Bromantic Romance

Despite popular conjecture, romance doesn't have to be overwrought or over the top like a Shakespearean tragedy or a terrible Nicholas Sparks novel. Sure, there needs to be some intimacy to make it, well, romantic, but there are plenty of relationships that blur the lines between "friendship" and "relationship" in every way they can. In fact, your romantic partnership is just like that. It feels like you're dating your best friend, really, and in most cases, isn't that the best, most healthy thing? You're completely comfortable around them, and you never have to worry about being at odds - most of the time. You hang out, you bro out, you do things you both enjoy. And sometimes, you can even kiss or make out. How awesome is that? Maybe you were friends first and this is just a natural outgrowth of what you started, or you could prefer all relationships to be more bromances.

Of course, throwing a twinge of romantic love or sexual attraction into the mix and even the best friendships can get...complicated. If anyone can beat the odds, though, it's you guys!

We're rooting for you.

[Cain is the type not to go for romance right off the bat, anyway. Hopefully your muse doesn't mind a partner who likes to (attempt to) get drunk and play video games with them all night. The line between romance and friendship can be super blurry. Cain is female-bodied but prefers male pronouns. However, I have no preference as to how you address them in-narrative.]

[SOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yosuke works at a store where he could concievably sneak out alcohol

which I realize would be kind of pointless because isn't Cain old enough to BUY ALCOHOL?

But it would be a cute gesture, right? XD]

[Insert Cain berating him for making a stupid risk over something that, yes, Cain can buy on their own.

[Would be a cute gesture, though. After Cain gets over it. Probably all the flat stares while they enjoy what he brought.]

[Okay. He's totally going to do that. Any other particular requests? :D]

[Not that I can think of. <3]

[Okay!! <3 ]

Yosuke knew, somewhere in his mind, that Cain was actually old enough to purchase alcohol. It was a fact, after all, and while her age relative to his wasn't something the pair of them brought up too often, it was at least something mentioned in passing often enough that he might remember it at important times.

Times such as when he decided to smuggle two bottles of wine out of the store that his parents managed and that he still, occasionally, worked at to get a bit of extra money.

It's not like he stole them or anything. He actually had paid for them and made sure everything balanced out. He was at least that with it, even if he was doing what he was doing purely to impress someone.

He'd picked up some food along the way, too, and it was with those things in hand that he knocked on the door of Cain's place. "Y'home?"

Today, Cain was intending on minding her own business with tidying up her home. It had gotten a little messy of late, especially after she'd picked up some part-time work as a janitor at a certain hospital.

"Door's open! Just let yerself in!"

Cain's voice was a little higher pitched than normal, and Yosuke would see why.

Standing in the living room with a bunch of rags, was Cain. A Cain with a very dragon-like appearance, horns, wings, and all, whose clothing had taken on very... unique traits.

They were tentacles. A bunch of tentacles that she was using like extra hands in order to reach the ceiling fan without having to stand on a chair. Her tail swayed to and fro to help her maintain her balance while she was occupied.

Of course, she was only visible from behind at the moment, her blue scales gleaming slightly as she worked. Her wings shifted idly, assisting with her balance while her head was craned back to focus on what was before her.

Yosuke did let himself in and....

....

...He just...

...looked at her for a moment. And blinked. They weren't in the Midnight Channel so she obviously wasn't a shadow, and really, if she were, she would have just attacked him on sight, so it wasn't like he was worried. Well, she always said she had secrets, and this was just one of them.

And to his credit, he composed himself very, very quickly before she turned around and said, in a completely and totally normal voice, "Hey, brought you somethin'"

"Oh?"

Disentangling her limbs from the blades of the fan, Cain turned around, gold eyes looking at him inquisitively (though the color was not unlike that of a Shadow's.) Noticing the wine, her brow furrowed.

Of course, from up front, it was hard to miss the fact that Cain's body shape had, well, changed, at the chest. Scales hid the lower halves of her breasts from view, but there was no mistaking the increased amount of cleavage.

Longer, whiter hair and all, it was still Cain. The shape of her face was the same, and the look of her eyes - irises excluded.

Although she wasn't wearing glasses like this, either, and seemed to be able to see him just fine.

"Nnnnnot.... to look a gift horse in the mouth, because I can appreciate the sentiment behind it.... but."

Her expression soured.

"Isn't it illegal for you to have gotten that?"

It was most definitely Cain. And really, Yosuke wasn't tense at all because again, if it were something dangerous, it would have been, well, dangerous. But. He saw the look in her eyes.

Which is why he let his eyes take in the sight of the rest of her body. Appreciatively, in the case of her chest, and curiously, in the case of everything else.

He grinned.

And then she pointed out the alcohol.

"Uh."

Technically, yes.

"I mean, you know, technically I'm reallocating...stock...? I did pay for it though!"

That "uh" was more than enough of a response. Sighing, Cain stepped closer and poked him in the cheek.

"Moron. You know I can buy this myself? Legally?"

The many limbs lowering, they placed the many rags into her hands as they began to form more scales on her body, covering up her chest just the slightest bit more. In the next blink and a small shimmer of light, Cain was Cain again, and not that dragon-thing.

Still, didn't erase the fact that she'd been only wearing a super long shirt, calf-high socks and boxers. Was still wearing those and nothing else

"Wait until you're old enough next time, alright? Seriously. I don't want you getting into trouble for something like this."

Cain didn't even particularly love wine. It wasn't something that she'd normally buy, either.

Not that she'd snub her nose at it. A gift was a gift.

Yosuke just watched the transformation in a bit of awe. So much so that he just nodded at her, dumbstruck. "Uh. Yeah. Gotcha." he said. Eloquence, thy name is apparently not Yosuke Hanamura.

Though in all fairness, he was just as eager to stare at her legs as he was to stare at her tentacular dragon form.

Priorities. He has them.

Though he did say, after a moment, "You know.. I've never actually seen you do that before. I mean, you mentioned it once or twice, I think..."

Why yes Yosuke, her legs are definitely smooth and bared from mid-thigh down to her upper calves, thank you for noticing!

"Ah, yeah, I did mention it. So... yeah, that's my god form."

Grimacing, she rubbed the back of her head, and then squinted slightly. She was still without her glasses.

"I can, um, break through things like cars as if they're made of warm butter. Knocked a twenty-story building down, too. It was an accident! But it also... kind of collapsed like a failed jenga move.

"And um, I can take that form whenever I want these days. It's not as taxing now that I've adjusted to it."

He did notice. A lot. Just like he always loved touching them, whether they were actively...doing anything, or just laying there on the couch playing games.

As he saw her squint, he looked around for her glasses. Seeing them, he picked them up and handed them to her. "Here y'go." he said.

Though, her description made him blink. "A whole uh. Building? Wow, that's....actually really impressive!" Far from being freaked out, he was thinking, at this point, that it was really cool that she could do that.

"And, er. I mean. Pretty hot, too."

"But it was still colla..."

Huh?

...Oh. Oh.

Taking a moment to put her glasses back on and situate them, she quirked an eyebrow at him, lips curving in amusement.

"Hmmm~? You liked something about the destruction? Really?"

For now, she allowed the change of topic, finding it much more interesting. All the same, she wandered closer, grazing her fingertips against his hand so she could take one of the bottles from him. Lighten his load.

"I mean, as impressive as it can be, that kind of accident could have gone bad."

He grinned, letting her take the bottle. "I mean, uh." It wasn't so much the destruction. Well, it kind of was, because that was very much not boring, as long as no one actually got hurt in the collapse.

But also, there was...

"Yeah, I mean, as long as no one got hurt, being able to knock something over like that is pretty cool! But I mean." he smirked. "Like. You look really good in that form too. In any form you take, really, but I'd just never seen that one before."

Cain almost dropped the bottle. Well, did.

Her clothing partially transformed into more of those appendages to wrap it up in a firm grip. In the process, the shirt had lost much of its length and bared her lower stomach.

Strangely, the limbs holding onto the bottle, however, were clearly joined to her skin as well.

Which left her half-exposed and beet red.

"...I-I saw you looking at my chest, too, y'know." Pouting at him, she used one prehensile limb to unwind from the bottle's neck while she replaced its grip with her own hand.

"I'm still not sure entirely how I feel about it, having... breasts bigger than I'm used to, but it gets... easier."

Yosuke smiled a little at her pouting. It was cute, really. But.. really the more important thing to him was that she felt comfortable around him taking any form she liked.

Because he cared about her. All of her. In every way.

"You know, I'd figure that wouldn't be as hard to get used to as all the arms and the wings, but, I mean, I've never had breasts so I guess I wouldn't know, right?"

"...I could give you an idea of what it's like. It would be a waste of two condoms, though."

They weren't even very detailed arms - they were just... tentacles. Flesh-colored tentacles with no otherwise discerning features (yet).

Cain continued to pout.

"For me, the bright side is that they don't get any bigger than that. That's how back trouble can start. That, and that I don't have to play "where did I drop the potato chip" with my boobs."

He just laughed at the first part. Though.... if they followed through with their plan of them going on a date together, both crossdressing, he might uh... get to try out something like that.

Anyway.

"Mm. Well, there is that, yeah. Wouldn't want your back to start hurting just on account of giving someone a nice view, right?"

"Well that, and it would make my self-image suffer, too."

Smiling wryly, Cain tapped her fingers against the bottle - still using those other appendages to hold it at the bottom - and tilted her head.

"Anyway, shall we put your gift to use? Right now?"

Yosuke grinned as well, eyeing the bottle, then the multitentacular girl.

"Mm. That sounds like a great idea. I mean. Hope you didn't have any other plans for the evening..."

"Nope, just cleaning. I got lazy this past... week and a half? It was piling up, man. But hey, I can finish the rest later. Like tomorrow later."

Gesturing at him to make himself at home, as usual (a sort of one-handed, sweeping gesture,) she headed for her kitchen to find something "proper" to drink wine from. She may drink from the bottles in private, but there was no need to set that sort of bad precedent to Yosuke!

Well, he was going to do that anyway. Already had, even. He....did feel at home with her. Completely. It was nice.

"Yeah. I mean we've got too much hanging out to do to worry about stuff like that."

((Most likely way for a romance to blossom with him, tbh))
