YOUSUKE 〤 challenge someone to a swingset race ( + catch a ladybug)
[from the park playground, sitting atop a stupid elephant slide, this tough looking 18 year old calls:]
Oi! What are you doing here?
no subject
When he hears the voice, he doesn't immediately think it's about him, but he still looks up to where it's coming from.
Yep, totally cool guy sitting on an elephant.
Oh, wait, is it him? Yosuke looks around, realizing that...yeah, the two of them are the only "kids" above the age of eight at the moment. Yosuke is crouched by a few bushes, which probably looks insanely suspicious in and of itself, but... ]
Shouldn't I be asking you that?
[ He's not the one riding the elephant. ]
no subject
[well fair enough tbh]
I was waiting for a friend to help me out with one of those stupid bingo challenges... but he's not showing. I think he fell asleep.
[becomes aware he's on a tiny elephant slide for babies in front of Yu's best friend??? uhhhh]
[hhhRRMMMM]
[if he slides down, he slides down a silly blue trunk. if he goes down the ladder, he admits defeat to both Hanamura and the slide. this will take further tactical thinking]
-- What's your excuse?
no subject
[ He's-...what bingo thing is he doing sitting on that? Really, Yosuke shouldn't be in any position to judge considering he walked around down town with a shark hat on.
But he's still judging. He's judging a bit. Especially because he realizes who this guy is-- ]
That blows.
[ --yeah, he's the guy who totally freaked him out when Yu tricked him into not just attending but joining in on the swim practice.
He's still a little salty. And consequently a little defensive. ]
Me too--I mean, bingo. Isn't that what everyone is doing these days?
no subject
[ok, let's just make a decision about this silly elephant trunk situation already!]
[................slide down the slide. his sneakers squeak on the cornflower blue metal and he lands, a little unceremoniously, in some stupid woodchips]
[pretends none of this happened, standing up and... brushing stupid woodchips off his pants]
...Maybe we could help eachother out, then? I need two guys for my thing.
no subject
Still saw it dude. Totally saw it and your less than graceful landing. ]
Yeah, maybe. That depends on your "thing"?
no subject
A swingset race.
[okay, pants are woodchip free. squares his hands off on his hips]
How about you?
no subject
A swingset race?
[ He raises his brows. ]
Like, to see who can swing highest or jump off furthest?
[ Yosuke's mission, however... ]
Uh...catch a...ladybug. I guess.
no subject
Let's say it's jumping. Two big guys like us are less likely to bring the whole set down that way.
[at Yousuke's mission, his eyebrows arch in amusement]
...I wonder if the heads of Retrospec are actually underclassmen on their summer holiday. Bug catching and swings, really?
[he huffs, shaking his head. this fucking app bruh]
I don't mind helping with yours. There's a sunflower patch out behind the castle that might have some bugs crawling around in it. So, we got a deal?
[sticks his hand out, grinning a bit]
no subject
You...probably wouldn't be too far off about that, actually.
[ He remembers what he saw about Maurice. Poor unpaid Maurice...
Well then.
He's down for bros helping bros.
Yosuke grins in return and stands up, taking Rin's hand to shake on it. ]
You're on! And I'm a pretty good jumper, so I hope you weren't expecting to win.
no subject
[releasing Yousuke's hand, Rin heads to the swingset and... starts stretching. he's taking this comically serious. if he has to do a stupid swingset race, he's at least going to win it!!]
We'll do one practice jump, then sudden death.
[right, he's the vice captain from hell; have one of those toothy smirks]
no subject
[just go with it]
no subject
[ Or...something. Talking smack comes naturally, at least.
Yosuke doesn't need to stretch. He just needs luck. (He never has luck.) ]
Fine, sudden death.
[ Why are there children watching. It's almost like they're interloping on a kid's park. Yosuke watches them a little uncertainly for a moment before he plops down on one of the swings. ]
Yu and I totally did this a few weeks ago. I beat him, for the record.
no subject
Yeah? Put your money where your mouth is, Hanamura. You ready?
[SLAM, feet in position in the shitty woodchips]
3 --
2 --
1 --
GO!
no subject
I was born ready!
[ That's a cheesy line but he doesn't care.
And...off the go! Which means swinging. Because you need to swing before you can jump. But damn if it isn't competitive swinging that is actually making the structure of the swingset creak.]
no subject
Takeoff in 3, 2, 1 --
no subject
[ Time to go flying! Literally! Off he goes into the sunset aaaaand--
--totally doesn't nail that landing! But he went pretty far...is that what counts? ]
no subject
-- I'm not sure who wins. That seems like cheating, oi.
[nudges Yousuke with a foot, poikpoik]
Not to mention asking for splinters in the face...
[kukuku]
You okay?
no subject
Oof...
[ Yosuke slowly pushes himself up, surprisingly without a broken nose. He doesn't look happy, though. ]
Y-Yeah...th-that was just the practice run!
