[It had taken a few days to come up with the right amount of money from all of his hunnies for this, but some time after all of the shenanigans are said and done, Zelos purchases a whole assortment of ribbon ties. They're a variety of colors and textures, but all the perfect length and thickness, and he waits until everyone is out of the apartment to sneak over to where Kunikida's designated space is and drop them off.
They're packed neatly in a simple brown box, tied with a pink ribbon that also holds a note slid underneath. It's folded a few times, and there's a weird heart scribbled on the outside of it, but once Kunikida opens it, he can enjoy this short read. (All of the emoji are little doodles.)]
My Dear Kunikida,
Remember that time we had to use your ribbon out on the streets? 👜 📖 This is to make up for all of that! You're always wearing the same boring outfit, but now it's missing a critical piece! 🎁 Maybe you can try some color coordination with these. I bet Reim would tie one in your hair, if you want.
There's no need to thank me! 💛 Let's call it even for letting me stay with you guys. 🍞 If you're lucky, I'll even give you some fashion tips next time.
P.S. I ate the last of the melon again. Don't hate me!
Love, The Marvelous and Benevolent Fashion Savior, Zelos Wilder

Edited (a slightly smaller note) Date: 2016-04-21 07:06 am (UTC)
[What do half of these drawings mean, Zelos? It's so non-sequitur Kunikida thinks it may just be some bizarre form of fine art. It's weird, the whole note is weird and the implication that Zelos thinks this is enough to make up for moving in is laughable, but the sentiment is there.
He reads the note five and a half times before poking through the ribbons. Some are statements, exclamation points to outfits he'll never wear, but some of the others are salvageable. Maybe even nice.
When Zelos enters the apartment, it's empty save for Kunikida. He uses it to his advantage, poking his head around the living room doorway. The ribbon on his neck—a dull orange—might seem slightly familiar.]
[He'd expected a comment, maybe. Even some yelling... But this? This is strange. Is he going to thank him? He doesn't seem like the type for that, somehow, but he's wearing one of the ribbons... Or maybe he wants to yell about some ridiculous part of the letter in private?!
Or... could it be he has some deep secret about the ribbons!?
There are so many possibilities, but he hesitantly inches forward.]
[Duh? What else? Anyway, he's already walking into the bedroom. In fact, he'll be winding up the cord for the vacuum by the time Zelos walks in. Guess that explains what he was doing.]
You need to stop eating all the melon. It's not cheap, you know.
[There's a definite sense of exhaustion along with the message he sends Kunikida-- Chuuya is not having a good time. He's harassed someone into helping him replace his crystal, he's already contacted Dazai, and he still feels completely and utterly like shit. Just let him lay here for the next month.]
[ It may be [insert date] as agreed upon, but it's a little before [insert time] when the trainer arrives at the agreed meeting location, Red not actually wanting to bother with exact times or being late when he could just be early and prepared instead. All the other guy had to do was show up, whereas he had to get his team ready to show to see if there was anything they could do for the future party.
Which was actually exciting, if completely out of what they usually do. But there was no harm in trying anything new, and Charizard's flames were going to be a thousand times cooler than anyone else's--
Whenever Kunikida should make his way to the lake, the small group will be just outside Verens, hard to miss with the orange form of Charizard to be seen, followed on by Miss Not-A-Snail Lapras, a purple figure near as big as Red lazed on Lapras's back (...yes, those spikes are going through them), and a yellow dogfox thing which will alert the group to Kunkida's incoming presence, ears pointed up and his fur spiking as well.
Oh boy. So exciting indeed. Red will be sitting on top of Lapras's shell along with Gengar because he can. ]
[This is the oddest display of power he's ever seen. Sure, it's not meant to be that way but there is something intimidating about a kid lounging on a giant snail with a zappy fox-thing and giant ghost circle while a fucking dragon chills in the back.
Kunikida arrives at the exact time he stated, down to the second. He pulls a leaf out of his hair as he picks his way towards the lake, finally stopping a fair ways away from the giant everythings. Arms crossed, he keeps a wary eye on the dragon.]
... There's more than I thought.
[Here's looking at you, fat circle and spike dog.]
[ As Kunikida comes and decides over there is where he wants to be, Red jumps off from Lapras's back, Gengar following suit with a tilt of her head in interest for their guest arriving and joining her trainer some way. ..until Red motions for her to stay where she is, a request she accepts with a grin but making a face and stance similar to Kunikida's once Red's back is turned.
Lapras and Charizard watch silently, expressions less animated than the spike dog who doesn't want to miss out on the action and decides to plop himself right next to fat circle. New person, new person!! ]
We didn't get to talk about Gengar and Jolteon! [ But here Red is, ready to talk about them now as he takes a step aside to gesture to them. Gengar stays cross-armed, but flips her frown upside down!! ]
Gengar's the purple one and Jolteon's the yellow. Gengar's a ghost who can mess with shadows and and pull off spooky tricks, and Jolteon's fast and can use electricity. [ A look back to the man. ] He's really good at jumping too.
[ Is that simple enough, we hope that's simple enough. ]
[Kunikida decides that Fat Circle's smile is worse than the frown. He also decides that "Gengar's a ghost" merits another foot or two back.
He points at Spike Dog] The—[Ah. Right. He clears his throat.]—Jolteon would probably be popular with whatever kids we get but...
[Ugh. He doesn't even want to look at the apparent ghost. Why are there so many monsters here? When will he be free?] ... Gengar might be some trouble. I'm not sure "spooky tricks" would go over well with the guests, let alone the woman we're trying to [spite] impress.
[Also, he hates spooky tricks. The last thing he wants to do is embarrass himself at his own party.]
[ His wariness doesn't even need to be obviously directed at her. She feels you over there, Kunikida~ ]
They don't have to be spooky tricks! [ Yet, not a second later- ] ...But you're right, maybe she wouldn't fit with everything else. She's been learning some [ uh ] nicer tricks, but you already have a lot going on anyway.
[ And he might be pushing it, wanting to do too much on short notice. Red looks back to Gengar and shakes his head, and the response to that is a 'blfffffttt' from the raspberry she's blowing, eyes glowing a deep red before, without warning, she shoots down into the ground and disappears.
Well, good bye. Don't mind that, Kunikida. Red isn't going to! ]
Anyway, what do you think about Charizard and Lapras? Charizard can breathe fire better than any person, and Lapras can give you all the water and ice you need! Her aim's great too!
[It's late. Reasonable people are probably asleep, and as Kunikida seems like a reasonably... reasonable... kind of guy, Chuuya isn't positive he's still awake.
Is that going to stop him from sending a message? SURE ISN'T.]
[When he lets Kunikida in and leads him back to the apartment, two things are immediately obvious: he did not make this dinner himself (probably expected, though it's still a couple steps above the closest local takeaway), and there is a small robot busy bumping into the leg of his table.
It's trying so hard.]
Not the fanciest, but I did what I could on short notice. This is fine with you, right?
