to do it alone.
no subject
Did you run into trouble?
no subject
A bunch of strangers found me sleeping outside one day...I was so tired, Jouhei.
[This child slept outside like a hobo. That's just asking for trouble,but thankfully he didn't get into too much of it.]
I find it hard to sleep properly at night. Are you ever like that?
no subject
You slept outside?
no subject
[Nanashi's bracing himself for a pinch.]
That could have been avoided if I had just stayed home with you....
no subject
Don't let it happen again.
no subject
[Nanashi gives Jouhei a fistbump to the side.]
You were okay too? No trouble at work?
[HE'S ALSO WORRIED ABOUT HIS COUSIN.]
no subject

no subject
[He's still not sure how to feel about these strangely colored items and animals.]
When you need help with painting things back, tell me? I've got a green brush!
[At this point he's sick of green but what can he do.]
no subject
... seems cruel to paint them.
[ "them" = animals ]
no subject
It's not really a good thing...We need to see them somehow. That way we can take care of the animals better.
[The colors don't appear to be harmful in anyway so Nanashi doesn't mind.]
no subject

Sit down. Food's ready.
no subject
Thank you for preparing everything. I'm happy I can share meals with you again.
[He was looking forward to this okay!!]
no subject
I'll cook for you whenever you want.
[ it's something that jouhei really doesn't mind. cooking and cleaning is something that he's just used to doing ]
So don't eat unmicrowaved frozen food.
no subject
Just plenty of instant meals. They're never as good as the ones you make.
[Because this meal is made with Jouhei's love and care, there is nothing that'll top that.]
You aren't going to eat?
no subject
I already ate.
[ jouhei is one of those early dinner eaters. he eats early, sleeps early, and wakes up early, that's who he is. he does pull out a few of those strawberry candies from his pockets, though, setting them on the table and unwrapping one to eat. nanashi can have one for dessert when he finishes his meal ]
