second trick

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki appears much in the same fashion as he did the first time, sailing out of midair and skidding, but it seems more on purpose.]

Ooooiii! Baby shark! Where the hell have you been?! We've got training to do!

[a pause]

And lunch~! Sumeragi-san is great. [He plops down on a random park bench to eat a well-earned bento, still decked out in Air Trecks and knee-guards.]

[Just... watches. 'Cause holy crap. o-o]

[Ikki is amazing like that. He sets the rest aside for Akito.] A nap would be nice... but I don't wanna keep you waiting, either. [He stands up and stretches.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

You don't have to. It's fine.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

A person's first flight is very important.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[a small shrug]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[a sigh, and then he reaches out to bap Ryotarou lightly] You never pay attention, do you?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[... blink] I do pay attention...

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[headtilt] Uh huh. All right, then. Stand up straight!

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[does so, giving Ikki a curious look?]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[A fangy grin. Ikki reaches down to unlock his back wheels.] Don't get any funny ideas. [Then he zooms forward to literally sweep Ryotarou off his feet. Ikki is amazingly strong, but he also has a lot of power from those A-Ts. It's like he isn't carrying anyone at all.]

[klndkfhsdfn Oh dear lord, the flail is immense in this one.] Wh-what are you..!? [Eep.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Don't close your eyes, Nogami! [It feels like the very air around them is distorting, conforming to Ikki, bending to his will─ because it is. The pair zooms off into the air, surrounded by nothing but space and stars... weightless. And going impossibly fast. Ikki's grip is tight and safe, at least.]

WOOOHOOOOOOOOO!

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[I'm so sorry, Ikki, but it looks like you lost your charge. Or, rather, your charge lost consciousness, somewhere around the flying and the weightlessness and... yeah.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki notices the guy go limp. He executes a rather interesting spin in the air to slow himself, and lands perfectly.]

... That's never happened before. [He shrugs to himself and helps Ryotarou over to the bench, propping him up.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Give him a minute, and he'll start to wake up.]

... nngh?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki crosses his legs and rests his head on the back of the bench, waiting, and very bored.]

I can't believe you passed out.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Looks fairly embarrassed, but this is really par for the course, so he just kind of nods.]

Sorry.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

... Does that happen every time you try to do something fun? I mean, seriously.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

No, just... when something really unexpected comes up, I guess.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

That's the same thing.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Not quite.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

So you're not the thrill-seeker type. People use A-T to exercise and stuff, too. That's how the pig got a girlfriend once...

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... The pig?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Onigiri. Part of my gang.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Oh. You mean like your team?
