waffles in the pillowfort - an Edensnake thread



[ The idea has been running through Tadashi's mind for a while now. It's clear to him now that Ainosuke's affection for Langa is not going to fade over time. It's not a dramatic whim of fancy, but a pure feeling of devotion and dedication. And honestly, the more time Tadashi spends at S after the tournament the more he gets to know Langa as well. What might have been jealousy for a flicker of a moment has become something more complicated. He's come to appreciate Langa and see how his natural talent and understated personality have charmed Ainosuke. He's come to be charmed himself.

When Langa comes to the Shindo mansion unannounced it's Tadashi who lets him in and silences the staff with a single look. Ainosuke is still in a meeting, one that Tadashi would have been at as well if not for the paperwork that he had to do for tomorrow's meetings.

Playing host in Ainosuke's absence, Tadashi collects some fresh-made waffles from the kitchen with strawberries and cream. By the time he gets back to Ainosuke's quarters Langa is already constructing something out of the massive amounts of pillows and blankets in the room.

A pillowfort. He tells him as natural as breathing.

Tadashi chuckles under his breath and puts the tray of waffles aside. He moves smoothly to help Langa finish his fort. When it's finished they settle beneath a canopy of silk where Langa happily snacks on the provided food. Watching Langa, Tadashi feels a comforting warmth swell within him. There's the barest hint of a smile at the corner of his lips. Just a hint, mind you.

It's during that time while they chat amiably about skating and food that Tadashi texts Ainosuke to let him know what this situation is. More importantly, he lets him know what the situation could be. It feels a little impulsive, but that's the sort of thing that happens to Tadashi when it comes to these two. ]


Ainosuke-sama should be home in just a few minutes. I hope you don't mind waiting.
