puppycrush2 | week two

[Tsukasa is too busy carefully flinching away from every butterfly that flutters even remotely close to complain about being carried.

Also he likes his nose, and doesn't want it to be bitten.]

Red and purple... [taking mental notes for the next time he has to be a part of a show with a demon? Yeah, maybe.]

No... b-b-butterflies, I assume...

No butterflies! But there's a lot of creatures with horns and demons too.

[ it's a 50/50 chance on when tsukasa flinches if minami walks closer to the butterfly or pivots away from it. none of them get actually within landing distance, but still. ]

[omg what a brat

He will get all of the flinches and little noises of panic he desires every time he pulls Tsukasa closer to a butterfly instead of further away.

also he objectively knows demons are worse than butterflies so he will, for once, keep his stupid comments to himself even though he is more scared of butterflies than demons personally.]

... What else is there? [pls distract him, he still sounds a little strained]

[ cute... minami thinks this is the best date ever. ]

Minotaur, kappa, sinners with all kinds of body modifications. Oh and the people from Hell's Organization I guess that make sure we don't escape. They stick out like a sore thumb with their billowy stupid white cloaks. It makes them easy to trip!

[... huh?]

Hell's Organization...? So there's an organization like that?

They're not regular people, are they?

No, they're all stupidly devoted to one God or another, there's a bunch! Sometimes they're people who were priests in their life or just people who want to keep fighting "evil" cuz it's all they get off to.

They're good, we're evil, they're justice blah blah blah. [ he sticks his tongue out and then swats a butterfly away before it gets too close to them. ]

[These poor butterflies have done nothing wrong.

Tsukasa relaxes when it's not near as close anymore though.]

Ah, so you're all held there...

[well. that does make sense. it's hell. Minami is a demon.

It's just ?????

Tsukasa is dumb and soft and feels bad about that!!]

Yeah, it's really boring! Cuz I'm an incubus I can cross over to the other side in other people's dreams but I can't really interact with the living world.

This is way more fun! [ i hope tsukasa doesn't get motion sick because he's twirling (them both) now. ]

[Not yet he isn't, but if Minami keeps that up he sure might.]

W-whoa--!

[MINAMI...]

Be careful! I understand that you're excited, but you might hurt the butterflies...!

[Like yeah he's petrified of them but they should probably not hurt them, either.]

No way, they can fly and I can't. [ he stops but more because his train of thought has shifted, looking up at the canopy above them. ]

Man, I wanna fly...I wonder if I could learn to one day.

[Hah?]

--Would that really be possible?

Maybe! It's rare for incubi to even get physical forms you know. So I've evolved already!

[ honestly he has no idea but he's not going to discount it. ]

[Hey, but.]

That'd be incredible. Then... you don't know the extent of your own abilities yet?

[it's almost like a metaphor]

Hehe, I know some things and others I've just figured out. But I guess you can put it that way.

Aren't I awesome? [ he looks down at tsukasa, very ✨️ in demeanor and expression. ]

Well, yes.

[QUITE FRANKLY... he's so ordinary human. Even though he does think he's a pretty spectacular human, he can't imagine just... pulling new abilities out of thin air.]

Then you just have to go with trial and error until you figure out what you can do?

Hehe. [ he giggles, pleased, bringing them over to (totally coincidentally) a staircase that'll give them a view of the entire exhibition, likely too high to really see the butterflies. one of his perhaps not obvious vices is pride. ]

Yeah, or instinct, or stealing a book from Seiya's library that has a compendium of that sorta stuff.

[Oh. Thank god. Okay.

They're up above the butterflies. There are no bugs here.

Tsukasa pauses once they're up there, and then clears his throat.]

Er. You can put me down now.

[my god he's just been carried this whole date, huh. He'll come back to the conversation in a moment.]

I was gonna so you can see! [ this is where I say minami puts himself down somewhere precariously but there's nothing up here but railing and he

does not trust that he won't immediately tip over.

down he goes though!

he's pouting a little but it's mostly for show because of that comment tsukasa said earlier. ]

[Honestly probably for the better. Tsukasa would probably tip over.

As it is, he does take a moment to steady himself, before he leans against the railing and tilts his head.

Up here, away from the butterflies, it's pretty nice actually.

A deep breath in... and he lets it out. Nice to be out and about, too, and not just to figure out show things.]

Oh, this view is perfect! Good call, Minami!

And the cameras can't follow us up here. [ this is one of those very spindly staircases where they limit x people up at the time + all that equipment really doesn't fit. ]

What do ya see? [ he comes over to the railing to join him after he straightens out his outfit because he likes to look good! also he's entwining their hands again but yeah that's no surprise. ]

Ah, that is true. I can't imagine they were filming us that seriously regardless. Any footage of me on a date is likely useless.

[It doesn't make for a good narrative at all! And doesn't... make him look like a good host, either...

... Uuuu...

He is so used to Minami holding his hand at this point he barely even clocks it, honestly.]

Don't think about it, Tsukasa...

Anyway! I'm just enjoying the view! It's very green, and you can even see the water from here.

[ just as keikaku is what i would say if minami even had some semblance of a plan and hasn't just followed his whims from the second they met. ]

Don't think about it, huh? Well do you want to know what I'm seeing?

[He is trying so hard to not think about how him being here on a date is kind of a waste of everyone's time as it is...!! Wasting footage, wasting the crew's time, wasting Minami's time a little too, even if he asked for this!

It's fine this is fine.

He blinks, shaking himself out of those thoughts to tilt his head at Minami.]

Hm? Something other than the greenery? [is it more bugs]

[ he absolutely did ask for this, do not blame yourself tsukasa.

anyway. no it's not bugs! it's—something that's been flitting around in his head since the last interview. which is annoying, because minami really doesn't do thinking on things, he just acts on them. and it's come up again, right here, right now for no particular reason but maybe that makes it the perfect time.

he tugs tsukasa a bit closer but moves in himself, standing up straight and going up on his toes a bit. red fixates on honey, his free hand cupping the other boy's cheek loosely. ]

You! [ is that warning enough because it's a miracle he says even that, and without an ounce of reservation he presses their lips together. a kiss that will absolutely linger if tsukasa doesn't crumple on the spot. ]

[so here's the deal

Minami has saved us from a lot of headaches just by shutting up Tsukasa and making sure he can't make noises or yell.

Given that his mouth is currently occupied. And that's... short-circuiting his brain a little bit.

But he's a star!!! A kiss should be nothing!! He... could've kissed tons of people on stage for his roles!

(He has not. Kissed anyone on stage. But. He could've!!)

Oooouugh thank goodness the cameramen didn't follow them up here. What if Saki saw this?!?!?!? That would be so embarrassing.]
