but when banri's shoulders are shoved hard enough to send him stumbling back, his vision goes red. suddenly, any fragments of restraint he once had are nonexistent. he regains his balance in a second to rebound with a punch straight to that motherfucker's jaw.

banri holds a hand out behind him in kazunari's direction to keep him back and far enough away. it takes all his willpower to hold himself back when they repeat the same jab, even louder this time.

picking a fight with a random lowlife in front of his boyfriend was the last thing on banriโs mind. he turns to start to walk away when kazu tugs at his hand, and thatโs when he hears one of them make a vile comment that sets banri's temper ablaze.

banri's face contorts with ire, lip pulled into a snarl to bear grit teeth. over the years, he'd gotten a lot better at controlling his anger. but now that kazunari was involved, he's right back at square one.

kazunari goes a little quieter as they pass by. not that he's really scared, but he doesn't like to talk so loudly when there's people about to come over. makes it super awkward, you know?
except one of them bumps into banri, hard enough that even kazunari stumbles a little.

he freezes in place for a second before jerking back, pulling his hand out of kazunari's to step up to the one those words had come from. banri gets right in his face, which was all he was planning on doing unless they tried to start some shit.

the street is empty aside from a couple of guys that are headed down the same sidewalk towards them. banri doesn't think anything of it until they start to get closer, he can feel their eyes burning on them and he hears one of them scoff.

"yeah!" kazunari laughs a little, stepping a little closer to banri. jeez, the dark is always so... dark? well, duh. but he's safe with banri, anyway!
"don't you know? there's lots of scary parts~ i might have to cuddle you a loooot."
ใ ค
banri's defense spikes immediately, and he holds onto kazunari's hand tighter. he wills himself to stay quiet, until they pass by each other and one of the men slams his shoulder into banri's seemingly on purpose, causing him to stumble back.

they're getting into a part of town that banri isn't the most familiar with, there's less people around and the darkness isn't helping. banri raises a brow, laughing softly at the suggestion.
ใ ค
ใ . . there are scary parts in sharkboy and lavagirl ? ใ
ใ ค
that's... kinda gay, setzer, i'm not gonna lie. but it's not like kazu doesn't understand! holding banri's hand like this makes him feel like he's on top if the world!
"let's watch sharkboy and lavagirl," he suggests with a little laugh. "we can cuddle during the scary parts!"
ใ ค
but now, it feels like every time he looks at him, he's falling for him harder and harder.
ใ ค
ใ yeah, it's fuckin` cold. we can cuddle up หn watch a movie or somethin` when we get back. ใ

banri's smiling softly at kazu from the corner of his eye, and he gives his hand a gentle squeeze. over the course of the years they'd been friends, he'd never expected to become so emotionally invested in kazunari.

god, it's hecking cold. it's so hecking cold, but he's all bundled up in a warm coat and a scarf, and banri's hand is warm in his.
"me too!" he sings happily, swinging their hands slightly.
