Prepare for Trouble and Make it Double [Kissing Booth Work Thread]

The serene and pleased look on Charles's face once they was more gratifying than he'd thought. Despite any potential vile intents of Shunnosuke behind his decision to kiss him, the android remained...pure and good-hearted as he had always been. He was so human Shunnosuke some times wished he was, like an unattainable wish. Fascination or some mysterious feeling of infatuation, that's what he liked the most about Charles.

"Oh....Hum...", he chuckled, not only pulling back from the kiss, but also letting go of Charles completely. In the Kurosawa's face, a smile. Rather abashed and modest, but a smile nonetheless. "...this is...awkward. Well...I'm glad you appreciated the effort..." Now, if he looked to Brittany's semblance, he'd find a mesmerized face with the widest eyes and smile he had ever seen in his life. Amidst giggles, the girl made a heart sign in the air with her index fingers, much to her partner's chagrin. "Alright, alright, lovebirds! I'm still here, you know? Name's Brit, not "third wheel"!", she said, placing both hands on Charles's shoulders as if directing him to the exit. "You can totally come back later, okay? We'll be open during all the Event, so like, visit us again sometime! But next time I'll be the one to welcome you!", the girl winked to him playfully. Her intervention might sound like a meddlesome intrusion from a nosy girl, but if she didn't, chances are they'd be all day in front of each other exchanging subtle flirting. This is their work, not leisure time...even if the boundaries between them are heavily blur in a job such as this.

"Did he... Did he just ignore me...?", he was baffled. Telos was the walking definition of heresy. How could he simply butt in, converse with Brittany like they're the closest friends and IGNORE HIS EXISTENCE? Him, of all people?

"L...looks like it...huh...", she answered back, slowly opening an amused smile. She didn't know what's funnier, the fact Telos left as quick as he entered the booth, almost like a disastrous hurricane, or Shunonsuke's reaction upon realizing he might not be the center of the world. Anyway, the duo just stayed there, blinking a few times in silence. Because certain things simply don't need explanation.

...

Shunnosuke was ready to pour more vodka into his glass, if only he didn't have two new visitors in this tent. He eyed the first one... A quite good-looking blond guy with a satisfyingly revealing attire. While most would think the suit is outrageous, Shunnosuke thought of it was daring and a blatant sign of confidence and appealing self-esteem. That's a plus in his book. Then, there's the other one and his host-like smile immediately faded away. "Brittany... Are you good with math? I want to know how many glasses do I have to take before I start seeing mirages...?", he said stoically, now glaring at Blaez with a mix of curiosity and annoyance. Brittany, who was busy checking her Twitter through a cellphone app, didn't bother so much with it. Certainly, she was tweeting about how her partner was an alcohol addict and how his foul temper would get the best of her laughter. "I dunno, I haven't been keeping track on how much on drink. But like, I told you to stop, the cust--" The mere vision of Gionatan coming to her booth made her jump out of her chair. What was HE doing here? He definitely wasn't the type to resort to this kind of business, simply because he was the whole package, he didn't have to! Then again, so is Shun, and there he is. You never know what these richies are into. They might have everything and yet feel like they have nothing...if that makes any sense. Perhaps in the mind of a commoner, it does. "Hiiii, GioGio! Oh, I'm just helping him. You know, he's, like, too drunk to manage this tent on his own, so there's where I come in. But what about you? And who's your friend? This must be the luckiest time since I joined this, never had two good-looking guys here at once!", she laughed wholeheartedly, of course the remark was more aimed to the harmless, fun teasing than any intention to actually flirt with the boys. Shunnosuke, however, was nowhere pleased by Brittany's effusive demeanor. "Excuse me, but I'm not drunk. I just...had one or two glasses of vodka, but I'm still making perfect use of my mental faculties, thank you very much! ...not just my mental faculties, mind you", he smiled to Gionathan, leaving it open was to what he truly meant, though it was easy to deduce it was a flirtatious demonstration of interest. As for Blaez, he couldn't care less.

"As impeccable as what lies underneath them...", Shunnosuke smiled in a sly manner, taking more sips of his vodka shot without taking his eyes from Gionatan. Handsome and polite. And surprisingly, a friend of Brittany. He wondered to himself how did the girl didn't go further with him; at least in Shunnosuke's drunk and rather naughty point of view, Gionatan is clearly showing signs of being into her. Then, he remembered how rather dumb she could be at times, to the point she might not even be aware there are indications of a deeper interest here. Regardless, his willingness to comply with the original purpose of the booth was just the chance the Kurosawa waited. "Hold this for me, Brittany, will you?", his smile acquired devilish outlines, as he shoved the nearly empty glass of vodka into Brittany's chest, seemingly an order she took, regardless of how confused she was at his sudden change of attitude. Shunnosuke seemed like a panther ready to pounce on  a prey. And who was the prey? A good-nature Gionatan in a very vulnerable position that would probably allow the Kurosawa to do what he intended to. Gionatan could feel an icy touch on his face, obviously Shunnosuke's long fingers getting a feeling of his skin before the next step: while holding his face with both hands, the teen landed a kiss on Gionatan's cheek, but he wouldn't stop there. "You'll excuse me on this, but the rules specify we must kiss on the lips... If you're not into boys, then close your eyes, will you?" Making advantage of the position, his lips would then aim to lock with Gionatan's. Unless he was shunned away, of course. Then Shunnosuke would just shrug and laugh evilly. That's ultimately Gionatan's call on his reflexes, before Shun move to the next customer: Blaez. Oh that would be even more fun to handle.

"You?..", once Shunnosuke was done with Gionatan, his hands slowly releasing the grasp from the guy's face, the Kurosawa walked over to Blaez, standing in front of him, the vicious smile quirking his lips upwards in a provocative motion. "Exception? Are you that scared of receiving just a single kiss? That's not how you acted back in the club...remember?", one finger touched Blaez's chin. "And as you can see, Brittany is busy right now..." "Actually... I'm no--" "ANYWAY...shall we...?" It was all on Blaez's hands right now. He of course could opt between Brittany and Shun, if the blond-haired boy didn't suit his tastes. The question is: would he?

"Excuse me?..", Shunnosuke crossed his arms. Did Blaez just dismiss him and opted for Brittany? How dare him! That's such an outrageous attitude. Wilson, on the other hand, find it funny how they interacted with each other, giggling a little bit. She never thought gay guys would be so...thorough with each other. Were they a couple in a previous occasion? The hypothesis would definitely explain the palpable yet hilarious tension between both. "Alright then! My turn!", snickering, she placed her glass over some counter in the booth, getting ready for what would come next. She may not be the most attentive person ever, but the animosity in the air drove her attention to the boys immediately, so she couldn't be oblivious to Blaez's lack of disposition to be in that place, as well as the soft blush over his cheekbones. A kiss in the lips was not what he was aiming for, so she opted to a more courteous and gentle solution: holding Blaez's face tenderly, her lips aimed to a different target instead. The tip of his nose, an usual sign of motherly or sisterly affection. "We're done now, see? Don't bother with Shun, that's probably his way of being nice because he likes you! That and he's a little bit drunk, tomorrow he'll have his moral hangover by the morning!" "B-Brittany!.." "You know I'm right!", she stuck her tongue out to him, mischievously. Annoying and toning his ego down was a sport to her.

Soon Blaez and Gionatan left the booth, under the effusive and cheerful wave of satisfied Brittany. The girl seemed exhilarated. "Ahhh, the joy of making customers satisfied with the good work! You know, you should follow Gio's advice. Like, really. Trust me, he's really good at it and he meant well, you should, like, totally stop drinking if you want to captivate more hearts here. Smile, be more friendly, you'll see how it's gonna work!" Shunnosuke, however, just turned his eyes to the side, arms still crossed. Perhaps he was not in the mood to talk that moment...or perhaps his thoughts lingered in something else one of his new visitors had just said... "What? Are you mad because your friend decided to kiss me instead? Jealous much?", she poked his cheek with one index finger, teasingly. "..." "Uuuuuh, I know what's up! I TOTALLY know! You like him!" "..." "AHA! I KNEW IT! I saw it the moment he said "I highly doubt he likes me"! You so totally do! You soooooo jelly right now! Oh my gosh, I made Shunnosuke jelly! I, Brittany, made the almighty Shunnosuke jelly, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!" "..." She kept laughing, throwing more provocations at him, while Shun decided to just keep silent in response. He wouldn't deny he was frustrated at Blaez's behavior, but...yeah, it's better to keep it to himself. Brittany wouldn't shut up if he ever gave her the confessions she was insistently trying to take by force. And he wouldn't forgive himself if he did.

The night would go on and on, as both waited for the new possible customers to come...
