[ 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.

1/2
[Of course he'd hype him up just like Junpei does to him, even if no other person had flirted with him.]
That ain't happennin' babe. Unless you suddenly change personality! Rain or Shine! Sunset or Sunrise! Our hearts are connected, our love protected...

[Now that he's great at it, but that's also the 'job' of the lead singer, right? With Junpei as his hype man, he can totally let his heart to speak!]
Heh. You like it, right? Otherwise you wouldn't be hangin' around me. Or in me.
[Wow okay Eikichi, there might be other people watching. Well, not that many since the sun is almost set but still...]

Heh. Yeah. It's not too bad for a...golden cage, if I can spend it with you.

No, but now I gotta know bro! You really know how to pick'em.
