[Being unable to sleep is a blessing in that Joshua is awake all hours of the day. This time of day, the local TV stations are dark for a couple more hours, so he tends to alternate between reading and tidying up.
When Neku manages to catch him, he's in the middle of the latter, putting away the last of the clean dishes. The sound of claws on the floor catches his attention, and he turns just in time to see Neku entering the kitchen. The uniform doesn't go without notice, and he tips his head with a smile.]
And I look forward to seeing you put that Imagination of yours to good use.
[Josh's smile very briefly turns soft, and then he leans in, pressing a gentle kiss to Neku's forehead in an effort to keep their horns from getting tangled again.]

Oh? Whatever for? Surely you've only just walked in the door and haven't had a chance to go upstairs.

[His hands get dried on a towel, which is then set down on the edge of the sink while his hands slide easily into his pockets.]
I take it everything is to your satisfaction, then? I've been assured that it's very sturdy.
