It's too early for this to be a Christmas Miracle... [open-ish]

Who: Yukine and the people he knows. (And people he will soon know?)
What: Someone benefited from this unknown fruit phenomenon! Yukine is now TALLER!(And is totally not excited about it, can you tell.)
Besides being taller (180cm/5'9"), Yukine also looks a few years older. His voice sounds the same though, and he has the same slight build.
When: Afternoon of May 17, and up to May 20th.
Where: All over the place, Near and Far Shores.
Warnings: None


[One: Yato]
The day after working hard for the people of that small town, Yukine and Yato are back to working hard in another way. Cutting down ayakashi before they can harm humans. Averting disaster. Getting Yato closer to being a God of Fortune.

... Not that you'd know it to look at the guy. They'll work on that. Seriously, anything would be better than the track suit and ratty scarf.

On lunch break Yukine is probing the topic starting from "You've been around a while, right? What do you think 'bout kimonos?" When suddenly- he feels weird. He's trying to listen to Yato's answer, really he is, but his eyes look right through him, unfocus for a moment...
Blinking he rubs his hand across his eyes. He feels better in one way, but now there's a different problem-
"Geh- Wh-what the hell? Why is everything so tight?!" It hurts, actually. His pants are too short and too tight, his shirt is pinching at him, and his shoes feel way too small.


[Two: Bishamon and Kazuma]
Yukine is on his way to show off visit the people he knows. And, well, ok- the fact that Yato was worried over what happened to him made him want to go to Bishamonten-sama's first, just to see if she knew anything from her experience.
(...But mostly to show off.)

Showing up in Bishamon's courtyard in a pink collared shirt and black pants (that are both a bit too large for him, but better that than too small), he catches the first shinki he sees to find out where the god and her exemplar are.


[Three: Everyone else! aka the choose your own adventure option]
There are some normally scheduled things, like tutoring. And some things that aren't scheduled, but an easy reason to visit, like sword practice or visiting cats.
Or perhaps you just happen across Yukine - even though he looks different, his name on his collarbone is still easy to spot. Not knowing how long this will last (forever, right!), he will be spending some time clothes shopping. Shirt to shoes, he needs a new wardrobe.
However he meets people, Yukine will be quite happy to pause and chat for a moment.

[Oh god, don't remind him. He's been trying to enjoy this (or at least, live with it) as much as possible and not think about what he might have to do to change it back. And his eyes, too. What is he even supposed to do about that.]

I really don't want to have to do that. Maybe it'll change back on its own.

[...Ah, that hit a nerve. Oops. Of course, everyone's going to have different feelings about whatever transformations are going around...but it is interesting that Yukine is already that attached to being taller...

Ren smiles and briefly waves a hand to say it's fine.
]

I don't know, if it's affected enough people, I bet someone else got something they like too. anyway, things like this can be tricky; maybe we'll have to do something really specific to fix it and then you just don't have to do it.

[Guess who only has half an idea of what he's talking about. It's this guy.]

[Ren huffs and plops his chin in his hand as he pouts at the kitten. The whole motion is definitely over exaggerated and it's difficult not to let a smile come through as he watches Yukine.]

Oh, he's fine now, but he wouldn't give me the time of day this morning.
shadowrevenger: (pic#8617586)

i'm sorry for him

[personal profile] shadowrevenger 2017-02-26 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Unfortunately, it's a bit of teasing that seems to have gone completely over his head, because he just looks bewildered by it.]

Why would I ask him for the time? I have clocks.

[Because that was definitely the point of that teasing, yep.]

[personal profile] shadowrevenger 2017-02-28 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
[His own very special one.

And thank goodness for Yukine clarifying things, because he would have gone on seeming clueless for ages otherwise. Instead, he blinks at the logic and then laughs a little.
]

Oh, I guess you're right. But I don't have to ask; they come in an tell me when it's time for breakfast. Or when they think it's supposed to be time, anyway.

[personal profile] shadowrevenger 2017-02-28 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
That's okay. I needed a bit of a break anyway.

[Never mind that he probably just came off a break ten minutes before Yukine came in. Nope, he'll just be putting aside the notebook and pen that was still in his lap with a cheery smile because he's going to cling to every opportunity to slack off that comes his way.]

Actually, I'm glad you came by. I have something I've been meaning to ask you.

[For a split second, Ren is surprised that's his first thought, until he realizes that a) they have actually talked about that a lot, haven't they and b) he hasn't actually mentioned to Yukine yet most of the trouble is gone now. Somehow.]

No, not today.

[Although he should probably mention at some point today...]

No, I was wondering if you could show me how to make a borderline.

[personal profile] shadowrevenger 2017-03-01 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
I know, and I think that's very unfair. [Hopefully the way he pouts as he says it is enough to show he's kidding.]

Even if I can't do it, I can still show my shinki what to do if they need it, right?

[please don't tell him this is also something shinki can only teach each other...]

[As soon as Yukine starts his explanation, Ren drops all pretense of his flightiness to listen and watch intently to what he's doing. When the borderline pops up, he also doesn't jump like he normally would and instead stares at it just as intently and then at the ground where it was when it's gone.

To be honest, this is only the second or third time he's really seen one, and the first time he'd been too distracted to realize that was what it was until later...

As Yukine finishes, Ren takes a moment to practice forming his fingers the right way and slices them through the air in the same way. When he does finally answer the question, it's quiet and thoughtful and more directed at his own hand than at Yukine.

...Hakkai-san said you can use those to repel anything you feel strongly about, not just ayakashi. Is that right?

[personal profile] shadowrevenger 2017-03-04 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, well. It's been long enough that he doesn't remember the exact wording, just the idea Hakkai was trying to get across.]

Mmm, we didn't talk about it for long, but he mentioned it.

[He smiles a little and presses a finger to his lips.]

I'll keep it a secret from the others. But it seems like it would be really helpful to know that in some situations.

[Funnily enough, nora--or rather, giving his shinki a shield against someone trying to make them a nora--is exactly why he asked about this in the first place.]

You're a really conscientious person, Yukine-kun.

[He gives Yukine an extra-cute smile, but only briefly, and then he's back to looking like he is trying to treat this seriously.]

It's alright, I know how easy it is to start abusing a power just because you can. I'm not going to teach just anyone. Just my shinki.

Well, holding back is one of my specialties, so you can always count on me if you need to.

[Of course, one of his other specialties is basically the opposite of holding back but...that's not important right now.

He blinks a little at the question, and then has to hold back a laugh. Oops. It a little hard to compliment someone if they didn't understand it.

It means you're very thoughtful and responsible, and you care a lot about how your actions might affect other people.
