second trick

[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.]

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?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

That too. But before I had a team, I had a gang called the East Side Gunz. [He's just THAT good.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

A gang?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we protected the entire eastern half of Higachuu Middle School. They called me Babyface back then. I was pretty good at fighting before I took up A-T.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Why Babyface?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Because I could kick anybody's ass no matter how young I looked.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Ah... [that gets Ryotarou curious] Um.. how old are you?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[without shame] Fifteen. Why?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[blinkblink] No reason...

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Okaaayy... [looking around, still rather bored]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Sorry.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

For being a wimp? Can't do much about that. [He's smiling good-naturedly despite his words.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I suppose not. [Just smiles a little back. He's not ignorant to his own flaws.]
