teufelshund | superhell pcs: date

[ taking the glass back and setting it back up on the rock so he's free to slide an arm around date's waist. ]

Impossible. The light and refreshing quality of the ramune against the backdrop of those other flavor notes is exactly what makes it so perfect!

... See, that insistence is making me think they really messed something up when they didn't let you share flavours.

[ it feels pretty natural -- and nice, honestly -- to just lean into that hold. the warmth of the onsen's making him relaxed and boneless enough anyway. ]

Otherwise you just end up going in circles trying to prove why your weird and wonderful drink flavour actually tastes good. [ curry and bonito. sheesh. ]

Agreed.

[ slowly rubbing his side... this really is the body of a twink. ]

...Though I don't think I ever said a bad word about your curry drink. I'd try that in a heartbeat if I had the chance. Life is all about new and interesting experiences.

[ help. kaname date, he comes in two flavours: frat boy twink and (gestures at falco) that. ]

Curry and bonito can always be made, but… it’s not gonna be quite the same. [ he grabs the drink again, taking another sip with a look that seems like he’s thinking way too hard about this one simple action.

which makes sense, because as soon as he sets the drink down he’s turning his head to kiss mephisto. for science, obviously. the drink thing might’ve changed since five seconds ago. ]

[ i hope someday someone canon unfamiliar reads that and thinks date transforms into falco lombardi

it has not changed since five seconds ago, but mephisto is happy to go along with this anyway, slipping his tongue into date's mouth for a better taste, which is, of course, also for science.

he shifts his position a bit so that they're more fully facing each other, the hand at date's waist moving to his lower back. ]

[ he does. eric you know this. also the icon jumpscared me thanks.

it was very important for science, probably. if something had changed in the past five minutes, the world would have had to know.

as nothing has actually changed, well... he tried. and he's clearly not too bothered, as leans in closer as their positions are shifted and the arm slides further down his back. ]

[ if i have to live with that manga panel so does anyone who commits the sin of letting their character make out with him. also the naked bath icon that is probably going to show up here eventually. why did this manga keep happening.

anyway. the great thing about these number-nine kisses is that even if you're always stuck with the same flavor, they're always guaranteed to be delicious, so mephisto isn't in any hurry to break this up this even after scientific curiosity has been satisfied. when he finally does pull back, it's with a light sharp-fanged nip to date's lower lip. ]

Still ramune, but no complaints.

[ a little breathless between the kiss and the heat of the water, he nudges date's back, encouraging him onto his lap as he looks at him fondly. ]

Anything else you want me to taste?

[ me, closing my eyes: ]

[ for 27 volumes, yo. and listen, i'm playing date, by law i'm required to make questionable life choices at every step. ]

Shame.

[ he really does not look like he considers that to be a shame, at all. he lets himself be coaxed into mephisto's lap with barely any effort.

-- honestly i have a fade to black get out jail card in my hands do we want to use it and run. ]

[ yeah probably LMAO but after the tail thing because i think that part will be funny

SO LET'S FAST FORWARD TO THAT

modesty towels are off and cursed things are happening under the water and at some point date will just, like, feel something furry flick against his thigh. ]

[ tail…

well. that is something to drag his attention elsewhere — especially because, well. he’s not expecting it. so he startles slightly. ]

… What was that?

[ well the hair tuft at the end of his tail does not have nerves so he can't tell that happened, and barely looks up for a second from biting date's neck. ]

What was what?

This—?

[ well he’s not grabbing it like a child, with no sense of restraint at least. he has no idea what the heck he just felt, so there’s a little level of caution there.

but he does grab just below the little tuft at the end of his tail. fun. ]

[ thank you for your restraint, this could have been a lot worse!

but it's still enough to make mephisto freeze and emit a very uncharacteristic sound bordering on a yelp. ]

[ help.

he drops the mysterious Thing as soon as mephisto yelps. and then just looks at him.

hello? ]

[ exhales.

... ]

That's a sensitive spot, okay?

[ and not in a sexy way. ]

[ ….

he’s craning his neck slightly to try and get a better look. ]

…

Is that a tail?

[ ...sighs and lets it come into view with the end sticking out of the water. it's like a long lion tail that matches his hair. ]

Normally I'm able to hide it with my power, but obviously that isn't an option here.

[ ….. huh.

he kinda wants to grab it again, not gonna lie. but he’ll resist. it’s probably pretty obvious he’s having an internal battle with himself right now. ]

Obviously. Have you just been hiding it like a belt or something?

[ NO it's back under the water out of sight again. mostly. you can see it swishing around back there now if you look for it. ]

Pretty much. The same ridiculous trick one of my students sometimes uses. I usually wear enough layers that it's not noticeable, but... well.

[ sometimes you just have to get in an onsen and also fuck a guy you're temporarily in love with and then it gets tricky. ]

[ hehe. ]

… Right. [ there’s a distinct lack of clothing in the onsen, after all. ] No shape-shifting, no powers, no hiding tails— this place is kinda mean.

[ he sounds a little bit amused. wow. ]

It almost feels targeted!!

[ frustrated underwater tail flick in the background ]

[ this isn't helping him not laugh. ]

There, there?

[ he's got a hand at the nape of his neck now. ] It's almost like they had to nerf people's advantages and keep us on a similar scale, huh?

It seems that way. Some definitely benefit from that arrangement more than others.

[ still slightly sulky, but. ]

I'd say I was one of the unluckiest people here... if there weren't certain nice things to balance it out.

Yeah, well. It wouldn't be hell if it wasn't making things difficult. I don't think they'll listen to you if you put in a complaint either.

[ hmmm. ]

Can't have everyone rioting too much, can they?

I like that you're saying that following an afternoon of boat bombings and river rage.
