(july catch-all) oh, the misery

[mindthebass]

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.

... something that makes you happy, Shin. What kind of song makes you smile?

[ one arm snakes around shin's side, to rest there. as much as he wants to lean, he doesn't want to get in the way of the instrument or the lovely one playing it. ]

I'm not usually around people who can play, so. Surprise me.

[mindthebass]

A song that makes me happy? Mhm...

(he'll get to it, a little medley. his fingers are capable, and they slide across the board with ease as shin smiles, wondering whether robin knows any of these. all old, even from shin's perspective.)

[sweetsong]

[ robin listens. he watches. not just shin's fingers, but his face. he takes it all in and taps his foot to the beat of each, more or less entranced by shin's ability to play...

sadly, he doesn't recognize a single one. but they all sound good to him! ]

I like it! [ the vampire giggles. ] But that's what, a bunch of songs?

[mindthebass]

(good, because shin's face is nothing less than pure happiness as his fingers slide and press the strings. guitar's always been comfortable, like one of the rare pieces of him that have remained unchanged through it all.

god, that giggle, though. shin could honestly hear it all day. can he pull more out of robin? a kiss attack shall come later.)

Yes, it's a medley. They're from the 70's mostly, so they were still popular when I was... Born...

( :(((((( HE'S OLD.)

[sweetsong]

[ wow, the 70s! that was so long ago... at least, to robin. but that doesn't make shin old! not in the slightest! that's the best thing about their situations; it's not like shin will wake up one morning and suddenly just be older. right?

that'd be pretty unfair to robin, who again has eternity on his side. ]

Well, I'm glad you played them for me.

[ one hand around shin's waist now. ]

... guess that means I'll have to sing something else for you soon, huh!

[mindthebass]

( :) no)

Honestly? You could even record it for me, I'd put it as my ringtone.

(he super would. for someone who likes to play detached and casual, well, he's not that much. he feels that hand on his waist, feels the warmth it emanates against the fabric of his shirt, and shin sighs a little bit.

his lips meet the smooth skin of robin's cheek, but for as much as he'd love to pull the other to his lap, continue what they had at the festival, it's not really like him to force anything, much less with someone who's inexperienced and, well, innocent like this. he'll leave it to robin to decide what they do next, pulling back and playing some chords on his guitar, just to keep his hands occupied.)

I wonder... Is there a song about a Robin?

[sweetsong]

Hm... if there is, then I don't know it!

[ any songs about robins he surely would know? it would add to his portfolio of cuteness, his arsenal of adorableness. it would make him stronger and the world would surely take a knee to the pink haired, cotton candy songbird that he is?

but that's all he wants to do, physically. kisses. bumps, hugs. he'll even go as far to snuggle and cuddle him on this couch, as soon as that guitar is safely stowed away. that he doesn't want to accidentally break something?

he will, however, lean back into shin. ]

Could even make one up, if you wanted!

[mindthebass]

I'm not a good lyricist, though... My position in the band is the arrangements, and the English, because Nana definitely cannot speak it.

(does a pretty good job at using it in the songs, all things considered. with all the care in the world, he sets his guitar down, making sure it's well supported against the surface it's resting upon. shin's thin arms wrap around the older boy, face hiding against his neck.

why does he even smell sweet?)

What would you want your song to be about?

[sweetsong]

[ he smells sweet because of all the candy he eats, obviously! or it's because he likes to use a nice shampoo and conditioner, a body wash that matches those scents, and then spritzes himself with a little bit of perfume... ]

Oh, about bunnies. Rainbows. Lollipops.

[ he says these things like he's thought about this question before, and then robin giggles. ]

You know! The usual!

[ his hands drift down to shin's sides, giving them a squeeze. ]

[mindthebass]

I'll see what I can do!

(stop, he's going to have to snuggle against it. it smells nice, and it's warm, and it belongs to robin, and oh, dear lord.

the squeeze makes him jump slightly, the giggles that accompany it in good mood.)

Shh, you found my tickles... It's a secret...!

🎀

[sweetsong]

I won't tell anyone. I promise.

[ and he means it. he won't tell a soul. he loves shin too much! ]

And you can take your time! I'm not going anywhere.

[ he doesn't plan on leaving this hell for a long, long time. ]
