[ Kyrie wanted to give him a little bit of space since he seemed rather agitated Sometimes Nero needed to let off some steam and then he bounces right back. She wasn't sure if it was because of a talk with someone, or if this place was getting to him, but whatever this was, it didn't seem like it was leaving him.

Taking a deep breath, Kyrie sends Nero a text message. She figured at least this way if he was busy he could always answer her when he could. ]

Hey Nero. If you aren't busy, would you like to go for a walk with me?

[unfollowed]

[ Oh it had definitely been a particular conversation that had dampened his mood but Nero wasn't about to let it show too much around Kyrie.

And yet.. Kyrie always had a way of knowing something was wrong.

He's out on the town, looking for a job, when he gets the message from Kyrie and, coming to stop on the sidewalk, it sends a message right back to her. ]

Sure. Whereabouts are you?

[ Since there's five cities and all. ]

[faithfulsinging]

At the moment I'm in the main city near some apartments. Garden Park Apartments? It's across the street from a cute looking park.

[unfollowed]

I think I know where that is.

[ Is she looking at apartments for herself already? ]

I'll be there in a few then.

Need anything?

[faithfulsinging]

[ Honestly she was just trying to memorize the city a little more, but she got distracted by the cute little park. ]

Take your time, it's rather nice out.

I'm fine, thank you.

[unfollowed]

Alright then. See you in a few.

[ And it's after that message that Nero makes his way to the part of the city where Kyrie is waiting for him.

Honestly, he takes a little bit of time but not too much. It's not as if he goes blazing through the streets, jumping from rooftop to rooftop like he had that one night when Kyrie had first arrive. Instead, he takes it a little slower, lost in his thoughts before the familiar sounds of buckles and belts can be heard as he approaches her, doing his best to give her a bit of a smile. ]

Hey, didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?

[faithfulsinging]

[ She always gets a little sense of peace when she hears that familiar sound of his clothes clanging around. She gave him a warm smile in return. ]

Hmmm~

[ She has a teasing tone to her voice and puts a finger to her lips in a playful manner before leaning over to lightly nudge him. ]

Of course not.

[unfollowed]

[ There's a bit of a grin that gently touches his own lips at both her words and the light nudge given to him. Kyrie's always been the one person able to pull him in from his whirlwind thoughts despite his shrugging off attempts for concern made. Even with being as difficult as he can sometimes be - sometimes wanting to protect her - she always manages to make him feel needed, wanted, like he actually has a worth to himself. Even within this world here, that doesn't seem to change.

Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he glances up to the Garden Apartments with a slight squint of his eyes; the sun is so bright. ]

Apartment hunting?

[faithfulsinging]

[ She shook her head with a small bit of laughter. Since his hands were stuffed into his pockets for now, she ended up folding her hands in front of herself instead.]

Though it does look nice, I was actually distracted by the park. It looks rather peaceful, don’t you think?

a poor attempt at date night

[unfollowed]

[ Literally, it is.

For the record, it's not that Nero doesn't want to take Kyrie out somewhere nice... it's that he sort of can't at the moment with his still in the process of getting a job and trying to conserve these red bills that he has. Sure, to be fair, he has a fair amount of them. But he's also eyeing apartments that they can move into so as not to have to put up with the shared commonspace in Genessia City anymore and so, saving money it is.

But, that doesn't mean he can't try and do something nice for Kyrie.

Thanks to a quick stop at Pan's Grocery and a fast food place, Nero pretty much has "the essentials" gathered for this impromptu date night. The only thing missing? Kyrie. Which, meeting her outside a slightly taller building in the city, he smiles when he catches sight of her approaching. ]

Hey. [ A hand rubbing at the back of his neck as he looks down for a second. ] Sorry for the short notice about this. Thought it might be nice or something.

Best attempt at date night***

[faithfulsinging]

[ Kyrie smiled brightly when she spotted Nero standing there. He could have asked her to come out at Midnight and she still wouldn't mind, because Nero asked. She knows it's been a little hectic with them both trying to find jobs, and... well she's sure her sleeping so closely to him in the tight space of his room must not be very fun for him, so being asked out really felt nice. Like a nice break to lighten their spirits!

Once she got close to him she reached out her hand to touch his arm softly. ]

I don't mind at all, Nero. I'm rather excited..!

kyrie is just too sweet

[unfollowed]

[ Her touch to his arm is enough to bring a smile to his face, gentle as it is. To know that she doesn't fear him, doesn't find him repulsive or see him as the very demons who have terrorized Fortuna and even their lives... he never says it, but it's reassuring to him in ways he's not so sure she can ever really understand.

He scratches at his nose, trying to hide that smile that threatens to give him away any further than it already has. ]

Yeah, me too.

[ To which, he glances up for a moment before he looks back to Kyrie. ]

Kinda have to go up to the top though. If you don't mind being carried up.

Only cause she likes Nero so much.

[faithfulsinging]

Up to the top? It's starting to sound rather secretive...

[ There was a tiny flicker of amusement on her face as she moved a little closer. She wasn't sure if carrying her around made Nero feel embarrassed, but she had to admit it was a little exciting. It's something she couldn't do in a million years, so being able to experience high jumps and super fast speeds with Nero was the next best thing. ]

gentle blushhhhhhhh

[unfollowed]

[ That might get Nero to chuckle softly under his breath as he maneuvers to scoop Kyrie up into his arms then. ]

Promise it's nothing too shocking but I also wouldn't get my hopes up.

[ And, speaking of up, that's exactly where he takes them with a couple touches against the building walls to give him the momentum he needs before he takes them up to the top of the building.

When he lands, he does so with care and, as always with Kyrie, he gently sets her down and scratches at his nose again briefly before he gestures ahead of them with his demon hand. ]

Well, this is it.

[ This being a blanket from the commonspace beds spread out on a little spot on the rooftop with their dinner (burgers and fries with a couple soft drinks) and a candle stuck in a brass candlestick laid out on the blanket, Nero hanging back a little so that Kyrie can go ahead first. ]

Like I said, it's not much but... thought it might be nice. [ A beat, he looks out to the horizon. ] And since there's not exactly much space or privacy back at that shared living space, figured this was a little better. The view's pretty good, too.

:’>

[faithfulsinging]

[Kyrie let out a delighted giggle as Nero brought them to the roof of the building. It really was a lot of fun to be carried around like that from him. When he finally set her down she brushed off her dress and finally got a good look at what he’s done. In a matter of seconds her eyes go wide and she holds her hands to her mouth in surprise.]

Nero...!

[ It was all so.... charming! Everything about this was beautiful! The candle! The blanket! Everything about this was beautiful. ]

[unfollowed]

[ Beautiful trash maybe? Because... this isn't exactly luxury by any means. No five star rated cuisine here, not even a nice egyptian cotton blanket for them to sit on. Though, at the end of the day, if Kyrie was happy, that's all that really matters, isn't it? ]

Hope a couple burgers and fries is ok?

[ He leans over to Kyrie a little, trying to gauge her facial expression before he just chuckles a little under his breath and makes his way over, feeling around in his jacket pocket for a lighter so that he can light the candle. At least that's a touch of class or something? He's not all that good at this, what a shocker. ]

Pretty sure there's some pies in there for dessert as well.

[ The small little baked ones typical of fast food places... super classy. ]

[faithfulsinging]

I can't believe you put all of this together for me... You thought this all up just... so we could have a nice evening together... Nero...

[ The lighting will have to wait. While she normally keeps her affection soft and gentle, as if afraid it might bother Nero, or maybe make him nervous, she couldn't hold back. She quickly moved in to wrap her arms around him as tightly as she could. ]

Nero it's perfect...!

[faithfulsinging]

[ It wasn't really a special occasion of any sort. Kyrie just wanted to surprise Nero with a delicious meal, one he might find very exciting. With him working so much and doing so many things to give them this warm apartment to share, it was the least she could do, not to mention, she's been so excited to cook for him lately.

When Nero gets home from his shift at the Auto repair shop, he'll be greeted with the smell of a delicious pot roast cooking, wafting through the door, and the sound of a voice humming a lovely tune. There wasn't really a song to sing, just a certain bubbly feeling she was feeling, so she hummed out happily.

While everything was cooking she thought she'd get some cleaning done, so she had picked up a broom and started cleaning, perhaps getting a little too into it because after sweeping for a while she started dancing with the broom, that cheerful tone still in her voice. ]

[unfollowed]

[ Working at an auto repair shop isn't nearly as thrilling as slaying demons but, with Dante's offer to more or less be there as a punching bag when he needs to let off a little steam (thanks, demon side), it hasn't been as bad and, truth be told, he's rather good with vehicles. Plus, added bonus of no blood getting on his clothes, just grease.

Which? Speaking of, he's a little covered in paint and grease as he comes through the door, jacket slung over his shoulder and a somewhat tired expression on his face; even with having spoken to Dante recently about his tiredness, it's still there in some fashion and not anything that's going to magically disappear in a day. Trying to get a grasp on straddling both the human and demon side of yourself is a little trying some days.

But it's the scent of something delicious cooking in the kitchen that gets him to perk up a bit as he closes the door behind him and it's stepping out of the little hallway there that he catches sight of someone dancing with his Kyrie. yes, his. Try as he might... he can't help but chuckle softly under his breath. ]

Who would have thought a broom had better moves than me.

[faithfulsinging]

[ Kyrie had gotten so into the sounds of the cooking and getting lost in her own song that she didn't hear Nero come in. When he spoke up she froze, dropping the broom to the floor. ]

Nero..! You're home!

[ Please tell her you didn't catch that embarrassing display! She knows she wasn't that lucky but humor her!! ]

[unfollowed]

[ Cocking his head to the side, he glances up to the ceiling for a moment. Nope. Didn't see a thing. ]

Yeah, finished a little earlier than usual. Thought I should wash up before having whatever it is you're cooking in there.

[ He smiles to her. ]

Smells delicious like always.

[faithfulsinging]

[ She cleared her throat a little, bending over to pick up the poor broom and setting it against the wall. Even though her face was as red as could be, she crosses the rest of the way to give Nero a quick little kiss. ]

I hope you worked up an appetite then, because I made quite a bit for the two of us.

[unfollowed]

[ Humming, he allows his demonic arm to snake around her waist and hold her flush against him, lips curling into a bit of a smile. ]

Don't know about that, but that can always be done other ways.

[ And, with that, he leans in to kiss her nice and proper. ]

[faithfulsinging]

[ Nero!! She let out a flustered noise, but it didn't seem to deter her from kissing him back. In fact her arms seem to wrap right around his neck to hold onto the kiss a little longer. It was hard to resist after all. ]

[unfollowed]

[ That makes two of them. However, he would feel terrible if he was the reason for her cooking to burn and so, after a moment, he pulls back with a playful nip to her lower lip and a bit of a smile on his own lips. ]

I should get washed up. Don't wanna get grease everywhere.
