[ Is that his legal name or the name that Rin has dubbed him. Yosuke wouldn't really want either, to be honest. ]

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.

[gnasher]

[thinks for a moment, deciding;]

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]

[youraffection]

[ Yes, they're super big, super buff guys who could take the playground down! Yosuke will go with that and not that they're gangly teenagers. ]

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.

[gnasher]

You realise leg strength is really, really important in swimming, right?

[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]

[gnasher]

[the dramatic tension is slightly undercut by a group of children playing tag in the distance, giggling happily]

[just go with it]

[youraffection]

Sure, but we're not in the water. You're in my court now!

[ 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.

[gnasher]

[Rin idly finishes stretching out his thunder thighs and saddles up next to Yousuke. this is all very Intense and not at all silly]

Yeah? Put your money where your mouth is, Hanamura. You ready?

[SLAM, feet in position in the shitty woodchips]

3 --

2 --

1 --

GO!

[youraffection]

[ Keep your thighs on your side of the swingset, Rin! ]

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.]

[gnasher]

[yeah, this thing is creaking up a storm. Rin's giving it his all, and he's pretty close to going completely vertical to the top bar. possibly, he's powered by cheesy lines, as evidenced by his yelling, after a while of them pumping their legs back and forth:]

Takeoff in 3, 2, 1 --

[youraffection]

Go!!!

[ 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? ]

[gnasher]

[woosh, a shark in the air, and Rin does (just barely) stick the landing -- though his feet are about in line with Yousuke's ass, instead of where his head is]

-- 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?

[youraffection]

[ Can sharks fly? Apparently one of them can! At least he doesn't land like a dipshit, though. Yosuke, on the other hand... ]

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!
