Guys' Night [OPEN]

WHO: Dudes, dude. Bring all your dudely Outsiders, bro.
WHAT: Man I sure wish I could tell you Cracking a cold one open with the boys
WHERE: The Onsen
WHEN: 4/11
WARNINGS: Alcohol, nudity, dad jokes... This'll be updated accordingly

[ A few days after the girls have had their fun (cause girls just wanna have fun), another blanket text sweeps over the Outsiders' inboxes. This time, it's from Kaito: and he is proposing a very original idea that all the guys should come by the hot springs in a few days' time. Gossip and bathing are optional, but an empty stomach is mandatory.

Several pictures of newly purchased smokers, grills, and even a fucking pizza oven can be seen at various points throughout the message. There are also mountains of stacked beer and soda cases. Kaito's apparently going to be cooking enough to feed the whole base, or so he purports.

Where did he get all the money for this? Whatever, it's free!

He also adds in no uncertain terms that if any girls try to show up and sneak a snack, he will send them home with a stern warning and a bottle of water.

If you take him up on the invitation, welcome! It's a spring cookout and Pitmaster Kaito Nagano is going to be serving up enough barbeque to temporarily turn the onsen area into a Texan territory within Japan. Seriously, there's gonna be a metric fuckton of food and booze, and the hot springs will be right there when you're ready to get hot and hungover.

There are absolutely no plans after food. Feel free to stick around and socialize, but you will not be publicly shamed for just yoinking a plate and dip setting. Probably.

Aside from the barbeque, there are some horseshoes and cornhole boards set up (google it, it's safe, this is not a bit it's just a funny name for an american game) for dudes to try their hand-eye coordination at after having one too many drinks.

If you're feeling particularly brave, Kaito's got an ice box full of artificial fish (all the meat's artificial, let's be real) that you can try to attract a feral cat with. Good luck. ]


(( ooc: hello yes i didn't want The Boys™ to feel left out so feel free to make top levels and just get some general cookout social time in with your boyos. make it as friendly or awkward or awkwardly friendly as possible. go nuts. get naked. cause a ruckus. [ insert toxic masculinity here ] ilu ♥ ))

Ah ...

[ he squints, still trying to hear the 'i find him attractive' part but all he gets is emotional statements which he has heard before from several other people. it didn't influence him as much until he heard it from megumi, and — for the first time, he started acknowledging maybe something is off about his mindset when it comes to intimicy. it had always been purely physical to denji, almost as if he didn't care if the person had a shitty personality so long as he could enjoy the visual and the 'feel' of them. it's not like he had a future to share with someone, no long-term plan to date, settle down and start a family(?). isn't this how normal people function? maybe that's why he didn't care, or justified that it didn't matter. he's dead once his time here ends and he's back home.

if only he knew megumi's time here, in this city, is precious as well. ]


... Does it hurt?

[ denji been rejected so many times but he never really 'loved' them in a way that would make him — feel anything. megumi's case is different. ]

[ everyone is different denji, it's okay. there's a blink at the other boy's question, and megumi can acknowledge that denji was probably asking him this because he's concerned about how he's feeling. megumi has a tendency to suppress his feelings or ignore them, so having to confront them directly like this isn't easy. ]

I'm fine ... [ that's his trained response. but is he really? he knows he's annoyed, and he might be jealous that this means he isn't the most important person in the other boy's life. it's hard to acknowledge he has such feelings because they feel so petty and selfish in the grand scheme of things. ]

No, I guess -- I don't like it. Even if ... I also want him to be happy.

[ it does hurt. ]

I think ... you should tell him how you feel.

[ denji wouldn't waste time sugarcoating it, and while he didn't comprehend megumi's discomfort with watching his crush exchange kisses with another — he could tell it was something that would haunt his mind for a long time. from what he knew, they'd been friends for a while and been through so many things, surely a bit of honesty wouldn't be the reason to ruin a precious bond. but, why must he tell him now? when it's clear yuji didn't return the sentiment and is persuading intimacy with someone else.

it felt like a bit of pointless advice, and denji can't even explain it — but, he just knew it was the right thing to do. ]


I'm not saying break them up or whatever, but I don't think you can really move on without getting it off your chest.

[ Matters like these are so foreign to Megumi, he doesn't really know how to respond. In most situations, he's usually the one explaining things to other people. Right now, Denji is schooling him completely with his advice. He's so out of his depth. ]

I do want to stop thinking about it. [ It's annoying and frustrating and makes him feel so petty. Especially when he knows that his number 1 priority should be that his best friend is happy. ]

But won't that make it awkward between us?
