It's in small things, like the way that Baren doesn't mind sleeping in a tent with Zoro and Tanuki, but he distinctly misses being able to curl around Chuuya just to be close to him. But Baren's used to being alone, to not always having what he wants. He's just not the type to complain just because things aren't ideal.
... it doesn't mean he likes being reminded of what he doesn't have, though.]
don't make me answer that, chuu you know i always want to keep you with me
Baren pauses at that, reading over Chuuya's message a couple more times. The thing is that Baren's fine - he really is mostly pissed about missing a chance to go back to restock and rest. But he's not against shooting the shit with Zoro all day for their break, because that's a type of relaxing in its own way.
That's not what Chuuya needs to hear though. And Baren forgot Valentine's. And he's not going to go home to his needy boyfriend on the one day they have a chance after two weeks.
so.]
i won't you can't either you're mine to have for a week, at least
well technically you're mine forever and yeah it's more convenient if we're split up for the sake of gathering information but it's still fucking annoying that i don't get to wake up next to you right now
you shouldn't let me stop you from having a day off rimbo probably misses you but i wanted to go home too or wherever you are same thing it wouldn't have mattered what we did it was just a given that i wouldn't let you out of my sight once i had you again so don't doubt that my stupid chuu
jesus how are you always this honest it's hard christ i have fucking hives
[he does appreciate it, though, like he always does when baren puts the effort in to say things like this; saying he's his forever definitely doesn't hurt, either.]
if they split us up again I'm just going to come with you anyway, this is all a pain in the ass.
rimbo misses you too, he's been meowing at the door like he expects you to show up now that I'm here.
just try not to get in any trouble while you two are out there alone, yeah?
and I'll try not to say anything to carlisle that I might regret later.
you probably want a dog and just think i'll say no which i will because we have a cat a tanuki and a chocobo though i guess v is more kiyo's son than yours you can be the chocobo stepdad

don't make me answer that, chuu
you know i always want to keep you with me
no subject
[that satisfies him, though-- all he really wants is the acknowledgement.
still, the whole situation sucks, much as he knows it'd be hard to hold off for the sake of their partners if they did both make it home.]
so. guess we just have to wait, huh?
don't make any plans for when you do make it back

give rimbo a lot of affection and attention for me, okay?
i'll pay you back twice over when i'm back
trouble? me and z?
never
you got a meeting with carly huh
no subject
and even if you two don't look for trouble it's going to find you anyway, isn't it, don't tell me it won't
we don't have a meeting or anything but we're in contact with him for the mission, I could just message him to complain if I felt like it.
[and attached to this text is a picture of rimbaud curled up by the door, lying there staring at it. chuuya's moved his food and water there for him.
...judging by how close the camera is to him, chuuya is also hanging out right there with the cat to give him attention.]
no subject
we'll behave
don't pick fights with the employees chuu
we might need things from them in the future
also stop it
stop that entirely
go do something else
i don't need to have you both watching the door for me when i know i can't go home
i hate it
no subject
and what do you want me to do, just leave him here?? it's too sad, I can't
he's still getting spoiled, trust me.
[this time he gets a short cellphone video of rimbaud getting belly rubs and purring up a storm; he hasn't moved, but he is distracted, at least.]
no subject
stop
now i'm suffering
also we're not getting a dog
stop enlisting mimi in your schemes
no subject
no subject
in particular the one where the chihuahua is licking his nose
and another random photo where chuuya's just staring at the dog]
i said no
no subject
was she sending you these?!
no subject
[ . . . he thinks that actually
answers both questions really well]
no subject
look, I had nothing to do with her deciding to send those, I don't know why you're accusing me of scheming and dragging her in
if I want something I'll say so
no subject
which i will
because we have a cat a tanuki and a chocobo
though i guess v is more kiyo's son than yours
you can be the chocobo stepdad
my answer doesn't change
no subject
I wouldn't mind a dog, this one's really cute, but I still wasn't going to ask for one
