[Whatever, Leon's over it.]

I told you to put a shirt on. Find a solution for yourself or I will find one for you.

[Snip. Snip.]

[majinken]

[wow, this is so rude.]

Leoooonnnnnn! [obviously, the solution is to whine about it.]

[discard]

I am not going to repeat myself.

[PUT A SHIRT ON.]

[majinken]

[but leeeeeeeeeeeeooooon...

okay, maybe leon actually getting that stern about it does concern him slightly, because he may turn his head and find that leon's grabbed a pair of scissors. he actually shudders a little before going to get a shirt.

...though he's none too pleased when he emerges, because the back of the shirt wet nearly the entire length and it feels terrible.]

There. [like a pouty little kid, that's how he says it.]

[discard]

[Sorry, Stahn... sorry, your bff is a dick.

Leon's not entirely impressed by that solution either (someone for the love of god give Stahn a hairdryer) but he'll take it; he just crosses his eyes, huffing faintly.]

Then we may as well go and stop wasting the day away.

[It's not that late, Leon....]

[majinken]

[if leon wants to deal with the consequences of stahn's hair being bigger, poofier, and more unwieldy, he's more than welcome to get stahn a hairdryer.]

It's still morning. We don't have to rush... [it's kind of funny how the roles have reversed a bit, with stahn being more of a sourpuss right now. his hair is wet, his shirt is wet, and now leon is rushing him out the door.

seriously, his bff is a dick.]

[discard]

[Of course he's a dick, what else is new. You were the one who wanted to live with this asshole, Stahn.]

We do. I would rather not waste time out there, and I already know it is going to take some time to get to the proper shops.

[Though it...wouldn't if you took the train, Leon.........]

[majinken]

[at least stahn knows they're not taking the train. even if leon's being a proper asshole right now, he wouldn't inflict the motion sickness on him unless leon wants to make it a faster trip.]

It's not wasting time... we don't even have anything else to do today. [he wanted to explore for a bit, why is leon in such a rush to be finished!! leon, please!!]

[discard]

Regardless of our schedule for the day, taking too long to get there is still wasting time.

[Leon's always in a rush to be finished... Leon sucks at taking things easy.]

You are too laid-back and lackadaisical in your approach to accomplishing tasks.

[majinken]

It's just shopping, Leon. There's not a lot on the line here.

[leon's being incredibly dramatic about this as far as stahn is concerned.]

This isn't a mission, we can take it easy, you know...

[discard]

Something does not have to be a mission for me to want to accomplish it promptly and without unnecessary delays.

[Leon is still Leon, what else is new.]

Not all of us are content to treat our daily tasks so carelessly.

[majinken]

[he's being such a grumpy ass about this and the fact that his hair and clothes are still wet even as they're rushing out of the apartment means he's a little more sour about things than he'd normally be.]

Do you ever so something just because it's fun? It's okay to go shopping without treating it like a job.

[discard]

[They're sour together, it's amazing.

This is what happens when Stahn isn't aggressive sunshine. Because how do you........have fun....]

... Of course not. [??? He says that almost too easily.] The reason we are going shopping is because we need more supplies.

[A huff.]

That is all there is to it. Whether or not it is enjoyable has nothing to do with the situation at hand.

[majinken]

[leon really is the king of "no fun allowed." sure, he knows that leon isn't exactly chomping at the bit to look for a good time, but to say he never does anything just because he enjoys it...

well, it's kind of sad, honestly.

it kind of makes it hard for stahn to stay angry, because he knows that leon had a hard life—things like this just bring it all back into perspective how hard things were. hugo never let him have fun; that's why he could be such an esteemed knight by 16. a master swordsman with swordian... something's gotta give.]

I think that'll change today! We'll just have to make in enjoyable! [he says it with a grin... talk about mood whiplash. but once stahn makes up his mind, there's not much changing it. they'll have a good outing, and they'll find some fun stuff along the way. stahn has decided that, which means he can instantly brighten up and leave behind some of that grumpiness.

it's a good thing, and it's something he can do for leon.]

[discard]

[And, just like that, Stahn's back to being aggressive sunshine. Leon's never entirely sure what the switch is to flick that on, but... well, admittedly he doesn't mind it so much now that he's back to the way he's used to. Just because Leon's used to it, naturally. Not because Stahn not being cheerful is a little unsettling to him.

Still... it's not like Leon understands this insistence any more than he did before--he's never done anything for the sake of having fun like this, so it's just totally alien to him.]

... Do what you want. [If it'll get Stahn to stop wasting time and keep him smiling like this it can't be all bad.] Are you ready to go yet?

[majinken]

[he may have never done those things before, but stahn's determined to change that. now he's got a goal in mind, and... well, that's just the way it goes. his sunshine is aggressive, but he's also stubborn as hell.]

Mm, let's go! [it's almost as if they never even argued, though as he moves forth past leon, it's probably plain to see why stahn was so agitated. his hair is still all kinds of wet in the back, and there are obvious spots of wetness in the fabric of his shirt in every spot where his hair touches.

which is a lot of it.

because stahn has enough hair to compete with a sheep's wool.]

[discard]

[It is plain to see, but Leon still doesn't necessarily regret his insistence on Stahn wearing a shirt... there just has to be a better way than this. Someone teach Stahn how to make a towel roll for his hair.

For now, though... Leon just sighs and follows, shaking his head to himself. Whatever Stahn seems to think they'll be doing, Leon knows better. They're going to go get supplies, and then return.

That's all there is to it.]

Clearly. That's exactly how this is going to go.

[majinken]

[yes, that's totally... exactly... how it's going to go.

all according to leon's plan.

(when does anything in cerealia ever go according to leon's plan?)

which seems to be working until they step foot in the shopping district; the weather's nice enough that the stores have people out on the streets trying to usher people into stores, offering coupons, sales and... food samples. and this is why they're having pizza bagels samples thrusted upon them.]

Whoa... I've never seen a pizza so small before... [it's so cool...]

[discard]

[Nothing ever goes according to Leon's plans, even in canon.

Which is why Leon can't exactly be surprised that Stahn stops, though he immediately side-stepped the robot and carried on.

A pace.

Another.

He stops.

Stahn's not with him, Stahn's--]

Stahn.

[majinken]

[it's too late, stahn has already stopped excitedly for the pizza bagel, and he's already shoved one in his mouth. good thing these samples are bite-sized, right? the robot is encouraging he takes more, too, once he sees stahn's reaction.]

Mm, it's tasty! [he'll just pop another one in his mouth, and when leon calls his name, he'll take another off the tray and hold it out for leon.]

Leon, try this! It's really good! It's a pizza and a bagel!

[discard]

I'm not hungry.

[Who's surprised... who's surprised Leon is being a difficult little punk. He refuses to take that, looking away with a hmph.

Ah Leon, never change.]

Now hurry up. We're wasting time here. [Ugh.] That is even more quickly than I expected you to start wasting time.

[majinken]

...I'll just take one for him too, okay? I'll definitely be back!

[stahn sure is talking to the robot propositioning him; and he means what he says. he'll come back to get lunch here some other time.]

You can just eat and walk at the same time, it's not so bad! It makes a good snack before lunch. [he'll finally say that once he's caught up. and of course, stahn is all smiles, trying to thrust the small pizza bagel on leon. it's good, okay!]

[discard]

[........ Why is Stahn talking to the robot.... Leon's just going to keep on walking, and then there's Stahn trying to thrust more food upon him. Why. Why.]

I've already told you that I do not want it!

[UGH.]

Stop pestering me with that!

[You need to eat food, Leon.]

[majinken]

[stahn will never stop pestering him. ever. and he'll keep doing so with a sunny disposition. a persistent one, and one that come from a place of concern.]

It might be a while before we have lunch though, right? Since you want to do everything else first. You should at least eat a little something in the meanwhile.

[discard]

[Stahn.................... Stahn why.

Naturally Leon's going to be obstinate and stubborn and a pain in the ass for as long as he can be.]

... Hmph.

[Still... what Stahn's saying makes a fair deal of sense, as much as Leon doesn't want to admit it. It won't do him any good to carry on with an empty stomach... ugh.]

Fine. Give it to me, if that will get you to stop being so irritating.
