Winter Holidays

[sanada_g]

 I had quite an enjoyable winter holidays. Though I could do without being put into such a fancy and tight suit again anytime soon. 

Thank you to everyone who got me a gift or sent me a new year's card. They were all appreciated. 

As per tradition I helped to clean the dojo and house before the end of the year and did hatsumode on the first with my family. It was nice to have a few relaxing days all together but I'm happy to be back to my usual schedule. 


I think once it's a bit colder and snowier a trip out to Hakone or Kusatsu to enjoy some outdoor onsen might be nice. Would anyone be interested in joining me? 



ooc: Atobe got Sanada a bracelet that he's taken to wearing whenever he's not training. It's gold with a garnet. If asked about it, he'll say it's from Atobe and try to act all stoic and like it's not a big deal. But it probably comes out much more awkward and smitten than he intends.

You look good in suits though. Traditional clothes aren't suitable for everything, you know that.

I'll join you when I get back from Australia, if you don't mind waiting that long.

[sanada_g]

They're suitable for most things though...


If I end up going before you're back, I'll just have to go again.

[gtl_yukimura]

For the things you do, yeah, but not to a lot of people.

Sounds good.

[sanada_g]

They should get better hobbies then.

[oshitarisensei]

Rarely can traditional clothing out pace that of a finely tailored suit. Given your build, I'm quite sure you looked absolutely gorgeous. I'm also sure that Keigo appreciated it all the same. Have you considered modeling? You really should.

[sanada_g]

Hmph, if you think that then you haven't been wearing the right traditional clothes.

Though Atobe did seem pleased by the suit...

I only model at Yukimura's request.

[oshitarisensei]

I've seen plenty of people who look fantastic in traditional clothing, but there's just something sensual about well-tailored clothing.

Of course he did.

Would you model for Keigo?

[sanada_g]

There's nothing sensual about getting the suit tailored. It was annoying.


Why would Atobe need me to model for him?

[oshitarisensei]

You haven't been tailored by the right person then.

Oh dear. Perhaps he'd like to see a sample of the final product, hmm?

(ooc: strikes deleted)

[sanada_g]

Atobe reassured me he was the best in town.

Why? I'd be wearing it with him right beside me for most of the night...

[oshitarisensei]

He probably was, so this is clearly a case of you not knowing how to enjoy yourself.

Beside him isn't the same as in front, my dear Sanada-san.

[sanada_g]

Perhaps suits aren't meant for me.

He knows how to turn if he wants to look at me.

[penipu]

pics or it didn't happen re: suit

did you like the glitter? ;*

i'm in for onsen <3 my treat unless your boyf is buying in which case nah

[ooc; ...Gen-chan got a card with glitter stuck on it. Fortunately not a glitter explosion, but. OTL]

[sanada_g]

Why do you need pictures to believe me?

Only my neice liked the glitter....

My boyf??

[penipu]

i'm looking for excuses to enjoy your physical appearance, gen-chan

nobody else at all?

boyfriend ;*

[sanada_g]

Why?

Maybe my little nephew? He likes messy things.

Ah, Atobe. I'm not sure he'll have time to go. And do you keep hitting random keys on your phone?

[penipu]

because you're hot and you should embrace it

it's not messy, it's art

i bet he'll want to go anywhere with you

and it's a kissy winky face ;*

[sanada_g]

... my body is not for your enjoyment.

It was messy.

He may want to. But our schedules don't always line up.

Is it? I don't see it.

[penipu]

not just your body, fukubuchou <3

at least call it cute

afaik he can bend time so that really shouldn't be a problem

do you understand it better like this? 😘

[sanada_g]

I'm not sure that's reassuring.

Messy is not cute.

afaik?? Are you feeling alright? What language is that? And he can't bend time.

Yes. But it seems more disturbing.

[penipu]

Siiiigh. Fine. I will use nothing but language that you will undoubtedly understand best. We need to teach you some shorthand. It's helpful.

It should be. You have a nice face and body. Work it. Play to your advantage. No one doubts you look hot in your traditional garb. Give Atobe a reason to gets his hands all over you because he can't help but not.

No one else is shaming my New Year's cards.

Haven't you heard what his high school schedule was like? He was basically Hermione Granger and that time turning thing in Harry Potter.

Which do you prefer then? ;* or 😘 Either way, you have to pick one. Time's up.

[sanada_g]

How is it helpful if people don't understand it?

Why do I need to play it to my advantage? Things are going just fine without 'working it'.

Hmmm perhaps they didn't arrive and they never received them?

Oh, I actually got that reference. And just because he knows how to manage his time very effectively doesn't mean I should make more demands on it. He deserves downtime.

Is there no neither choice?

[penipu]

Brings you into the modern age. Be hip with the kids and all that. You will be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't understand.

Everyone enjoys an unexpected surprise from their lover.

Nope, definitely have confirmation. They thought they were cute. And sparkly. 😘

It's a Christmas miracle. The best kind of downtime is to be with someone you love. And your dog.

Nah. Course not. Pick one. ;*

[sanada_g]

If I don't understand, I'm sure there's plenty of others who don't, too.

How is it a surprise to model clothes?

Dogs are quite amazing companions. I can understand why Atobe spoils Duke so much.

I refuse.

[naniwaspeed]

I dunno, I'm with Yuushi on this one. There's something to be said for a well-tailored suit.

Is it possible to actually be happy to be back to your usual schedule after only a few days off? Truly? Tell me your secrets~

[sanada_g]

Hmph... I still prefer kimono.

We have four generations under one roof.

[naniwaspeed]

Isn't there a time and place for both~?

You're right. Run the hell away.

[sanada_g]

Ah, like Atobe wears the suits he favours and I can wear kimono? I like to think most events can be like that.


I love my family... but it's nice to have some time away from them again.

[naniwaspeed]

I mean, I think most formal events can be like that, but what about those awkward in-between ones? Or like... when you start job hunting after university.

I understand this on a spiritual level. ╰(▔∀▔)╯

[sanada_g]

I will reluctantly wear a suit for the interview. But I hope to join the police force, so I should have a uniform to wear after that.


Do you not have a large family, Oshitari-san?

[naniwaspeed]

Oh! Then how about a well fitting uniform? That's basically the same thing.

Hahaha~ Yeah. Yeah, we do. Our family is big, loud, Osakan, and all work or study in medicine if they're of adult age. It's really overwhelming to be surrounded by literal brain surgeons sometimes.

[sanada_g]

A uniform is for school or work. It's not something I would choose to wear outside of that.

[naniwaspeed]

...Well, yeah, but a uniform should still fit you well. I'm not sure I get you, Sanada.

[sanada_g]

It's fine. I don't think I get you either.

[naniwaspeed]

I'm sure we'll get there one day. ☆ ～('▽^人)

[saypassion]

I'm glad to hear that you had a lovely winter holiday. That above all else is what's important.

Enjoy your time at the onsen, should you be able to go. We went in a small group and it was quite lovely. There's something very healing to the soul to do so when you can.

[sanada_g]

Thank you.

I always enjoy time spent at the onsen so I'm sure it will be a good day.

[saypassion]

Do you have a particular favorite place to go?

[xyzai]

I forgot to send cards. Do you accept well thought out emoji-texts?

[sanada_g]

I could... but I won't understand them.

[xyzai]

I could give you a translation.
