⚡️: Hi, I’m not dead. I think

- together.

Kanji stares into the fountain, not exactly sure of what his wish is, but he speaks quietly anyway.

" I wish... Teddie lets me rub his fur more often… "

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

" Oh- I uh... "

Kanji blinks a bit, he didn't expect Makoto to agree so easily.

" Ah, well- thanks man. "

He says and goes on to approach the fountain and pulls out a coin out of his pocket. He throws it into the fountain, it falls with a soft splash and he rubs his hands -

[Yuki. @HeWithNoLife]

❝ You know, you wouldn't be the first one who asked me something like that. ❞

Replied he, smiling slightly.

❝ Yeah sure, go ahead. ❞

- people did she scare off with that one?

“ I guess Frank really is a big boy now. “

He places the roly-poly back down on the grass, the corner of his lips curving into a pride full of pride smile as the bug returns on with it’s day.

“ They grow up so damn fast… “

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

Kanji sighs in relief, he couldn’t believe he patched his mistake up last minute. Perhaps it was something he unconsciously picked up after hanging out with Yosuke for so long.

“ Y-yeah.. “

He stammers, still getting chills from Saiko’s terrible stare. Just how many -

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

⚡️: Sorry for inactivity I’m tired as fuck from a week of exams, but I’ll try my best 🙏

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

- your parents, Frank! Ya bad boy. “

He quickly corrected himself with a bigger smile than usual, a forced one.

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

“ Nah, he’s a big and strong man—! “

Kanji chuckles, but he suddenly gets tense.

For some reason, his shoulders got heavy, feeling some sort of aura looming over him. Something tells him he was going to get slapped again.

“ I-I mean.. yeah. Don’t listen in on -

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

- from starting a banter with Saiko every five minutes.

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

“ That’s somethin’. At least you weren’t walking around the house shouting every swear word in english whenever your ma was bothering you. “

A chuckled escape his lips until they form a curious smile once he feels the bug’s tiny weight on his wrist. He wasn’t disgusted or -

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

- felt uncomfortable about it, that wasn’t in Kanji’s nature.

He simply kept his eye on the insect, a smile appearing on his face as he does so.

“ … Y’know. It’s a little bit scary but, I think it looks just like you. “

He teases, like always, unsure if he can keep away -

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

- “ Senpai. “

He suddenly speaks out, his tone and look more court than he intended to.

“ I feel kinda stupid for askin’ this but… could we make a quick wish ‘fore going anywhere? — Kinda wanted to do something lame like that. “

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

Kanji gazes up at the fountain, his eyes darting towards it with a bit of curiosity.

He chuckles nervously.

" Yeah- I... I know how they work. It's not the first one I've ever seen in my life. "

Still, he found himself to be quite mesmerized by the sight of it.

[Yuki. @HeWithNoLife]

❝ It's a bustling place, isn't it? ❞

Replied Makoto to Kanji, hands as always placed in his pockets.

❝ Besides the nightclub there's also a coffee shop, an arcade, you know the usual. ❞

He then pointed at the fountain placed in the middle of the mall.

The old— err.. The younger you would probably be happy to see that you kept your youth and charisma, man.

I-I mean ma’am—! I mean.. forget it!

Ancient Japan, huh… things must’ve been so cool back then. You had samurais and everythin’ right? I’d kill just to see one in action.

[「Ｌｉｎｎｅ」 @Divine_Chains]

You didn't at all, don't worry Kanji...

Mh, yes, I've been around since ancient Japan...I've seen quite a bit since then, I've seen this land change time and time again.

It's hard to believe this is what it'd look like...the old me would've been baffled, hehe...

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

Oh — I didn’t know. I hope I didn’t come off as insensitive… was just curious is all.

500 years, huh? Ya must’ve seen people of all types through that lapse— wait, does that mean you’re from like, the medieval times?

[「Ｌｉｎｎｅ」 @Divine_Chains]

I've...gotten used to it.

And yes, my immortality is a curse...one I've lived with for over 500 years...

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

- was inspecting it from almost every angle. Somehow, he was fascinated by the little being, moreso it’s somewhat cute nickname it’s been given.

“ Jeff? Seriously? Looks more like a Frank to me, or a Chuck. “

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

He didn’t quite get what Saiko was talking about, most of her words went through one ear only to exit from the other.

He was attentive, by all means, he was just easily distracted.

Fortunately, he snapped back in once Saiko held a tiny insect before him. Kanji’s curious gaze -

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

Man, must be real tough for ya…

Wait, curse?

[「Ｌｉｎｎｅ」 @Divine_Chains]

Heh...when you've lived as long as I have, you pick up on all sorts of things, especially the realm of romance.

Hm, yeah...there has been plenty that have been interested in me many times...I always shot them down though. I didn't want to burden them with my curse...

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

Ah, uh… I’ll remember that then.

Geez, you sure know a lot about this, huh? I guess you’re used to it, bein’ a princess and all.

I bet you had plenty of guys try to “ court “ you.

[「Ｌｉｎｎｅ」 @Divine_Chains]

If you're the one who's going to be inviting a girl out you have to have an idea planned out, Kanji.

I don't mind that at all, taking prolonged walks is a bit of a hobby of mine.

I'll let you lead the way.~

[___ 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞 ⚡️ @AmpEmperor]

W-Why do I have to pick?! I thought you were the one training me..!

Argh. Alright. I guess we can just… walk around.

T-That’s not too intense for you, right?

[「Ｌｉｎｎｅ」 @Divine_Chains]

H-Hehe, that'd certainly be an, interesting encounter...💧

Ah, yes...so one of the first things a couple does, is go on a date, there's many ways to do that, a movie, picnic, or even a simple walk in the park.

I'll let you decided what we ought to do.
