            Joshua sighed with impatience and looked over at the man’s face behind him, who was concentrating on something else of Joshua’s.
            “This is so unnecessary, Sanae,” he said.

            “Hey, it’s not my fault you never take care of yourself. You always take care of your face and your clothes just fine, but this…” Hanekoma replied easily. They’d had this discussion before.

            “But that’s because I almost never show- I rarely need it! And it can look so ridiculous,” he replied with impatience.

            Hanekoma looked up at Joshua’s face with a raised eyebrow, silently reminding him that he had one too.

            “That’s not the point. It’s fine on you. But me… you of all people would know that I’m certainly no angel. And I’m so much more than a Reaper. And I’m clearly not human. I just don’t think I need it.”

            “Hey, I don’t know whether or not you need it, but you still need it to be taken care of.”

            Joshua sighed and closed his eyes as Hanekoma continued massaging the body part they were discussing.

            “Hey boss,” Hanekoma spoke up after a minute. “You have to admit, you may think it’s unnecessary, but you still like it, don’t you.” He said it as more of a statement than a question.

            Joshua frowned slightly. He hated getting to this part of the argument. This was the part where Sanae was right, meaning that he had to be wrong. He hated being wrong. He rarely was. He paused for a minute, hoping his partner would forget the question, really not wanting to answer it, but, just like every other time he asked, he didn’t forget it in the slightest. He sighed, and answered slightly sullenly. “Yes.”

            Hanekoma smirked, just a little. “I thought so. Well, we’re almost done here, anyway.”

            A minute or so later, Hanekoma stepped back and offered Joshua his shirt. “Here. It would hardly do for the Reapers and Players to see their Composer shirtless, would it?”

Joshua himself stood up and flexed the body part his Producer had just finished working on.

“Besides,” Hanekoma continued. “Even though your set of wings looks good after I finished grooming it, maybe you shouldn’t go advertising just who you are this early in the Game, huh?”

Joshua glanced over at him, grabbed his shirt, and put it on before striding out of WildKat. “I know that, Sanae. Meanwhile, I want to watch this Game. Aren’t you curious about how my proxy does?”

Aw, that was cute. <3 Silly Joshua. I bet wings would look just fine on you if you let them~

(and don't worry about it being late! I'll just take it as a birthday present instead of a late Christmas present, how about that? xD)

(Sounds good to me~ Oh, and happy birthday if it's around now! :D)
