Nope's Peak round 2 day 6: DATE with Sudoh

[flamingprick]

[Okay, this date is going to be a tough one, because how the hell do you go on a date in the nurse's office? Unless one of them is being nursed back to health, he's not even sure what to do. But he doesn't want it to be a crappy date either, Sudoh is his friend and he deserves a good date.]

You got any ideas here?

Comments

[flamingprick]

Yeah, but you can ride in style!

[dismemberthename]

I'll save style for people who have any idea how it works.

[flamingprick]

Aww, come on! You're plenty stylish.

[dismemberthename]

Yeah, no, these are Shut Hell's clothes, not mine.

[flamingprick]

But you still wear them, right? You could've changed clothes here, but you didn't.

[dismemberthename]

I feel like that implies an active attempt not to deal with style at all.

[flamingprick]

[HE REACHES OUT

AND RUFFLES SUDOH'S HAIR]

You're not good at taking compliments are you?

[dismemberthename]

[scrunches up his nose at the ruffles but letting it happen.]

That miiiight be a thing?

[flamingprick]

Am I going to have to go on a compliment spree to get you to chill out about it? Because I've done that twice already, so I think I'm getting better at it.

[Admittedly the other two times were much more romantic in nature, but he can figure out a friends version of it.]

[dismemberthename]

Thanks, but I'll pass.

[flamingprick]

If you say so. But you're still cool.

[dismemberthename]

You're cool too.

[That's LIKE accepting a compliment, right]

[flamingprick]

[CLOSE ENOUGH]

You know, you're cool enough that you might win this game. Thought about what you'd do with the prize?

[dismemberthename]

I dunno, the competition's pretty strong.

Not much I could do with it in this body anyway. So I'm looking to have a good time, rather than actually win.

[flamingprick]

[Oh, so he's like Allen.]

You know, if you win, you should come to my world. I can't promise anything, but your situation is kinda like what demons do. With the body stuff and everything. They might have something to help you there.

And if they don't, them my world is still pretty awesome, so it'd be a good place to have a good time.

[dismemberthename]

[laughs, softly.]

You offered the same thing to Tatsuya, right? I hope he takes you up on it.

Gotta say I'm really not up for ditching Shut Hell in another world, but I'd be up for visiting. We just have unfinished business, where we're from.

[flamingprick]

A visit wouldn't be too bad, especially if it helped with your energy problem. And Tatsuya told me about his world. There's no way I can let him go back there without at least giving him the option of going somewhere else.

[dismemberthename]

Yeah. I fully support you taking him home with you, honestly. Please do. I can't take him home with me, and he can't go home with Yusuke and Akira, so...

[flamingprick]

Yeah. I know everyone's got their own responsibilities to go home to, that's the problem we had last time too. But Tatsuya's world just sounds way too horrible. He deserves better.

[dismemberthename]

Way better.

[flamingprick]

Mhmm.

[Okay, this is a little sad. SWITCHING GEARS.]

You like him, don't you?

[dismemberthename]

Very much.

[just. straightforwardly. still kinda sad but like, do your best rin]
