[deathboss]

OH.

oh.

oh shit I'm sorry.

uh please punish me???

[critpei]

we can't just backtrack into
✨✨sexy punishment time✨✨

it's not authentic anymore

[deathboss]

You're breaking my heart.

But okay...how about...we go have unsexy breakfast then.

[critpei]

can we have pancakes?

a nice big stack!
with lots of butter and syrup
ok ok
and maybe some fruit just for you

[deathboss]

I can have fruit salad and maybe a single pancake. Do you want some natto?

[Eikichi, you're the weirdo for eating that.]

It just means more pancakes for you.

[critpei]

uh no thx on the natto

but i think i'll be ok to eat in the kitchen

[ It had been a strange week with Junpei holing up in Eikichi's room for the good bulk of it. Most of the time, they were preoccupied with one another and he didn't want to leave for that reason. But there were moments otherwise when the heavy burden of all Junpei endured back home was too much to bear and he didn't want to be around anyone. Anyone but Eikichi, that is. Junpei opted to take most of his meals in the room when possible and when he tried otherwise to venture out, he'd typically get overwhelmed and want to quickly return to the safe space of the room.

There's unfortunately no easy or clean way to deal with trauma. But Junpei thinks he's ready to try to get back to some semblance of normal. ]

[deathboss]

[Eikichi sees that as progress! He's so happy for him.]

Hell yeah! Let's go on our first of many kitchen dates!

I'll make sure it's worth your while!

[critpei]

you gonna come meet me at my door?
pick me up like it's a real date?

should i wear my finest?
or we going with cool and casual?

[deathboss]

Oh oh! I have an idea.

Let's call it a school date.

Let's wear our clothes from when we first arrived here.

[critpei]

the...ones from home, right?

not the weird pirate shirt i had to wear for the party
or the 8000 shirts the fae were throwing on you, yeah?

on phone so no code

[deathboss]

Ahh right...

I had my normal clothes the first time I showed up so...

Home clothes. I wanted it to be like us meeting as school students.

hehehe np!

[critpei]

got it!
getting to show everyone i'm on a date with a baaaad boy

this feels like the thing fanfics are made of
getting to live the 14 YO girl dream
dating a delinquent

[deathboss]

Right from Cuss High, the worst boys this side of Sumaru City.

Lol I know some girls from Sevens would write things online on message boards, but we didn't have a computer at home.
Do those dreams include said delinquent making breakfast?

[critpei]

i wouldn't be surprised
if you were the one a lot of girls pined over tbh
it'd be real fun if we could somehow see what they wrote about you

heh but MY fantasies are a little more
hmmm
nuanced?
my perfect delinquent can cook, draw AND sing
you'd be forgiven if you thought:
there's no WAY someone so perfect could exist!!

but surprise
he does!

[deathboss]

[Oh Junpei, you have a way with words...]

Lol nah they were all eyeing Tatsuya. Not even kidding, all the guys and girls wanted him!

Their loss, more delinquent that only wants you.

I'm gonna change, I'll be there soon.

[He will, indeed showing up 5 minutes later, wearing the bright blue-greens of Kasugayama High School, school pin on his collar and his own orange and black kilt under it.]

[critpei]

ok see ya soon!

[ And Junpei gets up to change, lamenting the fact that he doesn't have his true school uniform. The SEES uniform is very close, especially if he actually wears the jacket properly as opposed to tied around his waist like usual. But it doesn't have the Gekkoukan emblem. Ah well. It serves the purpose.

When Eikichi gets there, Junpei pops in the doorway just finishing up with setting his baseball cap into place. ]

Well hello there, handsome.

When the comic you read makes a new page with the exact pose you were thinking about

[deathboss]

[Oh okay, they are doing it like that? He's gotta lean into the cool Kasugayama High School personality. He slams his left hand on the wall upwards around Junpei's head to lean on to it, the other hand in one of his pockets and moves closer to him.]

Hey there, good looking.

[...shit uh...]

Wanna go eat breakfast? [...] And stuff.

[Nailed it.]

[critpei]

And stuff.

[ Junpei offers a teasing wink. He's not sure where he fits in on the high school stereotype list. If Eikichi is the cool badass then what does that make Junpei? As much as he loves baseball, he's not a jock. He's definitely not the 'good boy.' He's just the funny slacker. Does that make him someone Eikichi's classmates would bully? Someone Eikichi would stand up for as the bully of bullies??

He doesn't know. But this morning robbed Junpei of his morning kiss, so he decides to remedy that right now with Eikichi so nice and close -- tilting his head up, meeting his lips, and sighing against them. All is now right in the world. ]

[deathboss]

[Aww come on! Sure, he totally wants that (and it totally turned on) but that is not how you great the bad boy of the group. Bah whatever, they're already off the script, so he's just going to deepen the kiss and put an arm around him.

When they stop, he's blushing. Still not quite used to it, it seems.]

Look, I usually beat people up, not try to pick them up.

[critpei]

You beat up the bad people.

[ Junpei's hand is pressed to the center of Eikichi's chest, lips pursed in thought. ]

You're like the Robinhood of bullies. Beating up the baddies...and giving it to the poors.

[ Junpei presses against him teasingly to emphasize what precisely he means by 'giving it.' But Junpei then ducks beneath Eikichi's arm to sidestep. They have plans for a breakfast date and he will not allow himself to be distracted by his cursedly strong libido. ]

Soooo what's our high school fantasy meet cute? How does bad boy Eikichi get tangled up with class clown Junpei?

[deathboss]

Mostly. [There were a few times he picked up a fight with a St-Hermlin student because he made fun of him.] I stopped being the Boss too, so this is all moot point anyway. I'd only give it to you.

[Oh he knows what he means. It's difficult not to just go back to his room, but they agreed to a breakfast date, so date it is. He puts an elbow over Junpei and forces them to walk towards the kitchen.]

Uh let's see...[Hmmm what could lead to a rag-tag couple meeting up?]...Persona Group?

[Look a short while ago he was panic he'd lost him again, his brain is not working well this morning.]

[critpei]

[ He snickers, shaking his head. ]

Forget being persona users! We're not persona users in this nice, normal high school fantasy.

[ Looks like Junpei will have to get the imagination ball rolling. He looks toward the ceiling in thought, trusting Eikichi to steer him if he's about to bump into anything. ]

Maybe you came to Gekkoukan High as part of some Battle of the Bands and I was so into your sound, I started chatting you up? Maybe played up the fact that I could sorta play guitar and then had to actually learn because I totally wanted to impress you....

[ That's the fun idea. Then Junpei comes at it with the sad idea which just plays off a very real fantasy he had. ]

Or maybe you're out late one of the nights I ran off from home. You run into me and give me someplace warm to sleep. Or we find someplace to hang out and forget about home for a while so I didn't have to be alone.

[deathboss]

[Dang. Starts out pretty strong then crashes by the end. Isn't that a little too true-to-life. Eikichi looks a little sad and briefly stops walking.]

Bro maybe we can keep this more fantasy than reality? I want happy feelings with you this morning. Maybe you're a rising baseball player and despite my singing, I can't play for shit but I promised I'd throw a starting pitch at a local baseball match and don't want to look stupid? I need a teacher but I'm too cool to ask for one.

[He's working extra hard to make this cool.]

[critpei]

I mean, it'd be happy 'cause I'm meeting you.

[ He perks up with a chipper smile, making sure to be extra cutesy so the mood won't sour. ]

But sure, sure. First pitch is a cute idea. They asked you to sing the national anthem, right? That's why they want you to throw the first pitch. This is your big chance to put your own Gas Chamber spin on Kimigayo. Annnnd one day after practice, I happen to be rounding the corner and see you there. Giving this wild throw. And I'm all like 'bro, you got all this power, but you gotta focus it. Treat the baseball like you'd treat a lover~'

god Eikichi took the stupid pill this morning

[deathboss]

[Oh good, it's just a setup. Eikichi just felt uneasy a little about it. But he likes this entire story, nodding as they get close to the kitchen. He has to finish this so how does he do it?]

...Hard and Furiously?
