Nik wished he could have awoken this morning next to his doting boyfriend, whoever woke first showering the other with kisses to wake him too, and immediately gotten ready to spend the day together. Of course, Orion's sleep patterns made waking up together an unrealistic goal to start with, and even past that there was the matter of all the appointments Nik had scheduled this morning. Two with the League, one at the bank, one at a Pokemon Center to get another round of treatment for Jasna's leg. All good productive things, but by lunch time he was downright antsy.
When errands finally freed him, he teleported nearly into Orion's arms. ... Okay, so more like into Orion's living room, and then had to look for where he was in the house, but the intent was there, and he wound up half-tackling him all the same.
"Babe!!" he exclaimed. "Babe, are you ready? Are you excited?" Was he as nervous as Nik was because holy shit he was nervous.

Orion was antsier if that was possible. He’d actually taken the day off from work for this which was probably not a good thing considering he didn’t know what else to be doing with his time before this.
He ended up finding some cookie dough in the freezer and went to work banking that before it ‘went bad’ and then just decided he had enough material and mix to work with to make some muffins and hell why not prepare some lemon squares while he was at it? By the time Nik appeared in his living room, the cookies and muffins were cooling on a rock, and he just put the lemon squares in the fridge.
Side tackled, he turned rather quickly and hugged back. “YES!” he answered just as loud. “Grab some cookies and let’s go!” They should just be cool enough now not to burn to eat or touch or anything.

Nik had registered "there is food nearby" when he came in, but only when Orion told him to grab some did he really look and see how much. He fought not to laugh but lost, breaking into a quiet giggle. "Were you stress baking or just trying to use the old kitchen for all it's worth while you still can?" He gladly took a few regardless.
"Did you ever settle on Caravella or Alterna, actually?" They'd narrowed it that far last night, but Nik was passing out by that point and decided to, heh, sleep on it. Caravella was nice in a lot of ways, and close to work for Orion. But it had that shitty fake nobility thing going on that Nik still didn't like, and... was close to work for Orion, i.e. close to Marceline who Nik couldn't help but feel awkward and paranoid regarding. Alterna was a bit more neutral, had a few nice points of interest, and was closer to Niso for Nik to be able to keep an eye on him, but... was also closer to Niso, and ew. ... Logic didn't have to work right now okay.

Orion snickered a little softly. “I was bored,” he emphasized very briefly flashing a grin to show ‘not that bored’ and clearly ‘not bored now’. “Took the day off and everything and then had to sit and wait. Decided to at least do something~” He was sure Jazz would be pleased whenever he got back in and found the kitchen stocked so who would really complain anyways?
At the question, however, he chuckled a bit. “I actually researched a few properties in Alterna ~ There’s a few lakefront ones that caught my eye~” For… obvious reasons considering his massive fish and Water Type collection was ever growing and expanding. “But of course we have to check them out first~”

Oh? Was he doing that research while waiting on the oven or while up all night, Nik passively wondered, heh. But ah... "Sounds good. Checking them out, I mean."
He briefly hesitated, then admitted, "I don't wanna be too far from the main part of town, but we'll see. I guess I don't really have a strict distance limit or anything, and I do have Lucy my godsend now, so it... shouldn't be like growing up, heh." All the same, his smile was a bit forced. "Just.. don't wanna be strictly dependent on teleporting, and be able to look out the window without feeling like I'm uh... stuck in the middle of nowhere..?" He hoped that didn't sound too needy or nitpicky already. "But hey. I've gotten a bit better and a really nice place just a biiit farther out than I like could be good incentive to push a bit mor, so we'll see."
He was.. grabbing a bag to stuff some extra cookies into actually. "Pull up a few of your faves on your phone or just pick one for us to head to first if you want~ You up for Luce takin' us there?" Lucy was also nibbling some cookies now, and briefly stopped to wave when mentioned.

As Nik described his preferences, Orion smirked a bit. “Of course~ It has to be perfect,” he answered. “For the both of us.” He added rather promptly after. The location, the interior, the back yard, all of it had to be perfect because … obviously? This was such a big step so? Yes? Yes, of course. Was he still reeling over this revelation that Nik wanted him to consider both of them in everything? Maybe. Maybe he might have been considering this entirely too much the past couple of days as well.
Fishing up his phone after, Orion switched over to one of the housing apps he had been going through and pulled the pinned ones he’d made. “Hmmm— Ah, yeah, that should be fine,” he added briefly before scrolling through the houses and narrowing down those that were too far out of the city’s range. “Let’s try this one first,” he said flipping around the phone to reveal a picture of a two story. It wasn’t directly on the water, a bit ways back, but it looked great from the photos so— maybe?

Perfect for both of them, huh? Heh... hehehe~♥ "Yeah~" Fuck he was getting pretty giddy again. Some passive part of him was aware the 'perfect' home might not exist, and they may have to settle in some regards or be left sharing this small apartment "just until" they found a home that wasn't there to find, but... they could worry about that later.
For now, he leaned over to see the house Orion picked. ...Two story? Eh. Stairs were kind of a pain; he didn't even use them at the gym much but... he did like sliding down the modified rail though. If he could do that again it wouldn't be so bad. Especially if that was the worst thing about it. "Sounds good. Show Luce the map?"
Lucy finished stuffing a cookie into his mouth and came and leaned in between the two to look at Orion's phone, then nodded and teleported them about fifty yards away. Ahh... misjudged a bit but not bad for a mostly blind port~
"I feel like he should get to help us look since this is gonna be the Pokemon's home, too," Nik noted. If Jasna was up for riding on his back right now she'd definitely be out, but as things were he'd just bring her out to show her the best options after they toured. "Maybe Mr. Fish too unless you think they'd be too rambunctious?"

Ugh, Orion’s stomach lurched a little as they appeared near the first house. It was better than it had been the first couple of times he’d started using teleportation as an active way of getting around, but …. Bleh. Anyways— “Oh~ True true…” he chuckled a bit fishing out Mr. Fish’s Pokeball. “They… should be fine…” And if they got into too much trouble, he could always fish them out again, heh.
Releasing the Eelektross, Orion was immediately glomped and snuggled very briefly before it was Nik’s turn for two hundred pounds of eel. They’d keep it short before realizing Lucy was out and yep he was getting glomped too and possibly cuddled more. How long had it been since they’d seen him? Clearly too long 8V! A happy hiss escaped from them before they finally settled and actually realized what they were out here to do. Ooooooh houuuuussseeeessss right! Orion had mentioned that!

Lucy yelped somewhere between surprise and delight as he was glomped, hugging Mr. Fish tightly back and... blushing a bit actually? Wow he hadn't realized how much he actually missed seeing them. Was he clinging a bit too long? Oh, but he didn't want to let go and they felt so nice ha... ://3
Nik smirked a bit at the Pokemon, but then headed toward the house in question. The yard was nice. A bit ah... He didn't wanna say too big, because he did like the idea of a big yard but... Hrm. He'd prefer houses closer together with like a really long back yard. Having the land without being stuck in the middle of it. But this wasn't too bad... There was a small balcony on one of the upper story rooms, and some plotted places for gardens on one side, but... "Not bad but not too memorable either from the outside," he remarked. "Ready to head in, though?"
When Orion was, Lucy would be called over to take care of their entry. Who needed a realtor?

Releasing Lucy after a moment, Mr. Fish kept one hand still clasped around his and started to tug him along too. They were looking at! Things! Right?! Yessssssss!
Orion, meanwhile, was actually thinking the yard looked too small. Maybe it was the way the house sat in it or… something but hm. Maybe a two story was more than they really needed. Mmmmm MMMMMMMMMMMMM. “Let’s go~” he grinned pretty quickly after.
The teleport in was pretty quick and painless, and Orion found himself looking around at the living room they’d come into. Hmmm “The ceiling’s a little low…” but he guessed that was going to be the case with most if not all the houses they came across. Wandering around into the kitchen, however, he paused on seeing an island. That made it so much better. A little small but not bad at all… Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm….
Mr. Fish, meanwhile, had zoomed off to … everywhereness. They wanted to see everything and up the stairs, down the stairs, this way, that way, oops knocked into Lucy again but maybe that was intentional even.

Lucy may have been way too pleased by Mr. Fish holding his hand oh no. (And-- and sad when they eventually let it go oh nooo. D: )
Ceilings too low? Huh... They looked fine to Nik, and he didn't really want massive rooms since they made him kind of anxious sometimes, but he supposed a big living room and cozier other rooms wouldn't be so bad? He'd keep that in mind.
"Not sure if I do or don't like the stairs so close to the door. I guess there's pros and cons both ways, if we do go two-story.." He headed up briefly, and the rooms were... okay. Bathroom up here, too. Not much to see without it being furnished though, so... "The rail's too narrow to slide down," he whined a bit as he descended the normal way. How boring.
"I'd go with a tentative 7 out of 10," he decided. "Pretty spacious and nice enough layout, but not really anything great. Might move that up or down once I have others to compare to, though. You?"

Orion wandered very briefly around the first floor for a little longer, looking in an out of windows before coming around again as Nik descended. Tentative seven out of ten? “Mmmm yeah about there….” Orion answered finding himself looking around again. “It’s not bad,” but perhaps not the dream house or anything. A bang sound reverberated through the area, and Mr. Fish came zooming around again to flop over on Lucy. Orion squinted looking at the Eelektross with a certain ‘I know you did something you little shit’ face before shaking his head and looking back at Nik.
“On to the next one?” he asked flipping out his phone again and cycling over to the next address and the next house. This one was a one story and seemed to have a pool in the back from the pictures that were in the viewable. Not too much yard but a pool so… maybe?

"Yeah," Nik agreed. He reserved judgement from the picture, but once they apparated near the house, he looked around and found himself immediately observing, "Yard's kinda small isn't it."
... Oh uh. He looked around. He did like the distance between houses here well enough, though he could probably tolerate a bit more for the sake of said yard. "I guess... I've actually kind of had an idea in my head for a bit and never really thought to voice it, but.. You know all my gym props and stuff?" That whole uh. Massive storage room bursting with trees and mushrooms and rocks and stuff, heh. "I was sort of hoping we could find a place big enough to set all that up as like a..." A bit of color rose to his cheeks as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "A big Pokemon playground? Or training ground or... oversized lounge area or whatever, heh." Was that maybe a bit excessive?
"I just have so much shit and I don't really wanna get rid of it but I know it wouldn't fit in the house so I thought maybe..."

On actually seeing it, Orion’s lips pressed together. “Yeah…” he mumbled walking around. The gate was actually open, and after being sure that no one was else was around, he found himself starting towards it.
He paused momentarily, however, at Nik’s words. He… he wanted all his Fairy stuff in the yard or in the house? A brow did quirk a bit, but … he could sympathize with not wanting to get rid of anything so… A small half-laugh finally escaped from him. “Maybe we should just buy an old gym at that point,” he mused. “Or maybe a rec center or a church…” Maybe they shouldn’t be looking for ‘houses’ at all. Heh…
Still. He did like seeing a pool even if it was taking up a lot of the yard. Mr. Fish seemed to like it to for as quickly as they were rushing over and jumping in. Soaking wet, they pounced Lucy again and tried to get him soaking wet too.

Lucy was panicking NO Mr. Fish he what you can't-- How long had that water been standing if this house was empty oh God it touched him someone get it off. QAQ
Nik was too distracted by the conversation to notice Lucy's mild freakout. His face was burning and his eyes darted away to the ground. "N-no, I... didn't mean like any of that. I just.. I thought maybe like..." Ehh. He pulled his phone out and the stylus from its holder, pulling up a drawing app and scribbling a bit as he moved closer to Orion.
A nice normal looking little house, some other houses scribbled not too far away, and some scribbled trees and shapes with what appeared to be a small pond near them, all in a very large back yard it seemed. "Like just finding a place with a good stretch of land out back so they could have room to get out and get exercise and like... Like people would buy a fort or a playset for their kids but using the stuff I already have is all. With a pond or a pool for your fish if we can get both or don't end up pretty close to the lake anyway, I guess." Stylus still in hand, he reached up and fidgeted with his earring a bit. "Sorry, I realize I should've said something already when I had this in mind."
