[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!

Comments

[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.]

[beneathmoonlight]

It’s so small...

[Atsushi’s eyes are alight with wonder as the mother deer emerges from a nearby bush and then starts licking her baby.]

That’s so cute...

[Atsushi is adorable when he’s fascinated with something.]

Too bad we can’t pet them.

[thesettingsun]

[But Atsushi's always adorable, this isn't new??]

The mom might think we were trying to hurt her baby. We should just consider ourselves lucky we got this close.

[Any second now the two of them could decide to get going.]

[beneathmoonlight]

You’re right. We should leave them be.

[He’s just insanely happy that he got to see something so special.

Eventually they’ll come upon a small river flowing through the forest, and Atsushi bends down to dip his fingers into the clear, cool water.]

It’s pretty...this entire forest is, actually.

[Oh look, there’s a small, pretty white flower growing by the riverside. Atsushi thinks of plucking it and putting it in Shuji’s hair, but that would end up killing it...]

Ah...I hope the river is okay, Shuji-kun.

[thesettingsun]

The river is fine.

[It's not like they'll be taking a swim in it. Shuji sits down by the riverside.]

The forest is pretty, but I've been looking at you for most of the walk.

[Incorrigible.]

[beneathmoonlight]

T-thank you...

[Oh boy, now he’s blushing again...]

Shuji-kun...um...I’ve never really...had a boyfriend or gone on a date before, so...I’m sorry if I seem kind of lost sometimes.

[He plops down next to Shuji and gently rests his head on his shoulder.]

I just want to be a good boyfriend for you.

[thesettingsun]

You have nothing to apologize for.

[Shuji wraps his arm around Atsushi.]

I didn't date you because I wanted some kind of Casanova. I'm dating you because I like you. You're sweet, and genuine, and I love spending time with you even if it's not 'the perfect date'. I don't even know what the perfect date is supposed to be.

I'm happy with you. If you're happy with me, then I think that's good enough.

[beneathmoonlight]

Shuji-kun...

[Atsushi is tearing up now, but they’re happy tears, and he nuzzles into Shuji’s chest, smiling up at him.]

I am happy. You’re so kind, Shuji-kun, and warm...

[He tilts his head up, looking like he might just want a kiss but being too shy to go for it...]

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji is less shy and has no self-control, not when it comes to his adorable boyfriend being close enough to kiss. He closes what little distance there is between them, giving Atsushi a soft, but long and lingering kiss on the lips.]

[beneathmoonlight]

[Atsushi squeaks when Shuji kisses him, even if he’d seen it coming. His first kiss, and it’s with someone he’s been crushing on for so long. What could possibly be better? Except he has no idea what to do, so he tries to mimic Shuji’s movements and reaches up to slide his fingers through that pretty red hair. Should he try to...use tongue...or is that too much...]

[thesettingsun]

[Tongue is a little much. Shuji's already pleased enough with the kiss and Atsushi's fingers in his hair - he hums, contented, before pulling an inch away.]

I could do this for hours. Just this.

[Nothing handsy, no clothes taken off, just sitting and kissing Atsushi while he plays with his hair.]

[beneathmoonlight]

Me too.

[They’ll have to head back before it gets dark of course, but for now Atsushi chases Shuji’s lips for another kiss, and then another, his fingers still toying with Shuji’s hair. It looks so flawless compared to his own...so is Shuji’s outfit...]

Shuji-kun...will you dress me up sometime?

[thesettingsun]

[Every kiss seems sweeter than the one before it. Is that even possible?]

Of course I will. I want you to feel as beautiful as you deserve.

[He threads his fingers in Atsushi's hair and kisses him once again.]

[beneathmoonlight]

Thank you.

[Atsushi eagerly kisses Shuji again before he feels something wet hit him square on the top of his head. When he glances up past the tops of the trees he sees storm clouds that have gathered overhead, and his expression immediately grows worried.]

Oh no...it looks like it’s going to pour any second...

[thesettingsun]

[Oops. Should've checked the weather forecast. With great effort, Shuji pulls away from Atsushi and stands up.]

Fun as it would be to see you in a wet T-shirt, we'd better head back.

[beneathmoonlight]

Y-yeah...

[Atsushi gets flustered at that comment, but they really should get going.

But he doesn’t want their date to end just yet...]

Where do you live, Shuji-kun?

[thesettingsun]

Birch Hills. Not far.

[Thank god, because he doesn't actually want to be stuck out in the rain too long.]

If your house is further away, you can stay in my apartment until the rain stops... I don't mind.

[beneathmoonlight]

I live there too, actually...

[But he doesn’t want their date to end just yet...]

Could I still come over?

[He stays close as they walk along, leaning into Shuji for warmth.]
