[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.]

Welcome back. Good night at work?

[unlivinglegend]

It was quiet. I'm sure it'll pick up over the weekend.

[He walks over... and kisses Joshua's shoulder]

Thanks.

[leggierissimo]

More than likely.

[Oh, but that's surprising. One elegantly curved eyebrow arches, and he turns just a little, to more directly face Neku.]

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

[unlivinglegend]

Hmm, sure sure. And I haven't learned to recognize your handwriting either.

[leggierissimo]

[He laughs at that!]

You've been paying attention, I see.

[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.

[unlivinglegend]

It's perfect. The new lighting is really good too. Looking forward to trying it out on my day off.

[leggierissimo]

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.]

Happy birthday, Neku.
