xp log: kippei, shinji, ohtori, shishido - double date

[shattermelt]

When Kippei had given Shinji Ohtori's number, he had figured they would end up seeing the kid sooner or later, since he certainly didn't like the idea of the two of them meeting up alone. Ohtori had mentioned ice cream, which sounded good enough to him, and Shinji would definitely go for that.

He hadn't really expected it to turn into this big thing that was practically a double date, with Shinji and Ohtori just being excited to go out for ice cream and him and Shishido kind of getting drug along for the ride by their respective boyfriends. Still, it did sound like fun even if it was going to be a bigger deal than he'd been planning on, so he didn't complain and merely promised himself to stick as close as possible to Shinji while they were out.

"Ready to go?" he asked Shinji when it was about time to go meet the others at the place Shinji had picked out.

Shinji tugged nervously on his shirt and tucked his hair behind his ear for the umpteenth time before looking up at Kippei. He was excited and nervous and thrilled and terrified and it was ice cream and Ohtori and Shishido and it had been a while. The last time he went to get ice cream with Ohtori....well, bad stuff happened.

"What if they don't like us anymore?"

Kippei just looked amused, and leaned down to kiss him. "Don't be silly. Of course they still like you." There was no reason for anyone ever to not like Shinji, Kippei was convinced. Himself, well, he thought Bolt was a little afraid of him and Shishido got annoyed with him pretty often so it wasn't like they exactly liked him, but he was pretty sure they didn't dislike him either. They were teammates of a sort, after all.

"We're Blue team," he reminded Shinji. "And Ohtori is definitely looking forward to seeing you." Had to stop thinking of him as Bolt, it was probably going to freak him out if anyone accidentally said it.

Shinji sighed, a little relieved because if Kippei said it then surely it was true? Right. He grabbed his wallet, shoved it in his pocket and grabbed Kippei's hand, pulling him out the door and quickly shutting it to make sure Kii didn't try to come too.

"It's only a few blocks, I think...I'm not very good at reading maps, but it only looked a few blocks away. We're not going to be late are we? What if we're late and they think we're not coming and they leave?" He walked quickly, brain churning and at least he was so caught up in his own thoughts he barely noticed anyone else's.

Kippei chuckled, holding Shinji's hand tightly and watching where they walked, making sure Shinji didn't trip over anything while he was so distracted.

"Don't worry," he assured Shinji, "we have plenty of time. It'll be fine." He rubbed his thumb comfortingly back and forth across the back of Shinji's hand. It only was a few blocks, and it would take them maybe five minutes to walk it.

Shinji started taking deep breaths, calming down because Kippei said it would be okay, so it would...right? Right. He relaxed enough that he could pick up vague trails of thought from most people in the area, but didn't get pulled away by them into their worlds, staying firmly in his because he was going to have ice cream with Shishido and Ohtori, and nothing could beat that. Well..as ice cream dates anyway.

Kippei held Shinji's hand tighter as he started calming down, reminding him that he was right there and not going anywhere.

Stay inside my head if you get freaked out, okay? He was just a little worried about this public excursion around so many people.

[ayretala.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine...don't worry about me. There's not so many." Little human heads so focussed on themselves he couldn't care less what they were thinking so it was easy to stay focussed on Kippei and the warm hand wrapped around his own. He kept looking ahead, waiting to see the ice cream parlour and Shishido and Ohtori, ridiculously excited. He hadn't seen anyone in ages, except Yuushi, but even that had been a short visit.

Kippei sighed and kept an eye on him anyway, watching for any signs of headache or stress. If it got to be too much for Shinji, Kippei was taking him home with no apologies.

He hoped that the others were waiting for them there, or this was going to be a short visit.

The electrical mutant had already picked out a nice, quiet spot outside the store with his lover. It had to be a bit of an evening event, since Ryou was nocturnal, and he was not going to cave in to someone else's requests if they lead to his lover being uncomfortable. (Save Blackguard's requests of course)He leaned against the fence around the tables, sitting beneath the umbrella and day dreaming about things most would call silly. He'd been somewhat surprised that Shinji had called him, after what happened the last time they'd been together.

[ayretala.livejournal.com]

Shinji spotted a familiar tall figure against the fence of the ice creamery he had chosen and smiled, squeezing Kippei's hand tighter as he plodded over and stopped right in front of Ohtori, looking up at him with a small, shy smile.

"Heya tall person."

[zapped-again.livejournal.com]

Grinning at the other boy as he approached, Ohtori tamped down the unnerving sense of something familiar but gone and beamed excitedly instead.

"I'm not that tall, Shinji."

[feathered-fiend.livejournal.com]

"You're taller than most." Shishido said with a grin as he returned to the table, he had been in the bathroom trying to adjust the image inducer around his wrist, Ohtori thought it was flickering so he went to prod at it until he was satisfied. Appearing to sprout wings in the middle of an ice cream parlour was never a good thing, especially since Shishido felt it was way too early for the whole 'Mutant! Get them!' type thing.

"Hey Shinji. You're looking good." And not blue, he silently added to himself as he moved to sit beside his lover, invisible wings brushing the back of his seat.

[shattermelt.livejournal.com]

Kippei nodded to Shishido as he came back, keeping hold of Shinji's hand and watching everything, smiling a little at Ohtori's obvious excitement.

"So are you," he said to Shishido, raising his eyebrows at the lack of wings. Usually Shishido wore a heavy coat to hide them, but not today...they just...weren't there.

[shishi-kitty.livejournal.com]

"Image inducer." Shishido said holding up his wrist that had the inducer on it as he noted what Tachibana was staring at, or rather not staring at. "Pretty weird huh?" He still couldn't get used to seeing himself without wings anymore, so it had to be extra weird to people that have never seen him without wings.

"Grab a seat so we can order, I'm starving and have been eyeing a sundae since we got here." He pointed at the small menu to the one he had been looking at before grinning at his boyfrined. It wasn't nearly as awkward being around his blue teammates as he thought it would be, which was a good thing. Maybe if this went alright and with no threats of bodily harm from Tachibana they could even do it again.

[momo-kun.livejournal.com]

Ohtori leaned closer with an easy smile and reached under the table to hold Shishido's free hand soothingly, his thumb rubbing the bumps of Ryou's knuckles. "A big Sundae."

He grinned again at Shinji, almost vibrating with excitement from seeing his old friend, even if their past together had some very rocky moments.

"This can be my treat today!"

[ayretala.livejournal.com]

Shinji was still staring, wide-eyed at Shishido, stunned. What was an image inducer? And did it really make Shishido's wings disappear? What was he now, without wings? Was he still a mutant? Was it like being cured? Watching Shishido like he might bite, Shinji leant across the table to whisper a little too loudly to Ohtori.

"Did his wings fall off?"

[momo-kun.livejournal.com]

"...no, it's sort of a magic watch that makes things look differently..." He smiled and reached over, stroking about where Ryou's wings would be with a slow, loving caress, minding that no one was watching him.

"It's just a disappearing act."

[flamesword.livejournal.com]

Kippei nodded, interested and a little relieved to hear that it was just a better way to hide. He'd been afraid it was something like a cure, too, and that just didn't sit well with him in any way.

"You look odd without them," he muttered, not really liking the idea of Shishido looking like a human.

[fic-faery.livejournal.com]

"Shit, Choutarou." Shishido gasped, his wings ruffling unseen behind him as a shudder ran through his body. Did his boyfriend have to do that in public? Especially when Tachibana and Shinji were just staring at him and making him blush lightly. And couldn't Tachibana go like five minutes without insulting someone?

"Yeah well get used to it. I ain't taking the inducer off." He grumped when he'd manage to inch his wings away from Choutarou's not so innocent touches. Making himself look less odd and ice cream wasn't worth the hassle of dealing with mutant haters right now.


ooc: Someone should have poked me to remind me about this. So sorry for the delay -___-

[flamesword.livejournal.com]

Kippei shrugged, not having meant it as an insult. It was just an observation, it was weird, seeing 'Wings' without his wings. Even if they were, apparently, still there. He looked away, since that apparently made Shishido uncomfortable, and looked around to see if they were bringing the ice cream yet. Too bad they were in public so he couldn't feed it to Shinji, or smear it on his body and lick it off of him. In Kippei's opinion this was the only right way to eat ice cream.

[ayretala.livejournal.com]

Shinji was still staring at Shishido, trying to figure out how he wasn't blind and yet his wings were gone. It really didn't make sense, and he wanted to reach out and see for himself, but he was suddenly distracted. He turned, wide-eyed to look at Kippei, his face turning a bright red at the thoughts. Ice cream? Being licked off him? By Kippei?

"Oh. My...God...KIPPEI!" Shinji gaped at him, about ready to die of embarrassment, when he realised Kippei was only thinking it and not actually saying. Somehow, that only made him feel a little bit better. "We can try it when we get home," he mumbled, sinking down in his chair and falling quiet. God, you just couldn't take some people anywhere.

[momo-kun.livejournal.com]

Ohtori smiled a bit and made a point not to touch Shishido's wings again. Honestly he couldn't help the fact his boyfriend was practicailly irresistable.

Hearing the mild shouting, he questioningly looked at the other two. He probably didn't want to know, but he had such a damning sense of curiousity. "So uhm- I guess we should go order, ne?"

[fic-faery.livejournal.com]

Shishido felt like he was missing a piece of the puzzle when Shinji yelled out, but he learned long ago it was best just to let things like that slide. "Ordering sounds good. Want to order for me?" Hey, if Ohtori was paying, he had no problem with asking him to order too. Saved him from having to worry about his wings getting touched by people accidentally as well. "I still want this one." He pointed out, leaning unecessarily close to his boyfriend to do so to show Ohtori that while he was ruffled, he wasn't upset with him or anything.

[momo-kun.livejournal.com]

Offering a quick nod and a smile, he glanced at the other two curiously. "And do you want me to order to, Shinji-kun, Tachibana-san?"

[flamesword.livejournal.com]

Kippei shrugged, looping his arm around Shinji's shoulders and smirking a little, still amused by Shinji's reaction. You can order mine.
