[ Not! A dog! Koga feels the protest rise again the second that he's called a guard dog, but mulishly sets it aside when he's told that he'll be given a reward. It makes his chest feel gooey, sticky, something that's obnoxious but amazing all at once as he curls up just a little bit more, presses the phone that much closer to his ear.
Rei can't see his face, but Koga smiles stupidly at the back of the couch where he faces it. ]
Hinata still can't shut up about that kid he likes, and Yuta cried 'cause a frog landed on his shoe, but they wanna build a treehouse in that bigass tree ya got in the back. Said it was the perfect size, or somethin'.
Ah... so it seems they've moved on to convince you. [ rei chuckles, his deep laugh warm through the phone as he imagines his two twins tugging on koga's shirt, making puppy eyes. is a puppy immune to puppy eyes? only one way to find out. ]
They've been asking me to build such a thing for months. Alas... my bones are old. ~ [ rei, who can lift a grand piano with a pulley and his own strength... ok. ] Perhaps you may be the savior they so need, puppy.
[ ok.jpeg, Koga has literally seen Rei lift shit that takes at least two people to get off the ground, but sure. Whatever he says. But the fact the twins are trying to talk him into the stupid treehouse doesn't shock him. ]
Well, if ya wanna do it, I can get some shit together, prob'ly... [ Still, the twins' sad eyes and the domestic idea of doing something like this for the Sakuma family that he cherishes so much... yeah, he likes it. ] I made Leon's doghouse at my parents' place, s'just a bigger version.
[ charming. koga is clearly wrapped around the twins' pinky fingers, though rei certainly can't blame him. he is too, a little. he'd adopted those twins for a reason, and adores them with every piece of his heart, so... if this domesticness gets them what they want, he's just fine with it.
(and in his heart of hearts, he loves it, too.) ]
Then - [ and rei knows how he's phrasing it, does it on purpose, licking his lips briefly as he considers before he speaks. ] - let's build a house together. You and I.
[ Thank fuck that Rei can't see his face, because Koga goes silent for a moment as he stares at the back of the couch that he faces. His knees tuck up a little further, and he grins, like a goddamn idiot, thinking about the twins trying to haul two-by-fours through the yard to the tree. Thinking about Rei with his goddamn stupid parasol, standing there and not helping even if he can lift the couch single-handedly when someone's lost something beneath it and hold it there.
He thinks about sleepovers in a treehouse, the four of them (five with Leon) curled up together, with ghost stories and stupid songs.
And he thinks about living in this house with them, every fucking day, for the rest of his life. ]
... okay. [ Voice thick, but soft, Koga squeezes his hand around his phone. ] Yeah, we can do that, senpai.
