I'm tired but also wanted to write something quick before perishing for a bit. Anyways, have some friendly bonding with rhinestones. Also, I wasn't aware that this picture below was..... a thing. Interesting, eh?

“ So, explain to me again what going on here?” Aguni asks as he stands in the corner, watching Takeru wait for the hot glue gun to heat up. Takeru looks up at his companion with a smile, and gestures to the table.

“ Isn’t it obvious?” Aguni looks at the table, which besides the glue gun held several new weapons that a group had managed to obtain from some shop, then back up at Takeru. In a bowl near the glue gun was a bunch of plastic and glass rhinestones and gems, shining a little in the light. Aguni looks back to Takeru, who was checking if the glue gun was hot enough yet, squeezing the trigger a few times.

“ So why am I here then?”

“ Well I didn’t ask for you to follow me back to my room, but here you are, standing oh so stoically in my room, watching me bedazzle a bunch of weapons.” A spurt of glue came out the tip of the gun, Takeru grinning excitedly and pulling the bowl closer and examining the rhinestones inside. “ Good question, should I go for a tropical Piña Colada look, or perhaps a simple gold stone appearance? Ooh, better yet, rainbow.” Takeru does a little bit of jazz hands, Aguni just staring at his friend before sighing.

“ I don’t exactly recommend bedazzling the weapons.” “ Why not? I’m sure some of your little militants would love it.” “ I’m not entirely sure about that.”

Takeru huffs, and beads some glue onto a decently sized red stone, pasting it onto the handle of a switchblade. “ Life deserves some sparkle, Aguni. Come on, anything can happen here, no charge or fault for a little fun! That’s one of the rules here at the Beach, after all.” He picks up another stone of the same size, putting it right next to the first.

Aguni just silently sighs, and continues to stand there watching Takeru bedazzle that one switchblade for quite a while, Takeru rather absorbed in this task. There wasn’t going to be anything Takeru needed to show up for in quite a while, so Takeru really could do this all day if he felt like it.

After an hour, Takeru finally finished the first weapon, which Takeru apparently decided to colour in a red and white sort of candy cane pattern. Now he was putting rhinestones onto a pistol, which Aguni believes is supposed to look like a cherry blossom on the side, considering how long Takeru kept looking at the browns for ones of an appropriate size, and occasionally setting aside pink ones for later.

“ Come now, sit down! I’m sure it’s getting boring just standing there~” Takeru chirps as he examines his handiwork of the branches on the pistol, occasionally holding it to check how comfortable it felt. “ I don’t mind standing.” Aguni responds, and Takeru scoffs lightheartedly, gesturing to the couch.

“ Nonsense, this’ll take forever, and standing that entire time and not enjoying yourself just sounds like a bore. Why don’t you drink something while you’re here, loosen up a little?” Aguni politely shakes his head, but he does take up on the offer to sit, although it was just to continue watching Takeru paste rhinestones and flat-bottomed gemstones onto weapons mindlessly. Takeru again offers him some alcohol, but Aguni declines once more.

“ Suit yourself!” Takeru continues to slowly bedazzle things, and Aguni just continues to watch. It was sort of peaceful, come to think of it. Takeru didn’t say much since he was more focused on his art, and Aguni never had much to say in the first place.

More time passes by the both of them, and Takeru proudly holds up the pistol. It was now covered muzzle to handle with small and medium stones that caught the light hitting them, and Aguni could easily notice the brown branches and pink stones meant to be the blossoms against the simplistic red base. “ Look at this, Aguni! Isn’t it a stud?” Aguni offers a small grunt as a reply, and that was all Takeru needed, setting it aside so it could completely dry. Takeru looks at Aguni with a smile, Aguni looking back at his friend.

“ Wanna at least try one? Come on, it’s easy for the mind! Let your brain spill out all over the ground and into the gems!" Aguni was just about to deny him again, but Takeru wasn’t having it, handing him a knife, Aguni recognizing it as a balisong. He idly swings it open with one hand, staring at the sharp edge, when Takeru hands him the bowl, still smiling like a dork. “ Come on! Join me in the bedazzlement!”

Aguni looks to his friend, then down at the weapon and small stones. Takeru scoots the gun so that it rested a little closer to Aguni whenever he needed it, now onto making a rifle into what seemed to start with pink at the top.

Aguni quickly shuts the knife, and with a slightly defeated but amused sigh, he picks up a small blue gem and grabs the glue gun, applying a bead onto the back and sticking it to the knife’s handle carefully.

“ That’s the spirit, Aguni!” Takeru chirps happily despite not looking up even once, too busy finding more pink rhinestones. Aguni just roughly hums, and slowly bedazzles a knife next to his friend.

As friends do.
