[ALRIGHT NOW HE'S LAYING IT ON A LITTLE THICK and he knows it, laughing at his own joke. oh god.]
Ah, they're making an old man like me wander about in the daylight hours... Fine, I suppose, it's time to instruct the young master on the wonders of life.
He just looks puzzled for a moment before he sighs and shakes his head and follows.
Okay, to the amusement park then.
Rei do you even want to look at the paper and see the full instructions...
But admittedly, once they get to the amusement park Eichi is a little starry eyed. Subtly, but...he is. He's never been to one properly as someone there to just enjoy the sights and the attractions.]
[Rei is probably hoping to god that he's supposed to just feed Eichi a churro or something - but let's be real he also wouldn't be surprised at the actual task.
he has an awful habit of knowing too much.
in comparison to Eichi, Rei is... tired. oh god he's so tired he's in the sun, he doesn't like this. he's growing paler than usual but at least he's not stumbling yet]
Mm, which way was it again...
[follow your nose, rei. just follow it to the churros.]
regardless Rei is going to take Eichi's arm, half being he likes making it look like Eichi's escorting him, half because he actually is tired out from the sun.
but it's alright, he's got enough energy left to spare for this task, he thinks.]
Hmm, some tomato juice and that churro would help more though. It was this way, you said...? Ah yes, I think I can smell it now.
Not that Eichi minds, of course. He'll go ahead and pleasantly order one churro, carry it off to a bench (in the shade, he's at least that kind), and hums.]
Very well. Now, simply a churro kiss, and the task will be done.
A churro kiss? I suppose considering the situation and the notion of bliss we're meant to follow, something sugary and warm is fitting. Ah, how youthful....
[what about that is
rei are you okay
anyway moving on. he'll go ahead and reach over to pull off a piece of churro so they're not trying to eat the whole fcking thing
he'd rather not spend an elongated amount of time staring into eichi's eyes]
Mm, here.
[an offered piece to eichi's mouth!! feeding is romantic or something, right]
Rei actually seems to take a moment where he considers doing Literally Anything Else before he sighs and shrugs.]
Mm, I suppose there are still somehow worse fates....
[Probably.
But sure, he'll play this somehow sweeter version of the Pocky Game, leaning in to take the other half of the churro into his mouth, slowly but surely working his way down. He is clearly just savoring the flavor.
... He may also be building the tension because you know - he's an idol.]
Eichi just quirks an eyebrow at Rei, challengingly; he's not going to talk with churro in his mouth, because that would be disgusting, but he does patiently allow Rei to ramp up the tension.
If there is any tension to be found. He's not sure.
Is this UST.... he doesn't feel it. Not when they're doing faux-cutesy things like this.]
no subject
modern idol warfare: sickening pet names.]
Oh? Perhaps I should try harder, then, sweetheart.
no subject
Do you think they're as sick of us as I am of you, baby?
[that's definitely going to need to be edited out]
no subject
Eichi is going to snag up the paper either way and scan it and...
...his brow furrows.]
A date I understand, but--
[...]
--What is a churro?
[pls help this poor privileged child.]
no subject

[that's not an answer rei
he walks out anyway]
no subject
He just looks puzzled for a moment before he sighs and shakes his head and follows.

[follow your nose, rei. just follow it to the churros.]
no subject
Hang tight, Rei.]
Ah, what a lively place.
[He loves it]
no subject
Well, he can't help but be gently amused.]
So even you can make an expression like that...? How nice.
[he might even mean it
somewhere beneath the teasing]
no subject
Eichi doesn't seem to take any offense to it, though. He just hums quietly under his breath.]
The world is full of wonderful, new experiences, after all.
[He's delighted.]
I imagine it is this way?
[When did Eichi even get that map.]
no subject
maybe.
regardless Rei is going to milk the opportunity while he has it and even as he glances over to check the map, he hums]
Hey, darling, give me your arm, will you?
[isn't this supposed to be a fanservice show or something]
no subject
Eichi doesn't miss a beat, though, because this is supposed to be fanservice, and he's not going to fail where Rei is succeeding.]
Oh? My, are you all right?
[You can have his arm, but he's going to pretend to be concerned in return.
(And maybe a little bit legitimately concerned because he doesn't think he could lug Rei back himself.)]
no subject
[he might be having fun actually.
regardless Rei is going to take Eichi's arm, half being he likes making it look like Eichi's escorting him, half because he actually is tired out from the sun.

Hmm, some tomato juice and that churro would help more though. It was this way, you said...? Ah yes, I think I can smell it now.
[that sweet super sugary and warm smell]
no subject
But Eichi nonetheless doesn't pull away his arm; he can be a proper idol when the situation calls for it.
Instead, he'll wander over to the stall that has a sign very prominently displaying churros and...
Pauses.
...???? What is it]
...Interesting. [No, he's confused and puzzled.]
no subject
Regardless he's going over to the stall and humming pleasantly.
Now to be quite honest:]
Would you mind ordering? Just a normal churro should do the trick.
[um rei married rich for a reason]
no subject
Not that Eichi minds, of course. He'll go ahead and pleasantly order one churro, carry it off to a bench (in the shade, he's at least that kind), and hums.]

Mm, here.
[an offered piece to eichi's mouth!! feeding is romantic or something, right]
no subject
[Just...lightly.
Ok Eichi.
But he does skeptically look at that before he just....takes the piece from Rei's hand with his own fingers.
That's unsanitary, Rei.]
no subject
ah.
he deflates a little bit.]
Mm, am I really stealing away the Emperor's first kiss? What a responsibility, to deal with such inexperience....
[he just assumed eichi didn't get it]
no subject
[Well, now he's just going to pop that churro piece into his mouth.
So deal with it.
Mm......... How sweet.]
This is delightful.
no subject
admittedly rei's just going to go ahead and take a bite out of the part that eichi's still holding because he wants a bite too.
they are but simple (haha) teenage boys
then after licking the sugar off his lips and humming, he's tilting his head]
I wonder what'll happen if we finish the churro before we kiss. Do we fail the task?
no subject
He purses his lips at that.]
I suppose we would have to get another, then.
[FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION he's a tenshouin, failure is not a thing]
no subject
Rei, completely unhelpful, is now going to lean over and take another chomp out of the churro
and when he's done chewing]
I don't know if I could quite stomach another.
no subject
His eyebrows draw together a little at that, and he pulls the churro away from Rei to instead place it between his lips.
Turns out Eichi knew precisely what's going on here.
Nah.
They're not failing.
Or he'll eat the rest of it himself, Rei's choice.]
no subject
Sure, that's fine.
Rei actually seems to take a moment where he considers doing Literally Anything Else before he sighs and shrugs.]
