the best friends to more meme

There's nothing in this world quite like a true, blue best friend that you can rely on. They've been with you through thick and thin, good and bad. You want to have fun? They're the first person you look for, because they always know how to bring the best out in you. You need a shoulder to cry on? Don't worry, they're already here. You need to bury a body? ...you should probably reconsider your priorities, but you know your best friend will be there with a shovel and a smile. You'd never ruin this friendship for ANYTHING in the world. Something's brewing that may do just that, though. One of you has feelings, has for a long time, and that spells trouble. Unless you keep that to yourself and remain platonic, of course. Repression in this case might be a good thing. Only it's too late. The cat's out of the bag, whether it's by confession or by accident. What to do, what to do? If feelings aren't returned, can you turn down a friend, or will you force something that isn't there just to make them happy? If feelings are returned, will you risk changing the perfect thing you have? Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and which side you may want to play. IE, the one with feelings, etc. Also, mention if you'd like things to be more fluffy or more tragic. Respond to others. Assumed CR and AU it up if need be.

Saburouta Bandou | K | OTA

[chickshades]

[openmind]

[ It's been a long night of birthday partying, but after some struggling, Shouhei has managed to drag Bandou into bed. He's brushed his teeth with Shouhei's spare toothbrush, but he hasn't changed and is just laying on top of the bed in his usual set of clothes: jeans, a jacket, and a sweater.

He wonders if he's uncomfortable at all like this. He wouldn't be surprised if he's fast asleep already. ]

San-chan. [ He climbs onto the bed, reaching for his shoulders to try and turn him over on his back. ] Don't you want to change before falling asleep?

[chickshades]

[ The drinking and the excitement and the Shouhei being more touchy feely with him than usual... Bandou's not sure what happened but there's no way he's rolling over right now. Not with little Bandou suddenly just as awake as he is!

He answers, voice muffled against the pillow he's hiding his flushed face in. ]

I'm fine like this.

[openmind]

Are you sure? [ His voice is tinged with concern, but he knows better than to push Bandou. He'll get hit for it!

But.. the mischievous side of Shouhei does enjoy getting under the other boy's skin.

And he feels lonely, being the only one wide awake and restless. He tugs at his jacket in a need, sort of childish manner. He even whines: ] San-chaaaan. Are you really going to go to sleep so early?

[ He moves to drape himself over Bandou's frame, sideways so they're not perfectly aligned, but he moves up so that his mouth is near his ear. He blows... on it. ]

[chickshades]

[ Bandou was about to tell the idiot to stop crying out his name in that whiny annoying voice...but then the ear thing happened.

Bandou immediately bolts upright, rubbing at his ear and flushing even redder than he'd already been. ]

GAH!! D-damnit Shouhei don't do that!!

[openmind]

[ Shouhei is knocked off as a result, but he managed to push himself upright in time to avoid the brunt of the impact. With a laugh, he flops onto his back, tipping the brim of his hat up to regard Bandou with bright, glassy eyes. ]

Hahaha! That got you up! [ With a sock-clad foot, he lifts a leg and nudges Bandou with a toe. If he can reach him. ] Are San-chan's ears still ticklish?

[ His tone carries a genuine curious note, but the question suggests he knew about the weakness and deliberately exploited it. ]

[chickshades]

Obviously! I never should have told you that.

[ He rubs at his ear a few more times, trying to get that annoying tingling to stop. But he's definitely up now and suddenly looks all too uncomfortable. Quick, better turn the attention onto Shouhei. ]

And why are you bugging me about changing? You've still got your hat on too.

[ He leans down, tugging Shouhei's hat back down over his face. ]

[openmind]

Hah! I forgot... [ He quickly bats the other's hand away and lifts the bill up to stare up at him with wide, innocent eyes. With Bandou leaning in so close, he takes the opportunity to lift both of his legs, wrapping them around his waist to trap him down. ] Gotcha!

[ He lets out a jovial laugh, but it's weighted with exhaustion from the long night and... nervousness. It's a bold action, after all.

He grabs for the leather jacket, placing his hands over Bandou's broad shoulders as he tries to push the clothing down his arms. ]

[chickshades]

[ It takes a moment for Bandou to process what the fuck just happened. But the second it clicks, he's frantically trying to sit up and move away. This isn't easily accomplished with Shouhei's legs still wrapped about his waist, so he ends up staring down at his friend, arms propping him up on either side of Shouhei's head. ]

Shouhei, damnit cut it out! If you want me to get changed that bad, I can do it myself.
