Who: OU!Joshua, OU!Neku, other!Joshua
When: two weeks after Neku's Game in Shibuya's time
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: ...Joshua/Neku/Joshua, because clearly, that's how we all roll. And probably variations of the aforementioned pairing. Swearing will be involved, and sex, and the like.
Summary: How about I get back to you on that?
(
What clever text? Kat is incapable of that )
Still, no one belonged in the Room of Reckoning save for the Composer, and a Composer they both were. The same one. And this had happened before, coming face to face with himself. Another Joshua had never landed into his Room of Reckoning, but he was a welcome guest.
So Yoshiya smiled and tilted his head at the newcomer.
"Mishap?"

There was something else, though. Something in Yoshiya's voice that was more than just playful. It was mischievous. Devious. Oh, dear, he was a terrible influence on himself...
"He's probably still a virgin, poor dear. Saving himself for CAT, do you think?"

"I never saw him as the type," Joshua stated, if not a bit histrionically. "Besides, Sanae's far too old for him."
Another impartial shrug, even though that image grated on nerves he wasn't aware he had. M-moving on. "Hmmm~ You're awfully curious about it, though..."

Yoshiya laughed, amused at the thought. He finally dropped his fingers, slipping his hand into his back pocket instead.
"It's a matter that would be fun to investigate, once I have the time."
Reply
Still, the mere suggestion of it all raised an eyebrow. Literally.
"I've always been one for a good mystery," he agreed nonchalanatly, a sparkle developing in his eyes. "And work does get tiresome awfully fast..." He trailed off lesuirely, purposely.

Not that he was complaining. This had the prospect to be the most fun Yoshiya could expect in weeks.
A mystery, hm? Fine then. A mystery it was.
A mystery to Yoshiya how it was possible for this to have never happened before.

"Take it as you will. This is your World, after all," he added on, words careful and deliberate.
It wasn't a surprise, really. He was a master of coaxing people into doing just what he wanted.

They were unintentionally breaking rules just by being here, two Composers, the same man in the same place at the same time...twice. It made Yoshiya's head spin, even though it had happened before and it would happen again.
But, since they were at it, and since it wouldn't be right for Yoshiya to not stroke the ego of his other self while he was already so busy tending to his own, he winked and spoke up again.
"Shall we go pay our young friend Neku a visit?"
Reply
"Lead the way." He extended his free hand politely, though couldn't help but smirk. He knew Neku's reactions to one Joshua well enough, but toss in another variable?
That just made the whole situation a binomial, really.
Reply
"You know the way. Just follow me."
And he began to walk away, leaving the Room of Reckoning for what felt like the first time in far too long. Harm? What harm? There was no harm in this, none at all.
He pulled his phone from his pocket to check the time, though it was mostly to be dramatic and provide aesthetic pleasure to the other. Yes, they had time. And surely, Joshua's ride would take his time getting here. This would be fun.

Once nearing Hachiko, the customary smirk fluttered its way across the visiting Composer's lips. How expected. At least, from this world. He doubted his own would prove this predictable and ideal. It was a pity. A real shame.
"Just like Hachiko himself," Joshua noted with an air of superiority, looking onwards as he approached, shooting his other a surreptitious look. Operation Corner Prey had commenced.

It wasn't something anyone should ever be used to, and he wasn't, no matter how many times it had happened before. There was just something disconcerting about looking into your own eyes without having looked in a mirror; behind Joshua's amethyst gaze was a mind that worked apart from Yoshiya's, though it worked in the same ways.
And while Joshua stopped at Neku's left, Yoshiya crept around to lean over the redhead's right shoulder, simply giggling as a greeting. Oh, it had been too long since Neku had heard that, and Yoshiya was looking forward to this.
Joshua had to be as well, and this...well, this was a first for Yoshiya, and he was actually excited.
"Hee hee."

The Composer smirked, watching the events unfold. Neku's reaction was just as precious and amusing as he had expected, and the amusement couldn't properly be concealed from his eyes. It had been far too long since he had done this. Or rather, he suspected it'd be the last time.
"Hello, Neku~" Joshua waved in mock-greeting, smiling mockingly at the young teen as he spared a look over at his other self, and then back to Neku. "A nice surprise, hm?"
Reply
Yoshiya's eyes twinkled with a light similar to that which was shining in his other self's eyes. His concerns were the same, though perhaps made worse by the fact that this was his Neku. Maybe this would pacify him, at the very least.
He wasn't too hopeful. Either way, he rested his chin on Neku's shoulder and snickered.
"How sweet."
