... 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. ]
[ 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. ]
[ 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. ]
[ 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. ]
[ 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. ]
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?

Anything else you want me to taste?
[ me, closing my eyes: ]

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. ]

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

but it's still enough to make mephisto freeze and emit a very uncharacteristic sound bordering on a yelp. ]
no subject
he drops the mysterious Thing as soon as mephisto yelps. and then just looks at him.

That's a sensitive spot, okay?
[ and not in a sexy way. ]
no subject
he’s craning his neck slightly to try and get a better look. ]
…
Is that a tail?

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

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. ]
no subject
… 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. ]
no subject
[ frustrated underwater tail flick in the background ]

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?

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