[ This is so out of left field that it takes Siegfried a moment to remember who this is.
When he does, the vague memory of being Not Himself resurfaces, and though it makes him instinctively react negatively, that isn't Jean's fault. too bad he doesn't fully remember what he'd promised Jean. ]
I'm sorry. Jean, was it? What is it that you needed help with?
[ You did it, Siegfried. You did the thing and now you gotta deal with the consequences. The consequences of.. good morning texts. Though, it's been a few days since they've seen each other, he's just checking in, but being obnoxious while doing so. ]
gooooooodddddd moooorrrrrnning handsome sorry i haven't gotten back to you in awhile i've been somewhat busy
anyway weird suggestion but i hope you'll take it seriously have you ever thought about wearing a jockstrap? cause i think you'd look nice in one
or maybe something floral like one of those hawaiian button downs
[ Moving to the table where Siegfried is relaxing at, Percival places a mug of coffee he's prepared for his old friend in front of him. He has a cup of his own that he's holding in his fingers, and he settles down beside the other man. On Percival's head are two black cat's ears that stand upright, and poking out from his trousers is a long tail that sways in the air. New additions for an idiosyncratic reason, as a result of Erku's magic.
After he tastes his coffee, he promptly spits some of it back into the cup with a look of disgust in his face. ]
Cat hair. Of course. [ His own cat hair, but still. There's probably a strand in Siegfried's cup too. this is cursed ]
[ It’s been about a week since Percival’s arrival in the Nameless City, and it would seem that the powers-that-be have little regard for how long someone has been here, as Percival had gone to sleep his normal self one evening and awoken as… an… erune? The next morning.
He himself had managed to evade the magic, somehow, but if it’s anything like previous curses, the way to return to normal was obvious (to him, at least). But that isn’t something he wishes on Percival, and if he’s already figured it out, perhaps it’s best not to speak of it.
He lifts his coffee cup to his lips and takes a sip. There probably is cat hair in his, too, but lbr, he’s drank worse before, so he doesn’t flinch. ]
That’s unfortunate. Do you want me to make you another cup?
[ The night before feels like a distant dream, and it's only the warmth of another body sharing the sheets with him and the sensation of muscled arms curled around his waist that alert Percy to the reality of what they had done. It goes without saying that there's a lot to take in, especially when it dawns on him that they might have changed the nature of their decade long friendship, but in the seconds after rising from slumber, even Percy doesn't find it in him to fret just yet. Instead, he's comfortable in those arms, nesting closer into the pocket of warmth as his lashes flutter open.
The first thing he sees is ... two eyes staring directly back at him, gaze unwavering. They're gold. ]
... Could you not stare at me? [ Shook. It's too early for this. ]
[ Siegfried hasn't actually been awake for very long. When he awakens, he has a brief moment of panic as reality sets in, but such a feeling is quickly quelled by the sight of Percival sleeping peacefully. He doesn't think he's ever seen the other man look so peaceful, so vulnerable.
Well, he had certainly seen a vulnerable side of him last night, and remembering as much makes him worry. They'd done it. Simple friendship couldn't return to what it was before after sharing a bed like this.
It doesn't feel wrong, he finds himself thinking, relishing the sight of him as his hands rest on the small of Percival's back. He doesn't dare move, lest he wake him—
Oh, too late. He's awake. And he's been caught. ]
Oh, sorry.
[ He gives him a small smile. ] Good morning, Percival.
[ Near the tail end of the merry month of December, Siegfried will find a small package sitting outside the front door of his beach house. Inside is a set of matching sweaters, along with a handful of dog treats and dog toys. (It's obvious who the favored one is here....)
There's also a folded note, which simply says: Merry Christmas - Eustace
ooc: you can pick whatever patten you want for the sweaters tbh, i just got lazy ]
Thank you for the thoughtful gifts. We will be very warm and cozy thanks to you. Merry Christmas, Eustace.
[ Attached is a pic of him and the pug wearing heir matching sweaters. except he's been trying out his hand at photo editing (thanks lottie) with what limited capabilities their bracelets have. and the result is something similar to this ]
[ Late at night, right when the sun has gone down, a package will find its way to Siegfried's front step. Inside, he'll find a brush (the backside a soft velvet, a perfect handle for grip!!), some robot-made treats in the shape of dog bones.. Each with a little bow wrapped around it! Underneath those trinkets, he'll find a carefully folded Lottie Person™ poster for him to hang on his wall - signed, and kissed, by the girl modeling on it. And beneath it all, there's.. A neatly placed letter!! When opened, it reads:
'Dear Siegfried,
I had a lot of trouble figuring out what you might want, so I hope you like what I got you, anyway! It's the thought that counts, right? I hope so, at least. Have a good one, Siegfried.
𝐗𝐎𝐗𝐎, 𝓛𝓸𝓽𝓽𝓲𝓮 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷
And, a few hours later, he'll find a photo in his inbox: a Holiday Themed Nude™! Yes, she is wrapped like a present. And yes, she is unwrapping herself. Happy Augerdays™!! ]
I received your gift. Thank you very much. Melon enjoyed the treat thoroughly. I assume the brush is for me, and it is very soft. Although I did wonder if this was a jab at my grooming habits...
Haha, just kidding.
Is the poster one of your recent modeling shoots? I placed it near the entryway, so that all who enter might appreciate it. Merry Christmas, I hope you have a peaceful holiday.
[ One cool morning, Siegfried is going to be accosted (furi: gently tweeted at) by three white doves bearing a small, brightly coloured package between them. They're all holding a piece of ribbon, with the box balanced in the center of it.
There's a note that says something along the lines of how he's not sure what day it is, as it was "in the middle of the most amazing spring storm" when he left Japan, but that he loves this holiday so much that he is going to celebrate it no matter what. He's signed it ☆♥☆♥ Wataru Santa...
Inside is a knit scarf, dark blue, with a silver-y sword pattern that might sparkle just a little at the tips of each wool blade. ]
[ Presents! Constance cares, and that's why she's giving Siegfried a pair of inflatable arm floaties. ]
Dear Siegfried,
May this present find you safe and sound, and may this present keep you afloat. Thank you for the cookies and the figurine, it shall have its place as one of the future heirlooms of House Nuvelle.
[ while zag has no idea what christmas is or anything about the tradition of gift giving, siegfried actually gave him something so it's only fair if he returned the favor. even if he, like. doesn't really have anything to actually give him, but an attempt was made.
after finding siegfried's beach house with the help of cerberus, zag leaves a bouquet of peach and red roses on his doorstep wrapped with gold ribbon. there is also a mug stuffed with the necessary materials to make hot cocoa (the powder mix, marshmallows, etc). ]
Siegfried,
Thank you very much for the wood carving and the cookies! I'm unfortunately not very familiar with mortal customs, so please forgive me for not having anything suitable to give you in return. I hope you enjoy the flowers and the chocolate drink, regardless—I've heard that it's a staple during this time of year.
Thank you again for thinking of me and merry Christmas.

have you ever thought about wearing a jockstrap?
cause i think you'd look nice in one
or maybe something floral like
one of those hawaiian button downs
[ A stark difference between the two, but sure. ]
no subject
[ As for the question, of course he'll take it seriously. He takes everything seriously. Even if he doesn't understand some of this. ]
I haven't thought about wearing either of those things. Truthfully, I don't know what they are.
Rather, I know what a button down is, but what makes it Hawaiian?
I do like flowers.
I've been told that my taste in fashion leaves much to be desired, so I appreciate the suggestions.

Siggy Wiggy Gettin' Jiggy,
Roses are red,
Booze, drugs and sex,
You're pretty cute,
and I'm obsessed with your pecs.
Here's something new for your wardrobe. Better wear it fast before it wilts.

Klaus shouldn't be surprised at the video he gets from Siegfried and he actually switches from text to video so he can applaude Siegfried properly. ]
Wooooow. Such moves. You're such a pro! I'm totally turned on right now.
[ Which is sort of a lie, sort of not. He can easy get turned on just by thinking of Siegfried, so there's that. ]
