soo-won may be naturally affectionate but hak is not (unless it's for bullying purposes) so the careful touches make him feel some kind of way (the way is awkward). his turn to also turn a little pink. ]
[ hak being a little shit makes this easier!! it is easier to remember that soo-won really does just adore him. his thumb brushes against hak’s cheek and this time it’s purely because he wants to ]
so he’ll lean in the rest of the way and try again with another kiss. it’s unpracticed and unfamiliar still, but it is a bit sweet. soo-won’s smile lingers slightly in the press of it.
but when he pulls back, he tries his actual plan, ]
You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted for myself.
[ words that he means sincerely and can admit without fear, but never had a reason to say before. ‘want’ is nebulous, formless, and he’s going to keep it that way… but it’s true to what he feels.
does that make this tender? is this emotionally intimate? bitch he doesn’t know he wants to open the box
you ever spend [redacted] number of months bsod-ing every time your best (?) friend talks about dying, only to then bsod over a completely different reason somehow still involving your best (?) friend?
soo-won can go open the box, hak is going to stand here for another ten seconds or so while the loading screen plays over his head. ]
[ and then, when the fifteenth repetition of You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted for myself finally manages to weasel its way into his brain, he finally snaps out of it. ]
Don't just say stupid shit like that!
[ even though it's true. soo-won has never made his feelings secret, not in recent weeks at least, but the weight of them makes hak feel uncomfortable, especially when his own feelings continue to flip-flop back and forth
but he marches his way over to the box, scowling. ]
[ yea he's immediately dipping to go look at the box. when hak yells, soo-won just laughs triumphantly ]
You're so mean, Hak!
[ STUPID SHIT... WOW....
but it's fine because the lock is open and soo-won is answering immediately, ]
Because I think an old friend is waiting for us.
[ and he'll get it open as soon as he can, a familiar cry coming from the box. gulfan waits inside, blinking first against the new sunlight, and then crying out again before launching himself up into the air. he'll drift back down to them both after, saying hello. oh beautiful gulfan ]
[ anything he doesn't want to acknowledge is automatically stupid......sorry.........
but who cares about any of that when the box opens to reveal a large bird of prey, who peers at both of them before launching off in a flurry of familiar brown feathers. hak's eyes go wide, a rare look of wonder and hopefulness crossing his face. ]
Gulfan?
[ he can't even be mad that this stupid place brought gulfan because he loves gulfan so much ]
[ they both love! gulfan! so much! their beautiful falcon! soo-won's response is automatic, bringing his arm around with all his layers and sleeves to give gulfan a place to roost. he'll turn to hak afterward, arm extended so that gulfan can face hak
gulfan will just stretch his wings out wiiiiiide ooooo to say hello ]
[ the way i need to do my other tags but i just want to cry over gulfan
of course hak says hello back, smiling softly as he steps closer. this is probably the happiest soo-won has ever seen him in purgatory....or even in the last [redacted] months since he left. ]
Missed you too. Long time no see, huh?
[ actually it's probably only been like a month but whatever ]
[ gulfan is.... perfect. happy and pleased to see them both, hopping on his lil predator claws on soo-won's arm to get closer to hak so that he can chirp more quietly now and butt his head against hak's...
soo-won falls quiet, watching the interaction. it's... an almost painful sort of fondness, watching gulfan and hak be so happy together. it tore him up before. it tears him up again now, but he doesn't dare intrude. but the expression on his face really is so quietly awed and adoring. ]
[ that gets a laugh out of him, small but real, along with a returning bump of his head. (no feather pets though; he's not willing to risk his fingers just yet.) ]
You should have showed up sooner. Hope you weren't in the box too long.
[ well. maybe he would have been eaten by some creepy monster if he showed up sooner but hak's not going to think about that. though now that gulfan IS here, the logistics of the situation are starting to rear their little heads. ]

We don't have a place to keep him though.
no subject
He's rather self-sufficient. We should perhaps see if we can prepare a perch for him to rest in one of the rooms in the manor, and then a roost?
no subject
I'll look around for supplies. [ anything for their best boy. ] At least there should be plenty for him to eat.
[ .... ]
Do you think he even needs to eat?
no subject
Even if he doesn't, I feel like we should encourage it so he doesn't miss out on his exercise...
no subject
I have to use the compact.
[ brb, one second ]
no subject
Alright?
[ soo-won will just occupy himself with bird son then... little headtouches and pets because he does not fear his sweet gulfan ]
no subject
Never mind.
no subject
What happened...?
no subject
[ nene is so small.......so vulnerable..... ]
no subject
turns to gulfan ]
Remember not to eat any cats either, Gulfan. No cats, no Nenes.
no subject
because hak is now cursed into being a rat for not saying goodbye on his compact. please eat him, gulfan. ]
