(july catch-all) oh, the misery
Who ⬤ shin(ichi okazaki) and you??
What ⬤ honestly, a lot. drug buying, learning how to fire a gun, playing music solo for the first time, the wax museum, and probably more to be added. two closed prompts as well!
When ⬤ july!
Where ⬤ tamamo, sutoku and shuten territories.
Content Warnings ⬤ drugs, first and foremost, there's a bender in here. sex is a topic that comes up in the songs he'll play, and it's shin, so honestly, his cws might apply.

two moments.
three moments.
shin's wail might echo through the establishment, the biggest pout on his lips.)
Of course I don't!!! I don't like it!!!
no subject
[ lord, kid could rival barton in noisiness. he frowns, examining the gun further; it is, indeed, not jammed(tm). ]
Ah, I can teach you how to load it. [ presuming shin probably has a pack of bullets he purchased nearby. ] Or is this gonna be as fruitless as showing you how to use chopsticks—?
no subject
perceive the whine.)
Can't I just scream for you really loudly, and you'll just appear in two seconds and pull the trigger for me?
no subject
[ -- it abruptly occurs to barton that shin may, if he's able to purchase one, use this for illegal activities, not just self-defense. but honestly, looking at him hiding his face, he doesn't think him intimidating enough to actually believe that a credible possibility... ]
I'm gonna demonstrate... You're gonna have to use your brain [ he knows you have one, shin ] and try to learn.
no subject
(you're big!! and popo!!! don't talk like he's about to die, thank you very much?!
he even squeezes the other with all his strength, which means, it feels no stronger than a mosquito bite, before he lets go and crosses his arms, still Upset.)
Fine!!
no subject
[ he doesn't have a hard time imaging shinichi to be an easy target - which, frankly in barton's mind, necessitates further the importance him learning... ]
[ barton does as he'd said, narrating in the meanwhile: he loads just one round into the magazine, then he pushes it into place, eliciting a click. he pulls back the slide. he definitely plans on keeping the safety engaged for this little lesson, thanks. ]
Got it?
no subject
(he watches it, carefully, but there's no ease in his expression. chopsticks aside (it's called trauma), his fingers are good with repeated motion, years of guitar and bass playing earning him that.
he's tense once he opens his hand to ask for it back, a huge sigh leaving his lungs.)
no subject
[ barton unloads it. then he passes the gun - along with the bullet - to shin. ]
Now show me. [ he wants him to have it down!! ]
no subject
(did he legit just say he lives in shuten territory? basically so, but alas. it takes him a few tries, only out of inexperience, but once he learns the sequence, it becomes almost as easy as repeating a pattern on a dashboard.
and once that's done, he puts it back down, a shudder running through him.)
Ugh. Sure I can't just summon you?
no subject
[ constant vigilance, etc. ]
[ he picks the gun right back up again, offering it back to shin. ]
Show me how you hold it when you aim. If needed, I'll correct you.
no subject
(remember when shin's gotten those nice powers that make people feel good with his compliments? and get physical damage when he roasts them? it's the schrodinger's power, it's active and not active until the next tag, when it will be decided by how barton feels.
and with the biggest eyes, his act drops, because he pouts and whines....... again.)
I HAVEN'T AIMED YET!!!
no subject
[ otherwise, he does agree that he's fast and strong, thank you. as a result of shin's ability, he preens a little more than he might usually - the compliment actually garners a wide grin. ]
[ and what were you doin before, shin, just standing there... barton demonstrates how he would grip the gun, himself, and offers it over again. ]
Try!
no subject
(basically just standing there and dying internally.
fine, barton. this time, you will manage to teach the 'can nobody tell me nothing' child you stumbled across. he attempts it, at least, but barton can easily see that where shin's aiming is nowhere near the center. he doesn't want to hit the center.
it's the thigh.)
no subject
[ he's responding with that because it's true. ... at least the part about the chopsticks. ]
[ barton stares at where shinichi's bullet struck. he can't earnestly tell if that was done intentionally or not - he hadn't been watching from a close enough vantage point. ]
Not a bad hit! If you'd been aiming to kill, maybe you'd have hit the femoral artery. Would've disabled 'em, at least.
no subject
and there is where barton goes, and what shin isn't happy about.)
... I don't want to kill anyone or hurt anyone, though. At least, not myself. I don't care if you do it, but I don't have it in me.
no subject
it's not something barton immediately, outwards reacts to, expression remaining inscrutable - of course not everyone's cut out for it, much less something they're willing to risk. but shin surely had come here for a reason, beyond just affirming that he doesn't like using a gun, right...? ]
Then don't carry a firearm - least, not a loaded one. Anytime you take a shot, yeah, you're risking that. [ he huffs a sigh, arms folding over his chest. ] But, gun or not, I still think you should have something on you to defend yourself.
no subject
he's not magical like most people he's met, can't even catch a bird in their hands like everyone else. he might have gotten his own powers, but even if they can be destructive, is that something he really wants? to give some emotional damage is not the same as incapacitating someone, drawing blood.
the thought never ran through his mind, it never really had to.
it's hesitantly that he approaches barton, unsure if he should, if he can. even while he was hugging the other, it was comical, less personal. it's different from how he's just trying to lean on the other, silently asking for strength.)
no subject
barton is - notoriously, predictably - not fantastic at this type of thing. but then, shin's not precisely asking for much. it is frustrating in a way he can't articulate, having encountered so many over the years that just can't bring themselves, either mentally or physically, to violence, even if only in self-defense. but that's the duty of people like him, isn't it? ]
[ he lets the kid rest against him for a moment, and he's quiet until he eventually puts a hand over his shoulder. ]
You already know what I told you. [ in guaranteeing whether he'd be able to arrive anywhere in time or not. barton resists another sigh. ] But, fine. You can always just give me a ring.
no subject
(he doesn't really know what to say. he's really tipping his hand here. it's not an act as he puts up to others in exchange for protection, it's actual vulnerability that leaks through the action.
he doesn't even remember that he has a power when he speaks, honesty rather than an attempt at flattery to bring barton's mood up.)
... Thank you. You're a good one.
no subject
Ah ha ha, it's just my duty! Someone's gotta take it seriously!
[ he gives a little squeeze to shin's shoulder before letting his hand fall away. more lightheartedly, ]
We're gonna use up the rest of your ammo here, aren't we? [ -- even if it's, well. just him that does so. ]
