6/12: Eichi, Akechi

[randori]

[ 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. ]

Penalty, penalty~!

[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. ♪

[randori]

[ This is exactly what sleepovers are, yes. And Natsuo's glad he got to experience one like this, letting go when Eichi decides it's time to have mercy, and hopping back to sit on the bed. ]

Yeah! Let's keep playing so we can have more penalties!!

[doublecrows]

[Akechi breathes out a deep sigh when they finally release him, but he just looks like a bird with extremely ruffled feathers, now]

May I give my turn to one of you?

[stop being a killjoy Akechi!]

[finethanks]

That wouldn't be very fun at all. Wouldn't that mean you have more of a chance to become sandwiched again, Akechi-kun?

[randori]

[ It would mean that, and that is more fun, so Natsuo comes to Akechi's defense. ]

Let me! I'll take your turn! Akechi, dare or truth?!

[doublecrows]

[this night keeps going NOT AS PLANNED for poor Akechi. but he's here now, he was just squished in a group hug, so really, what dignity does he have left?]

. . . truth again.

[not a daredevil, this one]

[finethanks]

He hasn't learned his lesson, despite everything. What will you ask him, Natsuo-kun?

[randori]

Akechi! How come you don't like physical contact?!

[ 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...? ]

[doublecrows]

[UUUUUUUGH WHAT THE FUCK]

I believe that's cheating. Ask a different question, Natsuo-san.

[finethanks]

The only cheater here is Akechi-kun.

[randori]

No, no, it's okay, Eichi. I know it's cheating. So, [ opens his arms wide ] I will take the penalty.
