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.
[Quaint.... This is the sort of language that makes people want to punch you in the face, Tenshouin.
But Rei wanders over to the games - admittedly immediately letting himself stand in the shade of one of the booths, even as his eyes go over all the different assortments.
There's a little hum.]
Ah... I remember when Ritsu was small and would be excited about these - maybe I'll get him something and see if he'll smile all cute for his onii-chan again?
[stuffed animals will not solve your family problems, rei]
There's a moment where Rei just stares unimpressed - who's at fault for the fall, Eichi. WHO. (rei, at least partially, buT OTHERWISE) - before he shake his head and turns to the assortment of carnival games.
Then he'll go ahead and grab one of the guns used for the shooting range and
offer it to Eichi]
On the contrary, dictators first. Do you know which end fires or do you have Hasumi and Wataru pull each trigger for you?
[Eichi don't be a dick, Rei's got reason to be like this. He inspects the gun for a moment, contemplative, before he accepts it carefully.
He knows which end fires!!!!
But.
Well.]
I assure you, my treasures are more than capable of deciding such things for themselves; there is no need to stain their hands. [when there are other people he can manipulate instead??? c'mon rei] And Keito, though familiar with death, should not be the one delivering it to any but me.
[So you know.
No.
He inspects the gun a moment longer before eyeing the targets.]
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.]

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

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

[He snorts softly.
Stuffed animals will not solve your family problems, Rei. Though he gestures to the game anyway.]
Please, do be my guest.
[Also show him how this works because he's clueless.]
