While sitting down at a local cafe, the TV in the background was blaring about how the famous artist, Ichiryusai Madarame, did not plagiarized his student's works but sold them for profit and under his own name. Fuuka shook her head, taking a bite of her strawberry shortcake, and swallowed. "It's still the same idea, though..." She murmured to herself, wondering how there are still bad adults to this day.

She began to watch the newscast, watching Madarame crying and sobbing grossly. Fuuka winced as she had to turn away and finish her dessert. "I feel horrible for his students..." She got up after she finished and left the plate and glass of water there, knowing the cafe was fine with picking it up. Turning her head back to the TV, checking to see if Madarame was off the screen, she unknowingly bumped into someone and gasped loudly.

@goemn sent - today was kiss ryuji day — a joyous occasion he must celebrate . so , yusuke leaned downwards and gave ryuji a kiss on his cheek . ( Kiss Ryuji Day! )

Yusuke had always been an unpredictable guy and sure enough, once again, Ryuji found himself surprised - flushing from ear to yer also grinning dumbly like an idiot from Yusuke's kiss. Latching onto the only coherent thought that came to mind - food - he blurted out.

Send 💝 for a plationic kiss.

"Man, was our Showtime awesome or was it awesome...?!"

Undeniably there was always a sense of adrenaline that accompanied leaving the Metaverse - that brief high of feeling absolutely free and unrestrained - and getting to kick some ass, too! Today especially however, his adrenaline and energy seemed to be through the roof - albeit, for different reasons, this time.

After much practising, much strategizing, their efforts had finally paid off in their combination attack - their Showtime! While the final result had been far from perfect and there were undeniable areas to improve on, more than anything else, he was pumped, he was excited, he was full of adrenaline and energy.

And so without even thinking, he had reached for the other male, bringing him for a quick and excitable kiss on the cheek, arms wrapping around him in a clumsy but excitable hug!

"Dude, that was just amazing...!" He was still rambling, his cheeks still flushed and his eyes still bright until he looked down and realized he'd still been hugging Yusuke and reality seemed to hit him some as he relinquished his hold, managing a sheepish apology.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Akira's not sure what he did to have Yusuke out of the blue say that to him. Maybe because he rammed the Morganna bus into the walls? But they were breakable. Well, the first few anyways. Yusuke was the one to always beg for more treasure to sell because they could make more 'money'.

"If you are complaining about my driving skills, I will have Haru in the seat instead and we both know how that is going to turn out". Akira doesn't know who is worse at operating a vehicle. His mom or Haru. And he really doesn't want to test that out either. He doesn't know if he or Yusuke would survive that ordeal to find the answer to that morbid question.

@goemn (basically ) said: that his tummy hurt.

He wants to roll his eyes. Really Yusuke? Why tell him this? Akira wasn't a doctor. Tae was more qualified to be told this than him. What does the other want from him? Empathy? Well, there was none. He tried to warn Yusuke about overeating. Sure the food looked good, but there was no way to check for food borne illness or let's say poison. Hey! It could happen considering who was the current topic here.

Coming out with activities to invite Yusuke out to tended to be a bit of a toss-up for Akira. On one hand, he could make some predictions. If they went somewhere with art or food, it would be an easy win. But that was sort of the problem. It could be too easy. He wanted to challenge himself to come up with more interesting options than that. There were some… eccentricities that the artist had, to put it lightly, and he was much more interesting in exploring these than he was in playing it safe. This was a habit of his, in fact -- playing it safe was boring, and there was nothing he'd like to be less than boring.

He'd decided that today's hangout would be at the aquarium. Sure, it was a common date spot, and he was well aware of this in offering the invitation, but he was more interested seeing which fish were deemed interesting enough to be sketched, aside from the obvious one he knew was a favorite. He'd suggested it as a place they could go that might help Yusuke out with this slump he was in, though truthfully, he wasn't sure how effective it would be. There were some interesting shapes of fish here, and maybe he'd enjoy that? If it went poorly, they could always stop at the ramen shop in Shibuya on the way back and he could treat his confidant there. An easy back-up plan.

As they arrived at Shinagawa, he decided he could take the opportunity to prod a bit. “So, what do you think? Just the lobsters today?” he teased him lightly. It was hard not to be curious about what went on in the artist's head sometimes. There was an element of unpredictability in there that he felt was just too interesting not to try and lure out.
