[That starts out with a text!

Something that's probably not super uncommon since Kashuu has definitely been sending a few stray coupons Leon's way whenever he catches wind of bake sales or deals or any new sweets shop opening up that looks interesting.

Today, he'll get an advertisement (including directions) that says: Quite Ryeght Bakery's Grand Opening, 10AM. First 50 customers receive five items free! First 100 receive complimentary membership cards, which include discounts and early access to our newsletter detailing new items! We look forward to seeing you there!

But it's a trap.

Kashuu will be there, standing outside of the bakery... WAITING. MENACINGLY. Mostly because he assumes Leon will show, but also because even if he doesn't, he'll still get some free food out of this. Win-win?!]

[Kashuu knows him so well...... So well... Leon wasn't prepared for this at all, quite honestly, and he deliberates over it for a long, long moment before he finally caves. He'll just...go take a look!!! This isn't a commitment. He's not.... making any promises here!!

(Chill, Leon, you haven't even responded to the text.)

So it is that he's...hovering a little ways away from the bakery at a little after 10, shuffling about vaguely and embarrassedly.]

[This punk...

Kashuu spots him soon enough because he's more or less looking for a weird sulky guy, AND LO. With a wave and a cheery smile, he just bounds his way right on over.]

Hey! Glad you could make it! [You didn't set a meeting, Kashuu.] Let's hurry up and go in before the line gets too long.

[Make??? It??? Was this always supposed to be a meeting?? Leon doesn't remember agreeing to this--]

What are you--

[UGH Kashuu just steamrolling right onwards.]

W-what are you-- it isn't as though I'm interested in this! [sure]

[CAN'T STOP THE STEAMROLL he's ready, as always, to crush all tsuns in his path.]

Sure, sure- [Waves a hand!! So... so believable, Leon. But it's okay, he'll spare this dumbo.]

Stand in line with me, then! I hate waiting in lines by myself. I mean, you're already here anyway, yeah?

[... why this, Kashuu... but if it's just standing in line, so long as kashuu knows that he totally doesn't want these sweets--]

... Fine.

[A long-suffering sigh.]

If you insist, I suppose since I am already here, it won't be too troublesome. [he wants the sweets.]

[SUCCESS. It's only a matter of time before he successfully wrangles Leon into getting his own bag, too...

But for now, he's just content to beckon this punk forward and cheerfully step his way over to the line that's already forming. Fortunately, it's not so popular that they've already hit the 50 person mark.]

Thank yooou! You can help me pick out which ones to get, too. I don't really eat sweets a lot.

[Shhh...... For now, he's just content to stand there in line, because from what he can see... actually, what can he see?

... Wait.]

If you do not eat sweets often, why are you here? For that matter, why do you keep sending me that information about deals on them?

[ur dense, leon]

[GOODIE BAGS FOR LEON...

Wow, though. He glances back, both brows arched, but he's not reading anything in Leon's expression that says "I'm purposely being dense" which is incredible in and of itself, honestly. IGNORING THE FIRST QUESTION, but for the second:]

You use them, right? The coupons and those other things.

I-- I do not! Don't assume...!

[Ah yes, he's spluttering...

(He does use some of them.)]

Just a "yes" or "no" is fine.

[No need to work yourself up into a spitting frenzy, puffed-up cat Leon!!]

Anyway, if it's a hassle, you can always set 'em to go to your spam folder instead. [Ah, but he's not offering to stop sending them...]

I don't.

[So there.

(It's a lie.)]

... [So. Yeah. A-ahem.

"But young master, you--"]

Shut up, Chal.

[Leon sure does try hard for all the wrong things.]

Shouldn't you let him finish what he was saying...? [And Kashuu is a punk, more news at 11.]

He wasn't saying anything important!

[Ouch, Leon, that kind of hurts... well, Chal's used to it, but still.

Why you gotta be like that, Leon.]

Geez, you must really like this guy to handle that kinda talk all the time.

[He's just talking to Chal now... LORD.]

[Lord is right... It takes Chal a moment to respond, because well, Leon's being fussy, but being legitimately addressed means he does speak even so.

"Of course I do! The young master is my only master...and even if he does get this way sometimes, he's a good person--"

CHAL..... STOP BEING EMBARRASSING. Leon doesn't cut him off this time, but he does scoff, crossing his arms uncomfortably and looking away.]

The honest opinion of a good sword is the best!

[Especially when it results in Leon being embarrassed... CUTE. Ah, he loves this duo.]

That's not so bad to hear, right?

[Rude.... rude!!! Except it's true, Chal's totally adorable and it's awful, and Leon can never handle it.]

It-- [Isn't, no. Chal is his partner, after all, and has been with him since he was very young, and Leon's quiet for a long moment before:]

--Naturally, Chal and I have a goal we are going to accomplish. [Or...rather, did. But he's still proud of Chal, and everything they managed together.]

That cannot be ignored.

You sure do use a lot of words to say things that most people could say in like, two.

[Or even one. Just say "no", Leon!! Gosh... It must be exhausting to be this full of tsuntsun all the time, Kashuu's almost impressed that he can sustain himself.

That said, they're drawing closer to the front of the line now and the glass display case is actually visible.]

So! Are you gonna help me pick?

[Why you gotta point it out, Kashuu... why you gotta. Chaltier breathes out an amused breath of air, too, but before Leon can actually say anything to either of the pain in the ass swords, they're right there towards the front of the line and his attention is snagged.

Oh......]

... Perhaps the strawberry pastry--or the lemon pudding cake...

[All of these look so good what the hell??

... wait.]

... I-if I was going by appearance alone, I suppose...!

[This is almost painful to hear. How does Chal manage to stay by Leon's side 24/7 without bursting into constant gigglefits over his incredible case of tsunitis?? Kashuu's already struggling to keep it in...]

That one does look really nice! Hey, what about those teacakes over there? Ooh, or the eclairs! D'you think any of those look nice?

[They get five free items, after all!! Ten technically, since they're two separate people, but who needs ten free desserts. Who could even eat that many??

Leon, perhaps.]

[Chal's had a lot of practice... a lot of practice. But Leon answers automatically without thinking about it, once he sees those eclairs.]

Yes, the eclairs would go nicely with--

[.............]

--I suppose, for those who like such things, eclairs would go well with tea.

[This is just agonizing, Leon, stop.]

[This is the hardest struggle he's ever faced...]

O-kay! Anything else? I wanna be super thorough and try out everything you think looks best! —If you like strawberries, how do you think those dome mousses look?

[Why are you doing this to him, Kashuu... are you just enjoying his agony.]

They look--[...delicious..... he wants them...] --tolerable.

[Uh huh.]

[It would be a lie to say he isn't enjoying it at least a little...]

O-kay! So the dome, eclair, that strawberry pastry, the lemon pudding cake, aaand... Oh! Why don't we try one of those? [He says, pointing... Also "we"?!

But alas, before Leon has a chance to get fussy over that, Kashuu's up at the front of the line... He points to all of the mentioned items and then holds two fingers up.]

Hi! Could I get two of each of those? I'm picking for my friend, too. [And then he points to Leon... FRIEND.] Thanks!
