Ichiban's Hawaiian Adventure :D

[jumpthatjump]

wip, spoilers for infinite wealth

Title: Hawaii...2! Pairing: Eiji/Ichiban Words: ~600 Rating: E, for now Part 2 of ?, Part 1 Here Summary: The two of them are re-doing a Hawaiian vacation--properly this time. (Going to the beach)

Next they attempted the beach.

“Tomi!” Ichiban gripped his phone in front of him with both hands, panicking into a blank screen. “What's happening on the beach? Why is it blocked off?”

Eiji hesitated a moment before reaching over and pressing the video button, then taking a step back. 

Tomizawa popped up on the screen, sounding chill and unsurprised to be getting this call.

“Oh, hey, Ichiban.”

Ichiban gave him a winning smile. “Hey, man. So, what happened?”

“Monk seal.”

“…Monk seal?”

“Sometimes they come up on the beach and hang around for a few weeks. They're an endangered species, so it's a huge deal when they have babies and all, which is what happened.”

“Aw.” Ichiban looked like he was imagining the cutest creature. “I kinda want to see now.”

Tomizawa cut straight to the point since Ichiban seemed to go around touching all kinds of animals. “No one is allowed to get close. Also, they're dangerous.”

“A seal?”

“They're huge. They have sharp teeth. You think they're cute and cuddly, but they'll attack you if you get close. They're kinda like you.”

Ichiban gave him a goofy little laugh. “You think I’m cute and cuddly?”

“Shut up. You know what I mean.”

Eiji let them talk some more while he looked over the empty area of the beach. This was good. He'd rather not get undressed, still not quite wanting the perceived attention of being around others. He would have loved it before, would have been more than comfortable showing off most of his skin, but now…

Ichiban appeared next to him, phone tucked away, and not at all ruffled by the turn of events. 

“Maybe we can go to the beachside pool instead.”

Eiji shook his head. “It's fine.”

“Oh, come on. You look like you’re roasting in all those clothes.”

He still had his jacket, he had long pants on and shoes, but he was hardly out of place. There were others dressed just like him. 

“It’s not that hot, really.”

Ichiban took a moment to look out towards the ocean. What was good about being so near it was that there was usually some wind blowing in, so it never felt too warm despite the endless sun.

“I mean, sure, the tropical breeze is really nice, but we’re here to relax and get some sun.” He turned to him with a sudden thought. “Wait, you did bring a swimsuit, right?” Then he perked up at the chance to be helpful. “You can borrow mine, if you want. I brought a spare.”

It was kind of him, but– “I would hardly fit.”

Ichiban glanced down at himself, then over to Eiji, comparing the both of them.

“Change of plans,” he said like they were heading off on a grand adventure. “We’re going to the mall!”

There was something nice about being around someone who got excited over the most mundane things, considering how very small Eiji's world had been some time before until Ichiban came back into it. 

But he couldn't help but be a little realistic when it came to spending, considering he no longer had access to money he didn't earn himself. 

He didn't intend to sound mean when he said, “For someone who doesn’t have a lot of money, you sure like to shop a lot, don’t you?”

Ichiban wilted with a strangled noise, before straightening up with a reassuring thumbs up. “It’s fine, it’s fine. You can treat me next time, how’s that?”

“...We'll see.”

“This is going to be so much fun.” Ichiban patted him on the back, his hand lingering there as they both started walking. “We’re going to get you dressed up…or, well, dressed down, I guess? I guarantee you, you’ll look great.”

Nanba: Hold up, so now it's not just Ichiban hallucinating!?

[talietikasero]

[talietikasero]

[talietikasero]

[talietikasero]

Agent Richardson!?

[talietikasero]

"So. You just woke up on the beach out of nowhere."

"...Yeah."

"Balls swayin' in the breeze."

"...Yeah."

"On top of that, you have no idea how it happened?"

"...No."

"Okay. I'm gonna need you to cut the crap here. I can make up better bullshit in my sleep. Sleep that I never get, thanks to all you Japanese folks running around, needing help or making trouble."

"I know it sounds like bullshit, but I'm telling the truth! And why would I be lying!? I'd just be digging my own grave!"

"Well, at least you're not a druggie. Nothing crazy on your report. Guess you're just another sick pervert. But hey, your country's famous for weird shit. Like the anime porn, or the panty machines, huh?"

"Would you just listen!? I'm telling you, I'm the victim! Call it robbery--grand theft, even! My passport, my wallet, my clothes, my underwear! She did me so dirty!"
