An implied Keiji/Funabashi fic, because there isn't enough Keiji/Funabashi and it needs to start somewhere! Warnings for hinted shonen ai and Keiji, who, like Krad, deserves his own warning. The title is latin, a cookie for anyone who figures it out without getting out a Latin/English dictionary.
Copula
Keiji, Funabashi has always found, is quite insane.
Funabashi knows this, because he spends every hour of every day with Keiji, and that much time with a person will allow one to get to know them very well.
When Keiji wakes up, he does not eat anything healthy. Instead, he shoves five waffles into the toaster, throws some eggs into a pan, sprinkles cheese and syrup on both, and promptly begins chowing down on his chocolate cereal of the week until the other part of his breakfast finishes cooking. He does all this himself, no matter how much Funabashi tries to help, because Keiji insists that breakfast is sacred, and that he must cook it himself so that it is exactly to his taste. Funabashi suspects that it is because Keiji doesn’t want him slipping something healthy into the disgusting mix of food consumed each day, and Funabashi is probably right. Other than that, his meals are unscheduled, and Funabashi has to make sure Keiji actually eats them.
That is perhaps the only routine thing in Keiji’s schedule, unless Funabashi manages to arrange the day, which is rare, but it happens sometimes. Keiji does not like these days, because it means long, boring meetings with executives, and all the other company politics which Keiji has a flair for but has confided to Funabashi that he hates. But Keiji must deal with these people, because otherwise he won’t get anything done.
On some days, Keiji drags Funabashi across town, researching to find the perfect models for the perfect line. Researching usually means finding someone Keiji thinks is pretty and seeing what they could blackmail this model with. Keiji was very upset when Hiwatari Satoshi had threatened Keiji to certain painful death if he ever tried to bother Daisuke again. Funabashi was amused by this, as he had never seen Keiji turn such a pale colour after only a few short words. Apparently, Satoshi is very creative with his threats.
On other days, Keiji skips his way to the design rooms, Funabashi following dutifully behind, sighing every time Keiji makes some lewd comment about this person or that, and even inanimate objects on occasion. Keiji has been secretly dubbed voyeur by Funabashi, but he has not said this aloud, for fear of Keiji agreeing with him. As Keiji wanders through the rooms, examining and critiquing the artists working under him, Funabashi is certain to poke him violently if he says anything too harsh. Keiji doesn’t mean it, he just is very blunt, and he needs Funabashi to remind him how wonderful tact can be.
It is rare, but it happens, that Keiji makes an appearance at the actual fabrication rooms, Funabashi close behind to keep his boss from accidentally decapitating himself on the machinery. The fabrication rooms are a combination of machines and people, and there are many smaller factory versions of it elsewhere, but this is where many of the original copies are created. Keiji has always enjoyed listening to the looms at work, but he has never told anyone, not even Funabashi. Funabashi knows, however, and has a tendency of pausing while they survey the looms to examine something or other, tending to drag on their visits there for an extra five minutes or so.
Once a month or so, however, Funabashi does not spend the day with Keiji. Keiji goes out without breakfast, very early in the morning, and Funabashi only has the silence of the apartment to tell him that it is one of those days. On those days, Funabashi waits in the apartment, cleaning up the messes that somehow manage to get out of control despite his best efforts, and arranging Keiji’s schedule so he has to deal with the executives again, though no one is quite sure if this is out of necessity or revenge on those days. Funabashi distracts himself, because if he doesn’t he notices how empty or dull or cold this place is, and he starts wondering what Keiji is doing with his day, which is a useless habit at best, because Keiji is random and unpredictable. But Funabashi always knows when to stand by the door, though the time is never the same, and moments later Keiji always flings it open and tackles Funabashi to the ground. Keiji tells Funabashi about some great new idea he has, all the while pinning Funabashi down, and refusing to get off no matter how much his servant protests. And despite how horrible Funabashi feels on these days, he simple nods and scolds Keiji for whatever perverted thing he’s done this time, smiling on the inside.
Funabashi would never begrudge Keiji for being able to dedicate his life to what he loves. He thinks it’s an oddity, just like Keiji’s an oddity. Quite insane, Funabashi thinks again. But it’s okay, because he likes it this way.
And isn’t that strange?
