[ Sure. He'll exchange the boxes of clothes for the chest with the glass flowers, looking at Eikichi in faint amusement. ]
This is what happens when we don't get our morning hook up.
[ It seems he's lost Eikichi. The guy's barely paying attention anymore. Maybe it's a good thing Junpei exchanged the clothes for the fragile items. Junpei's used to existing on horny. So he can still function relatively normally for now. No threat of dropping the glass. ]
We do gotta still come out for sunset dinner. No matter what, we're not missing that. Still gotta do that coin flip, too. See whether we're going near the docks or up high? Buuut all that to say, we could do some night shopping? I don't need the journal right this second, and I don't think someone's out there buying the exact one I wanted or nothin'. After all, it's just gonna be a spot to write down all the baseball deets. So it can be plain and boring. It's the sneaky love notes you're gonna be looking for!
[ He lightly bumps Eikichi's shoulder with his own before he looks at him in mild concern. ]
....you're doing okay, though, right? This is just ordinary horny and not like....I gave my blood and now oops, I'm charmed type of horny?
Right. I meant going back to the market. [He's never really done the market at night either, and that does interest him.] Careful. If this keeps up I might just try to find the little love notes and ignore everything else. Let's do a quick look around for uh...the spicer stuff like your dice. I've never gone shopping for that type of stuff apart from my hair gel.
[Then he smiles.]
And I'm fine! It's not like I was doing much of this type of thinkin' before I met you, so I'm just overthinking with it now, that's all. It should calm down eventually. [Probably.] I don't feel hornier? What would they get out of it?
[Would the fae gain anything from making him extra horny? He's pretty sure the answer is no.]
[ It's weird the little things that bring color to Junpei's cheeks because it's not anything they do in bed. He meets all their crazy bedroom ideas with gusto and zero shyness! It's moments like when Eikichi calls him the sun or now when he admits to not lingering around in that lizard brain until he was with Junpei. As though what they do in the heat of the moment burns between them even after the fact. As though the want and desire is so strong, it consumes Eikichi's thoughts. For him. Junpei's not used to being an object of desire and it feels good. It feels great. He's wanted by the best looking guy in this place. That's as much of a confidence booster as it is something to make him blush. ]
I dunno, dude. You never know with the Fae. But I'll just take the win that I'm sooooo irresistible, you can't help fantasizing about me even when we're right next to each other!
[ He winks. ]
I hope it never calms down! I hope you keep on wanting me just as much even a year in~
[ Junpei might be jumping the gun -- assuming they'll have an entire year together. Especially because they're supposed to be living in the moment, tomorrow may never come, blahblahblah. But a year together isn't unreasonable. Surely planning for the resistance or changing into one of the Fae would take much longer than a year. And so, making it to their one year anniversary. That becomes the goal post. ]
I wonder if they got any vibrators here or if that technology's too advanced? But hear me out. Vibrating sex beads. One of us wears them while the other has the remote that controls them. A nice, slow, delicious brand of torture until the person wearing them begs for release.
[ Which probably wouldn't take long at all no matter which one of them was in charge, honestly. A slow building moment sounds great in theory, but when it comes time to execute, both of them want each other too much that even five minutes of holding back is too long, sometimes. ]
Well keep watch on me for a while and we'll see what eventually happens, if anything!
[Maybe the fae was just messing with them. Maybe Eikichi might be a little in denial. He smiles at Junpei, closing his eyes. A year? Well, he does know that Ren and Akechi (and Yusuke he thinks?) have been here for a long while. So it is possible. He also knows they've changed physically as well. Hmmm. It's a goal that's a little morbid, but he'd walk on coals with Junpei if it meant staying a little longer with him.]
We'll see. [Then he elbows him very gently as to make sure he doesn't drop the glass pot.] Junpei...we're in public. [He knows the fae are kinda open to this but Junpei's mind needs to be reeled in a little.] We're stuck in a place with not that much technology. There's probably something that's similar?
[He tries to look ahead of himself, but the boxes are hiding his view a bit.]
[ Junpei just gives Eikichi a look at his gentle scolding. ]
So what? Don't you like to make a show, Michel-sama~? Don't you wanna be front and center, all eyes on you? Who cares about the public! We're not in Japan anymore. We're not gonna remember any of this anyway, so why not let them overhear and remember those two boys who were sooo into each other they could barely keep it together for one lousy shopping trip!
[ Junpei smiles, looking off into the distance. ]
That's the shit bards write songs about, yanno! Two hella horny dudes who aren't even magically compelled to be into each other!
[ A beat. ]
I'm pretty sure the whole castle has heard me screaming your name by this point anyway. Oh, look!
[ Junpei's distracted by something shiny, pointing out an item that, well he's not sure what it's supposed to be. A wand with shimmery ribbons? It might make a good toy for Jackson. Junpei considers it, pawing it the way a cat might as though that could determine whether it would be fun for a cat. As though Junpei could put himself in the mind of a feline. ]
H-hey! I don't mind normally, but this is...[He waves his hands.]...different I guess? [Honestly he doesn't know. He's not shy about being with Junpei, that's for certain. He's just a little shy about the whole 'yeah we fuckin' thing. He'll get over it. Eikichi had the weirdest hangups for the oddest things.]
R-right.....w-wait!!
[With a slight horror, Eikichi realizes how vocal Junpei had been (he also had been to a certain extent, but not that bad) and had somehow assumed the walls were magical? He should maybe go apologize to their neighbours. He's about to say something when Junpei points to something and he is quickly distracted.]
Uh...what are you doing?
[He's half tempted to take the wand and move it in the air to see if Junpei will still paw at it.]
Trying to put myself in Jackson's paws for a minute.
[ He moves back, one hand going to his hip while the other continues to hold the vase, lips pursed. ]
Is this something you think he'd be into? I dunno. On the fence about it. It's pretty and all, but he'd probably lose interest and play with the ribbon around the clothes boxes instead. Mmm, I think we can do better for our feline son. Let's go~
[ And onward he marches, on the hunt for a shop that sells the spicier items. A glance is cast over his shoulder at Eikichi. ]
You're adorable, by the way. [ He wanted to say it to Eikichi being cutely flustered before, but then he got distracted. So he'll just say it now! ]
Let's see if he enjoys the boxes first. Maybe if I fill them with dirt, he might like that. [That was the trick with Jackson after all. Treat it as a half cat, half plant as he deserved.] If he still looks bored, we can come back here.
[Of they go in search of anything that might be interesting for a pair of of horny teenagers. It is oddly liberating that said things could be easily found in the market out in the open compared to having to go to a dark alley, Eikichi suspects, back home. He'd never really...tried it himself so he couldn't quite exactly say.]
Heh. [He beams at the compliment, wanting to give him a little kiss, but refraining with what he was holding.] You too, you big nerd.
[He stops when he sees...what looks to be a candle shop. Different smelling ones too. Maybe they had something like 'after the rain' or 'freshly cleaned clothing'. He leans closer to see if there's any interesting scents for sale.]'
Spicy cinnamon dreams? Chocolate cake? [Should he even trust the fae to get the flavours right? He half expects them to smell like used socks at this point.]
[ He beams, wearing Eikichi's compliment (.....sort of compliment with that nerd remark) like a badge of pride. And when he notices Eikichi's drawn toward the candle shop, Junpei turns to join him in perusing the items. ]
You're my spicy cinnamon dream.
[ He comments playfully. Does it make sense? No. Not at all. But it fits right along the lines of that time Junpei called Eikichi 'his perfect ten.' Was that the first official time he flirted? Because that's about when Junpei realized he was into Eikichi.
He lifts a boring beige candle to read the label. ]
Vanilla Blossom. Is....vanilla a flower? I thought it was....I dunno. Kinda like a green bean. You hear vanilla bean all the time when it comes to desserts. Oh! Can you bake? Or do you just cook? All these food candles kinda make me want something sweet.
[ Or......to lick whipped cream off of Eikichi. That could be a fiiiine dessert. Junpei grins at the thought, grins like he's had the most devious of thoughts, and then immediately looks back to Eikichi like he's the picture of innocence and nothing naughty crossed his mind at all. ]
And you're my...[he looks at the candle Junpei is holding.]...Vanilla Blossom?
[And that also does not make sense, but it is funny and he laughs at them both being idiots (lovingly).]
Maybe it is some sort of cake, or the flower of the plant? I heard it takes a while to make true vanilla...sort of like Soy Sauce, you have to let it get old over a few weeks or months. [He looks away.] Not really. I haven't had a need to make cakes but pops let me play around with Wagashi for a bit. That's less sweet and more for a refined pallet. Or so they say. Mom seemed to like the ones I made.
[He looks back at Junpei, wanting to cross his arms at that moment. What the hell was he thinking again?
...he's fireproof his lizard brain reminds him. Very excitingly. Eikichi has no idea what he'd do with this knowledge, but candles had fire.]
[ Junpei laughs as well, forehead burrowing against Eikichi's shoulder. It's so stupid but in that dumb fun kind of way. This is the stuff inside jokes are made of and Junpei definitely plans to bust out these silly candle names again at some point in the future! But he lifts his head as Eikichi drops the lore about vanilla beans and also his little bit of history with wagashi. Brown eyes take in Eikichi with full pride because Eikichi continues to impress Junpei beyond measure. ]
Make some for me sometime?
[ Junpei will literally eat anything Eikichi puts in front of him, but that sounds kinda special. Like something he only got to make for his mom before or something. And Junpei is all about chasing these special little memories with Eikichi. ]
Yeah, we should get one.
[ Or a few. Eikichi seems like he wants some so!! Junpei will just casually collect Spicy Cinnamon Dreams and Vanilla Blossom in his free hand because those DEFINITELY have to come with but. Hmm. ]
Warm Summer Glow?
[ He reads the label in confusion and then leans in to give it a sniff, coming back even more confused. ]
Huh. It somehow smells like that feeling you get when you step out of the water and the warm sun hits your back...
[He smiles as he continues to look, seriously considering it.]
I'll need to get a book. It's not something I learned for long, so I really don't know how to make them without one. I haven't been drilled to make them for the past eight years, y'know?
[Which is ironic as Eikichi probably would have really made a good maker for those if he'd been allowed to do them more. Perhaps he could use this as a way to try doing it again.]
Wasabi? [He gets closer to the candle to sniff it as well, being very careful not to knock anything down in the small cramped area. Junpei is right, it smells slightly chlorine-ish and sandy with a weird plant smell. It might be wasabi? He's not sure either.]
Well...it fits our court so let's just get it and figure things out later! I don't mind it, there's no ocean fish smell so this is fine. [Anything fish would get an instant no. He takes the vase from Junpei so he can find the seller and see what insanity they'll be roped into this time.]
[ Junpei nods his approval for Eikichi to get a book and regain this childhood skill of his. And he'll happily sign up to be his guinea pig in the meantime! For now, he takes the three candles and approaches the shopkeep -- a beautiful and androgynous Fae with a shaved head and elaborate golden tattoos cresting the left side of their jaw all the way to their eyebrow. They produce a small, ornate box when approached and name their price. ]
For three candles, you must give three scents -- unique when combined, never before seen or tried. Imagine this scent, picture it in your mind and then exhale through your nose into this box.
[ Oh. Hmm. Junpei looks at the box and then looks at Eikichi. Three things, huh? Oh, wait! ]
Wasn't there a weird ramen you had to eat?
[ That was three things combined, wasn't it? Three things that have never been thought up before. And surely Eikichi would remember the smell. He always seems a little sickened by the thought of it. ]
[Oh that is an interesting question. He looks to see what Junpei will think when the request is surprisingly turned back to him.]
O-oh. N-no that's a bad idea bro. I got poisoned from eating it. I had to use a healing Persona on myself to take care of it. [And Ta-chan, the asshole forced him to do it just so he could get the best weapon. To be fair, it was a good weapon, and he was right. Just...] I wouldn't want this fae's regulars to drop down from pain.
[But he can think of things to help make it a nice smell...]
Uhhh...dried Cherry Blossoms in Tea, Wet Cement after Rain, and Okonomiyaki on the grill?
[ E-Eikichi???? Junpei looks at him, mildly alarmed that he'd gotten poisoned from the ramen. But then again, he's being way more considerate of the Fae than most of them deserve. If they got poisoned smelling the ramen candle, it'd be one small victory compared to how much the adopted had been tortured.
But Eikichi comes up with some good scents. Junpei can picture all of them pretty clearly. ]
Oooo. Cherry Blossoms in Tea! That sounds like a good one. Way better than what I was thinking. Hotdogs, Popcorn and Fresh Mowed Grass.
[ Very Baseball Brained. ]
But lets go with yours! We can come back again and get Cherry Blossoms in Tea.
[ Junpei imagines it -- trying very hard to picture what it smells like before he leans in toward the box, exhaling that breath into it. The smell seems to waft back up at him and Junpei is surprised. Whoa! That's some really neat magic. The seller takes their candles and places them in a bag and Junpei slides the handles over his wrist so they can head out. ]
......oh. OH! Eikichi!! Hotpot.
[ This is a very out of the blue thought. Maybe he smelled something as they were starting to leave that reminded him of it. But regardless. His eyes are wide. Hopeful. ]
Can we somehow do hotpot for our sunset picnic date??
[He's glad that Junpei understands what he meant. They'd have to come for that flavor later, as it reminds him of a simply time when he would go practise portraiture with hims mother and they'd stop for a bit of tea.]
Hotpot?!
[That seems complicated for a beach or a castle picnic. On the other hand...]
It has been a while since I've done shabu-shabu...we'd need a proper fire to do it and wood to get it burning. The rest seems pretty easy. I can just cut up a few things that the Kitchen can provide for us. So yeah, why the hell not? I don't think I've heard of a hotpot picnic, let's start a new trend!
Hell yeah, dude! Let's make it happen!! Maaaaybe we'll get lucky and some spot on top of the castle would have a nice firepit? But if not, looks like no coin toss for us and we'll just be going to the docks instead. I'm cool with it so long as we get hotpot picnic!
[ Junpei proceeds onward, a happy bounce in his step. And then he spots it. A little shop with a ton of oils and a few very phallic objects on display. Jackpot! He doesn't hesitate to make a beeline toward this place. Their final stop. He's always wanted to head into some shop like this -- or more likely, the back of a shop that provided things like this. It's kind of exciting to get to do it with a partner. Hehehe, Junpei sometimes is still left reeling over the fact that he can spend his days and end his nights getting to be with Eikichi. It gives him the warm tingles just thinking about it.
How many hours has it been since they hooked up?
Junpei looks at some of the gags and toys before he finds what he'd been looking for. A set of dice. Oddly, they seem blank. It's only when Junpei picks them up that they begin to fill in with words -- customizing as though it could sense the type of partner Junpei had in mind, giving options that would cater to a male presenting sexual encounter. Whooooa. That's nifty. He turns them in his hand and then looks at Eikichi with a suggestive glance when he flashes the words Fondle on one die and Balls on the other. ]
These are definitely coming home with us! And warming oil. Let's find that, too. And then bounce.
[ Junpei would, under normal circumstances, love to idly peruse everything this place had to offer. But! He's kinda reached the end of his limit. They need to get their clothes off STAT. ]
Let's just ditch the dice roll and do this at the beach. [Eikichi feels like a place with sand and water would be safer with fire involved.] We can do something on top of the castle tomorrow.
[It is amusing to watch Junpei move like that. It was too easy to get him happy sometimes, especially after everything that had happened. But oh! There they were. At the place Eikichi had never imagined himself going. A little too shy for it back home. Hell even now, it's only because he was holding the clothes and also because Junpei was there that he braved entering the belly of the beast, so to speak. If the beast had leather strapping anyway, which, now that he thought it, something he had witnessed before and he shudders briefly. Okay, time to put THAT out of his mind.
He can't help but laugh when Junpei shows him the dice...it's kinda silly but also he has a feeling it could become...interesting.]
Yeah! Here, let me hold the flowers and candles for you. [He is a little worried what they'll have to do this time, however. Doing fashion and breathing into boxes (and a mystery blood donations) weren't too bad - actually okay the blood donation was a bad idea. BUT STILL! None of those involved sexual...stuff.]
Just hold up the bottle when you find something! [Because he's got so much stuff in his arms he can barely see now. It's probably good they return home after this.]
[ He asks after Eikichi offers to hold everything. The pile of items is getting preetty high, and it makes Junpei think maybe they should have gone back for a bag. Then again, he also knows they wouldn't have come back. Damned if they got the bag, damned for not getting the bag.
Junpei carefully places the chest with the glass flowers on top of the boxes and hooks the bag of candles around Eikichi's wrist. He pauses just long enough to give him a squeezing embrace before he moves away to look over the oils. There's an extensive collection here with scents that are almost as unique as the candles. He finds some that cool and some meant to titillate. There's one that promises to take you to new heights, and Junpei pauses on that one -- both intrigued and mildly concerned what it might mean. But shortly thereafter, he finds the warming oils and reads over the labels. ]
Dragon Fruit Passion or Chocolate Lava Flower Delight?
[ He holds up the two oils so Eikichi could see them over their stack of new belongings. ]
Dragon Fruit Passion [he answers a little too easily from what he can see. The names are enough for him, thankfully.] The other one sounds like it be fattening, somehow. [The smell of chocolate would probably drive him insane anyway. The other one sounds like a much more fun time.]
Well, as long as it doesn't turn us into literal dragons anyway, right?
Always a possibility with Fae stuff. But then again, I see no downside! Being a badass dragon, flying around and breathing fire. How cool would that be?
[ Junpei sighs dreamily just imagining it. ]
Anyway. It's probably just normal warming oil. These labels are pretty specific. Except this cryptic one that promises to take you to new heights? Don't know what that means. Kinda want to know what it means...but we already got your blood floating around out there so let's just stick with one magical mystery at a time. We could try the cooling oils, though? If you want a different kinda sensation?
I mean if I'm gonna be a dragon, I'd rather be drag-on with you.
[It's not exactly Eikichi's fantasy, but he's totally game if Junpei is. Not that it will happen...he thinks.]
New heights? That sounds interesting. [You shouldn't have told him that. Now he kinda wants to take that dip...height? Dip height?] But if you think we should wait, that's fine. I mean nothing wrong with asking what they want, right? I'll let you do the call and back you up! As long as I don't have to give blood again, hahaha!
[ He says to the pun because Junpei's not one to turn his nose up at a good pun. Even though Ikutsuki punned a lot, his were always lame and annoying and Junpei will not allow that bastard to ruin puns for him. He refuses! ]
I mean, new heights could mean any number of things, man. It could be like feeling real good.....or like your junk becomes a helicopter and you go flying away.
[ A pause. Wait, wait. He's got one here. ]
A heli-cock-tor~!
[ He beams, so proud. Shame Eikichi can't see it over the mountain of boxes. With a shrug, he picks up the New Heights oil and adds it to the collection. He's got the warming oil, dice, and now thing other oil. He does a quick sweep of the shop. ]
Anything else intriguing you? There's a few things that got my interest, buuuut....I think we'd need a more permanent place to get those. This leather swing with built-in straps seems soooo cool! Think of the possibilities, dude!
[ And Junpei sure is thinking about the possibilities. A little too much. It's getting him into a some trouble here by stirring up...things. ]
But. Anyone can walk in. Tatsu-kun could come over. You could get a roommate. It's probably best to leave the swing.
[Suddenly, the boxes and the vase get quickly put to the floor as Eikichi bursts out laughing and doesn't want to break anything (but especially the flowers).]
Heli-cock-tor? Bro! Don't do this to me...
[Now that he can see, however, he does a quick look around. There are a lot of interesting things buuuuut....of course the fae would have a swing? Geeze.]
I'm good, if you get that oil. I think whatever happens, it's going to be funny.
[There is a thin line between funny and sexy and he's all about skirting it as much as possible.]
[ Junpei is quick to join Eikichi in his laughter. Yaay! There he is again, no items obscuring his face! He moves toward him, rises up on tippy toes and plants a smooch on his cheek. ]
I wonder how much they'd charge for that handsome fella with the blue hair?
[ With good humor, he nods and takes their haul along with him -- sparing one last longing look toward the swing. They will swing back for it later, surely. Junpei approaches the pierced Fae running the shop and lays the items down. The shop owner looks between them and then names their price: ]
Do you feel lucky, my amorous friends? I believe you cannot put a true cost on a good time. Thus, I leave it to chance. A roll of the die, if you will. Allow fate to guide your adventures. Complete them before sunrise and the items will be yours for no further cost. However, should you fail to do as the die command, I will take from both of you a drop of your vitality.
[ Vitality? Uhhhh, what's that mean? Junpei looks to Eikichi with an eyebrow raise. ]
Um, does that mean we'd have to do what the dice says...here?
[ The Fae chuckles: ] The die shall decide all of this for you. But it knows your heart. It will only allow for what is most enjoyable for you both.
[ Junpei looks back at Eikichi in question. What are his thoughts? Does he trust that? Does he want to chance it? They're both pretty adventurous, after all....so it really shouldn't be a problem to complete whatever the dice want. ]

[He stops when he sees...what looks to be a candle shop. Different smelling ones too. Maybe they had something like 'after the rain' or 'freshly cleaned clothing'. He leans closer to see if there's any interesting scents for sale.]'
Spicy cinnamon dreams? Chocolate cake? [Should he even trust the fae to get the flavours right? He half expects them to smell like used socks at this point.]
no subject
You're my spicy cinnamon dream.
[ He comments playfully. Does it make sense? No. Not at all. But it fits right along the lines of that time Junpei called Eikichi 'his perfect ten.' Was that the first official time he flirted? Because that's about when Junpei realized he was into Eikichi.
He lifts a boring beige candle to read the label. ]
Vanilla Blossom. Is....vanilla a flower? I thought it was....I dunno. Kinda like a green bean. You hear vanilla bean all the time when it comes to desserts. Oh! Can you bake? Or do you just cook? All these food candles kinda make me want something sweet.
[ Or......to lick whipped cream off of Eikichi. That could be a fiiiine dessert. Junpei grins at the thought, grins like he's had the most devious of thoughts, and then immediately looks back to Eikichi like he's the picture of innocence and nothing naughty crossed his mind at all. ]
no subject
[And that also does not make sense, but it is funny and he laughs at them both being idiots (lovingly).]
Maybe it is some sort of cake, or the flower of the plant? I heard it takes a while to make true vanilla...sort of like Soy Sauce, you have to let it get old over a few weeks or months. [He looks away.] Not really. I haven't had a need to make cakes but pops let me play around with Wagashi for a bit. That's less sweet and more for a refined pallet. Or so they say. Mom seemed to like the ones I made.
[He looks back at Junpei, wanting to cross his arms at that moment. What the hell was he thinking again?
...he's fireproof his lizard brain reminds him. Very excitingly. Eikichi has no idea what he'd do with this knowledge, but candles had fire.]
...Do you want to get a candle?
no subject
Make some for me sometime?
[ Junpei will literally eat anything Eikichi puts in front of him, but that sounds kinda special. Like something he only got to make for his mom before or something. And Junpei is all about chasing these special little memories with Eikichi. ]
Yeah, we should get one.
[ Or a few. Eikichi seems like he wants some so!! Junpei will just casually collect Spicy Cinnamon Dreams and Vanilla Blossom in his free hand because those DEFINITELY have to come with but. Hmm. ]
Warm Summer Glow?
[ He reads the label in confusion and then leans in to give it a sniff, coming back even more confused. ]
Huh. It somehow smells like that feeling you get when you step out of the water and the warm sun hits your back...
[ A beat. ]
And wasabi?
no subject
I'll need to get a book. It's not something I learned for long, so I really don't know how to make them without one. I haven't been drilled to make them for the past eight years, y'know?
[Which is ironic as Eikichi probably would have really made a good maker for those if he'd been allowed to do them more. Perhaps he could use this as a way to try doing it again.]
Wasabi? [He gets closer to the candle to sniff it as well, being very careful not to knock anything down in the small cramped area. Junpei is right, it smells slightly chlorine-ish and sandy with a weird plant smell. It might be wasabi? He's not sure either.]
Well...it fits our court so let's just get it and figure things out later! I don't mind it, there's no ocean fish smell so this is fine. [Anything fish would get an instant no. He takes the vase from Junpei so he can find the seller and see what insanity they'll be roped into this time.]
no subject
For three candles, you must give three scents -- unique when combined, never before seen or tried. Imagine this scent, picture it in your mind and then exhale through your nose into this box.
[ Oh. Hmm. Junpei looks at the box and then looks at Eikichi. Three things, huh? Oh, wait! ]
Wasn't there a weird ramen you had to eat?
[ That was three things combined, wasn't it? Three things that have never been thought up before. And surely Eikichi would remember the smell. He always seems a little sickened by the thought of it. ]
no subject
O-oh. N-no that's a bad idea bro. I got poisoned from eating it. I had to use a healing Persona on myself to take care of it. [And Ta-chan, the asshole forced him to do it just so he could get the best weapon. To be fair, it was a good weapon, and he was right. Just...] I wouldn't want this fae's regulars to drop down from pain.
[But he can think of things to help make it a nice smell...]
Uhhh...dried Cherry Blossoms in Tea, Wet Cement after Rain, and Okonomiyaki on the grill?
no subject
But Eikichi comes up with some good scents. Junpei can picture all of them pretty clearly. ]
Oooo. Cherry Blossoms in Tea! That sounds like a good one. Way better than what I was thinking. Hotdogs, Popcorn and Fresh Mowed Grass.
[ Very Baseball Brained. ]
But lets go with yours! We can come back again and get Cherry Blossoms in Tea.
[ Junpei imagines it -- trying very hard to picture what it smells like before he leans in toward the box, exhaling that breath into it. The smell seems to waft back up at him and Junpei is surprised. Whoa! That's some really neat magic. The seller takes their candles and places them in a bag and Junpei slides the handles over his wrist so they can head out. ]
......oh. OH! Eikichi!! Hotpot.
[ This is a very out of the blue thought. Maybe he smelled something as they were starting to leave that reminded him of it. But regardless. His eyes are wide. Hopeful. ]
Can we somehow do hotpot for our sunset picnic date??
no subject
Hotpot?!
[That seems complicated for a beach or a castle picnic. On the other hand...]
It has been a while since I've done shabu-shabu...we'd need a proper fire to do it and wood to get it burning. The rest seems pretty easy. I can just cut up a few things that the Kitchen can provide for us. So yeah, why the hell not? I don't think I've heard of a hotpot picnic, let's start a new trend!
no subject
[ Junpei proceeds onward, a happy bounce in his step. And then he spots it. A little shop with a ton of oils and a few very phallic objects on display. Jackpot! He doesn't hesitate to make a beeline toward this place. Their final stop. He's always wanted to head into some shop like this -- or more likely, the back of a shop that provided things like this. It's kind of exciting to get to do it with a partner. Hehehe, Junpei sometimes is still left reeling over the fact that he can spend his days and end his nights getting to be with Eikichi. It gives him the warm tingles just thinking about it.
How many hours has it been since they hooked up?
Junpei looks at some of the gags and toys before he finds what he'd been looking for. A set of dice. Oddly, they seem blank. It's only when Junpei picks them up that they begin to fill in with words -- customizing as though it could sense the type of partner Junpei had in mind, giving options that would cater to a male presenting sexual encounter. Whooooa. That's nifty. He turns them in his hand and then looks at Eikichi with a suggestive glance when he flashes the words Fondle on one die and Balls on the other. ]
These are definitely coming home with us! And warming oil. Let's find that, too. And then bounce.
[ Junpei would, under normal circumstances, love to idly peruse everything this place had to offer. But! He's kinda reached the end of his limit. They need to get their clothes off STAT. ]
no subject
[It is amusing to watch Junpei move like that. It was too easy to get him happy sometimes, especially after everything that had happened. But oh! There they were. At the place Eikichi had never imagined himself going. A little too shy for it back home. Hell even now, it's only because he was holding the clothes and also because Junpei was there that he braved entering the belly of the beast, so to speak. If the beast had leather strapping anyway, which, now that he thought it, something he had witnessed before and he shudders briefly. Okay, time to put THAT out of his mind.
He can't help but laugh when Junpei shows him the dice...it's kinda silly but also he has a feeling it could become...interesting.]
Yeah! Here, let me hold the flowers and candles for you. [He is a little worried what they'll have to do this time, however. Doing fashion and breathing into boxes (and a mystery blood donations) weren't too bad - actually okay the blood donation was a bad idea. BUT STILL! None of those involved sexual...stuff.]
Just hold up the bottle when you find something! [Because he's got so much stuff in his arms he can barely see now. It's probably good they return home after this.]
no subject
[ He asks after Eikichi offers to hold everything. The pile of items is getting preetty high, and it makes Junpei think maybe they should have gone back for a bag. Then again, he also knows they wouldn't have come back. Damned if they got the bag, damned for not getting the bag.
Junpei carefully places the chest with the glass flowers on top of the boxes and hooks the bag of candles around Eikichi's wrist. He pauses just long enough to give him a squeezing embrace before he moves away to look over the oils. There's an extensive collection here with scents that are almost as unique as the candles. He finds some that cool and some meant to titillate. There's one that promises to take you to new heights, and Junpei pauses on that one -- both intrigued and mildly concerned what it might mean. But shortly thereafter, he finds the warming oils and reads over the labels. ]
Dragon Fruit Passion or Chocolate Lava Flower Delight?
[ He holds up the two oils so Eikichi could see them over their stack of new belongings. ]
no subject
Dragon Fruit Passion [he answers a little too easily from what he can see. The names are enough for him, thankfully.] The other one sounds like it be fattening, somehow. [The smell of chocolate would probably drive him insane anyway. The other one sounds like a much more fun time.]
Well, as long as it doesn't turn us into literal dragons anyway, right?
no subject
[ Junpei sighs dreamily just imagining it. ]
Anyway. It's probably just normal warming oil. These labels are pretty specific. Except this cryptic one that promises to take you to new heights? Don't know what that means. Kinda want to know what it means...but we already got your blood floating around out there so let's just stick with one magical mystery at a time. We could try the cooling oils, though? If you want a different kinda sensation?
no subject
[It's not exactly Eikichi's fantasy, but he's totally game if Junpei is. Not that it will happen...he thinks.]
New heights? That sounds interesting. [You shouldn't have told him that. Now he kinda wants to take that dip...height? Dip height?] But if you think we should wait, that's fine. I mean nothing wrong with asking what they want, right? I'll let you do the call and back you up! As long as I don't have to give blood again, hahaha!
no subject
[ He says to the pun because Junpei's not one to turn his nose up at a good pun. Even though Ikutsuki punned a lot, his were always lame and annoying and Junpei will not allow that bastard to ruin puns for him. He refuses! ]
I mean, new heights could mean any number of things, man. It could be like feeling real good.....or like your junk becomes a helicopter and you go flying away.
[ A pause. Wait, wait. He's got one here. ]
A heli-cock-tor~!
[ He beams, so proud. Shame Eikichi can't see it over the mountain of boxes. With a shrug, he picks up the New Heights oil and adds it to the collection. He's got the warming oil, dice, and now thing other oil. He does a quick sweep of the shop. ]
Anything else intriguing you? There's a few things that got my interest, buuuut....I think we'd need a more permanent place to get those. This leather swing with built-in straps seems soooo cool! Think of the possibilities, dude!
[ And Junpei sure is thinking about the possibilities. A little too much. It's getting him into a some trouble here by stirring up...things. ]
But. Anyone can walk in. Tatsu-kun could come over. You could get a roommate. It's probably best to leave the swing.
[ For now. ]
For now. [ His mouth echoes his thoughts. ]
no subject
Heli-cock-tor? Bro! Don't do this to me...
[Now that he can see, however, he does a quick look around. There are a lot of interesting things buuuuut....of course the fae would have a swing? Geeze.]
I'm good, if you get that oil. I think whatever happens, it's going to be funny.
[There is a thin line between funny and sexy and he's all about skirting it as much as possible.]
We can always swing by later.
[He heard that 'for now']
no subject
I wonder how much they'd charge for that handsome fella with the blue hair?
[ With good humor, he nods and takes their haul along with him -- sparing one last longing look toward the swing. They will swing back for it later, surely. Junpei approaches the pierced Fae running the shop and lays the items down. The shop owner looks between them and then names their price: ]
Do you feel lucky, my amorous friends? I believe you cannot put a true cost on a good time. Thus, I leave it to chance. A roll of the die, if you will. Allow fate to guide your adventures. Complete them before sunrise and the items will be yours for no further cost. However, should you fail to do as the die command, I will take from both of you a drop of your vitality.
[ Vitality? Uhhhh, what's that mean? Junpei looks to Eikichi with an eyebrow raise. ]
Um, does that mean we'd have to do what the dice says...here?
[ The Fae chuckles: ] The die shall decide all of this for you. But it knows your heart. It will only allow for what is most enjoyable for you both.
[ Junpei looks back at Eikichi in question. What are his thoughts? Does he trust that? Does he want to chance it? They're both pretty adventurous, after all....so it really shouldn't be a problem to complete whatever the dice want. ]
