                   « アイドルX » He had suspected that they had other intentions, but the delight when their lips meet is still very much welcomed. Their eyes had been a pretty big giveaway, and knowing that, there was no way he could’ve refused. A hum of satisfaction is given as he lets them roam a little, while they could.

                  “Oh so that’s how you’re going to play it?” 

“So is it… more of a pride thing, then? Or skill?”

While Mashu was mostly just throwing things to see if they stuck to the wall that was this Assassin, the long pause from earlier meant she was getting somewhere. Then again, with the distant look in his eyes, the girl thought about stopping her questions altogether.

“A–Again, I apologize if I’m bombarding you. Please, don’t feel you have to answer everything.”

            « 謎のヒーローX » “Mm...Sort of.”

            It was really difficult to explain to another, something he’d realised a while ago when he tried to rationalise it with himself. Not many would have the opportunity to meet alternate versions of themselves, whether it be from another timeline or universe. X knew that no matter which Cu Chulainn he challenged or met, they weren’t ‘him’, so to speak, yet despite knowing that he still wanted to know what the difference between them were. And duels were the easiest way for him to understand.

          BRINGING THE TRINKET CLOSER TO INSPECT, THE beast silently agrees with the fluffy statement when given to the keychain, feeling the hairs against rough skin. it’s an innocent gift, one of goodwill,  bringing confusion to his mind. something small,  &&  cute, had made someone think of him, rather than murderous  &&  frightening.

          eyes find him again, speaking after a lingering moment of silence.   “ thank you …. but, i have nothing for you. “

                « 謎のヒーローX » “Don’t worry about it.”

                He grins, attempting to give the other a small clap to the back but he’s not quite sure where his hand ended up.

                “You know, apparently some people find you intimidating, but you seem like a good guy. I wonder why...”

                Maybe it was their height or build? 

                    « 謎のヒーローX »“Isn’t that pretty normal? Like, your usual five senses, another for battle and another for those in the animal kingdom?”

Climbing with the squirt bottle of lime is a bit more difficult but she’s able to hold it in her mouth as she climbs the drainage pipe and makes her way up to the roof with the kitty treat.  She trots towards the man with a smile on her face, not frightened in the least of him.

              « 謎のヒーローX » Watching her slowly make her way to him, even though she struggles, actually sees X calm down a little. He didn’t find her threatening, just rather admirable for being so determined. Instead of backing away ( the need to do that was gone ), he simply turns her to and asks.

she throws out the bbq sauce. It doesn’t go well with tears. Lime flavoring on the other hand….

This should go just right! Now to catch the blue kitty treat! Cuz it’s yummy in the tummy! Gao Gao!

               « 謎のヒーローX » “What the hell did I do to deserve this?”

              “     ye  don’t  sound  convinced  ,     “  remarks  the  shorter  of  the  two  as  he  walks  along  with  him  ,  close  enough  to  conveniently  latch  onto  him  should  a  sea  of  fans  happen  to  stampede  their  way  .  luckily  it’s  nighttime  and  they’re  harder  to  spot  ,  but  many  fans  are  sharp  and  could  recognize  them  from  a  mile  away  ━  thus  his  steps  do  not  dare  to  delay  .                     “     i  know  i  tend  te  play  the  charm  n’  flirt  card  often  ,  but  it  wasn’t  anythin’  like  that  ;  not  on  my  behalf  anyway  .  they  didn’t  do  anythin’  crazy  ,  luckily  …  but  i  think  they  must’ve  misread  my  intentions  an  …     “

                  « アイドルX » He glances to the side and sighs lightly. Cu empathised with the other man, since he’d been told he’s quite ‘the flirt’ at times too. Then and again, he knew Diarmuid’s case was a little different from his own, they naturally attracted others to them, or at least that’s what it felt like to him. One small step is enough to erase the distance in-between them as his arm moves behind their back to catch their waist on the other side.

                  “Look, if we weren’t friends, and you gave me that angelic smile out of the blue and a few nice words with your smooth voice. I’d be onto you like that as well.”

                  He even snaps his fingers for emphasis before letting his hand slip away from their waist and giving them a little space.

“Eh my favourites? But Cú..don’t you have anything you’d like to eat?” however as she looked at the menu the prices weren’t that low than she expected. This is a bit troublesome. “Umm.. I’d like some spaghetti please with cheese.” 

         « 謎のヒーローX » “I’m not that familiar with the food in this universe so I want you to introduce me to some.”

@mhxcu - Starter!

Mini Cu-chan had wandered too much during one of his daily adventures to face new dangers, engage in battles with the talking giants (or hide from them) and find sugary treasures that he refused to share with anyone. But now he really didn’t know where he was standing or where his little feet were taking him. But, when he turned in a corner, he saw a somewhat familiar face.

The plushie blinked a couple of times as he inspected the unknown giant. Even though he shared some similarities with him, the stranger still was an intruder in his opinion. And the little plushie didn’t accept intruders in his domains! 

Mini Cu-chan slowly approached the talking giant from behind, careful not to make a single sound and to stay out of sight, action that wasn’t difficult at all if one considered his tiny and soft physqhe. When he was close enough, Mini Cu-chan jumped the intruder’s right leg. For extra security, he used his tail to wrap himself more tightly around the giant. 

“Gotcha!” Mini Cu-chan announced in a triumphal voice. Then, he proceeded to nibble aggressively on the giant’s leg. 

           « 謎のヒーローX » X hadn’t really be paying attention ( to the ground at least ), so the moment something latched onto his leg his first reaction was to try and shake it off. But its grip was tight, and actually kind of spiky. Upon looking down to see the culprit his expression changes from one of slight irritation to mild amusement.

          “Hey! Stop that,” he groans regardless.

          Not only did they remind him of...well, himself, but more accurately a certain Berserker, it even had the ‘tail’ to match. And it’s at that point in time that he tries to peel the tiny creature thing off of his leg, with little avail. Just great.

The polearm was scrutinized carefully, dark talons tipping it for any magical reaction. It was as X had claimed, it was a copy. A good copy. He remembered something distantly and his mouth parted a little when he retreated his hand. The mentor of Cú Chulainn, the witch Scathach had many of these at her disposal, likely she had lend them out to her student’s incarnations.

Then, flaring his nostrils he posed his hand against his waist. Dad? Really?

         “…don’t push your luck, for its infamy is known to me.”

He returned in a mix of grumble and whisper. 

         “But your lack of discipline is worrisome and so is sending you off with a mere toy. I shall accompany you. Let us leave then.”

            « 謎のヒーローX » He smiles, in acknowledgement but there’s still mischief in his expression. X respected the other enough to not keep it up, but hey, now that he thought about it, they did remind him of a father figure ( even though he never really had one so his impression might not be very accurate ). It was weird, but he did appreciate their carefulness and strictness.

            “I’m glad you’re coming along. I don’t think we’ve gone out into the field together before, right?”

She could almost see the formation of those words upon his lips before he said them, she could hear the playful purr in his voice. Mashu fell absolutely still once they came together, her cheeks burned ruby red. This gentle of a touch from someone usually so bold and brash was what she adored.

Mashu returned the kiss a bit clumsily, this was her first but she tried her best. She pulled away as he spoke, but lingered only a few inches in the space between them, her head spun in circles. She could hardly manage a full sentence.

“Of… of course.”

              « 謎のヒーローX » Phew, he had known Mashu was adorable but the way her bright eyes glanced at him over the rim of her glasses was definitely enough to make his heart skip a beat. Sure, he had been half-playing around earlier but he was honestly interested in her. For a moment he wonders what it would take to gain another few of those delicious kisses from her.
