Who: (Saruhiko) Fushimi + you
When: IC August 23rd-30th
Where: Around
What: So apparently those two jackass teenaged shinki are staying. Fushimi doesn't approve of this and is getting the heck out for a while.

[Yeah, so, after realizing Roy had taken in two abandoned shinki and that one of them was the Asshole from the Festival and the other his strangely codependent best friend (which Fushimi thought was concerning and really he should maybe try to fix that (yes, the irony is lost on him)), Fushimi has been doing his best to either hide in is bedroom or be anywhere not the damn temple. He can't really get mad at Roy for taking them in. He was a genuinely decent guy and sure, Fushimi was now dealing with this fear of being replaced if one of the brats was a weapon better suited for Roy, but he also knew he was the exemplar and, frankly, there would be few abilities better than his for fighting so he's okay. He swears.

Still getting out for a while.]

The Far Shore

[Fushimi is most likely going to be found around Njord's temple a lot. Misaki is there, after all, even if he's not really keen on the whole "beach" air she's got going on here. He'll also spend a lot of time just sort of. Sitting outside of it, texting Misaki to come invite him or waiting for the idiot to get back so he can be let in, typing away at his laptop.

This may or may not be creepy. Feel free to call him out on this.

Or feel free to see him wandering around, bored and poking at his phone.]

The Near Shore

[Sometimes he gets bored of being dead and heads into Tokyo. Usually, this is to find some tech something, as the more Fushimi messes with technology the more he realizes that he can make more interesting things. Still, parts are always useful, as are games, so he does often find something to buy.

Please don't ask how he gets this money. He does not want to explain "forum moderation" and "freelance codework" to someone he doubts will get it.

And he certainly doesn't want anyone to bring up the questionable legality of some of the freelance he does. What are morals?]

Wildcard!

[Want to do a thing I didn't mention? Let me know!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Like you're the most important person in my life?

[Stupid Misaki.]

I'm not sure how, just that you were. Are. Whatever.

[ That.... doesn't completely answer his question. But it answers another one, and he settles again, frowning fiercely for a moment.

Then he thwaps Saru upside the head with a pillow again. ]

So are you. So now I guess you're really stuck with me.

[This time Fushimi grabs the pillow and yanks it from Misaki's hand.]

So what, you're my boyfriend now?

[ Yata freezes as the pillow is yanked away, staring at Saru in surprise. ]

Hah?!

...never mind.

[Obviously he'd thought wrong in thinking that Misaki had some of the same...opinions about him that he had about Misaki in that memory.]

You...

[ He blinks, because his brain hadn't made that connection yet. It was one thing knowing he liked Saru and for him to jump from there to that. At least it was several Yata-sized steps that Saru had managed to leap over in a single bound. Now he felt like he was running to keep up, staring at the other boy as his thoughts spin. ]

....Do you want me to be your boyfriend?

[ He doesn't sound like he finds it a terrible idea. Just a surprising one. Give him a minute to wrap around something that had never occurred to him before, okay. This isn't the sort of shit he normally spends time thinking about. Not until it punches him in the face and makes him think about it, anyway. ]

Do you even know what that entails?

[Questions answered with questions. The best way to avoid answering.]

[ Dammit, Saru. ]

Ahhh.... no? [ He sounds a little sheepish about that. ] It's not like I can remember ever having one before, right?

Then don't ask if I want you to be my boyfriend unless you want that.

[Where did this conversation go wrong?]

....You've thought about this.

[ There's a hint of surprised wonder in Yata's face as he sits up straighter and stares at his friend, finally something clicking into place for him at those words. ]

You didn't answer my question.

[ Even if now he had a pretty good guess as to why. ]

[Dodging that first statement.]

Which question? You ask so many.

Is that what you want?

[ His voice is uncommonly serious as he holds Saru's gaze, watching his expression, his reactions.

He asks it, even if he suspects he already knows the answer. ]

[. . .

Fushimi looks away.]

It's not a good idea.

[But that's not a no.]

[ Yata pauses, and then gives a quiet snort before reaching out and bumping his fist against Saru's shoulder. ]

Since when has that ever stopped us from doing something we wanted?

Why isn't it a good idea?

Because we remember fuck all and trying to remember things turns us into ayakashi? What if we trigger something?

So don't try to remember anything.

[ It's not really that easy and he knows that, even if he's been trying anyway. ]

We haven't yet, right? Would it change this... us, so much?

...well. I'd have new ways to piss you off.

[He smirks a bit.]

But...hopefully not.

[ He makes a face at him for that. Like Saru needs more of those anyway.

But in a way Saru had answered by not answering. ]

So you do.

Tch, I don't know, okay? You're important. That's it. Does anything else matter?

Maybe. I dunno. [ He casts Saru a crooked, knowing grin at that. ] We can figure it out as we go. Think about. I will too. And when we figure out what we want, we can... I dunno. Decide from there. Right?

...Right.

[Something seems to settle in Fushimi at that, and he smiles a little at Misaki--who is now apparently his boyfriend.]

Misaki-chan.

[And cue the torment.]

[ He half-snarls, half-laughs at that, lunging for the pillow Saru had stolen from him. ]

Oh, don't you even start!

Aw, you don't like it?

[Nope he is sitting on that pillow now.]

[ Yata just shoves Saru instead, intending to unseat him in his efforts of pillow retrieval. ]

You know I don't!

Misa-chan?

[He carefully gets his laptop off his lap because he knows this is going to piss him off.]

Mi-chan?
