that's not surprising... we might not be from the same japan, but also, we were active in 2001. apparently, everyone is way younger than me, if we consider the birth date...
[ There's a pause. He's getting a bit better at expressing when he wants to do something, so ... ]
I mean, I'd like that ...
[ Even if awkwardly. Anyway, some of the bar patrons will start staring out the window and muttering something about there being two large wolves. Megumi is here, and he swings the door open, leaving the dogs outside (he does not want to bother the bar owner by bringing in animals). ]
(why are there people who believe his bullshit, he's so happy, slamming money on the counter and downing his whiskey as he excitedly makes his way towards megumi.
wants to hug, stops midway, because he remembers...)
[ So, he did not expect this enthusiastic reception. In fact, he rarely expects anyone to be looking this happen to see him. ]
Shin-san -- Huh?!
[ He braces for the embrace that looks like it's coming, and then it doesn't? Shin seems to stop midway, like he remembers Megumi's general awkwardness with physical contact. ]
[ Honestly though, he was feeling touched that Shin wanted to see him in the first place, and this enthusiastic response to him is even more touching? Why is this person happy to see him ... He doesn't know, but it's nice when someone seems wants to spend time with you.
So, Megumi eases up, feeling like he can allow that contact, if it's what Shin still wants to do. He looks away, his face flushing in light pink, and holds out his hands hesitantly and awkwardly. ]
It's ... fine ..... [ Just once, he will allow the hug. Only because he is feeling kind of touched by all this. ]
(in comparison to megumi, shin's so small. once he wraps his arms around him, he can practically be engulfed by the other. it's nice. he feels safe.
unfortunately, with the guitar on his back, he can't be embraced back... which is fine. he'll let it die faster than he'd like, as to not kill megumi's cheeks with redness.)
[ Shin really is quite lithe. With how he was having trouble with some magpies, he doesn't know if the boy will fare very well in Hell at all, At least these few months have been calmer, unlike the way it was in June. Megumi stands there, allowing the hug in his awkward, stiff way. It does end quickly, which makes him wonder again if that's Shin being considerate for his own nerves. ]
I'm just going to take a stroll. Unless there was somewhere you wanted to walk?
[ Outside the door, his two large wolves will walk over to greet the boy, the white one more friendly while the black one more aloof. ]

[ Megumi fits right in. ]
I don't go there very much, but ... fine. I guess they like longer walks.

Do you have any pets?
no subject
i used to live in a celebrity dorm, so we can't have pets. here, i live somewhere really small with a roommate, so i wouldn't put her through that.
no subject
[ ??? ]
no subject

no subject
[ he's impressed. and he's also never met a celebrity ... ]
What's the name of your band? [ he doesn't expect to know it, but maybe?? ]
no subject
but honestly, it's like that.
blast. you can find our cds at the music store, and i can send you stuff if you'd like to hear it?
no subject
Send me a few songs?
[ he likes music so ... interested!!! ]
no subject
sure. here!
(one. two. three.)
no subject
[ Sorry Shin, you get to feel old. Anyway, there is a pause as he diligently listens to all these songs. ]
There's a theme of 'longing' and 'lost love' across these songs ... And I like the way the songwriter expresses their feelings through imagery.
They're all good songs, but Kuroi Namida is my favourite out of the three. [ He understands that depressed and longing feeling far too well. ]
no subject
there is. we are all going through something, i guess.
no subject
[ AWKWARD ... Anyway. ]
I'll see if I can find more of your music on the Hellify app.
[ or whatever the equivalent is for spotify. he does not have a CD player. That's way before his time. ]
no subject
i can play for you, too. i play the guitar, so i can just play as it is.
no subject
[ He'd like that tho? He likes music :c ]
no subject
