Before offering Keisuke any sort of greeting, DekaMaster used his SP License to quickly scan the other man’s body. That gesture could have been seen as rude, but Doggie had dealt way too many times with shapeshifting Alienizers to take any risks.

When the result on the screen revealed he was facing the real deal, the Commander put his License back into his pocket, and offered a handshake to the newcomer.

"X-Rider in the flesh. I didn’t expect someone like you to appear in these parts. Still, it’s a pleasure, as always.”

    Keisuke looked at his twin before him. The younger man looked nervous, unsure of himself, shy even. He held his own helmet over his left eye in an attempt to shield himself. The agent of G.O.D. near found the other, dare he say, cute?

A thought he wouldn’t have believed to have had toward anyone, let alone an exact copy of himself. Well, not an exact copy, of course. They had their clear differences just in how they held themselves. “You’re not from around here,” he observed, offering his hand to the other. “I’d be more than willing to show you around.”

He gave him a charming smile, an attempt to disarm the other Keisuke. Let him know he’s in good company with himself, after all. “Perhaps we could start with getting a cup of coffee? I know a good café around here, after all.”

       「 It was hard to believe he had accidentally        ran across another version of himself. A        version of himself who wasn’t scared by his        own shadow, so to speak. This other him held        himself so proudly and without fear. Hell, he        seemed quite sure of himself and invested in        the things he did with a type of feel that        showed he wouldn’t let anyone stand in his        way. It was easy to find it sort of relaxing.

       Relaxing as it was, the offer of the hand made        Keisuke pop back a bit away from it, as if he        was expected to be attacked instead of offered        a gentle hand to hold.

                       “I, am not, that is correct...”

       It was a short comment and not much was        added beyond it. Even as he spoke it the        words seemed to be taken away by the wind.        His voice lost and silent.

       Sleeve pulled down over his hand, the young        man laid it in the palm of the other as his        silent agreement to this coffee. Too scared to        tell him of his physical position, he simply        kept the helmet over his eye as he stared at        their hands with the other. 」

     There was always the question about what was going on with this whole disguise, isn’t there? A sudden random person of unknown origins to anyone who was in the past. 

     How does someone know one knows, who has done nothing that anyone knows about, be a “Kamen Rider”?

     Eclipse called himself a Kamen Rider from the get-go. No questions asked. ‘I am a Kamen Rider.’ It was as simple as that. But really, is the title so easy to hand out? Even in a situation where it is technically true.

     Eclipse, and in return Seikuu, did fight for others at the drop of a hat. He did fight risking his own life quite freely and defended those who needed it. Even fought the same kind of evil group that his seniors and the juniors after do, but does that really mean he’s allowed such a prominent title?

     It seemed getting mixed up with Hongo Takeshi and Jin Keisuke was now really going to prove it one way or another as his ‘Rider-ship’ was in question.

     “Keisuke,” Hongou started as he looked over the younger man with his two-toned hair “this is the person you spoke of who you ran across by chance?” The question was simple, mostly relaxed, though a little on edge by any who might know him. After all, he was concern about some random person who came out of no where who fought an evil organization not a single one of the Riders currently active even noticed was existing. [Even with all their travels across the different countries, they should have noticed something right?]

     Freeing Keisuke from that project, offering the whole peace offering, insisting upon their joining of forces instead of being enemies. It was sudden, sure, on both sides honestly, but it was how things were going now and it was now time to talk more fully on the subject.

     He had given Keisuke a location, of course in coordinates, to a forest insisting to go there in two weeks time. He said there they will be alone with no one to possibly even spy on them and they could communicate freely in any form chosen.

     Plus, he added, Keisuke would see a side to Apollo he normally wouldn’t have known existed because he’d be off duty during that time on a few days break.

     And that was why the man was currently wearing his suit at a camp site with a large tent already propped up and tables situated with chairs around it. A fire was already going helping heat water for the coffee he was about to brew as well as a little snack to eat along with it.

     Sure, normally, he wouldn’t be wearing his suit while camping like this [though everything else he did during this camping trip was same as always] but he was actually a little concerned on how Keisuke would take seeing him in his outdoor’s gear. If Keisuke came, he’d change if request, but really he’d otherwise be a little to nervous to because of how terrified he is of making Keisuke say no to the idea of working side by side.

> SHIPPING THEM HARD! Send me two character names and I’ll fill out the list for you

>SHIPPING THEM HARD! Send me two character names and I’ll fill out the list for you

Who is the clingy one? - Tethys is the clingy one hands down. She’s goofy clingy and sprays Apollo with water.

Who is more likely to admit a mistake? - Neither will admit a mistake to each other, unless it’s a work related one and that’s another story. Since that’s just a need to own up to their own mistakes in that field.

Would they lie to make each other happy? - Y.E.S. Quite literally how their relationship kind of ends up, in verses where she survives her son being taken, Apollo constantly lies to her about her son’s life so to not bother her and insult her for her own happiness. Though Tethys hasn’t been given a chance to lie for Apollo’s happiness, she would do it if given the opportunity.

Who is more experimental (in bed)? - Tethys is more experimental because of weird “research” to try to help with getting pregnant while Apollo is more experimental in the normal sense as he actually actively has sex while she’s not interested beyond the pregnancy. 

Who is more spontaneous? - TETHYS IS SO FLIPPING SPONTANEOUS EXCUSE ME APOLLO SIGHS AT THE THOUGHT.

What do they do to cheer up each other on a bad day? - Venting. They let each other vent as much as they please on anything. In whatever manner they choose too. Even if it’s text message ranting that ends up being ten pages long on a terrible coffee brew Tachibana made.

Is there something they’d like to change about each other? - Apollo: Can she stop spraying me with water and calling me flaming?Tethys: Can he stop pointing out I both exist and don’t exist in more ways than one?

How do they describe one another to other people? - Apollo: She’s hyper, excitable, professional but excitable. Tethys: Kinda a grump, good at his job, relaxes in the outdoors. It’s like he’s a different person–.

How are they both handling money? - Apollo is great at it. Tethys is quite the saver, never know if she has to run for it again.

Who is the more romantic one? - APOLLO [No matter what I don’t think this will be anyone other than Apollo if he’s in the ship. JUST TRY ME]

Lazy days or adventure together? Who prefers what? - Apollo would prefer adventures with her because it means they are probably working and that means she won’t be as annoying as on lazy days. Tethys though is more of a lover of both, a little bit more together of the two types. Adventure, to her though, is dragging Apollo off to do what she wants.

Who is the one to more likely initiate sex? - Tethys: I’ve decided I want to try to have a child.Apollo: You are in a good rank for that, good luc–Tethys: I want you to be the father since you’re the only one I trustApollo: –k… … … You want us to fuck okay then.

If they had a pillow fight, who would win? - Tethys would start the dang thing trying to win against Apollo but no matter what Apollo would finish it and make her pout.

     Just because one can time travel, doesn’t mean they can freely just bounce around and not worry about screwing things up. Messing with things is always something that should be top priority.

     That’s exactly why Seikuu is currently terrified for their very existence with the fact that he is currently standing face to face with the person who made them a cyborg, 38 years before he was supposed to meet him. 

     Okay, okay, things started out very normal. Go back in time, wearing the disguise, be Seikuu and everything’s good. Start lookin’ for some evil people to crush and pretend to be the Rider who saved that era, fine fair easy. But Keisuke wasn’t supposed to be around. 

     I thought Keisuke was supposed to be overseas during this time? Did I happen to pick the lowly little time he’s back in Japan for my trip this time or something? Does the world hate me? I’m not supposed to meet him yet and he’ll recognize his own tech if I get hurt! What do I do?

     You gotta play it cool. Play it cool. Relax. Relax. Everything will be okay. You just gotta pretend you don’t know him and it’ll be fin--

     “Hello Keisu--...”
