A Favor to Dad [Nozomi]

Posts : 1664 Join date : 2014-05-22

Running errands for family definitely became a much withstandable task after coming in terms with the troubled relationship with them. This time, as Shunnosuke’s father, Leighton, went busy with assisting old Mr. Kurosawa in the company, he requested a few things for his child to buy on his name. While regularly these errands were necessary duties related to the company, this time the blonde’s father had a simple request, at least for him: to buy a reasonable pair of dress pants, and a matching suit, along with stylish shoes. The reasons are a bit beyond Shunnosuke’s comprehension. Leighton said it was something for the company, but it doesn’t really suit him to be cheerful about business-related matters. The teen had a hunch, but…he’d wait and see. Or wait for his father to tell him, rather than poking his nose where it doesn’t belong and finding out for himself, which he was perfectly capable of doing, as a matter of fact. In any event, fashion matters are just the type of issue Shun likes solving. And there he is, wandering around San Malarus, checking every possible store and all kinds of malls. If only it would be that easy… With a sigh, he was starting to remember the reason why he’d rather buy his goods on the internet instead…

Nozomi happened to be walking around San Malarus that day. He was stuck searching for equipment to repair the mini fridge that had been destroyed on the way to his house. Well it was more like pieces to be honest. He just couldn't find the right store these days however in fact. It was strange as to how none seemed to carry the right parts that he required. Regardless Nozomi was feverant in his quest to obtain something that actually fit. Though he required tools as well for this.... He didn't have much money for these either. Ah well. As the boy was walking by he would notice a familiar looking young boy. Someone who he swore he knew from somewhere. Was this the same one from the club? He couldn't exactly tell either. He didn't know whether or not to approach him at the moment.

Oh, great! A person on the same sidewalk as him. Though, upon seeing him, Shunnosuke…stopped. Kind of abruptly, but his steps had their end right there. There was something familiar about the boy who met his eyes. Familiar enough to make a nearly imperceptible smirk twitch the corner of his lips, only to end soon as he decided to regain his pace and approach the other. He couldn’t really tell what exactly, memories were a bit fuzzy for him, though a small hunch remained... Anyway, his priority right now is to just find someone who could direct him to a decent store.

— Hello, I’m sorry to meddle in your business but I need a little help if you don’t mind? — Shunnosuke smiled, as if he was saying “of course you don’t mind”, not giving enough time for the other teenager to react properly. — I assume you live around here, so you probably know about a fashion department nearby, right? — Shun said, eager for a positive response. Seriously, he has been walking around. Assisting his father: okay. Being forced to exercise, knowing that’s the least he likes to do: not okay.

As Nozomi was walking he would notice the boy walking towards him now. Hm?He coulda sworn he knew him. As faint flashes of the club and dancing came to mind. Perhaps that was where he had met this young boy and stuff. He seemed to retain a good sense of fashion it appears with how he dressed. Ah don't worry about it. Your not really interrupting anythin-He would say as the boy quickly cut him off.It was as if buttons flashed upon the area around him and the opposite person has slam dunked them into the ground. Not really hesitating at all Nozomi would respond with.Well yeah I live around here. There's a fashion department I believe a few blocks from here. If you want I could show you over to it?He would say responding at the same speed the boy had cut him off with. Goddamnit Nozomi was trapped in this situation now wasn't he. Whelp this couldn't possibly go bad for him right?

Oh, was he going to be escorted to the desired place? How convenient. Apparently he was the same outside the club’s atmosphere. Shunnosuke nodded, smiling satisfied. What are the odds? — Alright then. I appreciate it, mister…? — Well, he had to know the other’s name, no? Not that he didn’t know already, but you can never be too sure. Maybe it’s just someone similar, fairly similar to the image surrounded by flicking lights he retained in mind. Or maybe not…

Well Alright. Nozomi had found himself now escorting the guy to the fashion department. Seemed to look like the type to frequent those places anyway.Well alright No problem then. Uh. My Names Nozomi. How about you?This guy was starting to show signs of recognizing him it appeared. Perhaps he was the same guy he met at the club before apparently?i swear I've met you before...He'd comment as he began walking with the young boy who looked around his age torwards the fashion department. The sounds of the local city bustling around him. Loud as usual and never really quiet persay.

As they began walking towards whatever direction Nozomi set up, Shunnosuke remained not too talkative, following his pace by his side. The neighborhood seemed agitated, but not even that could distract him from his memories. Gosh, why couldn’t he remember properly? Did he really drink too much? Well, of course he did, the next morning showed it clearly, but… — It’s Kurosawa. I’ll make sure I won’t forget it…No-zo-mi. — “Again”, he’d add mentally. The name certainly rang a bell and more than that, more and more flashes. — Really? Tell me where and I’ll tell you if you have really met me before, or if it was just a sweet dream. — He’d answer, humorously, and at the same time a bit dismissive. If the guy said “the nightclub”, bam, it was him for sure. Of course he’d answer that, but one can dream. Should that be his response, Shunnosuke better prepare for a shower of embarrassment. The things drink makes you do…

Nozomi found the boy a bit strangley quiet. The neighborhood wasn't really that pleasant either. It seemed the boy didn't have much memory of him at the moment. Then again when Nozomi had first met him he seems a bit under the influences. Perhaps he had quite a few drinks that day. Resulting in his more open behavior and lack of recognizing Nozomi at all at the moment.Kurosawa...Ahah. I knew I recognized you from before.ShunnosukeHe would say realizing this was the same boy he had met at the club...And frankly gotten a little "close" with.We met at Wave's Peak. Remember? Though...You seemed to have quite a few drinks haha. Though I wouldnt doubt the situation we were in being a sweet dream as well.He would say with a smirk surveying the boy. Yep this had to be Shunnosuke. Oh man. He made a mental bet with himself that Shunnosuke did not remember anything that happened either at the time?

…oh Gaga. Oh Lady Gaga, Nozomi remembered. He even said “Shunnosuke”, a name the teen wasn’t used to go by to any stranger. Now he regretted having said his surname, he knew it would be a give-it-away. The blonde could swear he felt his cheeks flaring at the drink comment. Or the dream comment. Or the mention of the club. Or rather, everything; this situation being all kinds of embarrassing. — So…you found me, as I challenged you to. Didn’t expect it to be so soon… — Or rather, Shunnosuke ran into him. Seriously, what’s wrong with the universe? He did everything he did due to attraction, yes, but he was under influence of the alcohol. “Blame it on the cuervo”, right? — I suppose there’s no use trying to act differently anymore. What else do you remember, hm? — He was curious. Sure, the teen knew what he could have possibly done, but…he had to be sure he didn’t go a bit overboard with the dancefloor craze. Knowing himself as he knew, chances are he did let his recklessness take over and go haywire. Oh well…

Whelp it seems Nozomi put in the right dialogue options this time because the boy would appear as if he had Blushed?Or made some sort of face to nozomi directly recalling him and how he acted towards him. Yes I found you...Without trying it seems.The boy would say as he closed the distance a bit between the two of them. A sure look on His face now. Well Shunnosuke seemed like the type of guy to enjoy confident moves. With how smooth he claimed Nozomi to be on the dance floor.Well you see. I remember I was break dancing like crazy on the floor. I caught your eye and with your looks.You caught mine a bit.He'd give a smooth wink that was nearly unnoticable unless shunnosuke was looking directly at him.We started talking a bit.Said our names and had a little fun,danced,etc. We got a little close if you can recall?He wasn't gonna blatantly say the stuff like how they kissed for a bit unless Shunnosuke clearly recalled it. He was starting to wonder if this was an actual dream...

”Without trying”. Eh. “Well, thank you, Nozomi”, Shunnosuke thought to himself, “you couldn’t possible have made this even more awkward, could you?”. Way to make the blonde want to dig a hole in the concrete and bury his head down there for the rest of his life. While that’s not possible, all Shunnosuke could do was avoid visual contact with Nozomi as much as possible, trying to ignore the physical proximity they had right now. And just when he thought it couldn’t really get worse, Kichida asked if he remembered how close they were back then… Seriously, it must all be a cosmic joke up to this point. — I…can’t. My mind is quite numb right now. All I can recall this moment is the worst hangover I had in my life the following morning. — Obviously, that was a lie. Well, part of it was: the first sentence only. As for the hangover part, it was the worst true ever. Alcohol was nice and all, a tasty distraction for those who seek some closure, or erase some memories, but it could backfire horribly if you get a little too enthusiastic about it. Sadly, that was exactly what Shun did. Luckily, it didn’t go too much worse than what he pictured in his mind…or did? Would he want to know? — I had to pretend I was sick due to eating more than my stomach is able to take… — Not the kind of thing Shunnosuke would easily tell a stranger, but anything is worth avoiding that topic. He wouldn’t want to turn his back on Nozomi due to utmost disconcertment, but if it comes down to it…

Hm?Are you alright?The boy seemed to have a strange reaction to Nozomi's comment about how their initial meeting went. Perhaps he was far different outside of the club. Then again people usually went into a club to escape their daily lives. That was why Nozomi had been there in the first place anyway. Perhaps the same had been with Shunnosuke?Well Judging from the amount of Liquor you had at the time I'd say it's not a shock you have a terrible hangover.You know I got a good remedy for that if your willing.Perhaps the boy wasn't going to be too receptive to Nozomis offer but he was gonna try anyway. It was naturally in his blood to assist people sometimes on the frank.Pretend you were sick?Is something wrong?Judging from the boys tone and way of speaking something seemed to be besides the headache as they were walking torwards the fashion deparment.

— I-I am fine, don’t worry about me. — Second lie of the day; Shunnosuke replied promptly, stuttering quite a bit… Stuttering? Him? Now that’s a first. — No, nothing wrong… — Actually, yes, there were a few things wrong, starting for his insistence in lying and keeping a confident façade. He knew there was no escape from this, so…be it. — Urgh, fine, whatever. I just couldn’t tell my parents that I was sick due to exaggerating a bit with drinking. I wouldn’t hear the end of it if I were to be honest, and for sure I’d be grounded for life. Go on, you can mock me all you want for being an underage. — Shun said, already coming in terms with the idea that his “older, seductive image” was thrown to the garbage can this time. It’s not like he had too many options in hand to avoid such situation. Well, he had, but…none of them were polite. Plus, he wasn’t in perfect use of his mental faculties and didn’t want to have his flying privileges suspended. All there’s left is for him to pray for a man like Nozomi to not tease him about it.

Shunnosuke...I'm not gonna just shrug this off.I'm concerned about your well being frankly.The boy was now stuttering...Fantastic. He stuttered like Nozomi did as well. Reminded him of when he used to panic often. It seemed the boy was trying to keep something away from Nozomi until he actually began to explain himself.Ha. Why would I make fun of you for that?Doesn't make any sense.It's just your thing...PLus you had me drink a bit as well for the first time despite being underage. I can see why you'd play it off as something else....I don't think anyone would of course tell their parents it was due to drinking. The shit one would get into if they did...Frankly Nozomi knew the boy was underage.Wasn't he underage himself as well?He forgot the drinking age at this point,but probably wasn't at it anyway.Don't stress it. I'm not gonna get all on you about this anyway.Frankly despite the fact that he didn't know the boy much it was showing to be apparent that he needed reassurance of some kind?Atleast he thought shunnosuke did right?

Uh? So Nozomi was also a teenager? The thought crossed his mind for a while, but he easily dismissed it in light of how easily he put on a confident, adult façade, with an ostensible wallet and such. Yes, Shunnosuke remembered it quite a bit. Now, he should be angered, right? Even though he did the same, Shun wasn’t used to being fooled. However, unexpectedly, he…smiled. It was the least he could do to his very understanding acquaintance. — Congratulations. You managed to successfully trick me. That in and of itself is an achievement..."king of the crowd". — Awkward. Not only his personal nickname addressed to the other, but this feeling of relief and gratefulness. — It’s unfair how easy it is for you to get a drink without having your age questioned while I need a fake ID and basically behave imperative for people to buy it. As you can tell, the barman is far from being friendly… — Funny. He could now laugh it off as if it was merely nothing.
