I wish he was around, cause I am curious what he'd say about your sign.
[He's a little melancholy about that. Not just cause he wants to see his friend, but he wishes Tatsuya would also get to have moments like this. He deserves it.]
Y-yeah! I don't mind. Plus we're two persona users. Whatever this world could end up throwing at us, we could fight back, right? [Then he waves a hand.] Oh? Are you scared? Maybe we should get a tent next time.
[ Junpei looks over at Eikichi and places a hand on his, a small comfort. He knows Eikichi misses his friends. He also knows getting to have them in this place would be one of the best things for him and Tatsuya. They would get to defy Nyarlathotep for a little longer -- have time they never would otherwise for just a little longer. This place has its problems but there are also a number of days where it doesn't have any problems at all and they're allowed to live and have fun as they pleased.
He wishes there was more he could do, but Junpei does what he can. And that's being a supportive boyfriend when Eikichi's mood dips and try to bring back his smile! ]
Clearly he would say Capricorns are super duper compatible with Scorpios! And they're super handsome and not at all scared to do a hard makeout under the stars in this very public space if you're down.
[ Junpei's brows raise. He's mostly trying to be considerate of Eikichi since Eikichi did get shy in the market earlier when Junpei started talking a little raunchy. ]
Honestly, I think he'd be happy to toss me with anyone in terms of compatibility than with Suou. [Eikichi remembers when Jun was uh...talking about that, more to himself than him and then switched to blood types when he didn't get what he wanted out of astrology. But then he laughs.]
Hard makeout? Is that a threat or a promise?
[If he tries to get him, Eikichi is just going to up the ante.]
[ Junpei laughs after Eikichi explains Jun's motivation. Can he blame him? Sounds like Jun and Tatsuya were a great match. Clearly Tatsuya felt the same way, too. So if Jun had to manipulate the horoscopes or stars or whatever just to make sure nothing threatened that, why not? Of course, it's not like Eikichi is a threat anyway. He had Miyabi and zero interest in Tatsuya romantically. ]
Mmm....both~! Or whichever one gets you going the most. It's that one. Or neither, if you want me submissive and pliant~!
[ He teases while swishing some of the steak in the broth. Junpei's clearly the most adaptable partner who can switch up to match whatever mood Eikichi is in. ]
Anyway, we don't need astrology or tarot to say we're the perfect match. But I wouldn't be surprised if either of those things supported it. Shame that fortune teller disappeared. It could've been fun to have a reading...
I like it when we're both feisty . Makes it more fun y'know? Unless YOU want to do something in particular. I'll play out my role to the best of my ability!
[That's the sign of a good relationship, at the very least, willing to talk to each other and figure all of this out. He sighs a little at the mention of the fortune teller, however.]
Yeah, but that guy is the one causing the issues here. Or at least part of it. Now that I think about it, the two people I know that are good with astrology are unhinged. Maybe reading the stars does something to a person or fae.
Noted. [ He says. What he likes the most about their relationship is the degree of flexibility they have. What they want could change from day to day. There are just as many days so far that Junpei's loved being in control as much as he loves ceding it and being fully dominated. Sometimes he likes it soft. Sometimes he demands Eikichi put ALL of his strength into it. But the wonderful thing is they always meet each other, whatever they want...whatever they're feeling. It's all so good. ]
Well. Jun was manipulated, wasn't he? So did the unhinged part come from him or something else? And maybe it's the same way with Skazani. Sounds like they might have once been one of us?
[ As soon as that sentence leaves his mouth, Junpei falls into a quiet worry. It's easy to focus on Eikichi and the good times they have together but it comes at a cost. They might lose themselves someday. And that's a heavy, sorrowful thought. A reminder of their borrowed time. ]
He was, but I think that's a little of his personality too. He was our leader when we were kids, you know! I think he just leaned into it a little more. Sort of like Akechi?
[He blinks at the comment, knowing what Junpei is thinking; there is a time limit to all of this. Who knows when they'll be fully fae. But then tries to pull himself back together.]
We'll figure it out. You asked me to demon contact you anyway, right? You can't just break that even with fae magic! [Probably yes, but if he believes that 'rumour' enough, it might become true.] Besides there's been Persona users who have been here longer than us and they don't seem to have problems yet! We have time to figure it out!
[ It surprises him -- the way Eikichi so clearly can read his thoughts. Of course, these were probably pretty obvious, but still. It's once again a testament to how good of a match they are for one another. Junpei smiles at him, nodding once before readjusting his position in order to lean against Eikichi again. The sun in the distance has almost fully set, just a thin beam of gold on the horizon. It's the end of a perfect day with the perfect partner. ]
That's true. Our contract is fully binding and totally legit. And it'll protect us from any and all weird magic trying to change us.
[ Junpei says with full conviction. Maybe the strength of their hearts can will that into being true -- like how they were able to pull magic from themselves to restore furniture when the castle was glitching! They....can use this weird ass magic for good. ]
You're one of the best things to happen in my life, Eiki-chin. Sometimes your lie detecting abilities kinda suck, but at least in this case, they're good. 'Cause you know I mean every word.
[He has to wonder if they could make it more legally binding, like exchange blood or some ritual. Eh, he'd think about it later. Maybe this is enough already.
He beams at Junpei, his smile so large he can feel his cheeks hurting.]
I promise I don't do it on purpose. [And he has ignored some lies at times. He brings Junpei closer to him, if that's even possible at this point.] You're one of the best things to happen to my life too.
Of course I am! I mean check me out. Who wouldn't want a piece of this?? I've had to turn down people left and right and tell them I'm already taken by the most handsome guy in this place!
[ A flat out lie that he's not even bothering to pretend is not a lie. Not one single person has flirted with him (apart from Eikichi and the flirting only came after they already started banging. Geesh.) But a guy can dream, right? ]
I'll keep right on being one of your best things, though. Until you get sick of me!
[ Or they have to part ways by other, more depressing means. But Junpei's trying to keep it light and playful here. ]
[ This poetic shit gets a mildly embarrassed laugh and a soft pink to spread across his cheeks. ]
...you gonna write me a song, bro?
[ Junpei....realizes he'd like that. He'd like that a lot. It never struck him as a possibility that he could inspire a song written by Eikichi or be a worthy muse. Yet, both Eikichi and Chidori drew him in their sketchbooks. A whole song is just another level to that, isn't it? ]
Heh. You big ol' sap.
[ Like Junpei's one to talk here. But he says it with a smile. In fact, Junpei's finding it hard to stop smiling. ]
[ Junpei laughs, a teasing wink flashed in Eikichi's direction. ]
In you is definitely one of my fave places to be!
[ And he tends to the last of his food. He's already pretty full, but it's so good that he's gotta force the last few slices into his belly because he doesn't want it to go to waste. It's not like Eikichi would eat it either. Especially because the last bit is all the seafood. Junpei sits back when he's finished, letting out a happy and satisfied sigh as he pats his belly. ]
We definitely need to do this again. Once a month, hot pot/sunset date! Not enough to get sick of it, but often enough to look forward to it.
[He waits until Junpei is done eating before leaning on him. The night has fallen, and the only light comes from the coals burning under the pot. The sound of the waves and the ghost ship in the harbor. Not a bad way to end a day, honestly.]
That's a great idea. We could change up the food too if we want. Or I could do hot pot each time.
That's something we can improvise when it rolls around.
[ How many months will they have? Well, it's hard to say. Even barring the fact that they're supposed to be looking for a way out, people disappear without a trace all the time. So it's better to not plan too much. Junpei turns his head to plant a soft kiss on Eikichi's cheekbone. ]
Moments like this kinda make you forget you're a prisoner, huh?
[ A light chuckle follows. ]
Well, Eiki-chin, I'm glad we got kidnapped together. Which is a weird theme following all of my relationships. I ever tell you Chidori kidnapped me at the start of ours?
[ Being overpowered and tied up was clearly NOT a dealbreaker for him. Honestly, the real shame is that she couldn't do it again, but for different purposes. ]
[ He winks at Eikichi, hand finding his so fingers could slide together. ]
I was trying to impress her and like a dumbass, I totally blabbed about being a persona user. Had no clue she was with Strega. So the next day when she wasn't at the spot we'd been meeting, I was pretty disappointed. I went back to the dorm and then she just comes up behind me, didn't even hear her there or nothing. Couldn't even tell ya what she did to knock me out. But I wake up on the roof of the dorm, tied up with her threatening to kill me if I didn't call off the mission.
[ His shoulder lightly bumps against Eikichi. ]
Kinda like you threatening me to get a confession!! Heh. Seeing my type so clearly right now.
