And you're still here.

(CALLING HER OUT, YES.)

[bratherine]

What? You want me to leave?

( Things which are far less cute when considered in the frame of later arguments: this. )

[mindthebass]

Never. ♥

(ah, she's getting a much less obnoxious kiss this time, a beaming smile as he watches the server come with their drinks.)

[bratherine]

( Ugh. You'll get sick of her eventually, Shin.

But for now, maybe she'll return that kiss, the mood of the festival carrying through everything and washing away those dark little thoughts which threaten to pop up. )

You're ridiculous.

[mindthebass]

(debatable and unlikely.

his fingers even curl the ends of her hair, the touch of lips broken from his smile.)

I know.

[bratherine]

( Hey-- )

Neesans'll kick your ass if you ruin my hair.

( :p )

[mindthebass]

Already pulling the plug on my plan?

( :) )

[bratherine]

( Oh there's a plan now, huh? She pulls back to take a drink from her fresh glass and hms in response. )

Depends if it's worth it.

( is getting your ass kicked worth the plan, Shin? )

[mindthebass]

You know it is.

(for kate? yeah. absolutely.)

[bratherine]

What is it, then?

( You're a weird one, Shin. Thinking such things. )

[mindthebass]

I told you it's worth your time and that I'd mess up your hair. You don't really need to ask, do you?

(LITTLE SHIT.)

[bratherine]

( Wow, the wooing. Overwhelming. )

... Football?

( Brat. )

[mindthebass]

Exactly, that's my expertise. I've been a football player for years, I'm great at it.

(not him holding off laughter.)

[bratherine]

( And she definitely isn't biting down a laugh, either. )

Then prove it.

[mindthebass]

Sorry, I left my resumé in my team uniform. ♥

(WHAT IS THIS CONVERSATION)

[bratherine]

( Fl...irting? We'll say flirting. Kate pouts, a strange and playful expression she wouldn't express were it not for the good mood seeping into every pore of this event. )

Weren't thinkin' ahead, were you?

[mindthebass]

Thought you didn't need to see it, since you know it personally, anyway.

(it's cute. this is cute. he's stretching a little, much like a cat would, before he rests his head on her shoulder.)

[bratherine]

( ... Oi. She looks over at his head, exhales, and does nothing about it. Like a particularly affectionate cat, he is. )

Guess you're right. No need t' try you out again.

[mindthebass]

See? God is on my side. She's a woman, after all. ♥

(HE'S GOING TO GET SHOVED, HE'S ALREADY GUARDING FOR IT.)

[bratherine]

( YES HE IS. GET OFF HER SHOULDER, DWEEB. )

Ugh.

[mindthebass]

(HE'S LAUGHING SO HARD HE'S CRYING. is this how it feels like to have friends your age???

... he likes it.)

[bratherine]

( Well, she's used to the getting drunk part of friends your own age. But the last ones she had... Well. They didn't laugh so much.

They didn't make everything feel as bright. Not so much "deliberately trying to embarrass" as they were "deliberately trying to get as fucked up as possible". )

Why're you like this?

[mindthebass]

(let him breathe first. allow his index fingers to wipe away the tears that pooled, and so grant him time to cease his laughter.

but he does tilt his head a little, unable to do the latter so well as a few chuckles still escape mid-sentence.)

What... hehe... do you mean? Like this what?

[bratherine]

... Always being nice.

( At least to her. )

[mindthebass]

... I'm not that nice, though. You're just used to worse.

(SHIN, BE NICE.)
