Let's build a Pillow Fort!!!

[starkxravingxmad]

Childhood. Sweet memories of days gone by, when the snow was magic and the summer lasted for forever. A spare aftrnoon didn't need much in the way of entertainment-- just a few pillows and blankets, an open room, and plenty of imagination were all you needed to make...

A Pillow Fort

The Deets:

-Post your characters-- you've just made your very own pillow fort! It can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. Your reasons are yours.

-Tag around-- visit other forts! They're more fun when you have a friend with you!

-Let people know what you're looking for. Is it a slumber party we're looking at, or a secret hide out where only the cool kids are allowed? What about the grown-ups, do you wanna surprise your loved one with a quirky picnic, or do you want an excuse to just chill?

-Most importantly-- Have fun!

Yosuke's honestly not sure where Teddie got the dumb idea to steal all the pillows and blankets around the house to make a pillow fort. How old was this guy? Five? ... Actually, that might be totally possible; considering how weird Teddie was in general, maybe the better question was where Yosuke got the dumb idea to let Teddie stay at his place. Either way, there is now a pillow fort- no, a pillow fortress sitting in the middle of the Hanamura living room with Teddie nowhere to be seen and Yosuke on the brink of tearing his hair out.

So at some point in the afternoon, Souji gets some frantic texts from Yosuke along the lines of 'dat dum bear!!!!!!!' and 'plz halp b4 im buried alive!!!'

The truth is that the poor boy's just despairing staring at the mess of blankets and pillows piled together into what might have been a pretty decent fort. If they were in the TV World. As it was, it just looked awkward and likely to fall on top of whoever was brave (or dumb) enough to crawl in. Or attempt to remove any part of the building. Yosuke had tried to pull the blankets off earlier but having the entire thing lean precariously towards him quickly shut down that plan. Please, oh please let his partner have a better idea of how to take this thing down before his parents got home.

... And yeah, he might have snapped a photo on his phone to keep on record, but no one needed to know that.

It's in the middle of a nice can of tea and read of Witch Detective (in which he'd finally mustered up the courage and diligence to resolve to finish it today) when the bombardment of texts make their way onto his phone. He waves them off dismissively at first, but after visibly cringing at what was on the next page (he's reached the climax he thinks, because the vampire is confessing undying love to the good detective) and he figures, maybe he really ought to read who was messaging him so persistently and why.

… What he reads comes as both surprising and unsurprising. Surprising in the way that Yosuke didn't have the foresight not to leave Teddie with his own devices and unsurprising in the way that it was, well, Yosuke. He ends up smiling wryly and gives his book a last not-so-forlorn glance, before folding a corner in a page. It could wait. Definitely.

So in about ten minutes time, after a reply of 'Give me a moment, I'll be there soon.' Souji will be standing in front of the other boy's door, going 'Knock, knock.' … Both literally, and on the door.

Yosuke meanwhile had been trying to pull blankets off of places that were clearly not part of the pillow fortress. Having Souji reply to his texts was reassuring though; if there was anyone that could help him it would definitely be partner. And, at least, if the fort ended up falling on top of both of them it wouldn't be as humiliating as it would have been if it was just Yosuke. That, or the fort would fall on top of Yosuke alone and Souji would have to dig him out. Still better than having to deal with it alone (and at least he could count on his partner to not go telling everyone embarrassing stories about him).

When he hears the knock at his door (on his door?), he let's go of the blanket he was trying to gently pull off to fly to the door. Being the boy that he was though, the teen ends up taking a couple of seconds to yank off his headphones before yanking the door open.

"Partner!" Yosuke reaches out to grab Souji's wrist and pulls him inside as he starts rambling as he does, "oh man, I can't even believe that Ted had the time to make this? But whatever you need to totally help me take it down before mom and dad come home and thanks for coming over by the way I don't even know how I can take this down, man, it's stupid."

Once they get to the living room proper, Souji can see that... There's a slightly lopsided (probably from Yosuke trying to pull it down) pillow fort using the couch and sofa as the base and built almost to the ceiling. Luckily for both boys, the items on top looked pretty light, but the rest of it... Blankets covered the sides of the fort, hiding pillows and cushions from view and Teddie had decided to use even the coffee table as part of the foundation; it looked like it was meant to be a walkway into the main gate. It looked like a fort that could take a beating.

"Look at this!" Yosuke cries as he sticks both arms out to point at it, "Who even does thismom's going to kill me."
