[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

You think that's it? I don't really want to be someone people can't talk to, though...

[Makes it better? Makes it worse??]

I'm surprised you're not swamped with admirers yourself.

[beneathmoonlight]

Really? But I’m -

[He’ll cut himself off there. No one wants to hear self-deprecating talk when they’re trying to enjoy themselves.]

You’re not hard to talk to, Shuji-kun, it’s just that you’re, um... [A deep breath.] Well, you’re really good-looking...and that can be intimidating sometimes...

[He smiles through his nerves.]

But you’re also really nice, and kind, and helpful. I always come to you for advice before anyone else.

[thesettingsun]

I'm glad I can help.

[And also glad that Atsushi still comes to him to talk, because Shuji isn't willing to be less good-looking, or less fashionable. That's too important to him for his own reasons.]

But you're really cute and I've never been too intimidated to talk to you, that doesn't sound right.

[beneathmoonlight]

I’m...c-cute?

[Watch him sputter and blush as he tries to hide behind his latte.]

S-Shuji-kun...um...the truth is that I wanted to tell you something today.

[He finally scoots his coffee away to look Shuji in the eye, a gleam of determination in his eyes despite the blush on cheeks.]

These...these aren’t platonic friend chocolates. They’re...romantic ones...

[thesettingsun]

[Oh.

Shuji's face goes bright, bright red, but for a moment his expression doesn't otherwise change.

Then he smiles wide.]

I like you too, Atsushi.

[beneathmoonlight]

R-Really?

[Oh no, Shuji looks so cute when he blushes...and that smile...]

Then do you...

[He blushes fiercely as he shifts in his seat.]

Do you wanna be my boyfriend?

[thesettingsun]

Yes! Yes I do!

[He jumps out of his seat so he can come around and hug the crap out Atsushi. You're getting squeezed now, deal with it.]

[beneathmoonlight]

[He doesn’t mind in the slightest, and returns the hug with just as much enthusiasm.]

I was worried because I thought maybe you liked someone else...

[He nuzzles into Shuji’s neck.]

I’ve never had a boyfriend before.

[thesettingsun]

[A couple hopeless crushes, but nothing serious. Not like Atsushi.]

I hope I'm a good enough boyfriend for you.

[Just saying it makes him giddy. Boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend.]

[beneathmoonlight]

Can we go on a date?

[Atsushi blurts out the question before immediately looking bashful.]

I mean, if you want to.

[thesettingsun]

I'd love to. Anywhere you want.

[It doesn't really matter where they go, he'd just want to spend the time with Atsushi.]

[beneathmoonlight]

What about the beach?

[Atsushi actually hasn’t had time to go there since he moved to Recolle.]

Do you like to swim?

[thesettingsun]

...I used to, but... Um, maybe not the beach.

[He feels really awkward about saying this, because he just said 'anywhere', but-]

I've gotten a couple of drowning-related memories and I just don't want to ruin our date with something like that, I'm so sorry.

[beneathmoonlight]

Drowning?

[That sounds so awful. Atsushi can’t even imagine.]

It’s okay, don’t be sorry! Um...what about the forest? Like a nature walk?

[thesettingsun]

A nature walk sounds perfect.

[Shuji's just glad he doesn't have to veto this one. Plus, it really does sound wonderful, walking through the forest with Atsushi, holding hands...]

[beneathmoonlight]

Then it’s a date!

[His first date ever, actually.]

Could we go right now?

[He’s already gathering his things. He’s so excited!]

[thesettingsun]

Sure, but I haven't finished all the Valentine's Day chocolates my boyfriend made me, so I'll be bringing that along.

[He can't waste them!!]

[beneathmoonlight]

I’m glad you like them.

[It’s not long before they end up at the entrance of the forest, and Atsushi musters up all the courage he has before taking Shuji’s hand in his own and intertwining their fingers.]

Your favorite flowers are peach blossoms, right? Maybe we’ll see some.

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji gently squeezes Atsushi's hand. He'd been about to take it if Atsushi hadn't beaten him to the punch.]

I don't know if they're in bloom now, but that'd be nice. Which flowers are your favorites?

[beneathmoonlight]

Sunflowers!

[Not the most exotic or beautiful flower, but certainly sunny and cheerful.

Atsushi starts down one of the trails, careful not to pull Shuji along and instead walk beside him.]

Maybe we’ll see some birds.

[A grin.]

Cardinals kind of remind me of you.

[thesettingsun]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[Shuji smiles with mischief dancing in his eyes.]

I'd ask what your absolute favorite bird is, but no matter what birds we find I'm sure you'll be much prettier than all of them.

[beneathmoonlight]

O-oh...thank you...

[He’s never thought of himself as pretty...but he can’t just brush off a compliment. That would be rude.]

Um...I really like hummingbirds...they’re really cute...

[thesettingsun]

They suit you. Bright and full of energy. But if you're like a hummingbird, then how do I lure Atsushis to my yard?

[Shuji just can't resist flirting with his boyfriend, it's impossible.]

[beneathmoonlight]

[Oh wow, now he’s blushing furiously, hiding his face behind his hand as he lets out a nervous little laugh.]

With sweets...

[Just like hummingbirds.

He walks along beside Shuji for a bit longer, and out of the corner of his eye he spots a flash of brown fur. Atsushi gasps before kneeling down low and whispering:]

Is that a deer?

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji crouches down with him.]

I think so... Maybe a fawn?

[It's kind of small for a deer. If it's a fawn, there should be other deer nearby, but he doesn't see any right now.]
