♥ Who: Kaito, Shinji, and Kyoko
♥ Where: that shiny new hill
♥ When: Lasdia 7
♥ What: birthday camping!!
♥ Rating: let's go with PG for now


A few days ago, Kaito had been alerted to the presence of a very large hill that had suddenly sprung up fully formed north of the city proper--wow, weird huh? Had he seen it? Might be some neat stuff up there! At the very least there appeared to be trees. Probably an interesting spot to go check out!

He was forbidden from checking it out. Do not approach that hill, young man.

Until today, when the hill ban was lifted and he was cheerfully bullied into loading up the bike with Shinji and Kyoko and some provisions he had been forbidden from helping to prepare, and directed to drive out into the countryside. Once they actually got to the hill, it might be hard to keep driving--were there any roads up there at all?--but it surely wouldn't be too much of a hardship to go on a little hike on this warm summer's day.

These two! Hey!

Kai pushed himself back up while they went their own ways, giving Shinji a playfully dubious look. He wasn't going to survive a little more, bro! Especially not when the little bit more was being handed to him with that little bit of bashfulness. Oh no. What was this. "It'll come in handy?" He wondered, even as he unfolded it.

Oh. It sure would. What a happy orange. "What the hell," he blurted, but it was probably obvious that it wasn't in any bad way. "It's so cute?"

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Ahh, and what a lovely blanket it is. Kyoko's awfully good at making things to fit Kai's interests, isn't she? How nice, what a fantastic skill to have. Shinji will just sit back, watching the scene unfold with a small, fond smile, letting the two of them can enjoy this exchange together.

[daikonrose]

Oh, thank goodness, he didn't think it was too silly or weird--always a worry for Kyoko, knowing her own taste. "I wanted to make sure the sewing machine you gave me would get some good use," she said with a sheepish little giggle. "I think I really know how to use it now!"

[whenyouneedme]

She was super good at making things that fit both their interests, really. How'd she manage to keep doing that! What a dangerous super to have.

"Sure seems like it," he laughed, but he was thoughtfully tracing his fingertips over the patchwork stitches. How long had she been piecing this together? "... It's really nice. You did a really good job."

[hedgehogsdilemma]

It's a skill Shinji simply doesn't have! How wonderful it must be to be able to just do something like this, and look at how happy Kai is with it. Incredible.

"You did," he echoes. A very good job! You should be proud, Kyoko.

[daikonrose]

Kyoko had to dip her head at this point, cheeks pink; they were getting into Too Much Praise territory here. "I'm glad it came out all right," she mumbled, "so you can use it tonight. It should be big enough, right?"

[whenyouneedme]

It was all deserved praise though, to be sure. (Don't go selling yourself short over there tho, bro. You are one half of this happiness equation!)

Kai held the blanket up a bit, seeing how wide it stretched. "Mm, yeah. Should be big enough for all of us." With some squishing.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

(Please! He's just not that crafty!! That's all he's getting at!)

"Might be a bit of a squeeze," Shinji comments, knowing that it isn't the sort of thing that's going to deter Kai in the least. Squeezes are very likely to happen, blanket or otherwise. "Just make sure you get the most use of it, okay?"

[daikonrose]

"Well, it's not like we have much of a choice about that in here anyway, right?" Kyoko's grin was still bashful, though for a bit of a different reason now. It was simply a Tent Fact, coze was going to be unavoidable. "But I'll happily take the fringes, so you should use as much as you want."

[whenyouneedme]

Squishes and squeezes were indeed just Tent Facts. It was very good that everyone understood the facts.

"Sure, sure. Plop it on me and I'll keep you both cozy."

[hedgehogsdilemma]

"You'd keep the tent plenty warm even without it," Shinji teases - having such a powerful furnace in an enclosed space is bound to keep them nice and toasty even if the rain keeps going all night. "Just the edges for us should be more than enough."

[daikonrose]

Something about Shinji teasing Kaito about something as intimate as body warmth right in front of her kicked an extra little flush up in Kyoko's cheeks--ah, hopefully it was dark enough that nobody would see that. And then, what should she say after a remark like that? Shinji was correct, but would agreeing make things weird in this case? Better be careful not to overstep, especially when he was already so kindly sharing everything with her tonight.

"Well then!" she chirped instead, scooting back to fluff the pillows waiting for them. "Are you gonna ask us to tuck you in, too?"

[whenyouneedme]

The tease had gotten another chuckle out of Kai. Yeah, there was probably zero danger of anyone feeling chilly that night. Surely none of this was cause for a bout of overthinking though. Surely not?

Time to scoot towards those fluffed pillows. "What. Did either of you want to tuck me in?" That felt like a more important question.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Please do not overthink, Kyoko, it's a simple fact that Kai runs warm, and that's simply something they should both be aware of at this point. But, also, nobody has to bring it up again, either.

And on top of that, it's apparently time for silliness. "If you're going to ask us nicely." Unless he wants them to force it on him? Is that what you're after, Kai?

[daikonrose]

"You were the one saying to plop it on you. That's basically what that means, right?" Yes, good, silliness. Very easy and comfortable. "I guess that means we have our answer then."

[whenyouneedme]

Plopping it on him was just plopping it on him though. A silly thing for these silly times. But wait, hold on, he lost the thread. Which question were they answering???

"The answer's... yes?"

[hedgehogsdilemma]

"If you say so."

You've chosen your fate, Kaito. He'll leave the blanket business to Kyoko, in that case, and move over toward Kai in order to put his hands on the his shoulders. "Come on, then." Down with you, into those comfy pillows.

[daikonrose]

Whatever question Kaito thought he was responding to, that was the correct answer. Thank you Shinji for assisting in this effort; Kyoko was going to swoop in after him and throw the blanket over both boys. There.

[whenyouneedme]

Kai blinked at those hands on his shoulders, something flipping in his tummy. Oh? "Uhp--"

Down he went. Again! Again, with a surprised laugh following suit as the blanket draped over both of them. He grinned up at Shinji, reaching up to sling an arm around him.

"That's sure one way to do it."

[hedgehogsdilemma]

What? No!! When that blanket hits him, he turns to give a look of betrayal to the one who put it there. No... they're picking on the birthday boy, don't rope him in to this!

But then that arm around him solidly steals his attention because, hey! This whole thing has suddenly become a little too intimate! For the current company!! Please, let him wriggle free of this hold.

"We can get you cozier than this." Tucking him in means a more thorough bundling up, right? That'll be much easier with just one body under the blanket.

[daikonrose]

That look from Shinji was met with twinkling eyes, before Kyoko had to turn to the side and snort as Kaito octopus-armed him down. Jeez. Cute.

She wasn't going to wait for Shinji to finish his escape attempt though. Kyoko was already scooting up to straighten that blanket out and neatly fold the edge below Kaito's chin, whether Shinji was still under it or not.

[whenyouneedme]

Wow, so neat. So dainty. Kai puffed his cheeks out and snuck his other hand out to trap Kyoko too. The octopus would not be satisfied until all were in its clutches.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

No... now they are all trapped........

"I guess that's good enough," it sure is one way to get cozy, even if he's not letting them properly execute tuck-in protocols. This... works. This is fine. He's going to kill them, but it's his birthday, and if that's what he wants, Shinji will take it with little more than a defeated sigh.

[daikonrose]

Oh, it was her turn to get pulled down now. Well, that was fine--he was only taking her to her next destination anyway. There was still a little flush of warmth to her cheeks as she slipped under the blanket next to him, but no resistance.

There was a little giggle at Shinji's surrender. "Sorry--next time I'll let you do it properly."

[whenyouneedme]

The birthday boy was pleased as punch with this whole scenario, unable and unwilling to stop his doofy grin. His heart knew this wasn't quite perfect, but it was still very, very good. They wanted to spoil him, so he could probably be selfish this once.

"I am the most tucked in I've ever been," he assured them both, sounding happy about it.
