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.]
[UST is hard when you probably still mid-key hate each other.
But such is the idol life and acting is still some important part of it.
That said, given the popularity of both of their units, Rei also doesn't doubt that people might watch this anyway. If anything, Rei's just less interested in the idea of losing to Eichi. Ever.
Backing down? No backing down. Rather, eating more churro and probably coming dangerously close to their lips touching but that's the point of the game, isn't it.
[He has been patiently lying in wait... he supposes it's his turn to end this, then? He's not super thrilled about it, but dragging it out would be even more annoying, he feels. The tension has existed and ramped up, and... Eichi's over this.
He wants to see more of the amusement park.
So as Rei pauses, Eichi just leans forward, completely disregarding the gay chicken to take the last of the churro--and pressing their lips together in the process.
Mostly, he feels it's gross to kiss while food is in both of their mouths; he doesn't linger, instead biting down on the churro and pulling back to finish chewing.
Mmm, sugar and cinnamon. He's gotta get more of these.]
This coming from a vampire who doesn't even like the taste of blood and has definitely sought it out before - that's still probably one of the grosser things that he's done. Yet the cameras are probably zooming in and that'll be a big scene that they run through production until it's satisfying and.
Rei licks his lips and sighs to himself.]
I wonder if I'll ever be able to burn that from my memory.
I'm surprised you can even utter that phrase without your tongue being stung.
[who's the real satan here
Still though, Rei is glancing around. It would appear that the crew is still trying to figure out the next task and... he knows that he has to be at least partially agreeable with this but.
Also:]
Shall we move?
[while no one's paying attention, time to make a quick getaway for a bit]
[tmw when you can't tell the difference between eichi and a locked up disney princess anymore
just kidding, Rei would never get the two mixed up. but he's amused and still pretty happy to play hooky anyway because screw the rules he's still part of the idol rebellion in his heart]
Lead the way.
[since you're the sheltered one
but this is also probably the fastest rei can move in the sunlight anyway]
[He's definitely the sheltered one here but he's also definitely excited about all of this. He heads in some winding circles, a cross-crossing path without ever stopping for long, until he finally settles.... not far from where they started.
Looking about as satisfied as the cat that got the cream.
Because now he knows their film crew will be looking all over the park for them.
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.]
Mm, I suppose there are still somehow worse fates....

You're super gross.
It's all super gross, but Eichi smiles, and kind of wishes he had more churro.]
I would suggest holy water, but I am afraid it would burn away more than simply your memory.
[since you're a demon and all.]

no subject
If Rei is suggesting they ditch the film crews...
Eichi is all for that.
He wants to see the amusement park without be dogged every step of the way. He wants to be where the people are.
So there's eagerness to his measured nod.]
Ah, I believe we shall. This way seemed very promising earlier. [Time to play hooky!!]
no subject
just kidding, Rei would never get the two mixed up. but he's amused and still pretty happy to play hooky anyway because screw the rules he's still part of the idol rebellion in his heart]

ANYWAY.]
Perhaps we could begin here...
[hmmm!!! Games!!]
What a quaint assortment of games.
