Hey there! This is Ren. Uh, the smaller one. Mini-Joker.
You can leave a message after the beep, I guess.
Or text me. Actually, please text me. Unless you're Raven.
Anyway. Do I make the beeping sound, or...? Uh. Beeeeeeeep.
[ Beep ].

"And how do you know it won't be you?"

[fogboundcrow]

"Clearly, neither one of us wishes to concede, so we'll just have to put ourselves to the test." Once Ren steps outside, he'll offer a hand to hold, though.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Ren looks at the hand, but after a moment and a slight flush he takes it. "Yeah! We can test each other."

[fogboundcrow]

"I can always count on you to keep me on my toes." But first things first, the Velvet Room! Luckily, it doesn't take long for them to reach that familiar blue door, and from there, they just have to make their way to Tokyo.

Soon... Soon the real date begins.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Into the Velvet Room...an awkward bow to Nose-sama-- er, Igor-- and into the next door!

[fogboundcrow]

Luckily, Raven already scouted the location, and one trip through the door brings them to the Tokyo Midtown Ice Skating Rink, a nice outdoor venue with plenty of space.

Best of all, it's theirs for the taking.

Curious, he glances at Ren to gauge his reaction.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

He looks around. "Pretty cool..." it's not even a joke. Not intentionally, anyway. "Where do we get our skates...hmm..."

[fogboundcrow]

"I believe they're over..." He turns around, and... aha! There's a counter with a cognition right there. "This way."

He waves for Ren to follow. This really shouldn't take long.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Gotcha!"

Hmm. He looks around. There are some skating outfits on the wall...mmm.

[fogboundcrow]

Raven chuckles, eyeing the outfits as well. "Would you like to try them?"

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"I dare you to try one!"

They're all spandex and rather form-fitting. Mmm.

[fogboundcrow]

"If I'm going to try it, you should too." But, fine. He goes to grab one in his size, and in a very stylish red. Like Feather Hawk.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Lemme see how you look-- ack!"

All of a sudden, Wormwood is there, leaning over Ren's shoulder. "May I suggest that we may see Shiro in a costume, too?"

"...Good point."

"I do know you best," he trills.

Ren smacks him, lightly, with a fond, exasperated sigh. "You do."

[fogboundcrow]

Oh! Raven's eyes widen at the sight of Wormwood. "Well, I suppose it's only fair. He deserves to have fun, too."

And so, after a moment, Shiro materializes with a sheepish smile but, more importantly, in one of those costumes. "Will this suffice?"

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Of course it will, my darling..." Wormwood purrs, easily slipping to stand by Shiro.

Ren opens his mouth to say something.

"You want to try one, too. Don't deny it," Wormwood scolds him, lightly.

"Ok..." big sigh. Ren chooses a costume and goes to get changed.

[fogboundcrow]

A huge blush overtakes Shiro's face, and he scratches his cheek. "A-ah... That's good to know..."

Chuckling, Raven takes his own costume and follows Ren to the changing room. "I don't think Shiro is used to so much attention."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"We'll just have to get him used to it," Wormwood calls as they move to put on their costumes, hands on Shiro's sides.

As soon as they're behind the changing room doors, Ren blushes. "Wormwood really likes Shiro..."

[fogboundcrow]

Shiro's blush only deepens, and he looks down at Wormwood's hands. "W-Well... It isn't a bad thing, really."

It's okay, though. Raven's also blushing as he slowly removes his beanie and scarf. "Well, we really like each other, so that's not too surprising..."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Yeah..." Ren flushes up and starts taking his clothes off, too.

[fogboundcrow]

Off goes the jacket, then off goes his shirt and gloves. That just leaves his pants, so he can slip into the jumpsuit.

He's trying not to peek to much. Trying.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

This is just like when they were in bathing suits, right? Right...still. Ren keeps his eyes on the floor the whole time. He wants to see-- no. Shouldn't. Shouldn't.

[fogboundcrow]

Raven can't help but let out a little laugh. "It's all right. I don't think it's strange."

Once he removes his pants and folds them up, he steps into the jumpsuit.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"To uh. Look?" Ren glances up, shyly.

[fogboundcrow]

"We're going through puberty, and we have feelings for each other. I think it's natural to be curious." Not that his blush is going anywhere soon. "It's not like you're doing anything out of line."

A little glance is remarkably tame and perfectly age appropriate.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Ok...yeah. I do like you." His blush isn't going anywhere, either. One more glance won't hurt...he fumbles with his buttons a bit.
