[saypassion]

What: The Tachibana siblings and Shuuji get drunk and stargaze together ♥
When: Late night on August 16th
Where: Tanegashima, on the roof and beach of Shuuji's family home
Rating: DC for dumb and cute :| G (PG for drunkenness, maybe?)

Kippei: *kneels down on the ground, linking his fingers together to create a step up for An* Alright, Shuuji, be ready to grab her hands. *looks at An, motioning to his hands with a tilt of his head* Up you go.

An: *stares at Kippei’s hands for a moment* Are you planning on blasting me up? *Teases but puts her foot on his hands and extends her hand up*

Shuuji: *takes An by the wrists for a better grip and easily hoists her up with Kippei’s help* Gotcha. *he helps her get settled on the roof before offering a hand down to Kippei to help him up. He’s climbed this roof a thousand times so he could do it in his sleep… and probably would, if left unchecked*

Kippei: *naturally as he has climbed many a roof before, Kippei is able to hoist himself easily with Shuuji’s help, and gets settled beside him* We made it.

An: *Gets herself comfy as she watches Shuuji help pull Kippei up* *pats the spaces next to her* Alright, time to see who is actually good at constellations *grins* *she was not one of them*

Shuuji: *stretches one arm up to the sky* Well, I’ll start with the easy one - there’s Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. But you can’t miss those. *grins brightly at them*

Kippei: *laughs and stretches his arms up to reach toward the sky* No, not at all. But why focus on only the constellations when we could try to take hold of them instead?

An: *snorts and looks to Kippei* When we get down I can cut up some stars and throw some glitter on them~ *looks to Shuuji and thinks* Or just have Shuuji-kun give you an over abundance of star emojis.

Shuuji: *laughs* There’s plenty of those to go around. *he puts his hands under his head to rest back against the roof and stare up at the night sky. Unlike in Tokyo, the stars are visible here - the band of the milky way streaks across the sky* And I already caught a couple stars.

Kippei: *glances down at Shuuji, regarding him quietly for a moment before smiling brightly* If we’re the stars, then surely you must be the sun, for you shine brighter than the rest. *bends his legs at the knees and rests his arms against them, turning his smile to An instead* And I would certainly take glitter stars from my favorite sister.

An: *takes a moment to really take in the view before following the pair along in laying down* *looks between the both of them and shakes her head with a smile* Maybe he’s talking about someone else Kippei~ *stares and blows some air into his face* I’m like your only sister.

Shuuji: *reaches into his pocket to get a bobby pin and then leans over to An to pin her hair out of her face for her* Who else could I mean but you, Ladybug~?

Kippei: *blows some air back into An’s face before Shuuji’s hand comes into view and he just looks back up to the sky. A gentle smile tugs at his lips* See? Of course he meant you.

An: *moved her head slightly to the side when she noticed Shuuji’s hand, a little surprised and maybe a little embarrassed * *brings her hand up to feel the pin* I mean…*stares at Shuuji and looks back up to the night sky * Do you always carry hairpins in your pockets?

Shuuji: … *realizes that it is actually probably not normal for most men to have bobby pins on their person most of the time and this is probably a model thing that he just takes for granted* ...Yes? *sheepishly looks back to the sky*

Kippei: *looks curiously between the both of them, deciding that this was a conversation that was probably best he stayed out of*

An: *grins slightly and nods eyeing Shuuji* That’s good to know if I ever need one. Thanks~

Shuuji: Buuut, more importantly, I have something else in my pockets. *pulls out the bottle of vodka they have been working on from where it was tucked under his shirt and removes the cap* To the stars. *takes a drink, passes to Kippei*

Kippei: *takes the bottle and tips it in his direction before taking a long sip* To the stars, friend. *passes it to An* And to you, An.

An: *takes the bottle and stares at it* To an actual visible sky and to having a good time with the people you care about *still staring before taking a swig and making a face* I blame you both if I can’t actually get down *shakes her head before passing the bottle on to Shuuji*

Shuuji: *takes the bottle back and gently knocks it against An’s arm affectionately* Don’t worry - there’s only one way I’d let you fall.

Kippei: *keeps his eyes trained on the sky as though he was not part of this conversation whatsoever, but… there’s something about how Shuuji says it and the affectionate motion that he catches out of the corner of his eye that makes him smile*

An: *blinks as she watches Shuuji* *takes a breath and puts her hand back on the bottle and pulls it out of Shuujis grasp to take a longer sip this time before pressing the bottle back into his hand * Oh good, then I can drink some more *looks back up trying to identify ursula major or whatnot*

Shuuji: *looks momentarily impressed and delighted before he takes another drink, as well, looking back to the sky* We should do this more often. Get up on a roof and just… be. This is nice. *lazily extends the bottle to Kippei*

Kippei: *takes the bottle back and holds it loosely in his grasp for a moment* It is nice. *turns his gaze over to the ocean instead, the gentle sound of the waves washing over the shore a fine accompanying melody to their conversation* I wouldn’t mind holding onto this moment, either. *looks thoughtful for a moment before lifting the bottle up and taking a sip*

An: *Lets out a long sigh feeling some heat rise to her cheeks, she was going to hate herself in the morning* We could in Tokyo and pretend that the passing planes are actually stars and not hunks of metal. *puts a hand under her head* I just want a nice beach. *mumbles*

Shuuji: *leans over Kippei to take the bottle back from him, takes another healthy drink, and then deposits the bottle into An’s unoccupied hand* Planes could be stars if you squinted enough. But there’s no replacement for this beach.

Kippei: *laughs, already starting to feel the effects of drinking a lot of vodka in a short amount of time* But then you wouldn’t want to go near them, and that seems like it would defeat the purpose of the evening, no?

An: *Looks at the bottle back in her hand and decides that should could do one more swig before pushing it against Kippei* You can’t actually get near a star Kippeei~ You’d disintegrate.

Shuuji: *laughs* It’s not like we’re going to launch ourselves into the sky from the roof. *he considers this critically for a moment, though… his high rise apartment in Tokyo does actually have great roof access and it would be a beautiful view of the city, if nothing else, from up there* Sometimes it’s not about what you see, it’s about who you see it with.

Kippei: I will drink to that. *takes another long sip from the bottle and then just rests it on Shuuji’s stomach before laying down beside them* If I disintegrated, then wouldn’t that mean that there would just be a bunch of little stars littering the sky? That doesn’t seem so bad. *chuckles more to himself than anything else*

An: *tilts her head from side to side* That's true Tokyo might not have stars but the city lights are pretty…*stretches* if by stars you mean ashes then yes. *Laughs* I'm not very feeling very romantic tonight.

Shuuji: *holds the bottle against his stomach and gazes at An for a long moment* Yeah… you aren’t much of a romantic, are you? *he doesn’t need to ask this of Kippei, he knows full well that Tachibana-I’m-Gonna-Become-Stardust-Kippei is a romantic*

Kippei: *looks between the two of them, debating whether or not he should say anything. He has had much alcohol, yes, and that would typically end to blurting out the first thing that came to mind, but sometimes there were some moments that were better off left undisturbed… and it wasn’t like An couldn’t handle herself or anything*

An: Hmmm, Kippei’s the romantic one *pokes her brother's side* I have my moments, it's not like I'm a robot *shrugs with a smile*

Shuuji: *laughs* Nah, I know you’re not a robot. *takes another drink out of the bottle and then snuggles it to his chest* It’s funny how different you two can be…

Kippei: *chuckles* We're similar in many different ways, in particular our tempers, but where we're different we're very different. Of course you're not a robot, An.

An: it's not to say that I'm not a witch *wiggles her fingers In their direction* we're siblings, not clones *grins* though I wonder who's temper is worse.

Shuuji: You must be a witch, you’re magic. *nods assuredly to himself and takes another drink*

Kippei: *erupts into a boisterous laugh* Of course she is. She’s the best. *waves his hand in the air as though to articulate that fact*

An: *snorts and decides to poke both their sides* You two need to shut up * laughs* might have to curse you both, I'll have you know I learned much from my Ravenclaw days

Shuuji: *waves the bottle dramatically* Expecto… uh… pa...tronum? Is that how it goes?

Kippei: Petroleum, maybe? *grabs the bottle out of Shuuji’s hand to take another long drink*

An: *laughs again* It’s good enough, could be worse. *brings her hands hands up to touch her cheeks, they were feeling pretty warm* Kippei, if you both keep drinking I’ll be the one to have to take you down *drawls and stares down* Or roll you down…*nods*

Shuuji: *thrusts a hand upwards* Nope! No rolling. We’re gonna get off this roof like dignified adults. *watches An touch her cheeks… so he reaches out and also touches one of her cheeks curiously*

Kippei: The most dignified adults. *doesn’t even notice the exchange going on beside him, just staring up at the sky* I won’t make you roll me off the roof. I’m gonna make you carry me. *similarly, the Kumamoto-ben comes out in full force*

An: *leans her head to the side when she feels his hand and pouts at Shuuji before making a chomping sound with her teeth * Careful I might bite *grins* I’ll break my back carrying you Kippei, you’re too fatttt

Shuuji: *pouts back and lets his hand slip away* I’m okay with biting. I think. *swipes the alcohol back from Kippei and takes a drink*

Kippei: *turns to look at Shuuji curiously* Biting. That’s good to know. *grins* I’m not fat. I’m muscular.

An: *raises an eyebrow at Shuuji* Are you really sure? I can bite really hard *nods twice and pokes at Kippei’s side again* That’s what they all say *laughs and leans to grab at the bottle*

Shuuji: *reluctantly relinquishes the bottle* Why don’t you bite me and we’ll find out?

Kippei: *lost in his own little world again, drunkenly tracing stars in the sky*

An: *takes the bottle and takes a long sip before pulling away and shaking her head again* *pushes the bottle back to Shuuji* Should I bite your nose? I’m worried I might just bite something off, you need your nose for your job *frowns and sighs*

Shuuji: How ‘bout I bite your nose, instead? *takes another drink, making eye contact with her as he does*

Kippei: *starts really trying to focus on the stars in the sky - see what constellations he can make out, and identify others that he is less familiar with. Doesn’t even really notice what’s going on around him*

An:: *pouts and brings a hand up to her nose* You can’t have it *rolls and pulls on Kippei’s arm* Onii-chan, Shuuji-kun wants to eat my nose, I knew it, he really is a cannibal.

Shuuji: *rolls part of the way on top of An to try to “eat her nose”* I’m gonna get it! *makes chomping noises and “nom nom nom” sounds*

Kippei: *laughs wildly, patting An’s arm (back? Side? Whatever) from around Shuuji* Nothing can save you now.

An: *gets into a fit of laughter and jerks around* No! You’re both insufferable *elbows at Shuuji in a playful manner*

Shuuji: *wraps his free arm around her* If we’re both so awful, why do you keep coming back for more, huh? *grins brightly and passes the bottle back over to Kippei*

Kippei: *takes hold of the bottle in one hand and pushes himself up onto his elbow with the other* What he said. *takes a drink* Don’t say such mean things to your big brother who has looooved you and caaaared for you for so many years.

An: *still in her fit of laughter trying to calm herself down but holds on to Shuuji’s arm* You guys are like gum, it’s hard to pull you off, or a parasite your choice *sticks her tongue out teasing*

Shuuji: *also dissolves into a fit of giggles, doesn’t let go* Kippeeeei, I think the bottle is empty.

Kippei: Oh no! *falls into the giggle fit with them* Well, guess that just means that we’re going to have to get more!

An: Kippeeeeeii, you’re not allowed any more *drawls*

Shuuji: *finally slides away from An* Kippei’s right. This calls for… *dramatic pause while he makes a drumroll on the roof* More alcohol! But… we’re gonna have to go back down there. *he goes on his belly on the roof and slides himself down to get into position to help the others down*

Kippei: Kippei definitely needs more. *pushes himself up properly and puts a hand to An’s lower back* You can hold onto me to make sure you don’t fall.

An: *snorts and finally starts getting up and kneels noticing that her balance was the best* I think either of you should have any more *moves more to the edge still not sure if to turn around or just jump* This looks even higher now!

Shuuji: *holds up his hands to her* Haven’t had so much I can’t help a pretty lady out of a precarious position.

Kippei: *steadies a hand to An’s to make sure that she doesn’t slip* You’re fine.

An: *hiccups and stares at Shuuji* If I break my legs I’m blaming you.. *points at him and edges herself off*

Shuuji: *wraps his arms around her waist to lower her gently to the ground… he would happily stay this way, but he doesn’t want to leave intoxicated Kippei to his own devices because it could only possibly end in him launching himself off the roof into the ocean, somehow* See? Safe and sound. No broken legs. *he puts his arms back up to spot Kippei*

Kippei: Ha! It’ll be fine. *carefully lowers himself off the roof, using Shuuji as leverage to gracefully… as gracefully as they can manage while being piss drunk, anyway, get back on the ground* Touch.

An: *shut her eyes for a second but finds her feet touching the ground* *grins and looks up at Shuuji* You’re off the hook…*pokes his stomach* for now *moves to the side so Kippei could have space to move down*

Shuuji: *waits for everyone to be safely off the roof then ducks back inside the house for a moment to grab a few throw-blankets to use on the beach and another bottle for them to split… this time, rum* Guess we gotta just roll around on the beach and drink. *Gives Kippei the bottle, goes out toward the water, picks a spot, and lays out the blankets*

Kippei: Guess so. Can’t complain. Good drinks, good company, good beach. *follows Shuuji to the water and plops down on the blanket the moment it’s laid down on the sand*

An: *follows along, skipping as she could as they made it back to the beach* You didn't fall off the roof but now you guys might drown if you jump into the ocean *takes a seat on the blanket and flops down* ah~ sand is more comfy~

Shuuji: *also plops down on the blanket* I’m willing to take that risk. That water looks great.

Kippei: What are you talking about? I won’t drown. *grins brightly* Have more faith in me than that, An.

An: I do sometimes, all the air in your head will act like a flotation device. *Sticks her tongue out at Kippei and rolls on her side* you two can swim, I don't wanna get weeet.

Shuuji: *looks to Kippei as if on command* Weren’t we talking about skinny dipping? The water’s warm, it’d be a good night for it.

Kippei: *now that they’re all seated, he cracks open the new bottle, and takes a drink from it before passing it to Shuuji* That sounds like a great idea. I’m all for it.

An: *raises an eyebrow and laughs* You really are going to do it then *not that all surprised* Hope no fish come after you

Shuuji: *also takes a drink from the bottle before passing it on to An and then flops back on the blanket to stretch out* What’s a more manly thing to do than to get naked under the stars together?

Kippei: Right? *laughs, nudging An with his shoulder* It’d be manly.

An:*gives the both a look before rolling her eyes* How is it manly? *stares at the bottle* Hmm, should I have more or nooot~

Shuuji: *gently nudges the bottle a bit closer to An* What could be manlier than the naked male form? *sage nod*

Kippei: Right? I agree. *sagely nods in return* Drink up, drink up.

An: *Looks at Shuuji and back at the bottle before taking a swig and still finding equally as unpleasant* I’m calling the big brother inspectors, I don't think they’ll find it amusing that you’re telling your little sister to keep drinking *makes a face* You’re right I guess but I think fighting a bear with just your hands is even manlier. *nods*

Shuuji: But… wouldn’t you be worried if I was fighting a bear? *pouts at her*

Kippei: Yeah, wouldn’t you be worried? *kinda all but stumbles up to his feet, playfully shoving An into Shuuji* Gotta pee. Be back. *wanders away*

An: *opens her mouth but ends up getting shoved and finds herself closer to Shuuji* *pouts at Kippei* Still calling the big brother inspectors on you *can’t help but crack up* Try not to fight any bears, that would probably be for the best *looks up at him*

Shuuji: *reflexively puts an arm around An to steady her and make sure she doesn’t drop the bottle. His expression softens* Yeah, no bears.

An: *sets the bottle to a side and stares at Shuuji* I can’t really picture you fighting a bear. Maybe you can make it succumb with some bad jokes *grins*

Shuuji: *looks thoughtful for a moment, running his hand up her back* ‘Kay - if it’s bad jokes, then how do you know you can purchase a boat?

An: *blinks* You’re really going to? You know I’m not the bear right? *laughs* I’ll humor you, how?

Shuuji: *grins crookedly* Because it’s on sail!

An: *snorts and pushes him lightly* Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’ll go down easily with that one.

Shuuji: *laughs heartily and rocks under the force of her light push as though he has been shoved* You think my joke has a leak?

An: * Yeah it’s not fit to sail and be on sale *sticks her tongue out*

Shuuji: *flops back, again, and just pulls An on top of him* So the boat has sailed from port?

An: *oh she’s not on the blanket anymore and Shuuji wasn’t as soft* *pouts down at him* If it did then it might not come back.

Shuuji: At least the rum is with us~ *grins up at An*

An: *brings her head down to rest against his chest* Hmm, I shouldn’t have anymore I might become manly and jump into the sea

Shuuji: *laughs and rests his hand on the back of her head, instead* If you did it, it’d be beautiful and feminine. I don’t think you need to worry about becoming like a stinky boy.

Kippei: *all but stumbles back out of the house - the bathroom was extremely difficult to find in this… state - and plops himself down on the sand near the house, letting them have their moment*

An: *snorts* I’m a stinky boy when I play tennis thats for sure…*looks slightly up * I still wonder about that, skinny dipping isn’t my thing either way *smiles and tries to suppress a yawn*

Shuuji: *lifts his other hand to rub her back* I think it might be bedtime for you, anyway~ Then you don’t have to see your brother’s full moon face. *grins*

Kippei: *stifles a chuckle at the conversation, and just plops backwards on the sand, looking up at the sky. It probably wouldn’t be long until An fell asleep and then they could continue their drunken shenanigans*

An: Hmm *blinks slowly* I’ve seen my brothers butt before nothing that’ll make me faint. *Is feeling sleepy* You’re not that bad of a bed I guess *mumbles*

Shuuji: *watches her expression as best he can, just enjoying having her close* But you haven’t seen my butt before. *leans his head forward a little so his nose brushes against her hair* You aren’t the worst blanket, either.

An: *closes her eyes and shakes her head with a smile* Are you trying to say that your butt is great? *brings a hand up and first touches Shuuji’s cheek before finding his hair and petting him* Hm...You know your hair always reminded me of a sheep.

Shuuji: *chuckles* It’s a good butt, but I don’t know if it’s the kind of butt worth fainting over. *naturally leans his head into the petting* Mm… ‘s better than Hikaru. He called me a cotton swab, or… something. *his drunken mind is struggling to remember what he was called exactly*

An: I don’t think anyone should be fainting over anyone’s bum, it doesn’t sound healthy *laughs and continues to pet him* Sheep is cuter I suppose, cotton swab sounds invasive.

Shuuji: *tries to take hold of An’s hand on his hair* I liked… when you touched my cheek. *his expression becomes more serious, or at least as serious as the rum and vodka allow*

An: *stills her hand for a moment and cracks an eye open to look up* You did?

Shuuji: *smiles warmly at An* Yeah. That was nice. And this… *rubs her back for emphasis*... is nice.

An: *feels his hand and shuts her eye again* It is but you’ll just make me fall asleep like that~

Shuuji: *speaks more quietly, now* That’s okay. It’s pretty nice to fall asleep under the stars, right? *He gathers up the blanket with one hand, partially covering An*

An: mhmm *nods* it's nice but I'm not really looking at the stars am I? *Looks at Shuuji for a moment with a smile before sliding to his side and hugging his arm* The inside of my eyelids are pretty nice.. *mumbles*

Shuuji: *watches her with open adoration in his expression which he doesn’t bother to try to mask, especially since she seems to be drifting to sleep* Yeah, I think maybe you can look at those for a while, now~

An: The stars would be nicer~ *yawns and presses her head against his shoulder, feeling very sleepy and heavy especially with all the alcohol that she drank*

Shuuji: *hesitates for a moment, then turns his head to press a gentle kiss to her hair* Get some sleep, Ladybug.

An: *is very much out of it and just cuddles his arm even more* mmhmm.
