I'll totally pose for you anyway. Buuuuut it is probably better if we save any shirtless modeling for after you're green again

[And excuse, but that last bit requires a switchover to video, just so Nida can properly see how much he means it, which means your commscreen is now full of Billy's face, camera held above him since he's clearly laying in his bed.]

That, mister, is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You are amazing, and I won't hear otherwise.

[The video pops up and oh geez, Nida's face is SO red. And also cushioned against Seifer's chest. Those probably don't have anything to do with each other. It's entirely because he took the spending time with his brother seriously. So, yeah, the camera is just placed just so that Seifer's smirking is definitely there on screen. Clearly the guy is amused.]

Yeah, I'd probably want to touch too much. Which is, like, how I've felt since we first met face to face in the dojo.

Seifer, I swear you better stop snickering. Don't say you aren't, I can feel it.

Okay, I'm amazing. But you're getting romanced.

[Billy's expression goes surprised, then faintly bemused by the background of the shot. Probably for the best he's still red, and therefore both unembarrassed and also not immediately jumping to the wrong conclusions. Also, not making the joke he half wants to, about how they haven't even been dating a week and here Nida is in another man's bed.]

You can romance away any time you want. I am a hundred percent Team Romance. I'm just also Team Nida's Fantastic, so.

Am I interrupting?

[Good thing he doesn't make the joke because Billy would have had it thrown back at him.]

I think Seifer's on Team I'm A Pillow Now. I elected him into it. He has no choices. Especially if he wants his network access.

[There's a shifty look in his eyes before he pulls the watch down to a close-up of his face so he can whisper.]

Wear what you wore to the young adult thing for dancing, okay?

[Billy laughs at that answer, his comm shifting slightly, coming closer to his face.]

Tommy's a frequent member of that team. Sorry, Seifer, kind of goes with the sibling territory.

[And then that grin shifts even more as Nida brings the comm in to whisper, the look on Billy's face dreamy as he gazes into the tiny screen.]

Gotcha. I definitely will.

I'll let you get back to network time--call me later?

[The device pulls back further and he has a bit of a thought. Then he smiles and shakes his head.]

Sorry, Billy. I don't think I will. Seifer doesn't know it, but this is part of his punishment for misusing his access to my wrist. He's doomed to be my pillow tonight. So another time. It's bro night. I'm tired from all my wall-walking. I don't think I can even make it back to my bed. Clearly I must hold Seifer's body captive.

[That would be a tiny pout he's making, but...he understands. He's had a talk with Tommy close enough to those lines to understand, anyway. Reassuring his twin that yes, he's sane, and understands the choice he's making, and also that he's not going to spend less time with him now that he and Nida are trying this. So yes, a pout, but not a proper sulk.]

I get it. Have fun, don't break anything. I'll see you for practice tomorrow?

Yeah, I'll be there. You're pretty good at keeping me motivated. See you then.

[Actually, yeah, that's exactly what this is, Billy. Except he needs so much more effort to get it through to Seifer. Simple as that. He offers a wave, then snatches one of Seifer's hands and makes him wave too. The video ends up ending there.]

All right. See ya--bye, Seifer.

[Because it'd be rude not to acknowledge a friend as well as the boyfriend, right? Obviously. Billy hangs up after that, then heads out towards the kitchen. A night in means a night to practice cooking, after all, and he and Tommy could use a hangout night, too.]

Later, Billy.

[He waves casually from the background. He's surprised Nida's ditching out on a boyfriend night to spend time with him. Surprised and pleased, maybe he is still important after all. Sometimes it's crucial to remind your family you aren't leaving them behind. Have fun with your own brother Billy!]

[This turned adorable and he's highly amused he's being allowed to sit in on it. Or, well, trapped and forced to really but you don't hear him complaining. Yet. Snickering is a definite even if he is denying it.]

I am a prisoner here and this is cruel and unusual punishment!

[He whines off in the background.]
