Welcome to Gaia! ::

Who's Who

Junko smiled. "Okay~." She gave his cheek another kiss and then turned her attention down to the list in her hands again, jotting down some quick notes. She fell into a peaceful quiet, her head tilted against Seiji's shoulder while she made adjustments here and there.

"Hmm..I think that's good for now.." She tilted her head back, looking up at Seiji again. "How about I start dinner and we can continue tomorrow?"

Priorities

"I've been thinking somewhere warm and tropical." Junko hated being cold, and Seiji loved heat. It seemed the perfect sort of place for them to get away for a little while and celebrate being married.

His hands settled on the small of her back as she shifted to lay on top of him, but they didn't stay still for long. After less than a minute they were moving up and down the soft curves with absent trails of his nails. "Some white, sandy beach at a resort." He grinned. "Maybe somewhere with ocean side caves to explore."


House hunting redux

The moment they walked into the house Seiji knew. He didn't need Junko's tightened grip on his hand, or the wide eyes she turned up to him. He knew.

And he was in perfect agreement. The house they walked into was gorgeous. An old Victorian beauty with high ceilings and wood floors. There were rooms enough for them, for the children they wanted to have, for potential guests or his parents to visit. There was room enough for a studio for her, and place for him to practice his drums without disturbing the whole of the household. It had absolutely everything they had been looking for, and more.

Glowing eyes ticked t the side to look down at her, meeting that excited look, and the corners of his mouth tugged up in surprised delight.


Who's who

Dinner sounded like a fabulous idea.

Dinner always sounded like a fabulous idea to Seiji.

"Mmm, you know I'm not gunna say no to that plan, gorgeous." he grinned down at her, kissing her head.


When we're dancing

He gave her chin a soft brush of his fingertips as he stepped back from her to turn on the music. It was a soft song, one she'd recognize. A certain ballad from a certain old movie they enjoyed watching together.

Then he was turning back to take her hand again, pulling her in close. "I love the shoes."

Priorities

His touches left goosebumps in their wake. She shivered, nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck with a tiny little squeal. "That sounds fun. Ooohhh, what if we found black sand? I hear that's a thing, too. I bet black sand gets really warm." She lifted her head again to settle her chin on his chest. "I like caves~."

She hummed. "I'm still not a very good swimmer though...and it's even harder with all of this.." Junko raised one arm to lift the curtain of hair that was relaxing around them and covering them like a sheet. It was heavy when wet, even when braided, and Junko would like to not drown on their honeymoon...

When we're dancing

"What don't I like about them?" He gave her hip a little pinch. Little pain in the butt, she was teasing him.

He pulled her into motion again, repeating the steps they'd just practiced, though this time they had the music to help guide their rhythm. Music the boil started humming almost immediately.

The ghost boil was equally impressed as their realtor lead them throw the ground floor of the second house. It really did look amazing. From the open floor plan and large kitchen, to the garden, to the big backyard. It was beautiful, and everything they had been looking for. He could feel Junko's pulse hammering against his palm as they started up the stairs, and honestly, he couldn't blame her. He, however, was a touch more skeptical. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

It was too perfect.

Though even as they reached the first floor it was hard to find a single thing wrong with the house.

He didn't want to get his hopes up, but it was really hard not to. Especially when Junko's excitement was leaking all over him. The mention of the word nursery had an especially powerful effect on the ghoul. If he'd been alive the crushing grip on his hand might have hurt.

House Hunter redux

The next two bedrooms were identical to each other, so there wasn't much to be concerned about there. The third one was slightly larger than the other three, however. Junko hummed, looking up at Seiji. An office? For whatever reason? They'd find a use for it. Finally they stopped at the master bedroom, the largest of all the bedrooms, naturally. The realtor stepped back to let Junko step away from Seiji and into the room, the tap of her heels on the wooden floor echoing off the barren walls. The windows were large and they overlooked the backyard. She squealed quietly, bouncing a bit.

It was when they reached the door for the attic that they stopped. The demon had his hand on the doorknob. "The attic is finished, however the previous owners would like to extend their apologies. They're reapers, you see. One of them is a witch, the other is a grim." He opened the door and started going up the stairs first. "Just before moving out one of her potions went a bit..awry. So the attic is, unfortunately, a mess. However, it's all easy fixed. Some patching up, some paint, they've already replaced the window and fixed the floors." Junko blinked. What. "It's easily something that can be brought up when discussing offers. They fixed what they were able to, but they unfortunately couldn't get to everything."

They stopped at the top of the stairs and Junko blinked again. "It could be worse..." She had been expecting a disaster zone, really. There were parts of the walls that looked as if they had been eaten away by something, and the window off to one side did indeed look brand new. And the floors didn't match the rest of the house.

"And no, there is no structural damage. It's entirely cosmetic, they checked."

Junko tilted her head, looking at Seiji. "I could live with this. It's just an attic, we could just not use it until we're able to fix it all." Seemed reasonable enough. The demon nodded, leading them back down the stairs again.

"Next will be the basement, which I believe was your dealbreaker in the last house, yes?" He grinned a too-wide grin, clearly proud of himself for whatever reason. "I think you'll like this."

House Hunter Redux

"Now the basement is finished. It's actually two rooms, the previous owners used the majority of it for their scarelings to have a place to entertain without parental interference." The door to the basement was near the main entrance, very easily accessible. He opened the door, allowing Junko and Seiji to enter first. There was a lightswitch next to the door, allowing them to make their way down the stairs that curved in a slight spiral into the basement. Junko's eyes widened.

"Is this..the entire size of the house?" She asked, shocked.

"Not entirely, but mostly. Now, before we get into this there's something I want to show you." He gestured for the young couple to follow him to a door in a wall near the stairs. A closet? "They don't use this much, in fact I think right now there is a bush covering it." Junko's brow furrowed. A..bush? "However..!" He opened the door, revealing stairs that led up. Junko had to stop herself from gasping. "Access to outside. I'll show you where the door is when we go back outside. What do you think?"

"I..that's wonderful!" She laughed. "I hope it looks okay from outside. It's not one of those slanted, climb down into the cellar-type doors is it?" The realtor shook his head. Junko smiled and bit down on her lip as she looked up at Seiji. "Let's look around." And talk while we do.

House Hunter Redux

Junko waited until they were away and his words were spoken against her hands. She squeezed Seiji's hands, her heart racing and that smile she had been trying to hold back finally being revealed fully for her fiance.

"<I love it,>" she whispered excitedly, eyes wide. "" They didn't even know the price yet. But prices were negotiable, right? And the attic and only half-finished basement would bring it down, whatever it was..right? "perfect.>"
