6/12: Eichi, Akechi
[ It's cold. It's super super cold... For as excited as Natsuo was to have the castle grounds open up, he immediately retreats back inside and refuses to acknowledge snow so early in the year. Snow is Christmas and winter break and happiness and New Years and... honestly, his last new years was spend sitting in his living room alone, eating a cup ramen in front of the television while both his parents left on a cruise without him.
Lonely!!!
But not this time— He's not going to let snow bring him down every time he sees it, and he's not going to spend his time all alone either. Late Tuesday, there's a muffled series of thumps on Eichi's and Akechi's door- ]
Open up! Open up!!
[ The muffled thumping is Natsuo kicking at the door and he's dragged his entire heavy red velvet bed sheets along with him, thrown over his head like a hood and cloak.
Did he even tell them he was coming? Doesn't matter; these are courtesy knocks and the doors don't have locks. ]

It's not 'cause of me, is it?!
[ The whole... almost killing him every time they meet, thing. I'd be scared too. ]
no subject
As I said before, I simply appreciate my personal space. Is that really so bad?
no subject
[While he's saying all this he does reach over to pat Natsuo... on the knee this time, thankfully.]
no subject
Is it 'cause you're scared of getting hurt? We're all friends here, do you don't have to be.
[ until trial day. then be very scared. ]
no subject
You're both looking too deeply into it. It's nothing so serious, I assure you.
[yes it is]

Natsuo gets up and walk around to stand on the opposite side of Akechi, arms outstretched to either side of him. It's a Group Hug, and there's no escape. ]
no subject
Natsuo-san, I'd rather not!
[he's trying to escape. stop him]
no subject
[That, of course, means he's grabbing his wrist with that powerful grip before he goes in for the group hug as well. Make it a good squeeze!!]
no subject
[ Akechi had his chance to tell the truth, but it's too late for him now. Natsuo intends this to be a group hug, and that means his arms have got to wrap around both Akechi and Eichi, and his short stature means Akechi needs to be sandwiched in really really really tight in between them.
Enjoy your spine-breaking hug. ]
no subject
[enjoy the strangled and extremely embarrassed noise he makes as soon as he finds himself squished between the both of him. WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE THIS!]
no subject
[Eichi is full on giggling. This is what sleepovers are, right?! He better enjoy that squish for a good long time before Eichi finally pulls back to signal its end.]
In the end, that turned out much better than a truthful response. ♪
no subject
Yeah! Let's keep playing so we can have more penalties!!
no subject
May I give my turn to one of you?
[stop being a killjoy Akechi!]
no subject
no subject
Let me! I'll take your turn! Akechi, dare or truth?!
no subject
. . . truth again.
[not a daredevil, this one]

[ TRUTH IS A MISTAKE, AKECHI
Natsuo will just press him with the same question every time it's his turn, because either way, he'll get an answer or a hug and it's win-win. Which fate is worse...? ]
no subject
I believe that's cheating. Ask a different question, Natsuo-san.
