[ Ask Miyuki a year ago, two years ago, and he would never say that he expected to wind up living his life like this. They have connections in the police, through Zono especially, but none of them were part of it. But then he'd met Sawamura Eijun, who assumed he was just a busker that was up to something until he had blackmail on him being a shifter and thus a magic user, illegal just by virtue of existing. After that... well, they progressed into partners. It was only fitting for them to make it official with the academy enrollment form.
He fills out the enrollment. He goes through the training without telling Eijun. (Eijun finds out, anyways, seeing him on the obstacle course and yelling his name, sending him face-first into the ground it startles him.) And, today, he wakes up before dawn for their early patrol to Eijun's face mashed into him, drool on his pillow.
He's pretty fine with this.
Extracting himself, Miyuki has learned, is easier when he shifts. Sometimes he wakes up in his animal form, Eijun hugging him like a teddy bear, but other days he has an attachment that's wormed his limbs around all of his. So he finds a way to work with it - this is how. He leaves his sleep mask behind, delicately moving so he doesn't stick his paws in any unfortunate places. But as he's getting on the other side of Eijun, he sticks his cold nose into Eijun's ear, snuffling at him. ]
Time to get up ~ [ And then he hops off the bed, shifting back mid-motion, so he doesn't get a flailing limb in his face. He needs to get dressed, anyways. ]
[ eijun never really thought miyuki was evil. had a nasty personality? definitely. but he's not a bad guy, and eijun was his number one cheerleader when he decided to go through formal academy training. of course he was freakishly good at it (he's miyuki) and it's almost hard to believe.
he's going to have a partner.
and not just any partner, either. a partner he's close with already, someone who he has a working relationship with, someone who makes eijun a better cop just by merit of being his (nasty) self. who helps make his days pretty good too, from the bullpen to the bedroom, and the morning of first patrol is no different.
eijun doesn't even notice when miyuki shifts, considering he's out like a light (work tires him out, like turning off an energizer bunny), and it's literally only when there's something wet in his ear that he snaps awake.
jerking into a sitting up position, eijun slaps his hand over his ear. ] Wha-huh--Miyuki!!
[ probably too early to be yelling like that, but he picks up a pillow and chucks it at his retreating back. ] You suck!
[ Miyuki laughs, because he is pretty nasty, and lets the pillow smack into him. It flops off his back and onto his tail, so he just curls it up so he can grab it and throw it back at him. Without his glasses, though, the aim is off - if it even hits his leg he'll be shocked. ]
So lively this early in the morning! [ Ears perked and grin wide, he snickers and heads over to check out his brand new uniform. He's worn it all of once, for the ceremony. He's... nervous.
Which is why he stops before he actually takes it off the hanger, rubbing his thumb against one of the sleeve's cuffs.
Not only is he a magician, but he's a shifter. He's a predator. He's been Eijun's partner on his assignments more than once, unsanctioned and there to keep him from getting killed by the more aggressive predators that are out there, vicious not for his own sake but for Eijun's safety. Now he's about to wear a badge.
He earned it. He has to remember that. ] What do you want for breakfast?
[ completely oblivious to miyuki's internal strife (as usual??) eijun complains at him when he throws the pillow, even though it lands far beyond the bed and on the other side. stupid cheating tanuki.
well, after that rude awakening, he's up now, and eijun swings his legs over to teh side of the bed and yawns, stretching out as far as he can and reaching down to touch his toes. his bones just feel tired, but there's that jittery energy of first day that still sings through his bones. eijun's been a cop on the force for a year now, but this is the first time he's ever had a partner.
(officially, anyway.)
he pushes to a standing position and scratches his stomach, looks at his own police uniform draped over miyuki's chair. ] Mmm...tamagoyaki! [ the best perk of miyuki kazuya the partner: miyuki kazuya the cook. yes please.
shuffling over, he goes to start getting dressed himself. surely, if eijun had a tail like miyuki, it'd be wagging. ] You could've let me sleep while you were cooking!
[ While staying at Eijun's is always better when it comes to avoiding trouble, and he actually doesn't mind how small it is, the whole fact it doesn't have a kitchen is always something that grates on him. No wonder he was so unhealthy about eating before. Probably a good thing that he decided to feed this random, loudmouthed cop.
And continues to. Miyuki glances over at him, his tail swishing behind his legs a little as he tries to sort out the blurry shapes of one Sawamura Eijun as he moves around. It's worth it. ] Tamagokyaki. Can do.
[ Quick and easy. He reaches to pull his shirt off over his head, dropping it on the floor and starting to get dressed after he stares down the uniform for a little longer. Something weighs heavy in his gut, but it's not dread. It's nerves. So he'll cook it away, put that feeling in his food, even something as simple as a rolled omelette. ]
Nope. Knowing you, we're going to need you up and at 'em now. Something's going to happen in the next hour.
[ it's kind of nice to see miyuki in his uniform. this is the first time eijun's really seen it, and he peeks over his shoulder while he's pinning on his own badge and pulling his cap over his head. for him, it's routine--he's been a cop for six months now--but today's a new day.
miyuki's not the only one with something rolling in his stomach, but for eijun, it's excitement. he has a partner.
they've come a long way together, miyuki's status as something different unimportant in the face of their partnership, the way they work together. it's why he spots miyuki changing and then says-- ] Oh, wait wait wait!
[ whirling around, eijun scurries over towards him, pausing in front of miyuki's buttoned shirt. he swipes the black box eijun gave him yesterday off the table, opens it, and then holds out the badge.
he gives him a bright, sunshine grin. ] It's gotta be special, it's a big day!!
[ and like that, he leans in to pin his badge to his chest, smiling to himself as he gets in close and helps solidify the fact that they're partners. ]
