Short summary: Adol has to dye his hair dark blue again, but this time he needs to change his clothes too. Geis helps.
Adol has nearly finished drying his hair when he hears the door open. When the visitor doesn’t speak right away Adol knows that it’s Geis and not Dogi standing at the doorway. He sets aside the towel and turns around, giving Geis a small smile.
Geis frowns. “It doesn’t suit you.”
Adol chuckles. With rumors that the Romun army was nearby looking to detain Adol once more for further questioning, Dogi had suggested that Adol bring out the hair dye from a few years ago. While Adol’s hair will lighten a little bit once it is completely dry, it will look dark blue for the next few weeks. Now that Adol thinks about it, Geis hasn’t had the honor of seeing him in this color before. It happened to match well with the clothes he had been wearing at the time, but currently his travel garb is mostly made up of dark greens and browns which…probably don’t work so well with dark blue hair.
Then what do you suggest, is what he asks Geis with a cock of his head to the side. Geis takes the bait and steps closer, giving Adol a good look up and down. After a moment he sighs and turns around.
“Stay there. I’ll find something red I guess.”
Red? Adol supposes that he used to wear red a lot more than he has recently. In general their wardrobes have become darker and less flashy with time. Dogi has stuck mostly with neutral off-white or brown instead of bright green while Geis has worn green and…more green. Actually Geis has not changed his fashion much at all. Every once in a while he’d update his cape but otherwise…
“Put this on.”
Adol accepts the red shirt from Geis’ hands and slips his arms into it. It’s a little big but the belt makes it fit well enough. It feels similar to the shirt he wore while traveling in Altago, where he encountered Geis for the second time…
“Good enough. And this too.”
Adol is surprised when Geis drapes a burgundy-colored scarf around Adol’s shoulders. It reminds Adol of the one he used to disguise himself at Balduq. Actually it feels the same too?
“Dogi told me about it while I was looking for stuff. I’m surprised you still had it, considering you tend to lose things often.” Geis laughs as he adjusts the way the scarf wraps around Adol’s neck. “But I suppose you do keep useful things.”
Like you, Adol thinks as he reaches for Geis’ hands before they retract back to Geis’ sides. He brings Geis’ hands to his face, to cup his cheeks, then leans in for a kiss. It’s just a brief touching of lips before Adol moves back and flashes Geis a brilliant smile.
Thanks, his smile says before Geis closes the distance between their mouths once more for a longer, deeper kiss. This kiss might be saying “you’re welcome” or “idiot”. It doesn’t matter to Adol as he enjoys this moment of quiet with Geis before Dogi inevitably barges in wondering if they are heading out yet.
The answer is, like it has been many other times before, no, not quite yet. But soon.
