closed 🚗 everybody loves mushrooms

WHO: Ayaka, Cloud, Yoimiya, and Tartaglia
WHAT: Double deito game night
WHEN: Early August
WHERE: Yoimiya's place
WARNINGS: None for now!

[ This has been a long time coming. Two best friends hang out with their boyfriends! (Or boyfriend and beau.) Fortunately, the cold weather has passed, and everything seems to be back to normal. Before ringing the doorbell to Yoimiya's apartment, Cloud and Ayaka stopped by a place to get some drinks and snacks to bring. There's tea leaves (because Ayaka...............), but it was Cloud's suggestion to buy some beers and a bottle of vodka. For snacks, a box of tiny cakes, a few bags of chips, and Yan Yans. They make for a good dessert!

Everyone's cheerful and in a good mood once introduction's have been made. Once the food's ready and everyone's seated, it's time to dig in! It's best to have a full stomach before playing a bunch of video games, after all. Whatever they may be... ]


What kind of games are we going to play? [ Ayaka does not know anything. ] There was a game that Cloud and I played recently. There was a tower made from blocks, and we would pull a block out, answer the question written on it, then put it at the top.

It was fun. The questions were a little embarrassing, though.

[Thwap, thwap, thwap goes Yoimiya's pillow against his back, his head, hitting him pretty much everywhere that's exposed. Tartaglia lets out faux cries of pain between laughter, looking up from the ground and blinking once as Cloud crouches in front of him while Yoimiya berates him during her assault.]

Huh...?

[Thwap.]

Ahhhh!

[He takes yet another hit, Ayaka cheering against him for his "dastardly deeds," Come on now, what dastardly deeds have I committed to deserve this! and it's about here where he decides that if the world is against him, then he needs to fight back and reclaim his dignity from this clearly unjust punishment he's suffering!]

Oh, now you'll pay for this! You better hold on tight-!

[With Yoimiya sitting on him, he pushes himself up off the ground, on his hands and knees now, free from the prison that is the floor! He has become!

A horsie.

So much for that reclaimed dignity and all.]

[ AYAKA'S GOT IT RIGHT! The Harbinger must be punished for his dastardly deeds. Feeling empowered by her friend's encouragement, there's not a shred of mercy in her swings as she wails on him, hitting anywhere and everywhere she can with her cushiony weapon. And to add insult to injury, Cloud makes his grand entrance... delivering a well-deserved bop. Oh, this is priceless, she's happy that Cloud managed to get his revenge as well.

But then, he suddenly rises from the ground and in turn, lifts her up while still sitting on his back. She stops mid-swing, looking down in confusion until, oh.

This just got even more priceless. ]


Hahahaha! Oh my goodness... what are you? A horse? Hahaha, look, look! I got a steed.

[ She's gonna reach over and...

Give him a light smack on the butt. Giddy-Up, Horsey!

So much for reclaiming his dignity indeed. What would the Tsaritsa think? But hey, at least she's laughing now. ]

[ "In the name of the Raiden Shogun, you are to pay for all your dastardly deeds!" ]

[ This is dumb. ]

[ "Oh, now you'll pay for this! You better hold on tight-!" ]

[ Someone he's been told was a dangerous Harbinger, a member of a faction that saw to uproot Inazuma in the name of the Tsaritsa, was bucking Yoimiya on his back like a steed needing breaking in.

This is absurd... ]


[ "-what are you? A horse? Hahaha, look, look! I got a steed." ]

[ Cloud used to think that he was more mature than the other kids growing up. He's over here, on an in-home double date, playing video games and now dryly thwapping a man with a pillow while his girlfriend declares he will pay. All the while said manhorse is getting ridden by his own girlfriend. ]

...

[ So then...how come Cloud was smiling so much? How come he was failing to keep his voice in, shoulders shaking with a chuckle? At first, he looks up to Ayaka from where she's seated, a look of disbelief in his eyes. Disbelief that this is a page of his life, and that he was going to remember it fondly. This was okay...right? Looking up at Yoimiya from his squatted position, her sunny smile and laughter is contagious. And finally, sharing a more sympathetic look with the 'Horsey', bright mako blues meeting the purer color in the Harbinger's. ]

Ride 'em cowgirl much?

[ You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy. ]

[At first, he glances upwards to see Yoimiya laughing and having fun, which he hopes has gotten him out of the hot water he put himself in to begin with, softly yelping with a soft Hey! when she smacks his butt. His plan isn't to be a horsey for very much longer, but his eyes meet that of Cloud's own blue, stopping him in his tracks when he asks that.

First, Tartaglia's face adopts a light shade of pink, not having expected him to ask that out of all the questions in the entire world, before his head drops down and his entire body seems to shake with a silent laughter. He looks up with a grin on his face, face still a little red but he isn't missing a shred of confidence on his face when he responds:]


Every chance I get.

[MAYBE A LITTLE TMI BUT CLOUD ASKED SO

he is also unaware of being filmed loooool]

[ SORRY NOT SORRY FOR HER BOYFRIEND, CLOUD. This is her beloved Tartaglia, confident even as Snezhnaya's greatest horse man. Most people would probably feel some semblance of embarrassment but this is Yoimiya we're talking about.

Thus, there's not a hint of embarrassment nor shame when she speaks with a big bright smile. ]


Pretty sure that's how he likes it best.

[ NOBODY ASKED, YOIMIYA........

Because a certain blonde is still feeling like a brat, she isn't going to say a word about Ayaka on camera. He's gonna find out when it's too late. >:D In the back of her mind, she's already making a note to ask her brilliant friend for the video later, mwahahahaha. ]

[Oh goodness, these are priceless reactions from both Cloud and Ayaka. He turns his head to see the dropped phone on the floor and poor Ayaka's face, before turning it back to the spiky blonde, his eyes shining in amusement. Did he take it the wrong way? Guess Cloud was being literal in his question, but he's never heard any military guy use that phrase in any other way than talking about something dirty.

So naturally, he starts laughing, and hard. Plus, he's not letting Yoimiya get off his back, slowly standing up as he shoots his arms back to catch her legs so she doesn't fall off. Piggy back ride time.]


Ahahahaha-! Oh goodness! You guys are a riot, I'm in stitches here-!

[Shifting Yoimiya upwards so she sits better on his back, he walks outward so he can look at both Cloud and Ayaka, grinning from ear to ear.]

Oh, I haven't laughed like that in a long time. You two should've seen the looks on your faces! I don't normally kiss and tell like that, but...

[Worth]

[ Oops. Judging from poor Ayaka and Cloud's flushed faces maybe, just maaaaaybe Yoimiya might have said a little TMI. She does feel bad watching her friend drop her phone in shock..... even if she can't stop the giggles from slipping out. Ah, poor sweet Ayaka. Making a note to treat her friend to a fun girl's day out to make up for embarrassing her. ]

Sorry, sorry! Couldn't help myself with that one.

[ Is she really sorry though???

Still, she can't stop the merry laughs from slipping out as Tartaglia pulls her into a piggyback ride! Weeee~! Getting comfortable, she wraps her arms around his shoulders, latching onto him like a blonde firecracker koala.]


Hey, don't be too mean to them, okay? Remember, you're still in hot water for being a huge brat.

[ And to prove her point, one of her hands reaches over to tug on his cheek! ]

Hehe, yeah! We can play another game if you guys like M▊▊▊▊ Party. Or... [ Uh oh, she's most definitely up to no good, grinning from ear to ear. ] maybe a piggyback race?

[ She just wants to see Ayaka ride Cloud tbh— ]

[ Their brains all ultimately arrived at the same destination. And technically? Cloud started it. It was Yoimiya and Childe who finished. :) The four of them are now one collective, neuro network of laughter, embarrassment, thirst and shame. When he gets scolded first, he's flustered...and mayhaps looking a little ashamed. Don't pout beau. ]

S'cuse me.

[ But at least Tartaglia and Yoimiya were having a good time. ...at their expense. Don't shame them too hard, you two. :< They are closet filth. At least Cloud leans back onto his knees before pushing himself back up to his feet, pillow dangling in hand. Shaking his head, he tries to rid himself that fuzzy feeling in his brain, and clears his throat as if that was going to somehow dispel the blush.

Ahh. That was relatively harmless. They'll get over it. Eventually. ]


You're just trouble all-around.

[ Mr. Tartaglia. >:{ ... But he doesn't really mean that. Not in the contexts of this night. When Yoimiya suggests a game like M▊▊▊▊ Party? He puts his hands on his hips as if to step up to the plate and agree. But she tapers... Or...? Or... what?! ]

Piggyback?

[ He cocks an eyebrow...before taking a look over at Ayaka. As if he was looking for guidance and a suggestion. ... His alcohol tolerance. He's too sober to make this choice on his own. SDFAJLK ]

TAGGING IN

[personal profile] sultanofsquat 2024-01-13 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Thankfully for Ayaka, she's not the only one with that train of thought. Not that he was admonishing the other two for taking advantage of his very poor choice of words, but that Cloud valued his own privacy too. He wasn't a people person. Not for general people he didn't know. But even amongst those closest to him, there were certain topics that you just...didn't breach? Not easily, anyway.

If nothing else, Ayaka's query when they return home wouldn't be fruitless. Even if he never did start talking about these sorts of things with other people (bragging about sex being too bomb with your girlfriend was out of his zone,) he'd...start thinking about it. ]


Guess it depends on where.

[ Would they have enough stretch of land to go? Are they just...racing around the couch? Hopping over it? The more he thinks about just how this was all about to unfold, the more prominent in Cloud's head was the feeling that this was all stupid. Smacking Childe with a pillow was one thing, but now things were getting ramped up. And what would they say about him doing that for her and what would Ayaka think and— ]

[ "Would that be okay with you? I should not be too heavy..." ]

I'll do it.

[ All aboard your stupid beau, Ayaka. Hardly a sigh of resignation either. Yup. That's it. This is what happens when he doesn't get teased into doing something. Cloud decides to return to her side on the couch. ]

I told you before. [ He turns his back to her, looking over his shoulder. Well? Miss Koalamisato? ] You're like a feather.

[He grins over to Cloud nervously as his cheek gets tugged on, chuckling a little through his teeth since Yoimiya hasn't let him out of the doghouse for what he did. But at least now he's not getting beaten with pillows, even if it was pretty funny. Still worth.

He watches both Cloud and Ayaka discuss Yoimiya's proposal, pleased with the direction this has gone in. His thoughts are the same as Cloud's; they can't really do this inside. He looks back at Yoimiya, giving her a quick apologetic kiss to her cheek before coming up with an idea to address their new piggyback race competition.]


We'll have to go outside if you want to race. Racing around the apartment building shouldn't be too dangerous, don't you think?

[In fact, it should be perfect. If they wipe, they'll just land on the grass instead of into a coffee table.]

I think Yoimiya and I could give you two a run for your money, haha. Racing is, after all, another sort of battle, and we work pretty well together.

[ Apology kiss accepted... it does earn him a smile, anyway. But mark her words Harbinger, the nose-pinching incident won't be forgotten! She's already formulating ideas on how to exact her revenge when the time is right. ]

Yeah, I was thinking we take this outside as well. The apartment isn't big enough to run around.

[ Grinning from ear to ear, she too is looking extremely pleased with this turn of events. Engaging in silly little games with Ayaka has been a long-time dream of hers, it warms her heart to see her sweet friend with a loving partner she can let loose and have fun with. She can tell that Cloud has been a wonderful light in Ayaka's life and every time she watches the pair, it's another reminder of how happy she is for them. This has been a night full of fun and laughter that she'll never forget.

Well, minus the red shell and nose pinching... >:c ]


That's right! When Mr. Nose Pincher here isn't being a brat... [ She affectionately says with a laugh, ruffling his ginger locks ] we actually do make a really great team. We've fought quite a few enemies together, so a piggyback race will be a cinch for us.

[personal profile] sultanofsquat 2024-01-15 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Watching Childe and Yoimiya kiss and make up as it were, he can't help letting his expression soften up some. He was (at time still is) awkward around public displays of affection. But Cloud consciously makes the choice to take Ayaka's hand in his. Not just out of an instinct to protect those near him, but because she gives him peace. So, little gestures like this? They don't have the same effect they would have had on him before and when he first arrived in Nippon.

All in all? ... Good on it, you two.

As the couple confidently lay down the gauntlet and speak of their synergy, however, that's a spark he can get behind. He teeters closer to the cockier side he's shown off in the past, but reins himself in just a little. This was about throwing caution to the wind. And if no one was going to judge? He'll step up. ]


Awful confident, stepping up to an Ex-SOLDIER and a Swordmaster.

[ Pointedly looking back at Ayaka on that last part. She taps him on the back, and he hums with a nod again before getting up and turning to her. Holding out his hand, he'll help her to her feet when she's ready. ]

That's right. She's the reason I've gotten stronger. [ In fact, you know what? Leave it to Cloud, Ayaka. He'll be the one to brag for you. Coolly. ( ̄ヘ ̄) ] Gotta keep up if I'm gonna do Kamisato Art Tachi Jutsu proud.

[ "Anyway, shall we go?" ]

Let's go.

[Chuckling quietly as he gets his hair ruffled by Yoimiya, he listens to their opponent's boasts, whether modest or not, on this race. It doesn't matter what kind of talk it is, fighting talk is fighting talk and Tartaglia is 100% here for it. The expression on his face shifts to a cocky smirk, accepting their challenge as he turns sideways towards the front door.]

Oh ho, seems there really is a bit of a fight in the two of you. Alright, let's see if the Kamisato Arts help you against the might of a Harbinger.

[And with his cute blonde package on his back, he fully turns to lead everyone outside, what could be easily mistaken as an evil laugh given who is it is resonates out from him in anticipation of this duel race.]

Follow me. There's a little strip outside of this apartment building that's suitable for our race, haha.

[ Ayaka and Cloud are hyping each other up and it's one of the cutest things she's ever witnessed... if she wasn't so fired up with their competition, her heart would have absolutely melted at their sweet display of affection. But, she's thrilled to hear the other couple bragging about each other, it's the kind of fighting spirit Yoimiya enjoys seeing for herself as well. ]

Now that's what I like to hear! With the power of our love, this is going to be the piggyback race of the century.

[ Keeping a steady hold on him, his blonde package has her arms curled around his shoulders. He's already proving his might by carrying her to their designated location before the race has even begun! She laughs alongside her boyfriend... albeit, more chirpy and less sinister than Tartaglia's. It's an ominous-sounding laughter for sure but Yoimiya loves it all the same. ]

Onwards, trusty steed! Lead us to victory!

[ Yes, she's still calling him horsey... her lovely Snezhnayan horse man. ]

[ Something tells him that in any other world, any other time or place...getting challenged by a Fatui Harbinger would have held severely different connotations. So, Cloud quietly counts his blessings and takes the confident challenge of the other couple in stride. ]

Got a reputation to uphold.

[ If they do fall in the heat of battle, the onus will fall upon Cloud. Fret not, Ayaka. He'll always be your fall guy. 🥹 ]

...?

[ That's when she tug tugs on his hand to pull him down. And he slows just enough that he can lean back and inward to Ayaka's whisper. At first, his expression is more one of concern. Was everything okay? Was she nervous? Was she— ]
