*A night of drinks in a different town, and he remembered inviting some cute guy over. He remembered the night pretty well, having not gotten that drunk to begin with.

*He was entirely coherent when he opened his eyes, if sleepy, nudged his green hair out of his face, grabbed a pair of his pants that had been tossed on the floor, and set about making breakfast for them bright and early.

*Might as well, anyway. It was his job to be a good host (even if he didn't... do this often at all.)*

Takano wasn't quite so used to the one night stand himself anymore, though that had been part of his more wild days back in college. But things had settled and, for a while, he had thought improved. Until he got too drunk to notice and somehow ended up back at this man's apartment. Still, he'd never been one to dally in bed while someone else was up and about and while Elazul is in the kitchen, he gathers up his own clothes, drawing out the time until he joins him in the kitchen. Just as he's shrugging into his shirt and now fully dressed, he puts on a polite smile and walks on in.

"Smells good. Don't suppose you've got coffee made already do you?"

"Ah?"

Elazul turns a bit to see him, a bit of worry crossing his face.

"I... no. I've never needed it, so.... Sorry. I don't even have a coffee maker...." He bites on his lip, and takes his hands away a bit in order to properly face Takano.

It's then that Takano might get two of the biggest clues that the person he slept with isn't human at all. For one, there's a deep blue jewel protruding from the center of his chest. For the other, his entire right arm appears to be made of crystal.

"Ah. But there's a coffee shop just a block and a half away." His expression brightens a bit, and he offers a faint smile. His right hand comes up and rubs at the back of his neck. "Sorry again."

If he hadn't spent so much time around shounen and shoujo manga alike, he may have questioned the man about the jewel and the arm, but instead, he just continued wearing that professional smile and eased into whatever free chair might be nearby.

"That's fine, I'll just grab some on the way to work then." He tilted his head, letting the smile fade a little as he gave careful thought to the man in front of him. "I wasn't a bother, was I?" Although he could remember a few vague things, he wasn't sure on the particulars.

As such, he was his own worst person: the kind that couldn't remember. Which just meant that right now, he'd have to work on putting the pieces back together. His reputation was on the line!

"No, you were fine." Elazul smiled fondly at Takano, reaching out to lightly ruffle the human's hair with his flesh hand. "I enjoyed myself, actually, so don't worry." There was a certain heat in his dark eyes as he added, "And for someone who was drunk, your libido was delightfully intact. Makes me wonder how you are when you're sober, but that's up to you."

Elazul withdrew his touch, and absently washed his hands before returning to handling the food.

He'd perhaps go into detail about the previous night - Elazul was just glad that he had gotten used to such things to the point that they didn't embarrass him as much anymore. He could enjoy himself - and talk about it - with very little inhibition in private (or appropriate) company.

There was a catch in his throat at feel of Elazul's hand on his head and before he could do more swallow, the touch was gone. But he could remember something, the flash of heat as skin rubbed against akin, of muffled voices and sheets slick with sweat. For a moment, he too, wondered what it would be like if he was sober and that disturbed him more than anything.

He had tried relationships before; all of them had failed. Even just the fuck buddies.

Glancing away, his gaze roamed the room, trying to find something of note to discuss and filling in the silence as he searched. "I'm afraid I don't usually drink that much; I'm usually much more restrained." Both at work and off and most definitely both in bed and out. But even so, he could feel the ache of muscles well used and it was a pleasant change from the usual.

His gaze finally returning to Elazul,he paused. "If you need help, I'm rather handy with a knife."

Elazul's home was slightly decorated with the odd trinket or two, and not too far away, on one of the spare chairs, sat an odd-looking harp. It wasn't that large, and it seemed that it would be easy enough to play it upon one's lap. Also, on the wall of the living room sat a scimitar-shaped sword with a round pommel, from which thick, soft-looking red tassels protruded from it. It didn't look like it was just for show; there were some visible nicks here and there that had mostly been smoothed out.

He allowed the first comment to pass without asking more about it, and just focused on the reality of their appetites.

"If you'd like, I don't mind. If you see anything you'd like in the fridge, feel free to add it or just eat it as is. I just figured we'd both like something fairly quick to make. This is almost done. Not quite certain about the rice. I'm still trying to get the timing down...."

What he has right now is apparently rice (still being steamed,) and some sort of vegetable stir-fry with eggs. It smells slightly spicy. His fridge is also fully-stocked with a variety of foods.

"I'm in no rush, but thank you for the consideration."

Takano smiled in appreciation and slid back out of his chair to investigate the refrigerator, pulling out a few pieces of fruit that might complement the smell coming from the stir fry. And if that failed, it could easily be molded around any leftover rice for a mid-morning snack.

Backing out of the fridge, he paused and then gave in to curiosity for curiosity sake. "Your arm seems a little strange. Did you have that done or...?" He raised his brow in query for only a moment before settling back down at the table, ready to slice his fruit into pieces for their morning meal. Something quick but filling; it was a good plan.

"Hm? Oh.." He flexed the fingers a little.

"...Kind of? It's a prosthetic." Smiling wryly, he continued, "My arm got cut right off just past the shoulder as a kid." Turning his body a bit, he lifted his arm a little to show where it was fused to his torso.

"There was a lot of trial and error in order to get it to be compatible with my body though. For awhile, it didn't even move."

A beat, and he considered something. "Ah. In case you don't know, I'm a Jumi. We're humanoids given life through the jewels in our chests." Another consideration popped up into his head. "We got fairly acquainted last night, but my name is Elazul. After what my core is made of." Lapis Lazuli. "Alcohol affects memory, after all. But, I still remember your name, right? 'Takano'?"

> morning after
