[ hello fire-forged friend... this is a pleasant surprise. he just shrugs as if he's expecting that kind of question. ]

Not in this particular spa, no. The others just happen to be closed right now because of the festivities.

[ but yes he's... uh. he's very particular about spa treatments. give him a moment to talk to the receptionist first, curtly listing down everything he's planned for today's session: a mani-pedi, a hydrating facial, and a massage. nothing too much for now, since this isn't his usual joint. ]

I'm not really in the mood to celebrate whatever's out there anyway. Too tired.

I see. It's unfortunate, because I had wanted to visit a slightly nicer one but this will have to do.

[ Despite that Leon's a true spoiled rich kid, he has admittedly, not been to a spa in ages. The last time he's been to one was back when he was living in Hong Kong. But it doesn't stop him from being picky about spa treatments as well.

So when he hears the other man's order, he's almost impressed. Granted, Sena is a model so in Leon's eyes, it's natural he would know the best treatments. He had asked for the same things as Sena, along with the added bonus of a quick dip in their pool. ]

I absolutely understand that feeling. After what we've been through, Founders Day is the last thing I want to deal with.

[ Once the receptionist finishes with their orders, she hands them towels and their complementary bathrobes, directing them to the room with the massages. ]

[ you've made the right choices, leon. the receptionist asks if they're together on this and sena just shrugs casually like why not? leon's okay in his book after the shit they'd went through. ]

Right? The mayor even had the gall to celebrate the holiday when we almost risked out lives out there without even so much as a reward. So much for the festivities.

[ sorry for being a downer but he's totally right. the both of them are led into a dim room with soft lighting, a pleasing floral scent wafting through the air and soothing traditional music in the background; and as soon as they're guided towards their respective massage beds, sena wastes no time in turning his back on leon to strip down to his bare essentials even though they're both separated with a divider.

they can still talk though, thankfully. ] Didn't expect you to come here all by yourself, though. What about your girlfriend of yours?

[ Sena was already cool in his book after the disaster of a mission they went on but he becomes even more alright at his response. Finally someone who understands that they should be rewarded better for all of this nonsense! ]

It's good to know that someone else has common sense in this place. Honestly, it's ridiculous that we didn't get rewarded for our hard work and get thrown into these absurd festivities.

[ NO WORRIES SENA, because he's just as negative as well. In fact, he's feeling quite bitter about the whole ordeal. Upon entering the room, he does feel a little calmer due to the soothing scent and the music playing in the background. This is the first time he's felt at peace for over a month. Even though there is a divider, he still can't quite his embarrassment as he also turns his back and starts stripping down.

He's even more flustered when the other man suddenly asks him about his girlfriend. ]

It's not like we're attached at the hip or anything. She can have her alone time and I can have my time to myself.

[ As much as he loves her, being around literally anyone 24/7 would drive him crazy. But that's just how he rolls... ]

At least they're not forcing us to celebrate. We can just do it on our own terms, I guess.

[ shrug shrug, there's no big deal in being shy about it man, we're just guys being dudes. he hums knowingly, putting on the robe provided before sitting down on the massage bed. ]

I thought girls are into spa dates or something... but ah well, not going to judge you on that. I'd like some time for myself too after everything we'd been through.

[ now to wait for the masseuses. ]

Thank god for that as well. They wouldn't hear the end of it from me if they forced us to celebrate.

[ BECAUSE LEON ZHONG HAS NO PROBLEM EXPRESSING HIS IRRITATION AND OPINION!! ... And no one should be subjected to his annoying rants. ]

I guess they are. If she wants to go on a spa date, she can let me know later. [ It makes sense? Says the fool with a girlfriend. Romance is obviously not his strongest point, lmfao. How he has a significant other is a true mystery. ] Yeah. We could all use some alone time after what we've been through.

[ Then on cue, the masseuses arrive and suddenly, Leon's already feeling better just from seeing them. Truth be told, he was getting a little embarrassed talking about a future spa date with his girlfriend. ]

Thank goodness, I've been waiting for this.

[ He's trying his hardest not to look too embarrassed in front of Sena, but the blush on his cheeks was making it rather obvious. Without a second to spare, he lays face down onto the massage table. ]

[ you and me both, bro... even though leon can't see it from here, sena's going to give him one deadpan sideeye through the divider. he can already tell that leon's also inexperienced with dating in general, but as if sena's one to talk.

but enough about that! the masseuses are here, and sena is just as relieved as he takes off his robe and lies face down on the massage table himself, muscles relaxing as his back is applied with sweet-scented oil before the expert goes to work.

it does the trick, really, and sena can't help but groan a little as the masseuse tackled the sore parts of his body with ease. he'll try not to make a lot of loud noises because this really isn't the time or place with that, but god this feels good, he wants to stay here for a little while longer. ]
