video post | decking the halls
[The video starts shaky--it's Fai holding his cellphone as steady as he can, aimed at himself as he's walking backwards in front of a large, beautiful house. There's a ladder braced against the front of the house and it looks like there's another man on top of the ladder, stringing Christmas lights. For those who haven't seen him recently, Fai is wearing an eyepatch over his left eye.]
Ah, hi everyone! [Fai is grinning and waving at the screen. If you've never met him before, he speaks with a faint but noticeable French accent.] Long time no see! I just wanted to let my friends know I'm still alive, and--well, as you can see, I've been a little busy!
[He shifts the video to focus on the house.]
This is my new place! Pretty great, huh? [The video pans over to the man on top of the ladder. People who know Iwai will find that jacket and hat remarkably familiar~!] Oh look, and there's my cute boyfriend! I'd have him wave too but I don't want him to fall off that ladder~
[The video focuses back on Fai again, still grinning.]
So if anyone's looking for me at the old apartment, I've nearly got all of my stuff moved out and I'll be here from now on! You should all come visit!

[Fai pours a glass of water for each of them, then slides his own plate onto the counter next to Iwai and rounds the end of the counter to take the barstool next to his boyfriend.]
There are still a lot of Japanese dishes I've never made though, so you might have to give me lessons! And tell me what your favorite is so I can learn how to make it!
no subject
Sukiyaki.
[Yep. That's his favorite.]
no subject
Isn't that a disco song?
no subject
[Disco song? What? Look at the confusion on his face.]
no subject
[Fai bites his lip, brow furrowing in concentration for a moment as he tries to remember, then he starts to hum the tune to Sukiyaki. It sounds remarkably like the tune to Ue o Muite Arukou, one of the best-selling singles ever and something Iwai might recognize...?]
no subject
You're humming Ue o Muite Arukou.
no subject
What? That's Sukiyaki, by Taste of Honey! Here--
[Okay, lets see if he can remember the lyrics.]
It's all because of you I'm feelin' sad and blue
You went away, now my life is just a rainy day~
no subject
[He is...SO CONFUSED.]
no subject
[Fai snuggles up next to Iwai on his barstool and pulls out his phone. It doesn't take long to come up with the answer.]
Ooooh I see! The song I know is kind of like a cover of the song you know, except apparently they just took the tune and re-wrote the lyrics altogether! And they just called it Sukiyaki for English-speaking audiences because none of them knew what sukiyaki was anyway.
no subject
The other stuff on there before that one showed pictures of what sukiyaki is, by the way.
[Seriously. They didn't even realize it was a food they were naming their song after...]
no subject
[He flips back a bit on his phone.]
Ah, that looks yummy! I'll bet I can manage that. Oh, I also meant to ask you! Are there any cute things Japan does for Christmas?
[Yes, this topic shift makes total sense to him, shhh.]
no subject
[He hasn't even realized that Valentine's Day is going to be an interesting day for them considering Japan celebrates that one differently too.]
no subject
[Since he's already snuggled up as close to Iwai as he can get with the two of them on separate stools, he just leans against Iwai's shoulder and grins up at him.]
In France we had a family dinner on Christmas Eve, but we can do that on Christmas day and save Christmas Eve for you and me, if you want?
no subject
[Iwai pops the last of his tamago into his mouth and finishes up his water. He's not trying to get out of cuddles here but he does actually have work to finish on the house.]
So, boss, am I on the clock again?
[Okay so maaaaaaybe he'll cuddle more if Fai asks. (He totally will.)]
no subject
[As if he wasn't going to anyway, let's be real.]
no subject
[As if he even minds...]
no subject
[Fai sighs dreamily.]
...all right, you'd better get out there if you're going. Otherwise I'm going to steal you and drag you to my bedroom. Like a dragon taking you back to my hoard of treasure~!
no subject
[Guess who isn't the least bit scared.
He gets up and ruffles Fai's hair to get it extra fluffy before heading back outside again so he can get the rest of the lights up. They should be done by nightfall so that's something at least.]
