How Jun had managed to worm his way out of the Suou brothers' grasps is anyone's guess to venture. But the slim boy is making his way to the Nexus, a handfull of primroses in one hand, and a bag of frosted cookies in the other. To any of the residents of Sumaru, it appeared that this attractive looking uh...girl? guy? was taking presents to his

Isamu got Jun's text hours ago, but decided to spend that time deciding what to wear. If Jun looked like a girl, Isamu certainly got a girl's vanity. For some reason (cough) Isamu wanted to look really, really good the first time Jun, the real Jun, laid eyes on him again.

Lacking any gifts except for that of his glorious presence, Isamu eventually made his way over to Jun's co-ordinates. "Hey." And then he poses. Okay it's a subtle sexy pose, but still. He doesn't really notice he's doing it .-.

[cross_fortune]

"...?" Jun peers up from his book, a smile flickering across it that quickly turned into a full fledged grin. He's so pale, even worse than usual, and his school uniform hangs off him like it did when he's been a girl that one time...but he's smiling.

He gets to his feet and hugs his friend, recalling only after a second that Isamu was the 'RAWR NO TOUCHIE DX' type. Unless it was sexual. He backs off a step, laughing a bit and then nodding in greeting as though the hug hadn't been enough.

"They look good on you." Jun points out, and by that he means the clothes he'd gotten Isamu for his birthday. He's glad they fit. "Long time no see."

[leavemea_lone]

Isamu ignores the weight loss since he was sort of expecting it. You don't go through hell, emotional or otherwise, without skipping a few meals. Been there, done that.

-!

...Eheh. Isamu isn't one to let an opportunity go by, ever. He gropes Jun for all he's worth, skinny butt and all. When Jun takes a step back, Isamu is smirking.

"Thanks, man. You did a great job at finding my size." Secretly Isamu thinks it means he's been right all along and Jun ttly pays attention to his body~ "It's good to see you again." Being the sort to push the limits of what he's allowed to do, Isamu gives Jun a quick kiss on his uncovered fair-skinned cheek.

[cross_fortune]

"...H-hey!" There's a half second of near flailing, before Jun swats Isamu on the arm and backs off another step. For a skinny runt he can sure hit though, lucky he's only playing around. He's laughing too, so it's obvious he's not too upset about Isamu's ways of saying hello

[leavemea_lone]

That reaction just gets Isamu to grin. It was pretty much what he'd thought would happen, and sure as well was from the genuine-article Jun. Nice to see it again...and when else but now would he let Isamu get away with it?

Isamu would be the first to admit he'd hated the moment that he'd heard Jun had lost. but he was also the first one to know what it felt like to lose, and to be aware of one's responsibility, and choices, that led to that loss. So no...he wasn't about to berate his friend for anything that happened or anything that was said. No matter how much of those actions had really been Jun, well...Isamu was no stranger to hurting friends.

"I know. but there's always an offer." Isamu sits down and gets comfortable (not on Jun as requested) and looks over at the gifts. Heeey cookies! :9 One disapears pretty quickly. "Really? I think my hips are a little... - Nevermind, I'm not going to talk about that like we're girls."

[cross_fortune]

"Pffft. I'm too much of a romantic for you, we've been over this." Jun nurses his injured shoulder while he talks (the other reason he'd not hit Isamu all that hard), before looking up again and watching the other dig into Katsuya's sweets he'd brought.

"Though I'm almost glad someone thinks I'm cute enough to warrant a kiss on the cheek from time to time." He says nothing about the groping. Jun isn't sure if he can manage that one without blushing at what would come to mind. He picks up a cookie of his own and starts taking the frosting off of it.

"So, if we're not going to discuss your she-hips, then what's up? You're looking better than what I thought you'd be like."

[leavemea_lone]

Isamu shrugged in response. Romantic or not, a little hello-thar kiss was entirely warranted by the circumstances. Besides, Isamu would always chase what he couldn't catch.

Cookie #2 is omnomed before it has time to prepare a defense. "Of course you are. You'd get more than a kiss from me if you wanted and you know it. What d'you mean, better than you thought? Expecting a skeleton or something?"

[cross_fortune]

"Yes, but as sad as it would make you, more than a kiss form you wouldn't be the same as...well..it wouldn't be the same." Jun huffs a sigh and decides that the conversation needs to steer off of Tatsuya for at least ten minutes. It would be hard, as Jun's mind seemed to connect everything to his doppelganger, but he would try.

Okay? GO!

Mm frosting. Jun licks a bit more off and then shrugs. "I was expecting the prince of darkness bucket of angst cold stare that dared me to say something to you. Your texts have all been rather upset, so I was all prepared to guilt while you angered. But you're in a good mood, and before I knew it, I was too." Well...a blunt reply! The cookie in Jun's hands must wish it were anywhere but, as he is slowly picking off little bites now and eating them.

What? He's a dainty person, okay?

[leavemea_lone]

The same as what? Isamu, curious as a suicidal kitten, wants to ask but realizes it's probably best he doesn't. Jun seems to both want to talk and not want to talk. Maybe later. When he's ready.

...prince...bucket...

>.<()()

That indeed gets the flat stare Isamu is so good at. It's somewhat ruined because he is holding a soon-to-meet-its-maker cookie halfway up to his mouth B| (This implies that Katsuya is dead/God of Bakery but let's not spilt hairs!)

"...Mm-hmm...Well, I've had about enough to guilt lately." Isamu doesn't particularly need to explain what's going on with Hanatarou, but his statement is true.

[cross_fortune]

^^;;

A nervous laugh escapes Jun in a titter before he leans forward and pats Isamu on the arm. "Sorry, sorry. It's half my fault for being in the same horrid mood since I've gotten out. Misery and company and the like,but I'm glad you're happy and here." He wisely says nothing about Isamu's look turned pouty from the sugary confection about to be horribly slaughtered.

"I know the feeling." He munches on the cookie in complete silence for a good moment or two, and then watches that third cookie..or maybe fourth..say goodbye. "Good stuff, ne? Tatsuya's brother made them, but he doesn't like sweets so I got the leftovers." Well, shit. There went that plan. Oh well.

[leavemea_lone]

"Mm-hmm." Isamu gives another disbelieving hum as he eats his goddamn cookie. Sure, Jun had every right to be in a pissy mood. Isamu didn't. So...enough of that.

"You sure do talk about that guy a lot..." he commented, not really having any intent or secret feelings towards Jun's habit of mentioning his friend. It was just an objective observation.

[cross_fortune]

"..." Tatsuya this Tatsuya that. Jun knows it's true. He sighs and slumps his shoulders. The small bit of his cookie that's left gets set back on the table. "Well...I still love him. Always will. And he's back. I guess I'm happy about it."

He runs his fingers through his bangs, letting that other eye of his be visible for a few seconds before his dark hair falls back in place.

"But I might as well be shouting at a brick wall. He's just as dense as his brother." Jun makes a face and laughs just a bit. "And I'm afraid he'll freak if he knew." This was turning into a real girls-chatter confession. Jun laughs again and shakes his head. "Sorry, sorry. I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to talk about."

[leavemea_lone]

Isamu becomes aware that he has hit a nerve when Jun is silent for a few seconds. Even more so when he puts down his cookie. Ah. Looks like there's something on Jun's mind after all. Shoulda known. How do you guess that you're happy about being in love? Looks like maybe he isn't so happy about it, really.

When Jun flips his hair, Isamu isn't shy about looking. It's kinda funny, how blatant he is. Isamu's always secretly wondered if Jun's eye was wobbly or a different colour and he never really got a clear, close-up look at it. Nope! Exactly the same. That's kind of reassuring and disapointing at the same time.

"It looks like this is what you want to talk about. Guess you still haven't gotten laid yet. You know, if I were him, and my boyfriend just got back from being evil, I'd still be fucking him five days later. Are you sure he's into you that way at all? Is that why you're not really happy?"

[cross_fortune]

"...We never...really...were boyfriends." Jun shakes his head, and if he's embarrassed by either the staring or the bluntness of Isamu's speech he doesn't show it. "We've...we've always been best friends. Since we were kids." Jun's hand trails automatically to the watch, dutifully worn on his wrist. A promise he'd never broken even when he'd lost himself.

"I think...I'm the only one that feels the way I do, yeah. And yes, it's...difficult. But, I'd rather things be like this then for him to be gone again." Jun nods, and he's sure of himself now. He's given this a lot of thought, after all. "I can't...like...anyone else. I don't know why. It's not even close to the same. So I don't mind. I'm not ashamed of how I feel, I'm only afraid of chasing him off

[leavemea_lone]

Isamu pouts a little and rubs his cheek. "I am thinking you'd talk about him a little less if you were happier." Just Isamu's opinion, but it seemed clear to him that Jun had something bothering him that wasn't going away any time soon. Maaaaaybe it was the 'never boyfriends' part. Hmf

[cross_fortune]

"He said I was the only one he liked...just once." Jun says with a huff, though he's exaggerating it a bit to show he isn't upset for real or anything. "I think now it might have been to chase off another girl that obsessed over him. But he does all these...things and never thinks at how other people will see them. I think it's why so many girls like him." Jun laughs and shakes his head.

"I think..I know, really, that if he wanted to we'd make for a good pair. I know all his faults and all his talents...and you know...I've loved him for years and I'm still alright..mostly." Admittedly, it was being disgusted with being forgotten and left behind that had driven him to accept Nyarlathotep's offer. And admittedly, Jun had been miserable when he was alone. But that wasn't being friends that had made him that way..it was being left behind. But he knows Isamu knows what he's talking about, and Jun smiles and tosses him another cookie
