["date" had been the subtext of his not-so-subtle invitation! though "get-together" would have suited him well enough, too. in the end, it doesn't matter; he's just eager to spent a little more time with Kotone herself. and not just because she is a fellow Wild Card]

[they spot each other at about the same time, one of Akira's hands lifting in a greeting of his own. but before he can say anything. . . drama!! one of the House Finch employees snags his "date" (read: "get-together buddy?") by the wrist and drags her inside]


Whoa-- hey! Hang on a second, we weren't--

[and yet, as he rushes in to rescue her before she can be fully kidnapped. . . another employee appears at his back, hands planted against his shoulders as he guides Akira inside with promises of discounted drinks and a night they'll both remember. now they are both caught]

[he glances at Kotone with a mildly helpless, sheepish look]

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2025-04-07 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[it's true! the enthusiasm of the employees doesn't feel dangerous to Akira, either. just. . . a little too much. something to be tolerated, but not something to actively fight against. this is not at all where he wanted to end up-- mostly because going to a strip club with a cute girl feels like a recipe for awkwardness!]

[but they're here now, with the employees giving them polite bows as the shuffle away, wishing them a very exciting and thrilling night of. . . well. this!]

[Kotone grabs at his hand, and he immediately clings to her in return, not wanting to lose her in the dense crowds of dancers and drinkers. this is nothing at all like the quiet-but-busy vibes of Crossroads. it may take him a moment or two to adjust]


Hah. . . well, I guess we don't have much of a choice now.

[there is no way they're weaving their way through this circus to escape through the front entrance. and so, he follows behind his companion as she tugs him along, gaze very purposefully averted away from those pole dancers. IT'D BE RUDE TO STAREWHILE ON A DATE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. . .]

I didn't realize they were going to be so. . . uh.

Persuasive.

[she's right. . . it's not bad, per se. just not his usual choice in date spots. and while he enjoyed the adult-like atmosphere of Crossroads, with is jazzy music and intimate setting, a bustling club is definitely not his scene. though. . . he supposes "new experiences" is the name of the Golden Peacock game, right?]

[. . .]

[Akira's eyes flicker towards the stage for just a brief moment, where he is met with curvaceous lines and smooth skin, against which delicate lace slides as certain undergarments are deposited onto the floor--]

[NOPE. TIME TO LOOK AWAY AGAIN. his gaze snaps back towards Kotone, matching her grin with one of his own, though the red in his cheeks is evident even in the dim club lighting]


S-- sure! [he wasn't peeking no ma'am not even a little bit] I used to work at a bar back home, though I wasn't allowed to serve the drinks.

[Lala-chan was very strict about underaged drinking on her premises]

[oh! two house specials it is! despite working at Crossroads, Akira doesn't really care much for alcohol beyond idle curiosity. the thought of losing his own inhibitions-- especially in a place like this-- rubs against the control freak in him. but. . .]

[. . . a little taste couldn't hurt. not when he isn't alone!! and not when Kotone is so jazzed about it. seriously, her energy is contagious. it makes it hard for him to be mad at the workers who shoved them in here]

[she flashes him a grin, studying his features, and Akira opens his mouth with a clever, teasing quip of his own. . . which immediately dies on his tongue the moment she points out the stripper he had not-so-subtly glanced at earlier. HELP. . .]


Fun??

[oh my god. the mischief in that smile. he's going to die. NEVERTHELESS. . . he musters up the courage to lift a hand and gently boop her nose, hoping to make her go (cutely) cross-eyed]

Fun to watch? Or fun to try?

[play it cool, Akira. play it cool!!]

[honestly. . . her plan is working. it's the first time Akira has ever been dragged into a strip club, much less a club with a new friend (who is, admittedly, pretty cute!) in the midst of a haunted resort that heavy-handedly encourages physical intimacy of any kind. there was no way he wasn't going to feel a bit awkward about it!]

[but Kotone. . . she's so easygoing and playful, sticking out her tongue at him after he boops her nose, and Akira can't help but laugh as the tension fully evaporates from his shoulders, leaving him far more relaxed and ready to enjoy whatever trouble they are bound to get into]


You're pretty brave, Kotone-senpai. [a call back to the conversations that led them here] Maybe I could learn a lot from you.

[Hmmmm, well if you're that eager to t~ry. . . comes the foreign voice of the bar tender, who is sliding them both bright neon drinks. Kotone's is a cute pink! Akira's, on the other hand, is a deep orange-red. also: what the heck, who gave the bartender the right to eavesdrop? There are some private rooms in the back with everything you might need ♥]

Oh-- uh. . . [Akira hesitates, giving Kotone a curious glance, unwilling to answer for them both]

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2025-04-11 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[oof! there's his drink, tucked unceremoniously between his palms. the glass is cold to the touch, and he glances down at the glistening red surface and the glow-in-the-dark straw with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. but at least he does not have to decide on whether he should take a sip now, because Kotone agrees to the bartender's suggestion]

[. . . something flutters in his stomach like a pack of butterflies. nerves, perhaps? a bit of curious excitement? it's hard to say. it's not a bad feeling, that's for certain. Akira's smile is genuine as Kotone drifts closer, as he peers over her shoulder towards the illicit back rooms]


They'd better. I think we're going to need a few to keep our energy up.

[Lala-chan always scolded her customers when they didn't eat enough before drinking! and while Akira does not intend to go overboard-- he probably won't even finish what was given to him-- that advice still lingers in the back of his mind]

Shall we?

[he holds one (damp, from the glass) hand out to Kotone to escort her to the back rooms]

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2025-04-14 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[HELP HE DIDN'T EVEN MEAN IT THAT WAY. . . it's late, he meant to keep their energy up to stay awake and not fall asleep in a sketchy strip club! but the pink on her cheeks doesn't go unnoticed, and for a brief moment Akira wonders if he should stammer out an awkward clarification--]

[but before he can, Kotone takes his hand bravely in hers. . . and they're off! Akira follows Kotone with ease and the experience of a man who has fought and conquered the dense Tokyo crowds, a smile dancing on his lips as he watches his companion twist her way past obstacle after obstacle. Akira has only known Kotone for a short time, but the confident and self-assured way she drags (and occasionally bosses) him around is. . . kind of charming. it's a good look on her. and it's kind of exciting, to allow himself to be swept away with her whims. especially since that doesn't happen with him very often]

[the private room isn't too far away, and with a cheeky remark and a smile, Kotone drags them both inside. she might be focused on the snacks first, but Akira's gaze immediately snaps towards that stage-and-pole combo (OH. . . THE BARTENDER WASN'T KIDDING. . .), with the closet of sexy costumes coming in a close second]

[his heart skips a beat in his chest]


-- stamina?

[oh. right. snacks!! snacks and stamina!! Akira had been so distracted that he missed the way she had let go of him to admire the food. with a breath, he forces himself to relax again, before he meanders over to plop down into the booth right next to Kotone]

No need to worry about grumbling stomachs, either.

[ah, yes. their drinks! Akira lifts his as Kotone says cheers, before also taking a careful sip of the mysterious, glowing liquid within. hm. . . it might actually be a little too sweet for his tastes, but he enjoys the heavy warmth that coats his tongue as he swallows. is this how adults feel when they drink alcohol? it's not so bad, actually]

[amusement dances across Akira's features as Kotone speaks mid-bite; he doesn't seem offended at all by the rudeness, only continuously charmed by her antics]


It's still not my ideal date spot. [cozy cafes, romantic strolls through nature, even just hanging out in his room while shooting the breeze. . . that's how he prefers to get to know his friends] . . . but it's really not that bad.

[House Finch has a bit of a mature air to it, which just makes things more exciting for him]

What about you? [time to turn things around!] What are your ideal date spots?

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2025-04-16 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[the way she asks if the club makes Akira "feel alive" is innocuous enough for Akira to not question it! . . . at least, he wouldn't have, if it weren't for the small hint of something more teasing the edges of her expression, hidden oh-so well behind the upward curve of her lips. he blinks a few times as it fades, thoughts drifting more towards her talks of managing loss, and the faint hint of Death he feels thrumming in his heart]

[. . . he dismisses those thoughts quickly with a shake of his head, gladly offering her his drink as he takes the bright pink one in return. another sip, and-- oooh, this one isn't quite as sweet. the hint of warm bitterness underneath the fruity flavors helps!!]


Mmm. You're right; the person is way more important than the place.

[maybe that's why it's so easy for him to relax, even if House Finch wasn't his first choice of venue]

But I like sharing the things I enjoy with the people I enjoy too, you know? It feels. . . [a beat. what word would he use, here. . .?] . . . well. Kind of romantic, don't you think?
survivaltricks: (pic#13004392)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2025-04-16 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[he accepts the offer immediately]

Sure. I think pink looks pretty good on me, anyway.

[DOES IT, AKIRA. . . but he takes a nice sip of the pink drink again, this time really savoring the way the bitterness burns as it goes, sending a pleasant warmth to his belly. if he isn't careful, he'll wind up drinking the entire thing, and he doesn't want to go that far]

[especially not as he watches the journey of surprise that crosses Kotone's features. has she really never thought about it before?]


Well. . . what kinds of things do you like? [this is a question they can solve together!!] Do you play video games? Or do you like to read? Or maybe you're a budding artist--?
survivaltricks: (pic#14291038)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2025-04-18 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Akira continues to slowly sip at his drink as Kotone thinks, some of the warmth seeping to his head, making him feel light and floaty. the effects are subtle; not nearly strong enough to cloud his judgment. but as a first-time drinker, it's no surprise that they hit him pretty quickly. he has to be careful!1]

[with that in mind, he places the drink aside, leaning forward to grab a mini-quiche for himself]


I sure wish my arcade had done that for me. [she is talking in video game terms to the right person! the social stat grind is real. . . wait until they talk about Social Link rankings] I mostly went there to play crane games and learn how to shoot.

[BUT ANYWAY-- he has an answer prepared for her question well before she finishes asking it. he leans back in his seat, popping the quiche into his mouth, and flashes her a small smile]

A small cafe. Preferably something that isn't too popular, with little booths where we can tuck ourselves away from everyone else.

[he is a COFFEE SHOP AU kind of guy, it seems]
survivaltricks: (pic#13004365)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2025-04-18 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[he would probably still make concerned noises. . . until he remembers his conversation about Evokers-- and parallel universes-- with Minato. that still seems like a sketchy way to summon, you guys!1]

[she casually mentions working at a cafe, and Akira definitely wants to circle back to that eventually, to compare notes as a fellow barista. but first?]


I'd love to.

[go to one together with her, he means. she's right; he is pretty darn picky about his coffee, so he isn't going to settle for some froufrou Birdbucks seasonal drink!!]

There's one up in the Vale that I really like. I'll take you there the next time we get together. [a beat, before he brings the conversation back to its original purpose] Did that help you come up with any ideas for yourself?

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2025-04-18 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[this date has been great so far!! Akira has learned a lot about Kotone, and would like to spend more time with her to slowly peel away those layers and find out what lies underneath. . . provided she is also interested in continuing to get to know him. but she seems to be, judging by the easy way she suggests their next outing location, and that sends a gentle thrum of butterflies echoing in Akira's heart, bringing a wide smile to his features as he scoops up his drink and takes another long drag through the straw]

[but yes. back to Kotone and her favorite date spots! the way she manages to matrix dodge Joker homework with her answers. . . his smile softens]


I think ramen makes for a great date, too.

[even more so when it's her idea. but what she says next. . . the way her smile seems to dim, nostalgic and wistful around its edges. . .]

[. . .]


. . . I wish there was an ocean here. [Akira admits, never once tearing his gaze away from the gentleness in her expression] A real one. Not a virtual one.

[because no matter how real that simulated virtual reality island had been, it couldn't hold a candle to an actual ocean]
