Walking right into the lion's den. Why am I not surprised?

[Liquid's lips quirk up into a smile at the sight of the other man. It's good to see him up and about. Shinji moves like he's healed at least enough to act normal - although whether there's any lasting damage from the wounds, Liquid isn't sure. It's hard to read that man.

He lifts his hand in a careless wave before reaching forward to try to pluck the cigarette from his lips.]

Because you know me. [And a soft chuckle. Slowly, he steps toward the man, going shoulder to shoulder. A public display of affection, completely intentional. A hand reaches into his pocket to get another cigarette, lighting it and taking the first drag.]

Go on, try it. [The cigarette, he means.]

ysobritish July 22 2011, 22:43:17 UTC

...This? Why would I do a thing like that?

[He shoots Shinji a suspicious look before turning his attention back down to the lit cigarette in his hand.]

[And he leans his head on Liquid's shoulder. They're height difference puts it at a perfect position. It adds a casual air, and after their talk about relationships, a little bit of meat called affection thrown to the needy dog. Every day is another notch tighter on his leash on Liquid. Or at least in Shinji's mind.]

Just try it.

[After his talk with Haruhi, Liquid needs this little sign of affection. It drives away the few doubts she had awoken, eases his mind. He smiles just a little.]

I'm not particularly interested in these.

lucycoded July 22 2011, 23:07:55 UTC

[Well it's pretty comfortable, so he stays were he is.]

Have you ever tried them?

ysobritish July 22 2011, 23:10:21 UTC

[Without thinking, he loosely loops his free arm around Shinji's waist. Not restraining, just resting there.]

...I don't remember. Not for about a decade and a half, if I did.

lucycoded July 22 2011, 23:12:48 UTC

[Eyes snap down to look at the hand. His weight shifts from one foot to the other, away from the hand but against Liquid's side. His hands remain to himself, detached during the moment of closeness. A strained illusion.]

Then try it now, tastes change.

1/2 ysobritish July 22 2011, 23:21:01 UTC

[He watches, noticing the slight shift and not minding. A frown graces his face.]

...fine.

[He's hardly afraid, after all. Besides, he'll probably die long before the negative effects kicked in if he's weak enough to die. So without hesitation, he brings it to his lips and takes a drag.]

[-ASDFHJGKHJ WHAT IS THIS, HIS LUNGS ARE ON FIRE-

brb, coughing like crazy.]

lucycoded July 22 2011, 23:38:38 UTC

[The entire room can probably hear him laughing; it's just that loud. Loud enough to double him over, for his arm to wrap around his middle from the sharp pains in his side wound. His other hand is resting on his knees, trying to support himself, to keep his body from falling over.]

ysobritish July 22 2011, 23:42:03 UTC

...You- [Hack cough] -absolute bastard... [Cough] Stop laughing!

[Liquid's face burns with embarassment and he refuses to meet Shinji's eyes. Determinedly he straightens and looks away, forcing his body to calm its coughing by force of will so he can stick the cigarette back in his mouth. If nothing else, it stops him from yelling at Shinji. For now.]

lucycoded July 23 2011, 00:11:36 UTC

[Yup gonna laugh harder. He actually has to lean on the table to keep from falling over.]

ysobritish July 23 2011, 00:13:37 UTC

[And in turn, Shinji gets a punch in his handsome face before Liquid turns to storm off, the cigarette clenched tightly between his teeth as he fights not to cough again.]

lucycoded July 23 2011, 00:29:32 UTC

[There's a crash as Shinji skids back into one of the tables, blood streaking from his nose, a bruise cropping up on his cheek. It clearly wasn't Liquid's full strength, because Shinji's sure his cheek would be broken if it had been. A moment is taken to catch his breath before a laugh rings from between his lips. His heart thuds as a hand fists around a butter knife that's in the setting of the table. A grin breaks out over his face as he stands and pursues.

The knife in hand is ready and waiting, his muscles tense in anticipation of sinking the blade into Liquid's body again.]

ysobritish July 23 2011, 00:34:49 UTC

[Yes, if he had been serious, if it had been anyone else, then there would have been breakages. He hears Shinji's laugh behind him as he strides from the room, only breaking down into a fit of coughs once the cold air outside hits him. He tugs the cigarette from his lips, holding it between his fingers in an unconscious mimicry of the way Snake holds it. His back to the entrance, he takes a few steps into the street, stretching out a hand to grasp the wall for support.

Wretched coughs. How did Snake do this?]
