[ The call of his name is probably his only warning before fingers lightly curl around the man's wrist to turn him on his path. Away from the bustle of the city and seems to be aiming for somewhere in particular. First, they must push through the crowds of people so he may or may not be moving to keep their hands linked. It's mostly done subconsciously and definitely with the help from a certain area's effect.
Jin seems quite happy to pounce on Niah in greeting and then stay annoyingly close. Just pressing her small arctic fox self against the side of the other daemon with a lick to his muzzle in hello! ]
Which housing were you placed in?
[ He leans in just a bit close to get his voice heard over the calling and shouting of merchants around. ]
[ They've? Never held hands before? Sure, they've dragged each other in different forms, so this should feel weird to him. It does, initially, but he's focused on the question.
Niah is more open and as a wolf he snatches her up into his mouth as usual. ]
The third house.
[ For once, Joonghyuk doesn't lean away, though he does think... This is strange for Dokja to do. ]
[ Heck. Jin should've expected as much, but it's fine, she's relaxed as she's held like a pup. ]
Third? Hmm, and your roommate?
[ He glances up at him, and it's only then he realizes how close he is. ..Ah. As if he realizes, he straightens a bit and looks back ahead of them. They're at least most of the crowd so he could let go but. Dokja holds on for a reason he hasn't dawned on yet. ]
[ They're in a less crowded area, but... Hm. This is weird, he doesn't want to let go of his hand and that really makes him angry? What the fuck is this feeling? ]
Ah. Right. I didn't think about that. [ ???? what else could it be? idiot ]
Oh, there's the outpost. [ And as if nothing happened, he's tugging their held hands over to the outpost while he looks around curiously. ] I'm roomed in the fourth house with Kim Kitsuragi. So, fortunately, I'm already acquainted with him.
[ He's not DRAGGING, he's guiding him! Though seeing that glare is a bit amusing, Dokja stepping in just a bit closer again to press just a bit against his side once they've reached the spot. Just simply to annoy him.
It backfires. Strange as it is, he leans into it. Jin may or may not be purring. ]
You never usually do. Suppose you won't tell me this time around as well. [ Technically Dokja does the same. ]
Desert nights are freezing, so I would need to find actual lodgings.
[ A sigh. Then he feels that press, looks over to see Dokja's expression, and his blood BOILS. ]
Now you're doing this on purpose.
[ Niah places Jin down so they can just lounge and chill at this outpost. Niah's hackles would rise up whenever Joonghyuk is angry at Dokja, but the cuddle effect is too strong. ]
[ Never want to buddy up smh. Dokja laughs lightly, and yeah he's pushing his luck by settling his head on Joonghyuk's shoulder. Except, now he seems curious, the way he watches the other's reaction. He really did want to tease him, but it's... comforting. Especially after all that stress and uneasiness from last week. It's nice. ..Damnit. ]
Do you hate it?
[ With Jin free, she's wagging her tail and pushing herself beneath Niah's front paws so that she can wiggle in between them and cuddle against the fluff. Squish squish. ]
Yes because this strange feeling is out of my control.
[ He doesn't quite... Mind it, though it's very strange. He's more hyperaware because this is Kim Dokja rather than someone else. Frowning deeper, he freezes up when he feels a weight on his shoulder.
[ There's trauma when it comes to Yoo Joonghyuk not having control. Hmm, he lifts his head after that thought, giving an apologetic smile. He feels maybe just a bit bad about playing into it. Just a bit.
He spares a glance at the two daemons. Well, at least they seem content? ]
Because as a reader I'm aware of even the smallest details. [ I don't know Dokja, why that exact detail?? ] How else should I have said it? I was just thinking about our conversation yesterday.
[ At that he snorts. They both can agree on that. Kim Dokja? Flirting? ] ..Other small details?
[ His brow knits, still staring at their hands, and actually seems to be thinking about it. What could he even mention? There are some things he could say out loud, but not everything. ]
You're very blunt and harsh, but it's obvious you still care with how you look out for others. You've always been an actions over words kind of man. Your left eyebrow twitches right before you make a serious decision.
And you also have a habit of dragging the tip of your sword on the ground when you're happy.
[ As Dokja thinks, Joonghyuk finds himself resting his head on top of Dokja's, mostly relaxing. He doesn't quite realize because he's focused on hearing what else Dokja wants to say.
To be honest, he guesses Dokja will talk about his smug mug or something, but. Uh. He retracts and looks at him?????? ]

You're holding my hand, Kim Dokja.
no subject
[ Dokja looks over at that observation, glancing down and seems to only just realize that he. Is holding. To Yoo Joonghyuk's hand.
He's holding it and his companion hasn't pulled it away yet. Yoo Joonghyuk's hand of all people. ]
..So I am.
[ ... ...
He still hasn't let go. But, his brows are knitting together, and he stares at it with clear confusion. ]
no subject
And they're still holding hands. There is clear confusion between both of them. ]
It's the strange effect this week, most likely.

[ FOOL! But he's dragged to the outpost, glaring at Dokja the whole time for DRAGGING HIM like a doll. He still glares at him when they're here. ]
I've talked to Monika a couple of times, but I don't plan to stay in the room.

I want to stab something more than anything.
no subject

If it'll make you feel better, you can stab me.
[ Hahaha just kidding. ..Unless? ]
no subject
Don't joke around, Kim Dokja.
no subject
[ May or may not sound genuine. He does lift their linked hands a bit to look at Joonghyuk's own. ]
...I could tell from the beginning you had regressed from your hands.
[ Trying not to make the situation more awkward but it's. Awkward. ]
no subject
[ Joonghyuk still have gloves because he's that kind of man, but we can pretend he isn't wearing them right now. ]
Trying to flirt?
no subject
How is that flirting? Why would I be flirting?
[ Squeezes his hand. ]
no subject
Why did you notice details about my hand? [ Joonghyuk thinks this is obvious— ] Why mention it? Or say it like that?
no subject
Because as a reader I'm aware of even the smallest details. [ I don't know Dokja, why that exact detail?? ] How else should I have said it? I was just thinking about our conversation yesterday.
no subject
[ They're still holding hands. ]
What about our conversation from yesterday.
[ WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GONNA SAY? Continue. ]
no subject
..N, nothing. That's it.
[ Anyways, doing what he does best, redirect the question!! ]
Do you think I'd actually flirt with you? I may as well be asking for you to kill me.
no subject
[ This is so weird and awkward. Joonghyuk is now thinking about the earlier statement. He frowns even more? ]
What other small details do you notice about me?
1/2

Wait, those last few things he didn't mean to say out loud. ]
