Who: A graduating idol, others
Where: A pier
When: 121 Dawn

[ At the Tokyo seashore, dawn comes and paints the sky bright and the water red. A boat has docked there, just for the graduation ceremony. The deck is laid out with tables laden with seafood, one table with a fancy black tablecloth and a ☆ centered on the fabric. A crown sits at the table for the graduating girl, inlaid with red jewels.

A banner above the gangplank onto the boat reads CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GRADUATION. ]

And you know I never do anything in half measures.

[Blue Eyes lands gracefully beside them and Intensity gives Man☆Eater a playful shove in that direction]

Tch. Can't argue with that.

[ he huffs as he stumbles forward in the direction of the push, then climbs up onto Blue Eyes' back. ]

[He gets on behind him as usual. As is the arm he so casually wraps around Man☆Eater's waist.

And up and away they go]

We're going somewhere old school.

[That's his way of asking if Man☆Eater minds or not]

The hospital...?

[ he's not sure that's right, but he can't think of where else Intensity would be referring to. ]

Older.

And not on the map so we don't have to deal with the commoners.

[And true enough, Blue Eyes is headed away from the hotel and all the community upgrades.

Though she is keeping one train line in view]

Hah...?

[ Man☆Eater leans forward a bit to try and get a better look at the scenery below—he seems genuinely clueless (and curious) about where they could be headed. ]

[Looks like Asakusa (if he knows his Tokyo geography), since Tokyo-F now includes the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan area.

It might take them a few minutes to get there. Not that Intensity is complaining about curling up to Man☆Eater]

[ at some point Man☆Eater gives up on trying to guess where they're going—probably not a part of Tokyo-F he's explored before—and just sits back for the ride. he leans back against Intensity and closes his eyes, content to spend the trip there quietly unless Intensity says something first. ]

[He does not.

In fact, he doesn't move much at all until this pagoda in the background starts coming into view.

And then he sits up straighter, urging Blue Eyes to fly up next to the top level]

[ Man☆Eater also sits up when he feels Intensity do so, looking out over the temple grounds. ]

Wow. When you said "old school," you really meant old school.

[Once they reach the top level of the pagoda, Blue Eyes stretches out one wing so they can disembark. Maybe Intensity does have a tiny respect for art and culture as he's just not willing to let her just land on the roof like he does with the rest of everything]

Like I said. No half measures.

[ Izumu, on the other hand, is personally responsible for the destruction of a historic monument.

not today, though—he disembarks nimbly, reaching for Intensity's hand (with the one that hasn't been rendered temporarily useless now that Harder They Fall has worn off.) ]

Trying to impress me?

[Izumu. Izumu, please.

His fingers lace easily with Man☆Eater's when he reaches for his end, eyes flickering over to the other arm lying limply at his side.

(Maybe he really underestimated how unhinged Man☆Eater was. Oh well, all's well that ends well. No need to dwell on that now.)

He tugs him farther into the pagoda.]

Well? Are you impressed?

You know it takes more than a fancy date spot to do that. But it's a start.

[He turns around, walking backwards and reaching out to also lace his fingers with Man☆Eater's dormant hand.]

[ he doesn't have the strength in his hand to return the gesture in any meaningful way, but he doesn't seem to mind that, either. he looks back at Intensity, eyebrows raised slightly in question. ]

[His presses his thumb into the palm of the dormant hand in slow lazy circles.

Yes, he knows Man☆Eater can't use the hand. But does that mean its devoid of feeling?]

[ the hand doesn't so much as twitch, but his soft exhale is a good indication that it's retained feeling just fine. ]

[Oh good.

Then Izumu surely won't mind if Intensity raises it to his lips and kisses the back of it.

Eyes locked the entire time]

[ Izumu's not winning today's staring contest. the gesture is both unexpected and tender enough that he averts his eyes reflexively, face slightly red. ]

[... Cute.

Pleased by the reaction, Intensity continues places successive kisses against each of Izumu's knuckles]

[ after a couple seconds to let the initial fluster pass, he shifts his gaze to look back at Intensity, smirking slightly in hopes of distracting from the flush that hasn't left his face, leisurely running his working thumb along the side of Intensity's other hand. ]

[It seems Intensity is done with the teasing (for now).

And is more interested in pulling Izumu farther back into the pagoda/temple. Away from anyone who would happen to wander down the main tourist path. Not that the probability of anyone coming is too high considered that this area hasn't been restored yet.]

[ fine by him; he lets Intensity lead him further into the pagoda, still hand-in-hand. ]

[Good, because when they are far enough in the shadows, Intensity is going to attempt to push Izumu to the floor]
