[It took an act of God in order to get vacation time.
Hifumi has no idea what kind of strings Doppo managed to pull in order for his hellhole of a workplace to release him - but he personally had to come up with a wild excuse, promise he'd be far, far out of the country, and give far too advance notice in order to clear his request list at work to make sure that no lovely kittens were expecting him to be in.
But they did it.
And here they are now - in an entirely different country (which means Hifumi is absolutely wearing his suit, never know where a woman could be lurking) and he hums happily as he links hands with Doppo as they approach their hotel.]
Ahahaha, we finally made it, Doppo! Are you ready for a week of relaxation and rejuvenation? I know that I am. ♥
[ it... doesn't take a genius to know how doppo managed to pull himself out of the throes of capitalism for a well-deserved leave, really. why else would he work overtime over overtime without breaks but to collect enough paid vacation time and some pocket money to burn through when he and hifumi decide to go abroad?
honestly, all doppo wants to do is to sleep. best part about being in another country is getting experience sleeping on a different bed this time around, whether it be in a seedy inn or in a fancy resort hotel; they did pool their resources together for the latter, but. sleep is much more important. especially when doppo's predictably, terribly exhausted from being in the plane for hours before they'd gotten to their destination.
too bad hifumi's just... he is just. ]
Ugh, could you keep it down... You're making everyone stare at us. [ god, he can't wait to get that suit off of him. just not sexually. for now. i mean - ] Let's just check in and get this over with. Wish sensei would catch up to us soon, though.
Are they staring because I'm a spectacle, or simply because it's the magic of when two beautiful men are seen together? [he says it so confidently that he clearly thinks that it's a case of the latter, thanks!! he laughs to himself even as he sticks by doppo's side] You are my greatest and oldest friend - and I intend on enjoying our time together, even as we wait for sensei to come along too.
[and he hums happily about it, even as he gives doppo an unrepentant and brilliant smile. after all it's nice to be able to get this time together? sure, they live together but even then doppo is endlessly stressed and their schedules barely manage to line up very well. maybe now it'll be a little bit more time to unwind!
that's the sort of thing that hifumi's thinking about even as they walk into their hotel - it's luxurious, he made sure of that when he was making the reservations, the best possible bed for doppo - and as he spots a few (other) lovely couples wandering about...]
Doppo. ♥ I'm reminded of a trick I heard to save a little cash for a bit more luxury, sounds really good, right? Want me to see what strings I can pull to get the magic to happen?
[ oh, right. of course. just two guys being dudes, on vacation, going to spend the entirety of it at a resort hotel that would have cost more than doppo's life savings if hifumi hadn't chipped in like the loyal childhood friend he is.
hhhhhhhhhhhh.
doppo doesn't deserve him at all.
he's already getting a bad feeling about hifumi's plan, even if he hasn't said anything yet. the mixture of exhaustion and the need to be frugal in a different country speaks more to him though, so he can only nod - ]
So long as it'd better work.
[ please don't mess this up for all three of them, ]
[the problem with hifumi when he's wearing his suit is that the likelihood of him messing anything up drastically falls. and in this case he's going to absolutely lean all in for this. he thinks briefly about how he probably won't be able to flirt with any of the ladies on the hotel staff or present in the room, but that's just something he's willing to give up if it means a better weekend with his wonderful friend
so, ever the accessorizer, hifumi slips one of the rings he's wearing today off of his own finger and as they wait to check in, reaches for doppo's hand to slip it onto his ring finger instead, lifting his friend's hand to press a kiss to the back of it with a wink]
Then follow my lead, my beloved.
[you ever write tags that are so full of cheese but you have to hit send anyway
regardless hifumi turns back around to the reception desk, his fingers now intertwined with doppo's as he pulls his friend up with him and greets easily - ]
Hello, hello, good afternoon. Sorry my attention was stolen for a second - ahaha, you know how it goes with newlyweds and honeymoons, you know?
[the receptionist gives a smile that's a little bit more genuine than the typical customer service response and hifumi notes it happily
doppo's blinking rapidly at the sudden kiss at the back of his hand, still not registering the ring hifumi's making him wear (or the fact that he just called him his "beloved) as he's dragged away to the front desk, and when the words "newlyweds" and "honeymoon" left hifumi's stupid, sexy mouth --
okay. now he's gone from wide awake to being utterly confused and shocked and what the fuck -- ]
H-Hifumi, what are you--
[ he's quickly interrupted by the receptionist though, who's grinning ear to ear at these "newlyweds" as she presents the hotel's honeymoon promos to the two men. true to hifumi's words, these sure do come cheaper than the usual rates: a honeymoon suite that's overlooking the beach, complete with free breakfast and other posh amenities available in the resort.
did hifumi plan this? or was this entirely on a whim? probably the latter, since doppo doubts that hifumi in his host mode has any fucking room for braincells in his noggin. still, jesus. he gulps, eyes nervously darting to hifumi while holding his hand back in a vice grip. ]
Ah, y-yeah. Honeymoon. Just got... married. With him. Somehow.
[hifumi's eyes after seeing the difference in price for all those amenities? glistening. his heart soars as he hums happily even as he squeezes onto doppo's hand in a mixture of reassurance and pure excitement. he glances over when doppo tries to chime in and just laughs in his softer, more good-natured way after he puts on his suit and
leans over to press a quick kiss to doppo's cheek]
You're still tired from the flight over, aren't you darling? Don't worry, don't worry. Your humble and dedicated HIfumi can handle this - let me take care of it, and you.
[sure he throws in a couple of extra romantic-seeming pet names in there, but in general it's not anything that hifumi would struggle to say to doppo on a normal day. he'd do anything for him.
so he takes the lead just given the confidence coming from him and peruses their options a bit more - before of course going with the most lavish one. a room with a view, complimentary breakfast, a couples massage, access to a few different attractions... why not go all out? he hands the receptionist his card since he can more comfortably fit the bill onto it, and in a flash they're on their way
hifumi thinks about how if they were really married, in the time that the receptionist is making the arrangements, he'd probably just be trying to kiss doppo. it sounds like a good idea, but he'd rather that doppo not immediately pass out as soon as they arrive, so he refrains.]
[ ohhhhhh, hifumi did not have to go that far as to fucking kiss him. he really didn't have to, because it only feels like he's being forced to at gunpoint, and it only makes doppo sink even more in despair. but hey, at least the trick worked! and holding onto hifumi's hand is the only thing that's keeping doppo from passing out in the elevator going to their room, whether by sheer exhaustion or just... everything else.
when they finally reach the door and flip on the lights to reveal a large room that's decorated tastefully, complete with a small kitchenette at the corner if hifumi would bother to look more into it - doppo's just going to go straight to the fuckign king-sized bed and flop onto the blessed sheets and comforter headfirst. ohhh my god, it's like sleeping on a cloud, it's that comfortable --
is that a rose petal.
the bed is covered in rose petals, as expected of a honeymoon suite. for newlyweds. which they are not.
he wants to cry. ]
Hifumiiiiiiiii. What the fuuuuuuuuuuck.
[ while strangling him. but he's too exhausted to get up from this blessed bed, so he refrains. ]
Hifumi is dazzled as he wanders in - because sure, he gets to dabble in a lot of luxurious things as a host, but a suite in Hawaii is probably a new level of wow factor even for him. He's admiring the work of their room, picking up rose petals as he goes, wandering over to the kitchenette and then even opening up the windows to look at the view as he makes a noise of appreciation and awe.]
You should be looking at this, you know...?
[and he laughs happily even as he wanders over to doppo who is now collapsed on the one (1) king-sized bed in the room and he'll take the flower petals that he has in his hands to let them fall elegantly over doppo's head]
Was there something you needed from me, my love? Given that this is the first day of the rest of our lives together, I want to give you everything that you ask for... ♥
[ hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that's it he's sitting up, hair and expression more frazzled than ever. so much for having a relaxing vacation. he's SO RELAXED RIGHT NOW. ]
T-Take that suit off! Hifumi, what have you done?!
[ can he really appreciate the view outside and the luxurious (AND EXPENSIVE) room that they're going to be staying in for a while when he knows that they'd only gotten all of this with a lie??? that easily goes against doppo's poor conscience, and - well. he's not gentaro. neither of them are, so who's to say that they can keep up the pretense for the next few days?
hifumi's that good of an actor anyway. he probably doesn't mean any of that. ]
I'd be fine with a simple hotel room, you know! You didn't have to-- d-do all that!
[ huuuuu, time to hide his face in the plush pillows again and continue wailing. crying in a honeymoon suit seems to be in bad taste, especially when this is the first day of the rest of their lives together (hifumi's words, not his). they already share an apartment back home in shinjuku anyway, so this shouldn't feel any different, and yet...
Hm? Oh - you're right, I suppose I don't need this since no ladies will be bothering us any time soon probably... Ahaha, what a charming life newlyweds must lead.
[He notes that happily to himself even as he moves to shrug off the suit, going to hang it up in the closet since they'll be staying here for a little while.
And just like that.
... he is still Hifumi, without a single regret.
Rather, he's back to the usual Hifumi who is extra excited about the whole room and Doppo can probably hear him oooh-ing and aaaah-ing over the closet as he claps his hands excitedly and rushes around - before going to jump on the bed to join Doppo. what the fuck is personal space. There's literally none as he throws himself on, not minding the rose petals at all, and immediately going to wrap his arms around Doppo's shoulders to pull him closer - ]
It's our first vacation together ever - why not pull out all the stops?! It'll be fine, don't worry so much! We'll get it all to work out! We've been friends since foreeeever, being married won't be hard at all!
[seeing as he'd totally say yes if doppo asked him to marry him anyway - but he doesn't bother to voice that out loud because doppo totally knows, right? it's obvious, you know?]
[ is it really obvious... well. maybe. but hifumi's a total fucking catch despite being a irritant with or without the suit, and doppo's just... doppo. a man who looks, acts, and is the pretty much the epitome of being done in this godforsaken world --
and it's why all of this must be some kind of joke to him. hifumi just... can't be serious about wanting to get married like this. he just can't. ]
There's a difference between being friends for as long as you could remember and being married, dumbass. The latter's like... being roommates forever and over with one another. With a ring attached.
[ and hifumi deserves more than that!!! but ah well, the stupidass has a point. doppo's too tired to argue with hifumi at this point, his hands reaching up to hold hifumi's wrists to keep him there instead of pushing him off. it's still a wonder how hifumi's loud presence always manages to calm doppo down from a freakout but so long as he doesn't wear that suit, it'll all be fine.
he prefers this side of him any day. ]
...I'll just kill you in the morning. [ yaaawn ] Can't really complain with this bed, to be honest. It really is made for... you know.
[ for That. which is a total waste, in doppo's opinion. what good is a fucking bed if you don't sleep on it first thing? damn. ]
Aren't we going to be roommates forever? So we're halfway there!
[He'll say that much carelessly, even as he contentedly moves to curl around Doppo since the other man seems determined on keeping him there. That's okay, he doesn't mind - the closeness makes him hum a little happy note that reverberates in his chest, really. Even as Doppo goes on to talk about the bed and he just laughs again, even as he nudges his nose into the back of Doppo's head like an affectionate cat.]
Is your brain in the gutter, Doppo-kun? I'm blushing, you know? [he's not] But ah - if you're going to bed, you shouldn't do that in those clothes... It'll get suuuuper wrinkly!
[and he'll just try to wiggle his hands - not really trying to free them but like he's gonna reach for the buttons on doppo's shirt because hifumi wouldn't know shame or caution if it bit him in the ass,]
[ ROOMMATES FOREVER... that's not a bad arrangement at all, as far as doppo's concerned. doppo's willing to put up with hifumi, hifumi's all for having doppo's back - isn't that the whole point of marriage?
n-no. making it official is already anxiety-inducing. he'll just act normal about all this and remember to tack in the fact that they're "husband and husband" every once in a while. it's nothing different, like gently stroking the blond hair of this affectionate cat he calls his friend, as he usually does at home. "husband". whatever. ]
Mm, 'kay. [ he groggily gets up, letting hifumi slip this shirt off like how a mother does to her child. maybe they should've gone for that angle. ] Let's just. Stay here tomorrow. All day. Catch up on sleep.
[ so that hifumi won't have to wear that suit all day either. navigating their way out of the hotel alone to avoid all sort of women's going to be an adventure, doppo can already see it. add more unneeded drama in his life, why don't you. ]
[He looks a little doubtful at that even as he takes Doppo's shirt for him and moves to fold it - and he'll reluctantly pull away from his best friend in the whole wide world to go and put his shirt away. He'll keep up conversation even as he wanders over to the closet again - ]
If you really think you need it... but we have to go and see all the sights!! We didn't spend all that money just to stare at the ceiling all day, you know?! We could do that at home and—
Mm? What's this?
[a little gasp
the sounds of fabric shuffling and a zipper and
hifumi is still hopping out of one leg of his slacks as he appears from the closet, changed into just a silk bathrobe and holding another one on a hanger and waving it excitedly]
DoppoDoppoDoppo - look, look!! They gave us these! Complimentary! Come on, change! Get out of those clothes! It's sooooooo soft, you gotta feel!
[ DOPPO'S ALREADY SET TO NAP, HIFUMI... but fine, he's getting up, taking the bathrobe from hifumi's hands and
did he really strip off all his clothes. hhh, scrubs face. he's taking off his clothes to put it on, sure, but he's gonna run back to flop on the bed again for a rest!! in his underwear!!! it's what he deserves, dammit!
but oh man, this silky bathrobe combined with the fuwa-fuwa bed... this is truly heaven. doppo's going to deadass sleep on heaven itself. yes. ]
Perfect. Now we're talking - this is shaping up to be a real vacation!
[he hums happily even as he moves to pick up doppo's clothes and put them away!! he's gonna be meticulous about this because the room is so nice!!! he has to make sure it stays that way!
and then he's going to run back to bed and dive right in, snuggling riiiight in next to doppo because personal space doesn't exist]
Sweet dreams, hubby! ♥ [he's getting into this way too easily,
but he presses a quick kiss to the top of doppo's head before settling them both in for sleep because if doppo is gonna go to bed then so is hifumi!!]
[ aaaaaAH NO HE'S BEING TOO SWEET but doppo's already drifting off to sleep before he can register the sweet kiss on the forehead -
and sweet kisses come with sweet dreams, apparently. fast-forward to like, an hour and a half later, and doppo's... a lot more rested than he'd had in literal years, holy shit. he sits up in bed, rubbing at his eyes before looking down at his snoozing partner (husband) and -
uh. maybe he should play up the husband act too? hifumi's already gone overboard with this marriage schtick that he's all but playing for two at this point - still. it's not everyday he gets to see hifumi with such a peaceful expression on his face, so don't mind if he just... leans in for a peck on the cheek... there.
uwah, he's feeling it, the married life. it's sappy and gross as hell, and he's got to snap out of it pronto - ah, right. dinner. room service would do for now, as much as he'd rather want to go out to eat, but hifumi and his well-being should always come first, so. gotta be careful in not waking hifumi up so that he can sneak in a phonecall. yes. ]
[who knew all doppo needed to feel better was a silk robe and an hour and a half of sleep?? that said hifumi probably got no sleep on the plane whatsoever so he's down to snooze for a little bit longer than just an hour and a half. the peck on the cheek doesn't really get him to wake all the way up...
but the combination of that, plus doppo shifting around, manages to do the trick. he mumbles a little tiredly but is still stubbornly refusing to open his eyes even as his hands feel around for where the warm mass of his best friend went. he's definitely aiming to wrap his arms around doppo's middle before he gets too far
[ he's a simple man with simple needs in the end... 'sides, they are on vacation. hifumi's right, they shouldn't spend the entirety of it in this room. they're in freaking hawaii too, for fuck's sake.
but the sound of hifumi whining and his arms wrapping around his waist stops doppo in his tracks, thankful that hifumi's too groggy to note the redness in his face. did he wake up because of that kiss? he hopes not. hifumi's just that naturally clingy, so doppo's used to it by now. ]
Shh, I'll get us both dinner. [ strokes his soft hair again, shhhh ] Not gonna leave you, so don't worry.
[there's a little sigh and he's automatically leaning into doppo's touch without so much as hesitating, his shoulders relaxing as the reassurance seems to penetrate the fog of sleepiness. but his arms still don't pull back - rather he blinks his eyes open just enough to yawn and pull himself closer again so he can let his head fall on doppo's lap, apparently unintentionally thwarting his attempt at escape]
Is it time to get up already...
[and he sighs a little bit again even as he tries to get his gaze to focus up on doppo's face]
You're so unfair... You wanna nap and then get up before me...!
[yet even as he says it, a smile pulls at the edge of his lips because at the end of the day he's fond of doppo in every single scenario anyway]
[ sigh. consider this hifumi's cat mode then. doppo'll stroke more of those golden locks of his with one hand while his other hand reaches for the phone on the bedside table. ]
You hungry? I could get us some room service...
[ this is getting way too domestic, it's painful. ]
[it's super domestic and therefore hifumi is more than pleased with it, thanks. he's always on cloud nine when doppo is relaxed enough to be able to not only accept his rampant affection but also give some in return. he gradually finds himself waking up even as he leans into doppo's touch]
You wanna? We can go out too... I'll get dressed and everything again - we can take a walk along the beach...!
[ hey, when is the doctor coming in to join them again? because doppo's getting some serious cavities over here. it's just a walk down the beach tho?? just guys being dudes who are supposed to be married. no big deal.
so with a nod: ] Sure. Could use some fresh air.
[ 'cause everything smells like roses right now, bleh. he carefully removes himself from hifumi, lifting his head up a bit before settling him down on the mattress again, then goes off to wear the stuff again in the closet.
hifumi's jacket is right there though... is he going to wear that the entire time they're here? the temptation to hide it somewhere for a while is rising, but it might actually put a damper on their entire trip, so he doesn't. he'll be fine, doppo's used to circumvent any ladies that come their way when they're together. outside the host club, that is. ]
[nice!! fresh air and a nice walk with doppo and delicious food for dinner!!! hifumi is energized just by the thought even as he smiles and streeeeetches out once he has the bed all to himself, laughing even as he softly declares:]
Yayyyy! ♥
[he's delighted. even as he rolls over to his front and does another stretch because even an hour and a half nap makes him feel all lazy]
We'll have to take loads and loads of pictures for Sensei so he can feel like he was here with us too!
[and then he'll leap off the bed, going to join doppo in the closet, gently hipchecking his best friend playfully as he goes - though he seems to be having the same thought as his eyes fall on his suit jacket]
Hmm... do you think there's a lot of ladies out here...?
[ normally doppo doesn't mind the casual skinship but he's been a little self-conscious about it lately, especially now that they're "married". it's weird and he feels a little bad since he's used to it in their twenty decades of being practically joined at the hip
and now he feels worse at having to drag hifumi out for some food and fresh air. it's not too late for him to change his mind and order room service instead, but at the same time he can't keep hifumi here forever. he'd die. doppo doesn't want to lie to him either, so - ]
W-We'll just go grab dinner first. Just the two of us. [ GUSY BEING DUDES ] Then later we can go... go walk by the beach. Just the two of us.
[ why does he keep saying that. his plans are so romantic though, doppo didn't know he had it in him this whole time. but no, they've done this thousands of times before, so it shouldn't feel any different, goddammit!!!!! ]
And then Hifumi will pause as he turns to face Doppo and just... watches him for a moment - before brightening up immediately and laughing.]
Just the two of us? Really? Say it again - I always want to hear it! That makes me really happy, you know?
[JUST THE TWO OF THEM - but he looks away from his suit jacket then and just moves to retrieve some of his other clothes. Given how long that they've known each other, he's pretty careless as he's already shrugging off the silk robe and picking up one of his shirts to slip into instead.
And he looks back to Doppo, winking shamelessly.]
You're really getting into the spirit of the honeymoon, Doppo. Will we have fun when we get back to the hotel after too?
[ doppo was also in the middle of putting his shirt on until he sees the wink, and plans of having more fun in the hotel, and he's just - ]
Look who's talking! W-We don't have to do that while we're here, Hifumi! That's just pushing it! [ where is jakurai to pull both their heads out of the gutter. sigh. ] ...Let's just go before I change my mind.
[ and he grabs hifumi's wrist and pulls him out of the closet and out the door, making sure to grab the key on the way out. quickly and hurriedly, so that hifumi won't think of going back to retrieve his suit jacket and to evade the women who are inevitably also here in this floor, on their honeymoon with their spouses. at least those people are actually spoken for, whereas hifumi just popped the question and doppo just said yes like a dumbass and -
okay, elevator's here, time to pull hifumi in and rest against the wall as they make their descent towards the lobby.
[true to form, hifumi's just laughing on the way out. getting that kind of reaction from doppo is hilarious. teasing his best friend really has so many perks? sure, he made the decision for them to pull this kind of thing when he was in host mode, but even normal hifumi is 100% okay with it.
... he's less okay with the women that he sees wandering around, and whereas doppo grabbed his wrist, hifumi automatically latches onto him with both his hands. he sticks close even as he tries not to make eye contact with any of the women around, and by the time they make it to the elevator he's gonna end up clutching onto doppo's arm and burying his face in his shoulder]
[ doppo must look so stupid with hifumi clinging on to him like this, and not even in a sexy nor cute way like how actual husbands should be doing. instead they both resemble two lost boys cowering at the corner of the elevator; the passengers that come in and out of said elevator can only shoot weird looks at the pair for a few seconds before going back to their business.
he's not planning of letting go of hifumi's hands anytime soon enough, even when they manage to get to the hotel lobby in one piece. it's like holding onto a lifebuoy during a storm. though he has to be the bigger man here, so he clears his throat a little - ]
[it helps a little when the space they're in with women isn't quite so enclosed - and so he relaxes a fraction as they wander out to the hotel lobby. his hands remain in doppo's because he can't think of anywhere else he'd rather they be, and he takes a breath in and out just for steadiness.
and as he focuses in on doppo and no one else, he regains some of his usual peppiness, like flicking a switch to a light]
Something we can't get back home, obviously!! [he squeezes doppo's hands excitedly] A luau? Do you think they'd have one of those whole pigs out?! Doppo, maybe we can learn how to hula...!
[though - ]
Oh, but I'd want to take Sensei to that...
[do jakurai's hips lie? further investigation required]
D-Don't just make plans for Sensei while he's not here yet?!
[ he image of esteemed doctor and former member of the legendary TDD jakurai jinguuji doing the hula complete with glass skirt and flower crown is more than a tad amusing, but doppo bites his tongue to prevent himself from laughing. he respects sensei that much............ ]
But yeah, I... have never had roast pig before. [ something like that's too luxurious for doppo's budget, but now that they're here on their """"honeymoon""", ] Let's go get some, then.
[ it's just lechon, right. shouldn't be too hard to find. ]

vacation.
Hifumi has no idea what kind of strings Doppo managed to pull in order for his hellhole of a workplace to release him - but he personally had to come up with a wild excuse, promise he'd be far, far out of the country, and give far too advance notice in order to clear his request list at work to make sure that no lovely kittens were expecting him to be in.
But they did it.
And here they are now - in an entirely different country (which means Hifumi is absolutely wearing his suit, never know where a woman could be lurking) and he hums happily as he links hands with Doppo as they approach their hotel.]
Ahahaha, we finally made it, Doppo! Are you ready for a week of relaxation and rejuvenation? I know that I am. ♥
no subject
honestly, all doppo wants to do is to sleep. best part about being in another country is getting experience sleeping on a different bed this time around, whether it be in a seedy inn or in a fancy resort hotel; they did pool their resources together for the latter, but. sleep is much more important. especially when doppo's predictably, terribly exhausted from being in the plane for hours before they'd gotten to their destination.
too bad hifumi's just... he is just. ]
Ugh, could you keep it down... You're making everyone stare at us. [ god, he can't wait to get that suit off of him. just not sexually. for now. i mean - ] Let's just check in and get this over with. Wish sensei would catch up to us soon, though.
[ it's just not the same without jakurai ok ]
no subject
[and he hums happily about it, even as he gives doppo an unrepentant and brilliant smile. after all it's nice to be able to get this time together? sure, they live together but even then doppo is endlessly stressed and their schedules barely manage to line up very well. maybe now it'll be a little bit more time to unwind!
that's the sort of thing that hifumi's thinking about even as they walk into their hotel - it's luxurious, he made sure of that when he was making the reservations, the best possible bed for doppo - and as he spots a few (other) lovely couples wandering about...]
Doppo. ♥ I'm reminded of a trick I heard to save a little cash for a bit more luxury, sounds really good, right? Want me to see what strings I can pull to get the magic to happen?
[hm]
no subject
hhhhhhhhhhhh.
doppo doesn't deserve him at all.
he's already getting a bad feeling about hifumi's plan, even if he hasn't said anything yet. the mixture of exhaustion and the need to be frugal in a different country speaks more to him though, so he can only nod - ]
So long as it'd better work.
[ please don't mess this up for all three of them, ]

so, ever the accessorizer, hifumi slips one of the rings he's wearing today off of his own finger and as they wait to check in, reaches for doppo's hand to slip it onto his ring finger instead, lifting his friend's hand to press a kiss to the back of it with a wink]
Then follow my lead, my beloved.
[you ever write tags that are so full of cheese but you have to hit send anyway
regardless hifumi turns back around to the reception desk, his fingers now intertwined with doppo's as he pulls his friend up with him and greets easily - ]
Hello, hello, good afternoon. Sorry my attention was stolen for a second - ahaha, you know how it goes with newlyweds and honeymoons, you know?
[the receptionist gives a smile that's a little bit more genuine than the typical customer service response and hifumi notes it happily
their plan is now in action]
no subject
doppo's blinking rapidly at the sudden kiss at the back of his hand, still not registering the ring hifumi's making him wear (or the fact that he just called him his "beloved) as he's dragged away to the front desk, and when the words "newlyweds" and "honeymoon" left hifumi's stupid, sexy mouth --
okay. now he's gone from wide awake to being utterly confused and shocked and what the fuck -- ]
H-Hifumi, what are you--
[ he's quickly interrupted by the receptionist though, who's grinning ear to ear at these "newlyweds" as she presents the hotel's honeymoon promos to the two men. true to hifumi's words, these sure do come cheaper than the usual rates: a honeymoon suite that's overlooking the beach, complete with free breakfast and other posh amenities available in the resort.
did hifumi plan this? or was this entirely on a whim? probably the latter, since doppo doubts that hifumi in his host mode has any fucking room for braincells in his noggin. still, jesus. he gulps, eyes nervously darting to hifumi while holding his hand back in a vice grip. ]
Ah, y-yeah. Honeymoon. Just got... married. With him. Somehow.
[ lordt ]
no subject
leans over to press a quick kiss to doppo's cheek]
You're still tired from the flight over, aren't you darling? Don't worry, don't worry. Your humble and dedicated HIfumi can handle this - let me take care of it, and you.
[sure he throws in a couple of extra romantic-seeming pet names in there, but in general it's not anything that hifumi would struggle to say to doppo on a normal day. he'd do anything for him.
so he takes the lead just given the confidence coming from him and peruses their options a bit more - before of course going with the most lavish one. a room with a view, complimentary breakfast, a couples massage, access to a few different attractions... why not go all out? he hands the receptionist his card since he can more comfortably fit the bill onto it, and in a flash they're on their way
hifumi thinks about how if they were really married, in the time that the receptionist is making the arrangements, he'd probably just be trying to kiss doppo. it sounds like a good idea, but he'd rather that doppo not immediately pass out as soon as they arrive, so he refrains.]
no subject
when they finally reach the door and flip on the lights to reveal a large room that's decorated tastefully, complete with a small kitchenette at the corner if hifumi would bother to look more into it - doppo's just going to go straight to the fuckign king-sized bed and flop onto the blessed sheets and comforter headfirst. ohhh my god, it's like sleeping on a cloud, it's that comfortable --
is that a rose petal.
the bed is covered in rose petals, as expected of a honeymoon suite. for newlyweds. which they are not.
he wants to cry. ]
Hifumiiiiiiiii. What the fuuuuuuuuuuck.
[ while strangling him. but he's too exhausted to get up from this blessed bed, so he refrains. ]
no subject
[sorry what was that
Hifumi is dazzled as he wanders in - because sure, he gets to dabble in a lot of luxurious things as a host, but a suite in Hawaii is probably a new level of wow factor even for him. He's admiring the work of their room, picking up rose petals as he goes, wandering over to the kitchenette and then even opening up the windows to look at the view as he makes a noise of appreciation and awe.]
You should be looking at this, you know...?
[and he laughs happily even as he wanders over to doppo who is now collapsed on the one (1) king-sized bed in the room and he'll take the flower petals that he has in his hands to let them fall elegantly over doppo's head]
Was there something you needed from me, my love? Given that this is the first day of the rest of our lives together, I want to give you everything that you ask for... ♥
[he might be having way too much fun]
no subject
T-Take that suit off! Hifumi, what have you done?!
[ can he really appreciate the view outside and the luxurious (AND EXPENSIVE) room that they're going to be staying in for a while when he knows that they'd only gotten all of this with a lie??? that easily goes against doppo's poor conscience, and - well. he's not gentaro. neither of them are, so who's to say that they can keep up the pretense for the next few days?
hifumi's that good of an actor anyway. he probably doesn't mean any of that. ]
I'd be fine with a simple hotel room, you know! You didn't have to-- d-do all that!
[ huuuuu, time to hide his face in the plush pillows again and continue wailing. crying in a honeymoon suit seems to be in bad taste, especially when this is the first day of the rest of their lives together (hifumi's words, not his). they already share an apartment back home in shinjuku anyway, so this shouldn't feel any different, and yet...
hhh. ]
no subject
[He notes that happily to himself even as he moves to shrug off the suit, going to hang it up in the closet since they'll be staying here for a little while.
And just like that.
... he is still Hifumi, without a single regret.
Rather, he's back to the usual Hifumi who is extra excited about the whole room and Doppo can probably hear him oooh-ing and aaaah-ing over the closet as he claps his hands excitedly and rushes around - before going to jump on the bed to join Doppo. what the fuck is personal space. There's literally none as he throws himself on, not minding the rose petals at all, and immediately going to wrap his arms around Doppo's shoulders to pull him closer - ]
It's our first vacation together ever - why not pull out all the stops?! It'll be fine, don't worry so much! We'll get it all to work out! We've been friends since foreeeever, being married won't be hard at all!
[seeing as he'd totally say yes if doppo asked him to marry him anyway - but he doesn't bother to voice that out loud because doppo totally knows, right? it's obvious, you know?]
no subject
and it's why all of this must be some kind of joke to him. hifumi just... can't be serious about wanting to get married like this. he just can't. ]
There's a difference between being friends for as long as you could remember and being married, dumbass. The latter's like... being roommates forever and over with one another. With a ring attached.
[ and hifumi deserves more than that!!! but ah well, the stupidass has a point. doppo's too tired to argue with hifumi at this point, his hands reaching up to hold hifumi's wrists to keep him there instead of pushing him off. it's still a wonder how hifumi's loud presence always manages to calm doppo down from a freakout but so long as he doesn't wear that suit, it'll all be fine.
he prefers this side of him any day. ]
...I'll just kill you in the morning. [ yaaawn ] Can't really complain with this bed, to be honest. It really is made for... you know.
[ for That. which is a total waste, in doppo's opinion. what good is a fucking bed if you don't sleep on it first thing? damn. ]
no subject
[He'll say that much carelessly, even as he contentedly moves to curl around Doppo since the other man seems determined on keeping him there. That's okay, he doesn't mind - the closeness makes him hum a little happy note that reverberates in his chest, really. Even as Doppo goes on to talk about the bed and he just laughs again, even as he nudges his nose into the back of Doppo's head like an affectionate cat.]
Is your brain in the gutter, Doppo-kun? I'm blushing, you know? [he's not] But ah - if you're going to bed, you shouldn't do that in those clothes... It'll get suuuuper wrinkly!
[and he'll just try to wiggle his hands - not really trying to free them but like he's gonna reach for the buttons on doppo's shirt because hifumi wouldn't know shame or caution if it bit him in the ass,]
Here, here, I'll help.
no subject
n-no. making it official is already anxiety-inducing. he'll just act normal about all this and remember to tack in the fact that they're "husband and husband" every once in a while. it's nothing different, like gently stroking the blond hair of this affectionate cat he calls his friend, as he usually does at home. "husband". whatever. ]
Mm, 'kay. [ he groggily gets up, letting hifumi slip this shirt off like how a mother does to her child. maybe they should've gone for that angle. ] Let's just. Stay here tomorrow. All day. Catch up on sleep.
[ so that hifumi won't have to wear that suit all day either. navigating their way out of the hotel alone to avoid all sort of women's going to be an adventure, doppo can already see it. add more unneeded drama in his life, why don't you. ]
no subject
[He looks a little doubtful at that even as he takes Doppo's shirt for him and moves to fold it - and he'll reluctantly pull away from his best friend in the whole wide world to go and put his shirt away. He'll keep up conversation even as he wanders over to the closet again - ]
If you really think you need it... but we have to go and see all the sights!! We didn't spend all that money just to stare at the ceiling all day, you know?! We could do that at home and—
Mm? What's this?
[a little gasp
the sounds of fabric shuffling and a zipper and
hifumi is still hopping out of one leg of his slacks as he appears from the closet, changed into just a silk bathrobe and holding another one on a hanger and waving it excitedly]
DoppoDoppoDoppo - look, look!! They gave us these! Complimentary! Come on, change! Get out of those clothes! It's sooooooo soft, you gotta feel!
[HE'S SO HYPE TO BE MOSTLY NAKED WITH HIS BESTIE]
no subject
[ DOPPO'S ALREADY SET TO NAP, HIFUMI... but fine, he's getting up, taking the bathrobe from hifumi's hands and
did he really strip off all his clothes. hhh, scrubs face. he's taking off his clothes to put it on, sure, but he's gonna run back to flop on the bed again for a rest!! in his underwear!!! it's what he deserves, dammit!
but oh man, this silky bathrobe combined with the fuwa-fuwa bed... this is truly heaven. doppo's going to deadass sleep on heaven itself. yes. ]
no subject
[he hums happily even as he moves to pick up doppo's clothes and put them away!! he's gonna be meticulous about this because the room is so nice!!! he has to make sure it stays that way!
and then he's going to run back to bed and dive right in, snuggling riiiight in next to doppo because personal space doesn't exist]
Sweet dreams, hubby! ♥ [he's getting into this way too easily,
but he presses a quick kiss to the top of doppo's head before settling them both in for sleep because if doppo is gonna go to bed then so is hifumi!!]
no subject
and sweet kisses come with sweet dreams, apparently. fast-forward to like, an hour and a half later, and doppo's... a lot more rested than he'd had in literal years, holy shit. he sits up in bed, rubbing at his eyes before looking down at his snoozing partner (husband) and -
uh. maybe he should play up the husband act too? hifumi's already gone overboard with this marriage schtick that he's all but playing for two at this point - still. it's not everyday he gets to see hifumi with such a peaceful expression on his face, so don't mind if he just... leans in for a peck on the cheek... there.
uwah, he's feeling it, the married life. it's sappy and gross as hell, and he's got to snap out of it pronto - ah, right. dinner. room service would do for now, as much as he'd rather want to go out to eat, but hifumi and his well-being should always come first, so. gotta be careful in not waking hifumi up so that he can sneak in a phonecall. yes. ]
no subject
but the combination of that, plus doppo shifting around, manages to do the trick. he mumbles a little tiredly but is still stubbornly refusing to open his eyes even as his hands feel around for where the warm mass of his best friend went. he's definitely aiming to wrap his arms around doppo's middle before he gets too far
whiiiiiining even in his sleep]
Doppo...........
[is he still dreaming or half-asleep who can say]
no subject
but the sound of hifumi whining and his arms wrapping around his waist stops doppo in his tracks, thankful that hifumi's too groggy to note the redness in his face. did he wake up because of that kiss? he hopes not. hifumi's just that naturally clingy, so doppo's used to it by now. ]
Shh, I'll get us both dinner. [ strokes his soft hair again, shhhh ] Not gonna leave you, so don't worry.
no subject
[there's a little sigh and he's automatically leaning into doppo's touch without so much as hesitating, his shoulders relaxing as the reassurance seems to penetrate the fog of sleepiness. but his arms still don't pull back - rather he blinks his eyes open just enough to yawn and pull himself closer again so he can let his head fall on doppo's lap, apparently unintentionally thwarting his attempt at escape]
Is it time to get up already...
[and he sighs a little bit again even as he tries to get his gaze to focus up on doppo's face]
You're so unfair... You wanna nap and then get up before me...!
[yet even as he says it, a smile pulls at the edge of his lips because at the end of the day he's fond of doppo in every single scenario anyway]
no subject
[ sigh. consider this hifumi's cat mode then. doppo'll stroke more of those golden locks of his with one hand while his other hand reaches for the phone on the bedside table. ]
You hungry? I could get us some room service...
[ this is getting way too domestic, it's painful. ]
no subject
You wanna? We can go out too... I'll get dressed and everything again - we can take a walk along the beach...!
[that sounds
romantic as fuck]
no subject
so with a nod: ] Sure. Could use some fresh air.
[ 'cause everything smells like roses right now, bleh. he carefully removes himself from hifumi, lifting his head up a bit before settling him down on the mattress again, then goes off to wear the stuff again in the closet.
hifumi's jacket is right there though... is he going to wear that the entire time they're here? the temptation to hide it somewhere for a while is rising, but it might actually put a damper on their entire trip, so he doesn't. he'll be fine, doppo's used to circumvent any ladies that come their way when they're together. outside the host club, that is. ]
no subject
Yayyyy! ♥
[he's delighted. even as he rolls over to his front and does another stretch because even an hour and a half nap makes him feel all lazy]
We'll have to take loads and loads of pictures for Sensei so he can feel like he was here with us too!
[and then he'll leap off the bed, going to join doppo in the closet, gently hipchecking his best friend playfully as he goes - though he seems to be having the same thought as his eyes fall on his suit jacket]
Hmm... do you think there's a lot of ladies out here...?
no subject
and now he feels worse at having to drag hifumi out for some food and fresh air. it's not too late for him to change his mind and order room service instead, but at the same time he can't keep hifumi here forever. he'd die. doppo doesn't want to lie to him either, so - ]
W-We'll just go grab dinner first. Just the two of us. [ GUSY BEING DUDES ] Then later we can go... go walk by the beach. Just the two of us.
[ why does he keep saying that. his plans are so romantic though, doppo didn't know he had it in him this whole time. but no, they've done this thousands of times before, so it shouldn't feel any different, goddammit!!!!! ]
no subject
And then Hifumi will pause as he turns to face Doppo and just... watches him for a moment - before brightening up immediately and laughing.]
Just the two of us? Really? Say it again - I always want to hear it! That makes me really happy, you know?
[JUST THE TWO OF THEM - but he looks away from his suit jacket then and just moves to retrieve some of his other clothes. Given how long that they've known each other, he's pretty careless as he's already shrugging off the silk robe and picking up one of his shirts to slip into instead.
And he looks back to Doppo, winking shamelessly.]
You're really getting into the spirit of the honeymoon, Doppo. Will we have fun when we get back to the hotel after too?
[stop him]
no subject
Look who's talking! W-We don't have to do that while we're here, Hifumi! That's just pushing it! [ where is jakurai to pull both their heads out of the gutter. sigh. ] ...Let's just go before I change my mind.
[ and he grabs hifumi's wrist and pulls him out of the closet and out the door, making sure to grab the key on the way out. quickly and hurriedly, so that hifumi won't think of going back to retrieve his suit jacket and to evade the women who are inevitably also here in this floor, on their honeymoon with their spouses. at least those people are actually spoken for, whereas hifumi just popped the question and doppo just said yes like a dumbass and -
okay, elevator's here, time to pull hifumi in and rest against the wall as they make their descent towards the lobby.
so much for a relaxing vacation indeed. ]
no subject
... he's less okay with the women that he sees wandering around, and whereas doppo grabbed his wrist, hifumi automatically latches onto him with both his hands. he sticks close even as he tries not to make eye contact with any of the women around, and by the time they make it to the elevator he's gonna end up clutching onto doppo's arm and burying his face in his shoulder]
Ah... D-Don't go anywhere, okay...?
[hubby!!!]
no subject
[ doppo must look so stupid with hifumi clinging on to him like this, and not even in a sexy nor cute way like how actual husbands should be doing. instead they both resemble two lost boys cowering at the corner of the elevator; the passengers that come in and out of said elevator can only shoot weird looks at the pair for a few seconds before going back to their business.
he's not planning of letting go of hifumi's hands anytime soon enough, even when they manage to get to the hotel lobby in one piece. it's like holding onto a lifebuoy during a storm. though he has to be the bigger man here, so he clears his throat a little - ]
So. Uh. What... do you wanna eat tonight?
no subject
and as he focuses in on doppo and no one else, he regains some of his usual peppiness, like flicking a switch to a light]
Something we can't get back home, obviously!! [he squeezes doppo's hands excitedly] A luau? Do you think they'd have one of those whole pigs out?! Doppo, maybe we can learn how to hula...!
[though - ]
Oh, but I'd want to take Sensei to that...
[do jakurai's hips lie? further investigation required]
no subject
[ he image of esteemed doctor and former member of the legendary TDD jakurai jinguuji doing the hula complete with glass skirt and flower crown is more than a tad amusing, but doppo bites his tongue to prevent himself from laughing. he respects sensei that much............ ]
But yeah, I... have never had roast pig before. [ something like that's too luxurious for doppo's budget, but now that they're here on their """"honeymoon""", ] Let's go get some, then.
[ it's just lechon, right. shouldn't be too hard to find. ]
