Nope. But it was a solid idea and earned me some leverage with Shiraishi so it's still fine. I'll work with what I can.

[unpredicktable]

[ hm? ]

Leverage for what?

[crashout]

He reminds me of someone I know. Smart guy, but a lot easier to talk to if you earn his respect which is hard to do in the first place. So. I pitch him my ideas so that it's easier to go back to him later and get other answers.

[unpredicktable]

Yeah, he drives me nuts.

[ that wasn't the lesson here but. it's what dick settles on ]

[crashout]

He's not terrible once you figure him out. Snake was sometimes worse. [But he grins a little anyway.]

...you're staying here for tonight, right? [Dick has literally never slept anywhere else and yet he's asking. It's Thursday, after all.]

[unpredicktable]

[ it's an incredibly dumb question but dick hums ]

'Course. You?

[ neither of them have ever slept anywhere the fuck else ]

[crashout]

Probably. [So that's a yes, but he sighs tiredly.] Just checking. Forget it.

[But he's firmly establishing himself against Dick's side so like. Okay.]

[unpredicktable]

... Ha, am I ruining your sleepover plans?

[ he says that but he's, y'know, still petting ]

[crashout]

As much as I didn't mind last week, I kind of want to deal with less people right now as long as we know where everyone else is going to be.

[unpredicktable]

... Yeah. Same.

[ the sighs he lets out is almost bone-weary ]

[crashout]

[Yeah, that...makes sense.]

...break time, Grayson. Do whatever you need to do during the day but come back early.

[unpredicktable]

[ ... dick pushes lightly at junpei's face ]

Really don't wanna hear that from you.

[crashout]

[A light bat. Stop.]

That's not a yes I'm hearing.

[unpredicktable]

Well... how early is early?

[crashout]

I dunno. Eight? That's only like two hours.

[unpredicktable]

Dunno. Might be asking me to relax too long.

[ it's a joke, because he was absolutely there at 8pm, insanely enough ]

[crashout]

[Well. He'll open his eyes and blink up at him for a moment.]

Please? [There. If he asks, Dick has to. Those are the rules now.]

[unpredicktable]

[ ........ he was going to anyway, but now he has no choice and he laughs, looking away ]

... Yeah, alright. I'll be here at eight.

[crashout]

[He tries to smack him in the chest but it's like, a barely-there pat.]

You could maybe agree without laughing.

[unpredicktable]

I could.

[ shhhh it's fine he pets junpei's hair to make up for the bullying ]

[crashout]

Man, why do I even like you when you mock me? Completely rude. [And yet one of his other favorite people is Nikkari so like. Shrug.]

...you can make up for it by continuing to do that though. [Still demanding, but okay.]

[unpredicktable]

Doesn't everyone you like mock you?

[ ruthless? but he keeps up his petting ]

[crashout]

[Just. Silence. You know, yes, but also god. So he'll just let Dick pet his hair and draw his own conclusions.]

[unpredicktable]

Relentless bullying. It's what friendship is all about.

[ his ass saying friendship when they're cuddling and have regular sex sure is smt ]

[crashout]

["You don't fuck your friends three times in the same week." These words are forever going to haunt him. But he just kind of softly bites at Dick's shoulder as a punishment for being a jerk.]

Remind me to get better friends then.
