Well... yeah, they will. But I'll still come visit ya.

[The shop's nice. Nisaka... is okay? For all their first interaction was, Mika does kinda enjoy the other's company. He's easy to get along with, even if he's rude sometimes. Guys are just like that in Yumenosaki too.]

Just make sure ya get me good deals, okay~? I'll bring ya lunch in exchange.

[tepidity]

Don't bring me lunch. [ that'll just get the shop ladies gossiping! ] It's not like I'd be making much use of the discount anyway, so someone may as well take advanage of it. [ it's just practical, okay. ]

[allforshu]

[Even if he's rude sometimes........... Mika won't bring him lunch, but maybe he'll come by with candies when he's shopping and hand a few over.]

Thanks anyway, Nisa-kun~. You don't really seem the type, but you kinda look after others, huh?

[tepidity]

[ he arches a brow at the other.

utterly deadpan, ]

What are you saying? I don't seem friendly?

[allforshu]

Not a bit!

[Obviously.]

But~, even when you're not drinkin' ya tell me I shouldn't sell myself short and yer lettin' me use an employee discount, so I can't help but think so~. Sort of like a sour candy with a sweet inside.

[tepidity]

[ he just shakes his head. ]

If I'm going go be compared to a candy, I think I'd rather be a jawbreaker.

[allforshu]

Nn? Are ya long lastin'?

[That's what that means, right.]

[tepidity]

[ his smile is sharp. ]

I'm hard to swallow.

[ ... not. not in the dirty way okay. ]

[allforshu]

But yer easy to suck on..?

[this is a disaster]

1/3 LFMSKMDLS I CANT

[tepidity]

[ ................... ]

2/3

[tepidity]

[ !!!!!! ]

3/3

[tepidity]

...I take it back. I don't want to be anything.

[allforshu]

I guess jawbreakers are kinda fun if y'want a candy that lasts a while... And they're sorta a mouthful, but that ain't too bad. They fill ya up pretty well too. I like to have 'em on jobs so I don't have t'eat anything.

[-- what oh]

What changed yer mind, Nisa-kun?

[tepidity]

[ quietly staring into the abyss ]

...Nothing. I guess I don't have much of a sweet tooth.

[allforshu]

[nisaka plays himself pt2]

Maybe yer like a durian then..? Not a lot of people can stand it, but there's others that think it's got a nice smell an' taste~.

[tepidity]

[ sobs ]

An acquired taste... Sounds right, I guess.

[ oh, so they'd been walking through the alleyways again, but now nisaka is a little lost again. ]

Do we take a left here or...?

[allforshu]

[uh

oh

um

Hold on, he's spinning around and staring back the way they came, stepping backwards as if literally retracing their steps and pausing.]

... Eheheh~.

[the sound of someone who has not a single idea.]

I'm sure it'll work out~. Let's go straight an' see what happens!

[note: the correct answer is not straight.]

[tepidity]

[ ha ha straight....






anyway. nisaka looks Dubious, but mika's been pretty good with directions up until then so he doesn't really have any reason to doubt the other boy.

apart from gut instinct, that is. ]

Alright... Just remember you're the one with heavier bags here.

[ if anyone's going to suffer from any misdirection, it's you, bud. ]

[allforshu]

Nn, I know that! I ain't gonna make a twig like you hold heavy stuff!

[It doesn't seem like it, but he does have a surprising amount of strength... doing part-time jobs on campus helps with muscle, not to mention the dancer stamina he gets from being an idol.]

I'm sure it's this way... So don't worry about it~.

[tepidity]

Twig...

[ he glances down at himself. he's a growing boy okay... excuse u... ]

Fine fine. After you, then.

[allforshu]

[Good boy!! Listen to Mika-nii, who will definitely be leading... alleyways all look the same, but this path has a few hole in the wall shops..? They're the shady kind.]

Mm... I haven't eaten yet, but even if these are Valkyrie's aesthetic, I don't know if there's one of these that're safe to eat at...

[tepidity]

[ drawing the line at mika-nii..! senpai is all you're getting, sir. hmph hmph.

but ah, nisaka's Dubious look only continues as they pass a few of those shops... some of them seem to be selling some things of the questionable variety. ]

I don't know if you really want to be eating something from an alley...

[ there are some shops that have some people lingering about outside, eyeing both boys not all that kindly. quietly, nisaka shifts a little closer to mika, placing himself in between them, their bags rustling. ]

[allforshu]

They're usually not that well-known, so they're good places for people like me... Naru-chan and I have something like that we go to together too.

[Mika doesn't like their looks either and keeps his eyes firmly to the ground ahead, head ducking slightly. Small, small... Quiet, quiet.]

But I don't think this is the sort of place Oshi-san'd like, either..~ It's got the same sorta people that're in the underground live area.

[Which Mika is used to, disorder and drunks, but that doesn't mean he likes it. The alleyway feels a lot tighter than it is as they continue, and it seems they're getting more into the city than out to where their destination actually is.]

[tepidity]

Shh, [ nisaka whispers under his breath, watching as some of the people take more of an interest to them than he would have liked. as the path gets narrower and narrower, he's starting to feel a little less sure of this route. ]

Maybe we should head back the other way...

[ he stops walking, frowning as a man dislodges himself from a doorway to approach them. ]

Hey, kids. What brings you down this way?

[allforshu]

[Caught--! Mika hunches closer to Nisaka, shuffling a bag further up his arm to take the other's sleeve tightly. He tries to keep his voice light, but it is exactly these kinds of guys that put Mika on edge about the in the first place.]

Just... Just took a wrong turn, maybe~. We were just leavin'~.

[So he's gonna... tug Nisaka's sleeve and try to do just that...]
