[True, true. But then most people don't have a personal chef employed at home (or an underclassman who waits on them). There's a market for showing idols fail at cooking, in an "aren't they so adorably helpless?" kind of way. But Hiyori wanted to avoid that sort of image for himself. He'd already had enough of being seen as adorably incompetent at home; his idol persona was meant to be different. He's the type who can accomplish a lot when he puts his mind to things, so it wasn't hard to pick up some skills.
Bakugo's question gives him some pause, since he'd never really considered it. Bakugo clarifies that he's talking about "in case he gets a cold," and not for other reasons, like suspecting he's about to become a statue on purpose. Still, they both know a cold isn't the only thing that might hinder his singing. Even if he did decide to stick around, he could still disappear at any time. Just like Jun did, and just like so many of their other friends did.]
I'm normally not the type who catches colds! [He can't help but chime.] But I suppose there's no reason to think a recording wouldn't work. And I do have lots of those on my phone, since my smartphone has all our music.
[In other words:]
We'll just have to test it!
[All the more reason to skip to the other room and grab his smartphone, which is what Hiyori does next, despite Bakugo's complaints. When he suggests cleaning at the same time as singing:]
You mean like when we all sang "Cleanup Time" as kids? [A carefree shrug as he re-enters the sitting area, paired with a bright smile.] Sure, that sounds fun! But if you want to go that route, you'll have to sing along, too. I'm sure they'll also appreciate your voice, since you know how to project it loudly. So, let's both sing! ♪ Unless you'd rather test the recordings first. Which will it be?
[He waggles his phone after pitching that question. And no, he still hasn't made a move to clean anything up yet.]
[Finally finishing with Jun's items on the couch, Bakugo heads for another area of Hiyori's room to tackle straightening it in preparation for further work. While he isn't gonna hurry the idol through figuring out what to do with his boyfriend's things, leaving it lying around all spread out and forlorn won't help Hiyori process anything. It'll remain where it was. This way, the idol at least knows the first steps are already taken, and he doesn't have to flounder at the bottom, wrestling with indecision and emotion.
Hiyori pauses and Bakugo frowns his way. Did he never think of what might happen if he lost his voice or couldn't sing? Fuck, people take pains to water their plants when they aren't gonna be home for a while, either hiring someone to come by or using contraptions. Mattaku, this guy's so clueless sometimes.]
You want me to list other reasons? [Snapped right back in knowing threat. Don't brag like an ignorant! You know what he was implying with his question, Parrot! He turns back to his previous work, content Hiyori believes a recording will be as effective. Good to know. But if the guy does leave, will his phone remain behind? Since it was "brought" here to this world. A duplicate at least. Likely, since the resort copies so much shit from people's worlds.]
Go for it. [Muttered dismissively through his teeth. Bastard used the excuse to skip out on his section, dammit! Bakugo's only doing the table and the rest is left for Hiyori to finish!]
Haa?! Preschoolers sang that! [He barely remembers the lyrics! Good thing too! Papers stack neatly on end before dropping to the table with a breathy slap. Wait- what?]
Oy! They're your flowers feeding on your voice! I'm not singing shit for them! [As if Hiyori expected anything less than RAWR over such a request.] Check the recording first. That's more important.
