Oh, I found my room! I even have the triplets with me. [ Happily holds onto his hand. He feels spoiled all over again when he's given attention and affection from Makoto. Isn't he lucky? ]
But we can bring Biscuit up if we want to just go to the pet store ourselves. [ He's willing to follow his lead. ]
I already got Biscuit out, and if you already got your room settled, then let's just go to the pet store. Do you know where it is?
[His thumb gently stroked the top of JJ's. He was quite happy himself and a part of him wanted to take JJ inside and simply spend the day with him. But that wouldn't be very responsible of them. Third time, third world, but the initial responsibilities were the same. Find a house (check), get some clothes (sort of check), and now, get the animals situated. Everything else could come later.]
[It's said fondly and with a soft smile. He hands JJ the leash. Biscuit simply sat patiently, tail swishing on the sidewalk.]
Hold this.
[JJ wasn't good a directions, but Makoto generally was. So, he went with his original plan and went back inside the apartments to ask the front desk for some directions. It wasn't long before he was back out with the Notes app open on his phone and a list of directions. It wasn't very far and the directions seemed fairly straightforward.]
Alright, let's go. She said it was about a ten minute walk from here.
[ JJ knows that even the smallest hint of exasperation is all affection from Makoto. He's at least figured that much out. He holds onto Biscuit's leash and bends to give him more scratches while they wait for Makoto to return with directions. When Makoto returns, he stands upright, reaching to grab Makoto's hand in his. He wouldn't dare go on a nice walk like this without some sort of affection being given. ]
Not far. Did you hear that, Biscuit?
[ Hehe. ]
I'm excited you're here. Really happy for it, too.
[Biscuit have a hearty bark, standing up as soon as Makoto had walked out the door. The young man himself laughing softly and squeezing JJ's hand in return.]
I am, too. I don't know what I'd do if I was all alone again, you know?
[Being in another world was scary enough, but with no one recognizeable was even scarier. He lifted JJ's hand to kiss the back of.]
With as good of a person as you are, you'd have no problem getting along with new people.
[ He has no doubt about that. He could sing praises for hours about Makoto but there's a grin as he enjoys the gentle kiss to his hand. ]
But... I'm glad neither of us have to do that. At this point we've world-hopped enough that it would be weird to not have you with me.
[ A little hum. ]
Maybe we should look into a house sooner than later, too.
[ Because the apartments aren't exactly going to be the best with two people, four dogs, a cat, and whatever random things they pick up. And JJ is absolutely going to want to be in Makoto's bubble at any given second. ]
[He didn't comment on JJ saying he was a good person, the man was biased. Not that Makoto was bad or evil or anything, but he certainly didn't always think highly of himself.
They paused a moment in their walk for Biscuit to sniff a couple bushes.]
Speaking of a house... I wonder if we will ever return home. Our family must miss us, you know? I miss the twins and my parents, anyway. I hope they're doing okay.
[ He brings their hands up to his lips, and kisses Makoto's knuckles. It wouldn't be the same without him. He is glad they're together because at least they have that. he hasn't seen his family in so long, he's wondered the same. ]
IF they even notice we're gone. I hear that sometimes it was like you never left.
[ And you pick up where you left off. He doesn't want to do that, though. He's learned a lot about himself in this time. ]

[ He's far too cheerful for someone as clueless as he is. But, he had a plan for it, so as misplaced as his confidence was, he still ideas. ]
I was just going to heat towards the city and ask around. I don't know how good I'd be at memorizing directions, anyway.
[ It's his first time there, after all. Someone being able to just point will help, he thinks. ]
