[deto]

I just wanna see what’ll happen. If the cafe doesn’t work out, we can always do something else. Feels like we can do anything together and it’ll be fun.

[justonezero]

That part's true...

[Up the stairs! He falls silent because these flights are heckin steep and he's gotta focus on the climbing part.]

[deto]

[ a good time for deto to keep talking at him, continue a line of thought from before ]

But you didn’t even doublecheck. Not even once. I think… your memory is just on another level. Or is it your understanding of spaces? Hmm.

[justonezero]

[Huff puff why are stairs his greatest nemesis.]

Not... space. Just clear directions.

[deto]

[ ganba bun ]

Then should I leave it to you to lead us places?

[justonezero]

Um... if I'm the one who knows the directions... I guess?

[deto]

What are you saying? I’m gonna follow you everywhere. Anywhere.

[justonezero]

But I might not know the directions all the time...

[Almost... there...!

Once they get to the landing he's stopping without even looking into the store, hands on his knees as he catches his breath.]

[deto]

[ as far as deto’s concerned, they’re going in the right direction if they’re together. it worked out in the game, so ]

Hang in there, Yoshi. [ patting him on the back, eyes on yoshi first before he peers curiously into the store ] One day your body will catch up.

[ there’s nothing much he can tell from the outside ]

[justonezero]

[Wheeze.]

This is... pretty much how it was before, too.

[Whew.]

Okay! Ready.

[deto]

All your stamina was in your gaming fingers.

[ which is a statement of some sort. deto shrugs

with this type of store, two non-straight guys holding hands is probably nothing usual ]

[justonezero]

[It certainly doesn't seem to surprise the clerk much; they look up from a magazine only briefly before shifting so their feet are no longer on the table, clearly awaiting the presentation of IDs.

Yoshi, meanwhile, has frozen up staring at all the various supplies already visible from the door. It's a small shop, but packed with aisles that are in turn packed with different items sorted vaguely by category. He can already see some costumes...

[deto]

[ then it’s up to deto to tug them into the store proper. he presents his ID card with a blank expression, used to unspoken cues and more interested in everything but the clerk

liiiike ]

Is there a rewards program we can sign up for?

[justonezero]

[He is successfully tugged inside, though he makes a strangled noise when Deto poses his question.

The clerk raises an eyebrow. The answer, apparently, is no.]

[deto]

Okay, but - birthday discount?

[ just covering his bases when it comes to saving money. the clerk remains unmoved, however. as if they’ll be here that often for birthdays to even matter ]

I think the store owners should consider it.

[ but then he gets distracted by the costumes yoshi had glimpsed earlier, and he turns to make a beeline for them ]

[justonezero]

[Yoshi still has to present his ID so he'll just. Do that. And also murmur a couple apologies for all the questions.

Once that's done with, he locates Deto again to rejoin him, face still pink from their surroundings.]

What did you find?

[deto]

This one has… a lot of straps.

[ it’s a bondage bunny costume. the bunny part had caught his eye, but he’s not too sure he likes all the straps ]

And there’s a maid and butler set.

[justonezero]

[aaaaaAAAAAAAAA.]

Th-that's because the first one's a bondage set????

[deto]

I don’t see the appeal.

[ mostly it doesn’t look comfortable ]

[justonezero]

It's pretty much about restraining someone else so you can do whatever you want with them, after all.

[He's going to die of embarrassment.]

But, uh... I can probably get the maid outfit? Is it a normal one, or...?

[deto]

[ ok bondage is out ]

That’s too… [ hm… ] …selfish. I don’t like it. But I guess other people do if it’s on display like this.

[ as for the other outfits: ]

Looks like animal-themed? There’s a cat one… and a bunny one. Oh, the butler outfit is cat-only though.

[ and… there’s a tail on the back?? what’s it attached to… deto’s scared to check ]

[justonezero]

Maybe it's a trust exercise?

[There........ is not much doujinshi where the bondage is used in a wholesome way........]

It's got to be the bunny one, right?

[Taking a look and-

honestly he should've assumed it would be a pretty short skirt, but the garters and fishnet stockings are still, somehow, a surprise.]

...

[deto]

Where does the trust come in?

[ looking at the garters especially ]

Wow.

[justonezero]

Well... if you agree to get bound up like that, you've got to trust the other person a lot... right?

[Maybe????????

...He's just going to start looking through the maid outfits for his size.]

[deto]

Want me to get the butler outfit, too?

[ though who knows how long it’ll fit. judging by his aching bones, he still has a couple of inches to go ]

I hope so. [ very, very serious and earnest answer from him ] I hope anyone who shows another person that much vulnerability will be respected and taken care of in return.
