[Wow, he actually did wear it for a little while?? Shocking... Not that Yato can blame him for having that kind of attitude towards the little scrap of fabric - it can give you a devil of a time. One of the reasons he favors a scarf over anything more formal and fancy. He'd be fine with no neckwear if that suits Bakugo. He wants everyone to be happy, after all.
I mean, fair enough. Yato fully deserves to have his ass handed to him on a platter for this stunt, even if the actual request is a worthwhile, sincere one. He needs to learn some manners when it comes to bothering other people! And the best way to do that is an ass-kicking of the highest order.]
Aw... you're so serious sometimes, Katsukiiii... [Yeah, still drunk, in case he was wondering.] But fine. Dropping that.
[He knows when he's reached the point of irking Bakugo by now, at least somewhat while drunk. Besides, if Bakugo has a problem should Vash want to wear a dress, they can take it up with each other.]
Uh huh. [Because the sakura trees hold so many special meanings to them both. More than he'll likely ever tell anyone, so it's fitting to add another special occasion to the list. He doesn't have any idea about the weird effects, though. It's never come up.] Oooh, yeah. Gotcha gotcha~ Making a note of that now!
[Bakugo's so smart, even when it comes to color coordination! There seems to be precious little he can't do, really. This is why Yato wants him as best man. He hits upon points that would fly under Yato's radar until the last moment, when it would be too late to correct them. Oh boy... This is gonna be the best wedding ever...!
So slick, Bakugo! Making use of the knowledge you've gained dear old mom and dad!]
Huh? Really? Dammit... it'd suck if that happens again. Thanks for the heads up. We'll need to see if anyone has some kind of wind powers or something and might be able to help stir the air to keep it from becoming stagnant.
[There was a special reason for him beginning to wear it. He's not gonna get into that. Too long a story. Too heavy a topic. Bakugo doesn't mind scarves. Hates the cold enough to put up with wrapping it. Better than a stupid tie.]
When the hell did you get on first name basis...
[That's more muttered to himself than any real chiding. It's not like he's told Yato to stop. Tch. Bastard. At least he's not using "Kacchan" like Kaminari and Midoriya.
Irked as he is, Bakugo's also awake. He'll get back to sleep easily enough once he's thought of things enough. As for Vash in a dress, he's not gonna have a problem with it. Definitely gonna taunt him for it when they meet up, but beyond general dickishness, nothing mean spirited. STILL... mention it at least. Sheesh. Vash simply might not know.]
The months without kaiju attacks seem to always have some stupid occurrence or event happen. [He's been here a year; a veteran who hasn't figured out that pattern yet is an idiot. It's not as if Bakugo wants to detract from Yato's wedding. Rather, to make it the best he can, he drops the warning in case. Something for the god to juggle in his thoughts. There's no promise or telling if such a blossoming event will take place this year, but... better prepared.]
You can use fans and mesh tents if you need to compromise.
[Ah... Like that is it, huh. Yeah, Yato knows how that goes. Like why he names every single one of his shinki with the -ne suffix. It's a deeply personal story he shares with no one.]
Eh? Oh! Huh, I wonder... [Christmas. It was Christmas that did it for him. He may still call him Bakugo in public and to his face, but he can't help thinking of him as "Katsuki" sometimes now. It's a nice name, one that using gives him warm fuzzies from know they're friends. He doesn't typically do nicknames unless it's derogatory, like how he calls Bishmon "skank" despite them being drinking buddies now.
But yeah, so long as there's no actual fights going on at their wedding, he's good with anything, truthfully. He just wants everyone to enjoy themselves while honoring Hiyori as best he can. To that end, whatever she says, goes. If everyone were demanded to be in a dress, they'd be in dresses! (Thankfully Hiyori isn't that kind of girl.)]
Oh really? I mean, I guess it makes sense that after a lull, something is bound to happen to make up for it. [The warning is greatly appreciated, as he has no way of knowing what spring may bring. With luck, any strange happenings will be tame or avoidable to a degree. If not, best to be prepared, yeah.]
Oooh, good idea! Writing that down, too~ [He is, both recording it to the ocular's version of a notepad and to the physical one he has sitting in his lap.]
[That wasn't a question he was asking to answer, dammit. Whatever. Only a few people in his life call him Katsuki or Kacchan. They usually earn it or grab it. Apart from blasting a hole in their stomach, there's little Bakugo can do to stop them. Ultimately it ends up not being a big deal. Yato's earned his tolerance.
Bakugo's never much liked the few weddings he's been to. From the forced stuffy dress to not really knowing the people getting hitched to his mother and father's romance blooming all over again during the ceremony... Gross. At least the food tends to be good. If somewhat bland to his liking. Whoever had a spicy wedding?]
Tch. It's a pattern in this stupid place. [Normally life doesn't work nearly that routinely, but for whatever reason, Neo Tokyo experiences wave after wave of attack, then event, then attack, then event. He expects another kaiju sometime next month. Last year, he'd been raring to go for his first kaiju fight, so fucking impatient over having to wait and wait. This year, however... Battle scars run deep.]
You could ask other Outsiders if they have planning experience. [He would've mentioned one, but considering she did Wriothesley's funeral, Bakugo doesn't want to bring the topic to bear on Yato's happy night.]
[What do you expect from a slightly inebriated god? At least he didn't launch into a long-winded, gushing explanation of why. That he might have done if he was sober, actually. Thankfully Yato doesn't know about "Kacchan" or else he would definitely pick that up for special occasions. It's so cute...!
Bakugo's distaste for weddings is understandable for all the reasons given, though Yato hopes his own will be one of the more enjoyable affairs he attends. He's even open to his guests voicing their input so perhaps he can prepare a party all will find to their liking. If Bakugo prefers spicy food, that can easily be arranged, after all.]
Yeah, I'm starting to notice that... [From the way the kaiju show up every other month with happenings in between. The lull over the holidays has been somewhat nerve-wracking, truth be told. Like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Leaves him on edge and that makes sleep a bit more difficult.]
Oh that's a good idea, too...! Someone's bound to at least have done a little event organizing. [Ah, yeah... Definitely don't want to bother her if that's the last thing she's worked on, for sure...]
Yato's wedding already has three things going for it. One, Bakugo knows the person getting married. Two, his parents aren't here to slobber all over each other's faces. Three, he's not gonna have to wear a tie. Who knows what the food and after party are going to be like.
And no, he's not going to put his personal preference in on Yato's wedding menu. That's a shit thing to do.]
Nothing we can do about it. [Show up, kick the kaiju's ass, and deal with the fallout while some weird event happens as they recover from travel or injury. Bakugo also got antsy during the holidays, expecting something to blow up in their faces, but nothing did, and he ultimately realized it was going to be a quiet month to rest. Finally. He got plenty of good sleep. For reasons that started with D.]
Aa. Ask your girlfriend. Girls always have networks. [Look at him, being stereotypical to teenage girls. Though he'd be lying if he thought Ereshkigal would be against planning a wedding. She'd probably be happy to do something uplifting and help remove the dour shadow over her skills. Wriothesley wouldn't want them to mourn him forever.]
[Hurray for Yato's wedding turning out to be something that Bakugo might possibly be able to enjoy, then! The last thing the god wants is for any of his guests, especially one as special as Bakugo, to be uncomfortable or unhappy during the celebrations.]
True. Just gotta plow through it. [In a way, falling into this kind of routine is at least somewhat comfortable in its predictability, aside from the holiday lull proving almost more stressful than a kaiju month itself. But if that's something that happens every year, then at least they should know by now? Even if it's somewhat upsetting to think about being here for a whole extra year...]
Really? Huh, I guess you're right... She definitely had friends to rely on back home. She probably has a bunch here, too. [He's not wrong in this case, at least. Besides, it's meant to be a day for Hiyori, so getting her friends in on the planning and organizing would be ideal compared to Yato himself trying to handle everything alone. And the more people they can involve, hopefully they'll be able to share their happiness with them. Heavens know they all could use some positivity, even now after all those months ago.]
[He griped about going to the meal/speech portion of a hero support gear convention on a floating island. Aka: even if he's having fun, it's rare he's actually going to show it. Might even look uncomfortable when he's not really. Just one of the perks of having a bad case of RBF.
Yato's not wrong about comfort in rhythm. Unfortunately it's so damn destructive, it can't get "boring" in its existence. Contrary, it's frustrating this pattern's formed and nothing seems to change upstairs. There should be better prediction, better preparation. Sitting around and waiting each time fucking sucks. Bakugo shoves the thoughts aside, not wanting them to ruin a far more entertaining topic. If it weren't so damn late at night...]
Make sure you discuss your decisions with her. If you two can't agree on something, work it out. [Probably use wedding planning as some kind of practice exam for how compatible they are. Or something. He doesn't know; weddings were never big in his life.
Just make sure there aren't too many cooks in the proverbial kitchen. Above all, this is Yato and Hiyori's wedding. Everyone else needs to understand and accept that before agreeing to help in any way.]
[Haha... Well, as long as he's actually enjoying himself despite what he's showing outwardly, then it's all good. Not everyone needs to be so transparently happy as people like Yato himself. Even the RBFs are welcome.
All points he can't and doesn't want to argue, honestly. Especially since their time in Seoul, things have been way too crazy in a bad sort of way. It often feels like they're not making any progress at all, if not flat out failing and falling behind by letting people get hurt, even if they don't mean to. But ah well... What can they do but continue trying?]
Will do~ Can't have me deciding everything only to find out it doesn't appeal to her. [It'll be a good testament to how well they can problem solve and work together, that's for sure. It's a big undertaking, wedding planning. So no shame in getting help, though he's right about too many cooks being a potential problem. Yato's the sort who wants to please everyone, so he has to keep in mind the most important person of all: Hiyori.]
...you haven't met her, have you?
@ typhoon wow i claimed page three with this glory
[That's basically what happens. Growls, scowls, goes back home, lies in bed, calls it stupid... then rolls over and admits it wasn't that bad as he relaxes. Yato can be be happy for a million people. Katsuki's gonna be himself.
Yeah, his confidence was shaken hard in Seoul, both his trust in LILITH's ability to direct them successfully and his own faith in the correct decision of the Outsiders. They were different, but unified with varying thoughts until then. After Seoul, however, now a major chasm splits them, those who wanted to stay and those who wanted to chase. Eternally available for comment and dragging up in word and thought. Romania didn't help matters either, their security ripped away by kidnapping and helplessness, followed by a divide between those who killed and those who didn't.
And that's not even mentioning progress. One more monster down, another one takes its place. But if there's any silver lining, it's that they're not getting calls screamed at them every week about kaiju showing up all over the world. So that's... something. One every other months is better than getting blitzed.
Anyways. He can bitch about that to Yato another time.]
No shit. Starting your marriage out at odds is for losers. [Plus preferences and likes, though if you don't know that about someone already, you probably shouldn't be getting married. Holy fuck, NO YATO! Don't please anyone but your wife and yourself when it comes to your wedding, dammit! If Katsuki gets a mere whiff of Yato wanting to change something cause some shitty extra doesn't like it, he's going to have the god against the wall.
[Those months definitely did a number to the unity of their teams, that's for damned sure. Perhaps that's why it seems like LILITH is intent on putting them through these team-building exercises in an effort to repair the damage that's been done from their mistakes. Whether it actually works or not remains to be seen, but hopefully it won't hurt any. They need to get their act together if they're to continue facing off against the kaiju as a unified group.
But yeah. Better a steady trickle of kaiju than a huge flood the fuckers. The former they can handle, the latter... Not so much.]
And I definitely don't want to be a loser in that way, heh. [Thankfully he's got a pretty damn good idea of what Hiyori likes and doesn't like already, so that's not a problem overall. Though Katsuki might have to throttle him a bit if he gets wind of Yato being a bit of a pushover regarding his own wedding. He's just dumb like that sometimes. Idiot god, indeed.]
I think you'll like her. She's sensible and has a good head on her shoulders. You'll have to tell me what you think once you guys do meet.
