[geonomy]

yeah sorry hold on

[And with that, he sets Allen's device on his chest, then scoots away so he can comfortably try to wake him up.]

TIME TO GET UP!!

[save_the_souls]

[Unlike Clay, Allen was entirely comfortable on the floor and sleeping away. And also unlike Clay, he is not used to the morning wake up being SCREAMING. But at least it's VERY effective as he shoots up into a sitting position]

EH!? What is it- is everything okay?!

[geonomy]

[And he's still got it. Clay, in turn, gives a harmless wave and smile, as if he hadn't impersonated an alarm clock at all.]

Hey, good morning! Looks like we fell asleep before we got back.

[save_the_souls]

Huh? Clay? Why are you-

[he blinks a few times, clearly groggy and trying to work out what's going on. It seems to sink in a few moments later though as he starts to remember last night. He then blushes]

...Oh bugger. That's embarrassing, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to fall asleep, I was just really comfortable...!

[geonomy]

No, hey, it's fine! I fell asleep too, so it looks like we both had the same idea.

[He starts to gather his things: the container with what's left of the onigiri, the blue drink, and even the soda water, because he's sure his crewmates can find something to do with it.]

Anyway, I should head back; my crew's probably worried. Ino wanted to talk to you - [He gestures to the device - which has, at this point, fallen off of Allen's chest and clattered to the floor.] I, uh... kind of answered it, so sorry if you see some writing.

1/2

[save_the_souls]

[Well that helps, but he still feels very embarrassed. Stupid. Falling asleep on a guy on the second date argh. Excuse him as he self-consciously tries to fix his hair that now looks closer to bed hair]

[At least until he mentions Ino]

You did?

[Brb grabbing that device and doing a quick scroll of what was said]

2/2 VOICE

[save_the_souls]

[Annnnd then he turns the conversation onto audio so it's quite easy to tell whose talking]

Ino!

voice;

[ino]

[ Ah ... ]

Oh, you're awake!

[ She is an innocent angel ]

voice;

[save_the_souls]

I am now! How long were you going to let Clay think he was using his own communicator?

voice;

[ino]

I was just asking how it went, jeez! It's nothing he wouldn't have said in front of you anyways.

voice;

[save_the_souls]

[Nothing he would've said in front of him yet anyway. But he just rolls his eyes and decides not to argue. Too early in the...whatever time it was]

I had a lovely time. Sorry, I fell asleep before I could call you.

voice;

[ino]

It's fine, I was just worried something happened.

[ More like HOPING something happened ]

voice;

[save_the_souls]

Huh?

[He gives a small yawn.] No, no- nothing bad happened. We just dozed off during the races.

voice;

[ino]

Yeah, I got that from what Clay said.

[ Such disappoint. But at least she does a pretty good job of covering it up ]

voice;

[save_the_souls]

Y-Yeah...

[This is weird doing this when Clay is around even if he's packing up to go GAH]

Oh- um, thank you for helping with the food. It was a very nice surprise.

voice;

[ino]

Of course! I wasn't sure if we could pull it off, but I figured you would like it.

[ But more importantly ... ]

Anyways, you can tell me all about it later, okay? Go say goodbye to him!

voice; 1/2

[save_the_souls]

I loved it.

Ah- right! I'll send you a message later. For real this time!

text; 2/2

[save_the_souls]

[And then, after quickly glancing his shoulder to make sure Clay is busy and not looking- he quickly types in a message he's sure she'll get]

On the mouth! :D

text;

[ino]

[ WHEEZES!!!! ]

Congrats!!! ✧٩(•́⌄•́๑)

and back to action!

[save_the_souls]

[There's no response to Ino's text. He's turned the communicator off and turns to check on Clay]

Ah- sorry about that! Do you need any help packing up?

[geonomy]

[And last but not least is the visor, pulled firmly back on his head. All the food and supplies are packed, so he's good to go!]

Nah, I'm fine! I'll go ahead and launch off, give you guys some time to gossip. [Because he knows they're going to do that. And since they both kind of have morning breath and that's gross, Clay goes ahead and tilts his visor up a bit to kiss Allen's cheek rather than his lips.] Thanks for the date. I had fun!

[save_the_souls]

[He laughs a little]

I think I'll get coffee and shower first. [He threw Ino a bone, she can wait until he feels less like he slept on the floor of a waystation. But he smiles as the kiss on the cheek, and returns the gesture]

I did too. Message me sometime? I mean...if you want to do something again.

[geonomy]

Definitely.

[He gives a wink, just like last time, and straightens up to head off, though he looks back to wave with a cheerful grin. Time to get back to his ship and - ugh, try to work out all the sore muscles he got from sleeping on the floor.]

[save_the_souls]

[He'll return the wave and smiles as he watches him leave.]

[Once Clay's out of sight? He's so covering his face with his hands and saying "Oh my God" multiple times quickly into the cloth of his gloves so it's quiet and muffled as he bounces on his heels a little. TOO MANY EMOTIONS, NEED A MOMENT TO COMPUTE. OH MY GOD.]
