[masakados]

Who: Naoki (masakados) & Yang (flaredo)
When: IC: 11/28, OOC: 3/06, forward-dated!
Where: a nice empty lot
What: idk some demons and some legs and stuff like that
Rating/Warning: None?!

[Naoki's starting to learn a few things about Yang the longer that he spends time with her. One of these things is that she seems to remember well even the things he thinks she says completely jokingly-- like how they talked about coaxing bellyrubs from one of his demons. How she's going to do that, he's not sure, but hey, there can't be any harm in letting her give it a shot if she's even a bit serious. Especially since he's here in case Yurlungur gets any ideas of trying to eat any magatsuhi.

Tearing his curious gaze away from the outfit she's switched to today, he props his hand on his hip.]

Since you dressed up and all, I could let you try it out. Buuuut, it's not too late to call it off either. [And they can get on to training! He looks again at her clothes, secretly admiring (where he's sure Yurlungur won't). It's different and fresh and er anyway back on track he's completely focused on the topic on hand.]

Comments

[flaredo]

Yep.

[ And to her chagrin, she can't widen the gap between them. No matter how fast she moves, he's always just right behind her.

Well, they should be there soon... a shame, this was fun. ]

[masakados]

Well, lemme show off right at the end, then--

[And he's going to move to bridge that gap between them... but not using wind this time. No, this one's all him, straining to catch up just that bit, maybe pass her...]

[flaredo]

[ He'll catch up, and Yang glances at him-- right as she leaps off the roof.

WHO WILL LAND FIRST? ]

[masakados]

[Yang might just do that first--

Just because he got distracted by the way she glanced over at him, so he misses a good kick off the edge of the roof. He's inwardly cursing at himself but he's still got a chance...!]

[flaredo]

[ Wow, Naoki, so easily distracted-- it had taken some proximity to Yata to get him to lower his guard (out of flustered terror), but she's grinning now as she lands and takes off. The residential district's just up ahead-- she can do this. ]

[masakados]

[Shush, it was just for a instant.

His eyes narrow, his hand catching him as he lands (and helping him to push off after her), but he's certainly not going to give up now. She wouldn't want him to either, he bets.]

[flaredo]

[ He bets right. It's no fun if the competition gives up, even if she's got the lead right now. But if she knows Naoki at all, she also knows that he's not going to let her keep it so easily. ]

[masakados]

[Of course he's not! She might be speedier when it comes down to it, but he's still got power and doesn't hesitate to use it to push himself forward after her, his eyes fixed on her.

They're getting close, down to the wire even--]

[flaredo]

[ And in the last few seconds, he'll overtake her. Maybe she's still tired (she is), but that shouldn't be enough to slow her down. In this case, Naoki's still got additional power on his side, and that's what grants him the victory. ]

Ah--!

[masakados]

[Naoki ends up going a bit too far ahead, still thinking he's racing before he hears that sound and skids to a stop. Bounce bounce bounce and he catches himself, turning to look with bewilderment back at her.

...Did he win?]

[flaredo]

[ Considering she's straightening up and regarding him ruefully-- ]

... I guess I owe you a favor.

[masakados]

I thought I was gonna lose for sure, [muttered, under his breath, but he walks back to her, his breaths out of order, his hair sticking up weird in a few places. Thanks to the wind from before.]

That was the deal, huh.

[flaredo]

Yep, and I'll keep my end of it. [ But first, she's going to reach up and fuss with his hair, smiling crookedly. ] So what do you want?

[masakados]

[Naoki's head bows slightly as his hair is fussed like no what is this... He doesn't make a struggle or try to pull away though.]

Do I have to decide on what I want right away?

[flaredo]

Mm... I'll give you a week, but you have to let me know before that, or it's null and void!

[ Yeah, sure. But once his hair's a little neater, she'll let him straighten. ]

[masakados]

A time limit? [He peers at her.]

I wouldn't have given you a time limit if you won, y'know... [Cursessss but he'll think of something in a week, at least.]

[flaredo]

I would have thought of something before the day was up.

[ so there. ]

[masakados]

...

[Point taken.] All right, all right. I'll get back to you before a week's up.

[flaredo]

Make sure you don't forget!

[ Because she won't remind him. But... ]

So, whose place is closer here?

[masakados]

[He just flaps a hand. HE WON'T FORGET and, even if he did, he's pretty sure that Yang would contact him just before his time was up.]

You've got me there.

But, I'll walk with you back to yours. That cool?

[flaredo]

Sure! A cute escort for a block, who could complain?

[ NOT YANG. ]

[masakados]

I'll do my best for this whole block.

[He's getting used to this cute thing and once he's stopped trying to deny it... it feels kinda ticklish when she says it.]

[flaredo]

[ Ticklish... this is why you're cute, Naoki!! ]

Then let's hop to it!

[ Peppy and energetic or not, she still needs a nap. ]

[masakados]

[Leave him and his cuteness alone already jeez!!]

Okay, I'm hopping.

[He'll start walking when she does; hey, she needs to lead the way.]

[flaredo]

[ She'll take the lead! ]

... And to think, you would've missed out on all this excitement if I hadn't persuaded you to train with me.
