shouldn't have left Christmas shopping this late.
hopes he gets something hehe~
hopes he dost not get too stressed out from that.
thinks it's kind of expected that he buys Byakuran something.
...will try to not stress over it, though it's hard.
spent a lot of time thinking about irie's present as well. 
will do his best to find something nice for Byakuran too.
has already wrapped the present for his cute Shou-chan.
thinks that that's pretty normal considering the time already. Sigh-
is curious. "what did you get for me Shou-chan~~?" ^^
pouts a bit as he gets Byakuran's present. "You'll see when you open it...?" he trails off softly.
claps his hands together. "ah? Okay." He follows him. Present present present. 
hopes Byakuran won't be disappointed... "Um... here..."
happily accepts irie's present. Oh what did he get? "thank you Shou-chan!!"
scratches his neck in embarrassment. It's nothing much, really - just some traditional Japanese sweets since he hadn't found the time to look for something better. "You're welcome..."
doesn't mind at all. He lifts his head and grins. "thank you~ and here is your gift." He pulls a smaller box out of his back pocket.
takes the gift with a quick bow. "Thank you," he murmurs before opening it.
bought him a silver watch. "hope you like it."
stares at the watch in awe once he's done unwrapping the gift. And now he feels a bit dumb. "It's... great," he manages, though silently berating himself for not getting anything worthy for Byakuran.
smiles waiting for the redhead to try it on. "I'm glad you like it. I had trouble with your gift~"
tries the watch on. "It's not really that hard..." he trails off. He appreciates practicality the most, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure something out.
is glad the watch fits perfectly. "Do you like it?" He looks hopeful.
nods as he fixes the watch around his wrist. "I like it," he affirms with a small nod.
happily holds Irie's hands. "Please use the watch and sleep on time."
laughs a bit at that. "Ahaha, I'll try..."
takes this moment to give Irie a light kiss on the nose. "Merry Christmas~"
smiles a bit and pats Byakuran's arm. "Merry Christmas, Byakuran-san."
wonders if Irie would like to do something for the holiday~
has some relatives coming over later, but a little something wouldn't hurt...
wants to see his family members 8D
cringes. It's sort of a family-only thing, though...
pouts. Isn't he close enough with the family?
has nothing against it, really... but he doesn't make the rules.
thought his parents loved him ;D
cringes a bit more. "Well, you can come and see for yourself, then..."
laughs. "You're acting funny. Why are you so hesitant on showing me to your family?"
shrugs his shoulders at that. "I'm not." It's just his family's a bit embarrassing.
will get to see it first hand then. "When is this family gathering~?"
frowns at that. "This evening."
wonders if he should clean up a bit. He's just wearing a jacket and plain blue jeans.
shrugs. If Byakuran wants to.
will wear newer clothes. He wore these jeans when he was making a cake. "Let's go to my place and change~" ^^
eyes Byakuran's current clothes. That's a good idea. "Okay..." he agrees with a small nod.
leads the way. He eyes the other quietly as they walk. "I won't embarrass you, Shou-chan~"
eyes him warily. "...Good," he says, rubbing at te back of his neck a bit anxiously.
smiles. Or at least try not to. "What can I do to embarrass you anyways~?"
eyes him. "Many things, Byakuran-san, many things."
gives him an innocent wink. "What things?"
doesn't buy that expression. "Playing innocent won't do, Byakuran-san."
zips his lips. "Well I won't talk about our bedroom events~ I want to see Shou-chan's family...."
nearly chokes on his tongue. "There are other ways you can embarrass me other than that, too, you know..."
holds the other male closer. Cold... "Really? Like how?" Okay now he really is clueless.
squirms mildly in protest before settling. "...Oh, never mind." Best not to give Byakuran any ideas.
wouldn't do anything! "I promise not to. Just tell me what I could do to embarrass you so I can avoid it."
nods meekly. "Just behave like a... normal person, that's all I ask."
frowns. "I might embarrass you if you don't tell me what I could do..."
shrugs his shoulders. "Just don't be overly affectionate...?`"
nods. "Anything else?" Ouch that's a lot to ask for...
knows that Byakuran will have a struggle with that one. "Just keep some of the more... inappropriate comments to yourself."
huffs. "Got it...." The man steps closer and starts getting touchy. "Then I'll get out all my needs now."
squeaks in surprise. "We're in public-"
gets closer to his apartment. "So?"
frowns at the carefree response. "So hands off?"
quickly unlocks his door and pushes Irie in. "But I have to keep my affection on a low level later."
stumbles into the apartment. "You have self-control nonetheless."
hangs his winter jacket and starts to remove his clothes. "Sometimes I don't~"
takes off his shoes hesitantly. "But sometimes you do."
walks off to his room to change into something better. Might as well look fresh for the party~ "Not when it involves you~"
waits for him. "You should, though..."
fixes the remaining buttons on his shirt and steps out of his room. "I can't help it....how do I look~?" ;D
looks up once Byakuran steps out. "Sure you can--" Stares. Oh. Wow. "Er... you look... good."
chuckles, rolling his eyes. Of course he looks good. "I can't. Not when you have such a tempting body like that." He walks to the front door expecting Irie to follow.
chokes on his tongue a bit at the straightforward comment. "Don't say it like that---" He goes to follow Byakuran.
makes sure to grab the jacket hanging off the hook before he exits his apartment. "So who's going to be there?"
exits the apartment with Byakuran, pulling his jacket tighter around him. "My parents, grandparents, uuh... cousins... and some others."
wonders how big his family is. "Do they all pick on you?"
doesn't have that big of a family. "...why would they?"
is just curious. "You look like an easy person to tease~"
sort of pouts. "I guess..."
tells the truth. "It's one of your charms."
doesn't think being easy to pick on is charming, though.
likes it enough. "Oh did I have to bring a present for all your cousins?" D:
shakes his head. "I don't think you have to..."
wouldn't know what to get them anyways. "I'm happy with the sweets I got from you~"
smiles at that. "Ah, you are?"
nods. Why wouldn't he be? "Yea~" ;D
was a bit worried. "That's good," he sighs out loud and relaxes.
would never be disappointed with something Irie gave him. "Ah should I be careful of any relatives?" He means the ones that ask a lot of questions.
shrugs his shoulders. "My mother's sister talks and asks a lot of things, but the others are a bit more reserved..."
survived them. "Ah then it shouldn't be too bad~"
hums. That he did. "You'll see, I guess..."
plays with his hair. It's longer.... He should have cut it. Now it makes him look messy.
walks quietly as he adjusts the wristwatch a bit as they get closer to his home.
eyes him as irie plays with the watch. He grins and reaches out to hold his hand. I'm good, he thinks~
obediently curls his fingers around Byakuran's hand as a small but happy smile creeps up on his lips.
stops by irie's front door. "so I have to cut down the level of affection?" He pouts.
digs up the key from his pants pocket. "Yeah," he says, nodding in affirmation. "We're a bit... more reserved than you are."
hesitates and releases his hand. "so is everyone here already~?"
pulls the door open. "They shouldn't. I did leave enough time to get back before they'd come..." he trails off as he slips inside, already pulling his shoes off.
follows after easily kicking his shoes off. "I can't wait to meet them~"
gives him a brief glance. "...I would say they do too, but they don't know you're coming so..." He takes off his jackets and puts it away, shuffling away from Byakuran's way.
blinks curiously. "have you told them about me~?"
shrugs. "Mother probably has mentioned you a few times."
smirks proudly. "and what did she say~?" Obviously great things hahahaha
wouldn't know, he doesn't listen in on the phone calls between his relatives. "Knowing her, probably something about how charming you can be..." he sighs heavily.
is charming~! "ah and they never asked you about me?"
wouldn't let that get in your head just yet. "I haven't managed to talk with them on phone lately."
will make an impression to last. "how will you do so today~?"
shuffles towards his room to take his bag there. "Do what? Talk to them?" Er...? "...by answering whatever they ask, I guess..."
wonders if he will be introduced as the boyfriend or just a friend...~
bites on his lower lip as he throws the bag into the room. "Which would you like me to refer to you as...?" It'd be easy to go with the friend option, but...
pouts. How cruel. "admit the truth of course."
scratches at the back of his neck absently, nodding sheepishly. "I guess that'd be for the best," he agrees.
is pleased with his response. He gingerly pecks Irie on the lips. "Thank you~"
smiles faintly at the brief kiss and Byakuran. "I guess I should tell mom that you're around," he sighs then before going.
should say hi as well. "Oh she's in the house?" Didn't even hear her.
thinks she's in the living room or the kitchen. "It's the holidays," he says simply.
never knew parents got day offs during holidays. "Oh that's neat~"
shrugs. His mother doesn't work that much, anyway. He goes to the living room to look if his mother's there. "Ah, mom-- Byakuran-san decided to drop by..."
breaks his promise with Irie by putting an arm around his shoulder. What? It's not in front of his other family members.... "Hello~"
stiffens momentarily at the arm around his shoulders, but doesn't move away. His mother seems to have brightened up upon seeing Byakuran, too. "Ah, Byakuran-kun, it's wonderful to see you again... Did Shou-chan
-invite you over for dinner?"
nods. "He finally wants to show me off to other people~" he winks.
sputters at the words. "Byakuran-san, you yourself practically invited yourself over--" While his mother just laughed, Shouichi sighs and blushes faintly.
just likes to add to the story. "I love how shy he is....~"
frowns at him. "Byakuran-san, no..." The woman just laughs some more. "He has always been like that, our Shou-chan," she smiles fondly.
promises to cut it off when the first family member arrives. "Aw Shou-chan, it's okay. You don't need to be shy around me~"
hopes he will. Really. "You're teasing me too much, Byakuran-san," he complains, stiffly moving away in embarrassment.
will try to. "I need to tease you, Shou-chan. I love that embarrassed look on your face."
makes a slight face at that. "You're being very mean, Byakuran-san," he groans halfheartedly.
laughs and turns to the dinner table. "So what are you making~?" he asks Irie's mom.
sighs at that, peeking over at his mom. "We're trying some Western Christmas food this year," she replies cheerfully. "Something new to try."
thinks it smells great. "Need a hand?"
's mother shakes her head. "You're our guest, Byakuran-kun, it'd be too much to ask you to do anything. But in any case, it should take an hour or two before the guests start coming, so make yourself at home."
thinks Shou-chan should help! Be a good boy. He nudges him. "If you say so~"
gets up at the nudge. "I'll help mom, then..." he says wearily, hoping that Byakuran won't do anything strange when unsupervised.
gets up. "I'll be in your room." So won't snoop around.
nods at that. "Okay then..." He hopes so, at least, as he gets up to help his mom.
plays with his guitar. It will distract him away from snooping.
talks with his mom while helping out with cooking and stuff. It doesn't take too long since she had been in the midst of it already, but yeah...
is bored of playing. He digs under the bed.
has nothing interesting under there. Well, probably.
wouldn't know till he tried yes? And he looks around.
continues with his work in the kitchen, sleeves pulled up and all, though silently wondering what Byakuran's up to.
pulls out a few books from under the bed. Come on, give him something interesting.
has nothing really interesting there, unless some old magazines count, to be honest.
looks defeated and sits on the bed. Oh when is his Shou-chan coming back to the room~
finishes with the food after a few moments -- then heading back to his room to make sure Byakuran hasn't done anything unspeakable.
lays down in a provocative pose when he hears irie's footsteps.
opens the door and steps in. "What have you been doing, Byakur-" he pauses, stopping on his heels and stares. A lot.
smiles playfully. "nothing in particular~"
is somewhere between averting his gaze or slapping himself. "Uh, okay, if you say so..." But... "Um, please don't pose like that..."
stays in this position. "what's wrong with this?"
frowns at that answer. "It's... well, provocative, to say the least..."
winks. "then there's nothing wrong with it." He smirks, inviting him closer with his hand.
shuffles closer after a moment. "There's a lot of wrong with that," he argues mildly, swallowing a bit.
rolls his eyes. "don't pretend. you like it."
heaves out a sigh. "Maybe. Just a little." It doesn't mean Byakuran should do it, though.
smiles and sits up. "we can continue this later. I heard someone knocking on your front door."
nods at that - more at the comment about the knocking than the first one. "Let's get this done with, then," he mutters under his breath as he leaves the room.
skips after him and gently grabs his hand. ^^
is startled a bit by that, but holds Byakuran's hand in return as he waits for his mom to get the door.
looks excited. A family party is something he's never had as a kid.
wouldn't call it a party... more like an 'answer questions' session. He sighs again once the front door is opened and goes to greet his relatives.
stays still. His grip on irie's hand tightens. Oh how would he make a good impression~?
halts his steps and looks back to Byakuran, a bit anxious himself. "Um," he starts once the initial greetings are shared. "This is Byakuran.... he's my..." he squeezes Byakuran's hand a bit. "...boyfriend."
flashes his warmest smile. "nice to meet you~" he gives irie a quick look. Who are these people? Uncle? Cousins?
looks down, sort of embarrassed. "Uuh, these are my grandparents," he tells Byakuran. "And then there's my uncle..."
nods, still trying his best to keep that grin. They're quiet! It's kinda worrying...!!
's grandmother is the first one to smile and speak. "It's nice to meet you, Byakuran-kun." Not commenting on the boyfriend part... and then the other relatives greet Byakuran too, very politely.
shakes their hands. Oh it is worrying that they won't acknowledge the boyfriend part.
thinks they might save that for later maybe. "Uh, the dinner's ready so..." Shouichi gestures weakly towards the dinner room.
waves his hand allowing his grandparents to go to the room first. He places a hand know irie's shoulder. ^^;;
inhales quietly under his breath and goes after them.
hopes they're approving of their relationship. He shakes his head and enters the dining room last.
sits down next to his mother, answering mildly the usual questions about studying and friends.
grabs the seat across from irie, sitting right next to irie's uncle. "hi there~" ^^
's uncle nods at Byakuran. "Hello, Byakuran-kun, was it?" he eyes his nephew thoughtfully for a moment. "You are with Shouichi-kun?" Seeking for affirmation, though not perhaps in the most discreet way.
nods proudly. "yep. Your nephew is a wonderful person~" he nudges irie under the table with his foot.
's uncle smiles faintly at the response. "I suppose you would know," he hums and gives Shouichi a small look... while Shouichi gently pushes Byakuran's foot away under the table.
scratches his head. "ah it's why I love him~" don't kick his foot away!
isn't kicking, just nudging. Gently. The elderly man smiles faintly. "Take care of him then, Byakuran-kun, alright?"
feels accepted! He accidentally kicks irie in joy. "I'll take good care of Shou-chan!" He promises.
winces at the kick on his shin, and inches back on his chair unnoticeably. His uncle, nor others, doesn't seem to notice; busy looking at Byakuran with a small smile. "Yes, you do that, young man."
's feeling hungry but his smile doesn't fade. He looks apologetically at the redhead across the table.
sighs inaudibly before nodding silently at Byakuran's look as the food is settled on the table.
helps the older family relatives by scooping food for them. Ah such a gentleman yes~?
's relatives certainly appreciate it and give Byakuran gentle smiles and thank yous while Shouichi silently wonders what Byakuran's up to.
is trying to make a good impression. see how he's caring for elders! He winks at irie as he serves the last dish to his grandmother.
can see that. Shouichi smiles warily at him in response while his relatives murmur about Byakuran's politeness.
helps irie with his dish as well. "here Shou-chan~~"
had been about to help himself, but leans back when Byakuran does it for him. "Thank you..." he mumbles, offering a timid smile.
sits down on his own seat, smiling at everyone. ^^ mission accomplished.
nudges him. "Take some for yourself too, Byakuran-san..."
forgot about that. He looks a little embarrassed and grabs some for his own plate.
smiles at that and digs into his own portion.
takes a bite. "delicious~" he knew irie's mom was good at cooking but it's still nice to compliment.
's mother smiles at the compliments. "Why thank you, Byakuran-kun," she coos as she engages other adults into a conversation about the past year.
's attention drifts to irie. He smirks, wondering if he'll get something for making such an impression~
blinks at the smirk and lifts one of his eyebrows questioningly.
hopes he can read his mind with just that smirk. And since he can't, byakuran licks the fork slowly.
almost chokes on the food he was swallowing when he sees that. That's clearly suggestive on some level, that lick.
looks down on his plate when irie's coughs attract the attention of his entire family.
wasn't coughing, though-- "Shou-chan, are you okay?" Shouichi manages to swallow, nodding his head sluggishly. "i'm fine, mom."
smiles to himself. Oh yay. "drink water Shou-chan~" he pushes his cup forward.
eyes him wearily as he takes the cup. "Thank you, Byakuran-san," he breathes out before lifting the cup to his lips.
has to ask, "so is that a yes?"
squints at him as he swallows down the liquid, licking his lips clean afterwards. "yes to what exactly?"
laughs softly. "oh I'll ask again later." It would break his promise if he did.
now has a confirmed idea on what Byakuran wanted to know, and he looks down at his plate again before nodding slightly.
got what he wanted and goes back to eating, but he pays attention to the family's conversation.
doesn't listen to it as attentively - it's the same kind of talk he hears every holiday. About how families are, weather, cooking...
likes to pay attention. He's learned a lot from their talks.
silently eats in the meanwhile, hoping that nothing embarrassing would come up as a new topic.
speaks up, "so I'm curious... Has Shou-chan done anything cute and embarrassing this year he's avoiding to tell me about?"
looks up at Byakuran with a horrified expression. "Byakuran-san-!" he protests. "That's hardly a topic for dinner-" His mother interrupts, "Shh, calm down, Shou-chan." And then proceeding to answer the question
silently wonders if Byakuran's doing it on purpose.
listens carefully, putting the fork down. "yes do tell~" hey it's a family dinner. Embarrassing stories should bounce around.
sinks on his chair, throwing a glare at Byakuran, just as his mother gets her engines running in the sense that she starts babbling. Oh, mother. "Well, there was that time when Shou-chan accidentally stumbled -
- out of the house with nothing but boxers on when he was so sleepy..."
blushes at the thought. "ah too bad I wasn't there. But I wouldn't remind him anyways~" irie and his boxers are lovely after all.
finishes his meal with that. "I think I'm going to go revise some things," he mumbles, cheeks deep shade of red-purple of shame as he stands up. "...Thanks for the meal." Off to his room now.
offended him! "Shou-chan I like your boxers."
sputters out something incomprehensible before taking a deep breath in. "Don't-" he starts stiffly, "you don't even know which ones I'm wearing," he finishes in a quiet mumble before leaving after a quick bow.
jumps to his feet the second Irie leaves the room. "I better go apologize...." and runs after him.
gets to his own room, cheeks glowing faintly from embarrassment and mild self-consciousness, letting out a sigh of relief when he plops down to the bed.
knocks on the door first. Better not to barge in. "Shou-chan?"
should have figured he'd come after him. "Hmmm?" he lets out a non-committal sound, though it might have come out as a whine.
wouldn't leave him angry. "I'm coming in."
doesn't wait for a response and jumps right into his room.
isn't really angry, just... He looks up slightly from his bed when Byakuran steps in.
closes the door behind him. "I'm sorry for embarrassing you..."
shakes his head mildly. "Mom would have done that on her own too..."
slowly approaches the bed. "Then why did you leave the table?"
shrugs his shoulders slightly. "I got embarrassed since I don't... want those kinds of stories get told when you're around."
sits down next to the redhead and pets him. "I've seen you naked...why do you worry?"
turns slightly to Byakuran's side, wrapping arms around Byakuran. "That's different," he mumbles.
rolls his eyes. Ah it could be he's embarrassed it's being told from his mom... "I guess I understand?" Byakuran moves closer.
clears his throat. "And once she gets started, she doesn't... really stop with those stories," he adds, coughing. "I don't like being around when she does that..."
smiles, his hand gently strokes irie's leg. "I find it sweet. I never had a mother talk about me in such a way."
pauses at that. "Well, when you put it like that..." he trails off, feeling a little bad for Byakuran right then.
leans his head on irie's shoulders. "so that's why I asked her to tell me about you. That look on her face when she talks about her son is the best."
slowly puts his hand into Byakuran's hair. "Oh," he mumbles. "...Sorry for... that, then." So Byakuran hadn't been just teasing him.
closes his eyes at irie's touch. "you don't have to be sorry. I did embarrass you."
runs his hand through the pale hair. "I still ruined your fun," he says meekly.
looks up. "ah you did... How terrible of you." He smiles softly.
smiles hesitantly in return. "Should I make up for it?" he teases mildly, hand rubbing at the back of Byakuran's head slightly.
taps his chin thoughtfully. "you should.... It was mean to me and your mother."
nods slowly at that. "Any ideas?"
thinks a strip tease wouldn't hurt. "Hm... You need to do something extra for ruining Christmas dinner."
tilts his head abit. "Something extra?"
grabs his hand. "we can do your punishment later. Your family needs you downstairs."
winces. "They're probably still talking about the weather or insurances by now..."
looks at the door. Well no one did call for them. "ah true...~ your punishment would be to give me a massage... Wearing nothing." ^^
will just make it up to his mom the next day with breakfast or something... "...back massage or...?" he trails off.
sits up. "let's start with a back massage." Notice he said start~ ;D
notices the wording, and he nods. "Lie down, I guess..." he murmurs. "We don't have any massage oils around so..." With that, he starts to take off his clothes.
just hopes he warms his hand first~ "okay then." He removes his own buttoned short and falls on his stomach~
pulls down his pants and boxers, now feeling a bit mortified for doing this, but oh well. Once done and once hands are warmed up, he goes over to start to massage.
turns his head to the side and looks at him.
starts from Byakuran's shoulders, rubbing his thumbs against the skin and the muscles beneath it gently. "Tell me where you want me to touch you," he mumbles. Perhaps a bit thoughtless comment.
smirks. Wow... He sighs peacefully from his touch, "everywhere."
rubs at the sides of Byakuran's neck before moving down to the shoulderblades, using palms now in wide, circular motions.
waits till his hands travel lower. "hmmm~" ^^
rubs a bit harder once he reaches the mid-back, shifting his own position to get better position to do this.
relaxes under his fingers. "I bet your parents have some massage oil~"
moves to Byakuran's lower back. "I... guess so, but I'm not sure where they'd keep that..." Probably in their bedroom.
wouldn't go playing around in there. "you're wonderful~" ^^
wouldn't do that either, ok. "Uh... thank you." He presses a bit more firmly on Byakuran's back, working on the tensed muscles.
did feel tense when meeting his family. "ah~" he groans.
hmms a bit at that, rubbing over the same area again.
hugs the blankets underneath him. "Shou-chan~~" he grins. "would this be safe with your family downstairs?"
glances back at the closed door, but not halting his movements. "Well, they usually leave me be, since they think I'm studying, so..."
pushes himself up and pulls irie onto his lap. "but it's Christmas. Who studies during a holiday?"
shifts himself on Byakuran's lap. "I've done that before," he says simply.
grins. "and me being here won't make them curious?"
pauses at that, shifting a bit uncomfortably now. "It probably will," he admits, rubbing at the back of his neck now.
gives him a moment. "ah too late." He forces irie backwards onto his mattress. "now you're mine...~"
yelps quietly as his back meets the mattress with inaudible thud. "I've been yours for a while now," he corrects with a small cough.
kisses the other's neck, agreeing with his response. He lifts his head, laughing. "Shou-chan, you know for Christmas I wanted you naked and tied with a ribbon."
smiles wryly at him. "Well, halfway there now."
runs his fingers through irie's red locks. "and a cute little bow right here." He bites his lip.
leans into the touch slightly. "Fantasy of yours?" he asks, noting how Byakuran bit his lip.
blinks, irie's voice breaking his imagination. "ah yes.... You could say that."
stays silent in case Byakuran will continue whatever he had been imagining.
doesn't need to imagine. Irie's naked and pinned down what more can he ask for? He closes in and nibbles on his collar bone.
's head dips against the mattress, and in response to nibbling, he trails a hand to Byakuran's back, feeling up the skin and gently massaging with his fingertips.
's tongue darts out and licks the bite marks as irie continues to massage him. He purrs in delight, pleased irie is still trying to massage him in such a position.
shudders at the feeling of Byakuran's wet tongue sliding on his skin, eyes half-closed as he slowly rubs at the skin he can reach.
grinds his lower half against him. He's still in his jeans. "help me out here~" he groans, only wanting his hands to move down there.
groans quietly, but gives a nod in response as he slides himself enough to reach to zipper of Byakuran's jeans, hurriedly unzipping it and tugging the pants off as well as he can. "Better?" he breathes out.
nods, irie's bangs tickling his nose as byakuran kisses his forehead. He slowly pulls his jeans lower. "much better~"
's hands linger on Byakuran's hips for a moment before one of them hesitantly moves down.
follows irie's hand with his eyes. The sudden warmth of his hand pressed against him makes byakuran groan.
's hand tentatively cups Byakuran's groin before Shouichi slowly rolls his palm over the area, half-lidded eyes watching Byakuran's reactions.
(pstt make a private plurk lol)
(pfffft right right)
