[ ✥ ]—— For someone who never had fingers his whole life, he was quick to figure out how to button a shirt, put a pair of pants on, brush that hair to perfection, and other human-like activities he never thought he’d ever do in his whole life as a tiny bat. Kivat was no longer shocked by the reflection he saw from the mirror of their bathroom. The face of his partner, the body of his partner, everything that could remotely belong to his partner is now his own, although not for long, but who cares after all. 

      To think he could have obtained such an achievement through one single bite.

[ ♬ ]—— To say Ibuki is excited about meeting one of her idols is saying little. The difference between texting and interacting in person gives another meeting when you can actually see a hero, have a chance to shake hands with them, and get them to talk with you about anything. Koutaro wanted to learn some guitar tips and search for new music bands of the period, and the rocker would be a fool to refuse let alone run out of the infinite list of albums and songs she knows. Not only she can help a Kamen Rider, she even has a chance to show off and gain respect points.

      Of course, she will ask for a favour in return. Something little, really.

   Okay, this was really... weird. He’d been handed some strange drink concoction by a stranger for some odd reason (maybe they just simply didn’t want it), and by the looks and feel of it, it was something frozen. But still, he had no idea what this was, and so his immediate thought was to pass it along, the same as what had been done to him earlier. He was a little (more like pretty much) stiff and awkward in approaching the stranger, but he stood in front of them, offering over the beverage to them as he did his best to appear... well, not stiff.

They’d made plans to meet up in Sector 5 and have lunch, or something along those lines.  There never really needed to be plans, not when it came to Teddy having time to spend with Koutaro, but lately it’d seemed like the young man was on some sort of strange kick about making plans and trying to get Teddy to move in with him, so for the most part the navy Imagin enjoyed humoring him.  There was never any harm in doing what Koutaro wanted, not when it was basically what he wanted too.  If there was anything Teddy to improve on, it was being more honest about his feelings and desires.  That could be saved for another day, naturally, and so he was more content on this day to let Koutaro be selfish.

They’d planned a meeting for nine am at the Sector 5 station, with Teddy leaving his sector nearly three hours earlier in order to try and be there on time.  It wasn’t that he wanted to be early so as to make Koutaro think he’d been waiting long, it was more that he felt like Koutaro might get there early and end up breaking his nose or something.  Just because they’d been reunited didn’t really mean anything in the grand scheme of things; Koutaro would always have bad luck and without Teddy there to assist him he was going to have trouble.  He was already haflway into his trip, just stopping to let passengers on, when he saw him.

Or rather, maybe he thought he saw him?  Koutaro was there, in Sector Three, getting off from another car and out onto the platform.  There was absolutely no way that Teddy could mistake Koutaro for someone else, not now or ever, and he quickly got to his feet and moved out before the train doors slid shut.  Koutaro, or someone who looked like him, was already ahead of him by a good bit and the Imagin had to press through a crowd (apologizing as needed) just to catch up.

Koutaro was right about Teddy liking the way Sector Five looked.  It was certainly very different from how Six had been, not to mention all the ones they’d passed in the process, and it got him wondering just how the scientists who brought him here were able to make all of this.  Well, make all of this and keep it secret for so long.  This was a place he’d never heard of, not even in history books, so either it was extremely classified or just very well hidden.

spider kiss

Koutaro’s apartment was filthy, or at least his room was.  There was a room next to his too that basically looked as though it needed burned to the ground, but for starters he could clean Koutaro’s and make it less likely for the youth to trip over something and die when Teddy wasn’t around.  Moving to make sure Koutaro sat on the bed so he wouldn’t accidentally injure himself while Teddy was attempting to prevent injury, the teen was given a book to read and Teddy started sorting clothing.

Eventually he moved beneath the bed, pulling out whatever decided to get horded under there.  It wasn’t until he heard Koutaro call his name that he peeked his head out (he’d managed to climb all the way under, call it dedication!) and noticed his partner leaning above him in the opposite way.  Before he could even ask what he needed, there were still dustballs to destroy, Koutaro promptly planted an upside down kiss on him, leaving Teddy to grumble and take away the book.

kiss on the cheek

Koutaro had been having a really rough day as far as Teddy was concerned.  Even though the Imagin had joined him relatively early in the day, around lunch if he had to be more specific thanks to the train crowds, it was obvious the young man had already been through a nice share of troubles without Teddy there to help him.  While it was always good to know he’d be needed no matter where they are, it was a bit disheartening to see that Koutaro really couldn’t function without him.

an excited kiss

As Koutaro kissed him yet again Teddy couldn’t help but sigh.  He knew all too well that the young man was excited they were back together - seeing as he himself was extremely excited as well - but needlessly planting kisses on him was something he felt a bit uncalled for?  Kisses were, if all of his reading and research were to be considered correct, things given out during moments of passion or towards those you loved romantically.
