Day 305 : MISTLETOE BOT MINGLE
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!

Chapstick stations will be available.]

[He is bright red, but for once it's not because he has a nose bleed. Apparently he only gets those when girls make him panic about stuff like this and that can get added to the giant list of sexual confusion he already has going. Shit, wait, that's something else to freak out about 'cause the kissing thing is weird enough but it ain't fair to Nico gettin' stuck kissin' someone like... Well someone like him?]

Uh so we, uh, we gotta, oh shit.

	[Nico nods quickly. He doesn't want to kiss a boy. He likes boys. What if Kanji figures out he likes boys? Friendship over, right? It's a secret for a reason.] Sorry. We can make it real fast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[As for Kanji he doesn't really know what he likes. He thought he liked guys and even though he didn't like that about himself he accepted his Shadow and he was gettin' okay with that and he really liked Naoto and then she messed it all up when he found out she was a girl and not a guy but he still likes her and it makes everything really damn confusing and now these stupid robots are yelling at them and shoving them and he's got the same worries about ending their friendship that Nico does.]

You don't gotta say sorry. I'm the one who came chargin' over here. [Okay. Deep breath. He can totally do this.]

	It's okay. You didn't know. [It's not okay. Why does he ever leave his room? Gods, he's a nervous wreck. He shoves his hands in his pockets because they're shaking like crazy, and he wouldn't know what to do with them anyway. And of course Kanji is tall. He inches closer and rises up on his toes for the quickest most chaste kiss in the history of ever.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Kanji is aware of the height difference, too and bends down to make it easier, reaching out automatically and resting his hands on Nico's waist to help him balance. He feels big and clumsy and awkward and Nico must think he's the biggest idiot in the world. The kiss is over almost before he knows it, and he doesn't have time to make an impression one way or another except to realize it's the first time he's kissed a boy - that stupid thing with Teddy and the Kings Game does not count - and maybe under different circumstances he might have liked it.]

Um. That was... Sorry.

[Nico's too busy being terrified to think Kanji is anything but another boy who kissed him. The first. (He kissed Yuuri in that weird dream, but dreams don't count.) He'd already lost his first kiss earlier today to these things, and now this. It was shaping up to be a day of disappointing forced first experiences.]

It was fine... Don't worry about it...

[Now where was the confetti to mark the end of this so they could move on?]

[Kanji is just about the breathe a sigh of relief but before he can remove his hands and take a step back the stupid robot starts shrieking to kiss longer, kiss better just as the barrier scoots them closer, elaminating the awkward mile of space between them and mashing them awkwardly together. He can't even make words, just choked, inarticulate sounds in response to this terrifying new development.]

[This did not happen the other times! What the hell? He manages to work his hands free of his pockets so he feels a little less trapped, but that leaves him with the awkward question of where to put them. They wind up hovering on Kanji's arms. That's safe.]

I don't know why this is happening.

[So distressed. Longer? Better? What if he can't do better? They're going to die here.]

[Kanji makes another one of those strangled sounds, coming to entirely the wrong conclusion. This has gotta be him, right? The bots must know somehow, they're doing this on purpose because it's another guy. Because they think it's funny like everybody always does. It makes him feel guilty and sick and ashamed of himself and he wants to run away from it or punch it or something. Neither of those are real options thought.]

I think it's my fault. It's 'cause... Um... I'm, uh... That is... [He can't say it, can't do anything but stand there looking miserable while the robot keeps yelling at them. This, in his experience, is the part where he looses a friend.]

	[Because...? Nico frowns and looks up at him, and realizes he's probably been misinterpreting Kanji's reactions this whole time. Because, oh. He draws a shaky breath.] M-maybe it's both of us then. [Which is as close as he can get to a "me, too". He can't say it either. Has never been able to. Not yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Huh? Wait, what? It takes Kanji a second to get it and then he stares at Nico because holy shit, that changes things a lot. This is still weird and uncomfortable and he's still nervous but at least he doesn't feel like such a piece of crap about it anymore. He feels like they should probably talk about this but he's never good at that sort of thing and anyway they're still trapped here with the yelling robot. So he just swallows and nods, still looking pretty emotional as he tries the whole kissing thing again.

Hopefully the bots have kinda low standards for this 'cause he's never done it before but apparently that little peck the first time wasn't enough so he tries to make it more of an actual kiss. Or kisses, since apparently the pervy robots want that. They're a little light and hesitant in a way that's kind of sweet, coming from a guy as big and tough looking as he is. It's still weird but somehow knowing about each other makes it a little less uncomfortable. Under different circumstances it might even have been nice.]

[Well, now one more person knows, and the world hasn't ended. And maybe they'll still be able to talk to each other afterward. If this whole kissing thing doesn't make things horribly awkward. And it probably will. He can't see how it won't. It's already awkward.

He's on his toes again, using his hands on Kanji's arms for balance - though the barrier is at his back, so he won't have far to fall even if he does. He returns the kisses, carefully, and also hesitantly, following along. The thought that Kanji might be as new to this sort of thing as him takes the edge off his nerves some. It might have been nice.]

[The whole encounter ends with a shower of confetti which under any other circumstances Kanji would have found really cute. He lets go of Nico slowly, not wanting him to lose his balance with the barrier so suddenly gone. He's never been self-conscious of his height before. Is it always going to make kissing hard? Should he be worried about this? He runs a hand awkwardly through his hair, causing a little shower of confetti to rain down on the shoulders of his skull t-shirt. Quietly, in a tone very unlike his usual boisterous one he admits,]

I never actually told anybody before.

[Nico tucks his arms around himself as soon as he's released, shaking the bits of confetti out of his dark hair. The height thing goes both ways. It feels like everyone is taller, or bigger. Before today, he's never thought about that in terms of kissing someone. He's still hoping for a growth spurt. Oh, look, they have the same taste in T-shirts. He fixes his eyes on the skull on Kanji's shirt.]

I've told a few people. [And a few people found out.] I won't tell. About you, I mean.

[He laughs hollowly.] Don't worry about it. Anyone gives me shit, I'll kick their ass. [Its how he's always handed it.]

[He wishes he knew what to say next. That he's never met anybody else like this before - hey, Inaba's a small town okay? - or that he thinks it's really badass that he's told some other people about himself. He's not good at talking, or at least he's never thought he is.] Still friends, right?

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-09 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	[He smiles a bit. Kicking asses is all well and good - he can do that too. But he doesn't want to have to kick asses. He wants to not be rejected. He wants to go home, and belong there. He still feels weird, and awkward, and his lips are tingling a bit (when does that wear off?). But his head snaps up at the question.] Yeah. Of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Cool. [He shifts back and forth awkwardly, not sure what to say, then abruptly blurts out,] Remember what I said, 'bout goin' inside the TV and how you face your Shadow and it's the part of yourself you don't wanna admit is there? That's what mine was. And it wasn't some big revelation or anything but still. Sometimes accepting things is the easy part. Livin' with 'em's harder. But it's what I'm tryin' to do, 'cause I said I would. Guess that don't make a lotta sense, huh?

[Cool, so... Oh... He blinks, startled when Kanji dives into some kind of explanation. Not that he has to. Nico understands. But, okay. That's...that's fine. They can talk about this... He nods as Kanji mentions the TV and Shadow.]

No, it does. I think it makes sense. [He fidgets a bit. It's only fair to trade a story for a story...] I met Cupid on a quest. God of Love? [Just in case Kanji's world isn't familiar with Cupid.] He had something we needed, and ... he didn't want a fight. He wanted a confession. He wanted ... mine. For me to ... to admit how I felt. It wasn't something I was ready to do. For me, accepting it has been really hard.

	For real? Wow. Dude, you live a crazy life, you realize that, right? [He could elaborate and explain that his Shadow was some monster that looked like him running around a bathhouse in a towel yelling about dudes but that is a story he has every intention of taking to his grave because seriously. Come on.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nico smiles a bit at that. Yeah. He knows. Crazy doesn't really cover it.]</small> Say the guy who saves people by going into a TV? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stupidcuteshit 2015-01-12 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	Hah. Yeah. Guess you got a point there. [He runs a hand absently across his lips without really noticing it. The whole first kiss thing will probably sink in soon enough.] Anyway, sorry 'bout, you know. Everything. I didn't know it was gonna be such a crazy day. I was just tryin' to buy some yarn.

	You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault. [And ... it wasn't terrible.] I've been trying to avoid those things, but it's not easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think if I punched the robot I could probably break it. I'll try that next time. [Problem solving!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you think so? That would probably make a lot of people happy. [Him. It would make him happy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
