The Bet
Yo, Yoimiya!
[The booming voice of Arataki Itto resonates throughout the small apartment they share in downtown Inazuma, a loft that came relatively cheap for its location in the city. The buzzing of cars and people passing by the third story window could be heard all throughout the place, walls thin as a sheet of paper. But with it all comes the excitement of the city, and for these two, a plethora of food to gorge themselves on whenever it came time to feed. Inazuma in this day and age has everything to choose from, and food filtered in from all over the world.
It was a perfect set up for them both.
But for now, Itto sits at their small kitchen bar, eating his dino-shaped chicken nuggets that he'd microwaved from out of the freezer. On the plate is some barbeque sauce to dip them in, and he of course is trying to talk to her with his mouth full.]
Ain't it about time we go out and do some grocery shopping? MAN my stomach has been rumbling for the past week or so.
[In goes another dino nuggie, eating them up like they're water.]
If I don't get some food in me soon, I'm gunna shrivel up and wither away! Hey, you think I could talk Shinobu into...I MEAN, ahem, do you think she'd do us a solid and find us a sweet spot to pick up from?

no subject
Hahaha, why would I? You look so cute play-biting me like that.
[With alcohol comes no filter at all, including openly flirting with her. This is a date after all, so he sees no reason why he should hold himself back. It's not like they didn't kiss a little the day before, and he hasn't hid how he's a little interested in her anyway.]
Don't bite too hard though- you should save that for later tonight.
[He winks, clearly indicating that he wouldn't mind some action later after dinner. Maybe when they go to see the jellyfish, he'll make a move on her...he still hasn't forgotten how wonderful the kiss they shared the night before was, and how mesmerizing and mystical her lips felt against his own. He wants to kiss her again, that's for certain.]
no subject
He praised her for it! Called her cute even!! Ajax absolutely deserves a little reward for being so sweet. ]
Save it for tonight, huh...? [ She says with her voice somewhat muffled due to his finger. ] I didn't expect to hear that out of sweet lil Ajax. If a bite is what you want, then I'll be happy to sink my fangs into you, hehe.
[ Ajax, what have you gotten yourself into????
Regardless...
The taste of his flesh is so tempting but Yoimiya doesn't want to make a scene at the restaurant. Instead, she gently bites down on him, just enough for him to feel it but not enough to pierce through his flesh and draw blood. She lets the moment pass to let him soak in the sensation. Looking up at him, she sends him a cute wink before nipping on his finger and sucking on it, just a small taste of what he'll receive tonight. (。•̀ᴗ-)✧ ]
no subject
It doesn't stop his eyes from gaining a small sheen to them as she nips and sucks on it a little, reluctantly removing it from her mouth so they can finish their dinner and go have some fun in a more private setting. Ajax reaches for his chopsticks, so he can put a few more pieces of meat on the grill, before lifting one that's still a bit bloody and holding the piece in front of her mouth so she can eat it.]
I think I'd like that very much, [he says, watching her with endearment.] I rather enjoyed the night before, and I wouldn't mind continuing down that path for a few more steps, at least.
[That's what dates are for anyway. He's allowed to be a little horny, right? Right???? As long as he doesn't jump in bed with her on a whim.]
no subject
Nom. Nom. Nom.
It's good! Even better since he fed it to her. (>ᴗ•) She happily swallows it down and blatantly licks her lips right in front of him, shamelessly running her tongue across her pretty pink lips. ]
Oh boy, do I feel lucky. We just met but it sounds like I've already made a huge impression on you.
[ This time, it's Yoimiya's turn to indulge him. Using her chopsticks, she picks up a slice of meat that's more cooked than the one Ajax fed her, dips it into the sauce, and lifts it toward his mouth. ]
I'll be happy to spoil you for the rest of the night! After all, you are the hero of the day.
no subject
Haha, aren't you generous. I'll accept it~
[He eats the proffered meat right off of her chopsticks, not knowing that they've been making a little bit of a scene with all their lovey dovey behavior. But Ajax doesn't seem to care and just brushes the glances of onlookers right off his shoulder. They're having fun, and that's all he cares about.]
Mmmmm, I guess we should focus on eating this if we want to make it out to the beach on time. I didn't realize how long we've been enjoying the good food and atmosphere together. Let's say you and I clean all of this up and make our way there.
...If you can keep up with me, that is.
[Is this a good idea? No. Will Ajax still eat as much as he can because being drunk eliminates a lot of his good senses? Yes.]
no subject
Buuut, then he makes a suggest she did not expect. ]
Oh? Are you challenging me to an eating competition?
[ She quirks her eyebrow at his challenge, the smile on her face looks way too amused. Sounds like a bad idea since they've been drinking up a storm but luckily for him, Yoimiya is a big fan of bad ideas. ♥ ]
Alright, bring it on. Prepare to get your butt kicked. Don't forget it's not just the meat you have to consume, you also gotta eat all the sides I ordered.
[ Her eyes gesture to not just the huge plates of meat but also the vegetables, miso soup, and kimchi sitting on the table. ]
Think you can handle all of that... [ a beat ] big boy?
no subject
She even meets him on the competitive side of things. It lights a fire inside of him, one that burns bright to prove his skills and for the joy of the fight. Ajax looks so confident as he twirls his chopsticks in his hand (how has he not dropped them yet? Who knows) and resets them expertly as he prepares for their contest.]
Don't underestimate me. I'm still a growing boy, so I need all the nourishment I can get. Let's split it in half- first one done wins.
[He begins to split the meat up appropriately, making it so they have to time grilling and eating in the most efficient way possible while rotating in some of the sides. Naturally, he thinks this is a great idea, and maybe for someone sober it is- but they're both drinking and he doesn't realize how much it's impairing him.]
You ready? I won't lose.
no subject
Ughhhhh, that's it! She is going to make sure this man belongs to her, he's too much of a perfect morsel to let go. Okay, calm yourself Yoimiya, you're in the middle of a competition, she internally tells herself. After inhaling a deep breath, she sets her chopsticks on the table and slaps her own cheeks to direct her focus back onto the food. Now that Ajax has so kindly split their portions, she's ready to him how much of a hungry girl she really is. ]
Ready! On the count of three? One... two... three!!!!
[ Right on cue, Yoimiya picks her chopsticks back up and starts off by popping a few of the grilled vegetables in her mouth. While munching on a vegetable, she notices the corners of the meat curling from the heat. Even if it's not fully cooked, this crazy girl has no qualms about picking up a slice of meat with juices dripping onto the rivulet and shoving it in her mouth. ]
You're... [ munch munch munch ] going down!
[ Don't talk with your mouth full, Yoi. ]
no subject
But it needs to be planned correctly. Ajax immediately dives into his own food pile, eating a bit of the kimchi side while letting his meat cook on the grill. Though the room becomes a blur every time he moves his eyes, he still manages to keep an eye on it to ensure that it gets cooked through enough for him to safely eat, at least. He returns the taunt with a cocky, arrogant look shot her way, as if to say let's see you put your money where your mouth is.
Yoimiya seems to have no issue eating meat that's undercooked, though. His inebriation fails to allow him to realize that this is a health hazard for her, and instead makes it seem like she's got a huge advantage by taking meat off the grill early. So that distraction has to happen now...
Ajax waits until she moves onto the side dishes, something he knows he can eat without getting sick, and suddenly reaches for her hand holding her chopsticks before she can stick the food in her mouth.
He gets in really close, eats the food as seductively off of the pair of chopsticks as he can, lingers a moment too long in the air hovering so close to her lips and looks up at her from beneath his eyelashes...only to pull away and start in on his food again. Sure, eating that one morsel of food might of helped her, but he's doing his best to get Yoimiya's mind off of the food and winning just enough to pull ahead.]
no subject
So for as hot and enticing as he is, Yoimiya knows her pride is at stake, he can't come to her roomie with her tail between her legs. So thus, she begins to formulate a plan to swap between veggies and meat as a way of not making herself sick. But... seems like Ajax has other plans for her.
Before she's even allowed to pick up a bell pepper, Ajax's hand stops her. Yoimiya curiously looks over at him, wondering what kind of game he's playing. But she gets more than what she bargained for as he leans over and eats the morsel lodged in her chopsticks. Logically, her brain should be questioning why he's giving her an advantage by eating her portions but... she throws all logic out the door in favor of watching him lean closer and closer until his lips are so dangerously close to hers that she can feel his hot breath ghosting the tip of her tongue. It's not long until those delightfully plump lips of his look way more succulent than the meat sizzling on the grill. If it wasn't for the pesky gap between them, she could close the distance and have a real feast.
Distraction successful! Ajax's tactics have a profound effect on her as she slows her pace and pops only one veggie into her mouth while keeping an eye on him. Forget the yakiniku, she's staring at a real piece of meat in front of her. Her eyes are glued onto him the entire time, telling him to continue the show. But of course, Yoimiya isn't going to be the only one laying it thick.
Since he's providing dinner and a show, she wants to give him a little treat in return. She swallows her portion... hard and once it's down the hatch, she licks her lips clean of the sauce staining her mouth, deliberately dragging her tongue across her pink lips in a slow, tantalizing manner. If he pays close enough attention, he might even notice her pearly white teeth... and that one of them looks a little on the sharp side. ]
no subject
Turns out she's doing just fine. Fine enough to take advantage of his own innate lust, eyes locking on her lips as they come into focus. It takes him to a place that's more than inappropriate, fantasies born anew from watching her tongue glide across her lips like that. His jaw drops involuntarily for a moment, feeling an urge inside of him that he's been fighting since he met her the day before, and the smallest, most quiet whine he's ever uttered escapes from his mouth. Oh, to have something as sexy as Yoimiya's mouth wrapped around him...he can only dream of it.
It doesn't help that he sees how sharp one of her teeth are, and he wants that to rake across his neck at some point in the night. Yoimiya is so unfair, she almost makes him want to break his own creed to himself and indulge in a night of lust and fantasy. Maybe there's just something about her that's different from all the other girls he's dated, or he's just really drunk, or both.]
I see you're not unfamiliar with a little tit for tat.
[He's not denying he played a little dirty, but she came back and did the same. He kind of likes it.]
But I'm still ahead.
[He eats a bit more of the meat, nearly finishing it off as he licks his own lips at her, devilish and cocky all the same. He wants to win, and furthermore, he wants to claim her lips as his prize once they're done.]
no subject
He'll belong to hersoon enough. All she has to do is break his will down until he's begging for her.
However... she does have one more hurdle to jump over. ]
Wha...?
[ Yoimiya snaps out of her reverie, confused at his declaration. It's when she looks down, she realizes getting lost in his eyes was her downfall. ]
HEY! Using your good looks against me... grrrr, so unfair!
[ Alls fair in love and war as they say, but that doesn't mean she's happy about it. Yoimiya immediately picks up the pace, shoving more meat into her mouth but it's too late. Ajax is close to victory and catching up to him seems insurmountable. So, she isn't going down without making things difficult for him. A little bit of sauce drips down her wrist and the little imp wastes no time licking it off with another slow drag of her tongue, a little taste of the avenues her mouth can take him down. ]
no subject
And he's not afraid to show it, in the form of egging her on by taunting her, to drive her to want to beat him so badly that she can taste it, literally.]
What do you mean? It's your fault you allowed yourself to be so distracted.
[He says as she's already taking revenge on him. He glances over at just the wrong time in the middle of shoving the last of his side dishes down his throat, to watch her lick up her arm in a way that makes him stutter and feel his pants get a little tighter than they were a moment ago. Fuck, that tongue of hers will be the end of him, he swears. His barbarian brain wants to do anything to make sure it fits around his dick perfectly, and he has to stop for a second to recollect himself. Talk about unfair...]
Use every trick in the book why don't you! I won't let you beat me, Yoimiya!
[This is the home stretch. He's got to just finish his meat off and it's about done cooking. But she's almost done too...!]
no subject
[ And then she denied the allegations. Y'know, like a liar. The little devil knew exactly what she was doing and it shows in the smug grin and that same pretty pink tongue sticking out at him like a brat who just got her way. Yoimiya makes a note to consider herself a fisherman because she's pretty sure she caught herself an Ajaxfish hook, line, and sinker with that final blow.
But even with that small victory, she can't let her guard down at the finale. Seems like her little trick helped in catching up. However, he's still a good way ahead of her and if she has any hope of outpacing him, she has to play dirty.
And oh boy, Yoimiya loves playing dirty. (`ω´) Carefully, she slips her foot out of her sandal, quietly so as not to alert him of her nefarious plan. She continues to prove that she is truly a little devil by shifting her position on the chair, pressing her foot against his bare leg. The smirk on her face grows devilish in nature as she doesn't hesitate to slowly move her foot across the curve of his calf.
All the while she pops in her final piece of meat and munches it in victory. ]
no subject
But she's gunna make him suffer first, he sees. As if he wasn't already slowly drowning in the gutter, the feel of her foot against his leg is nice, bringing a warmth to his chest that isn't from the alcohol. Plus, that little coax isn't helping his pants right now, wanting to return the sensual touch with some of his own, but they're in a damn restaurant and he's trying to win a contest. However, with all the distractions, the fact that she can eat meat far more raw than he could ever dream of, puts him at a disadvantage even if he'd gotten ahead at some point.
She eats the last morsel of food as he's waiting for his last piece to finish cooking. He doesn't notice right away, but when he finally picks it up from the grill, he notices as he pops his in his mouth that he's lost.
Now all said and done, he droops a little in defeat, but that doesn't stop his free hand from reaching down and rubbing her leg a little bit before she has the chance to retract it from his calf. He makes no indication of having shame, letting the palm of his hand rub up and down her own calf just so he can satiate one urge and preventing another in public.]
I can't believe this, I give you an inch, you take a mile...
[He sighs, but she won and they both were equally as bad with their distractions as each other. It was a "fair" fight in that regard, so he can't get all that mad ;)]
Well done, you win. I accept defeat.
no subject
She has a feeling that he'll be a wild one the moment he loses his inhibitions... and she can't wait to see him fully indulge in his desires. But for now, she opts to just tease him with her foot, shifting it up and down while he touches her leg. ]
Yay! I can't believe I beat the guy who took on a shark, hehe. I must say, you're a worthy opponent! There was a moment when I thought I would lose for sure.
[ Yoimiya doesn't mind stroking his ego a bit. After all, he deserves it for saving that guy. ]
Since I won, do you mind if I claim a prize?
no subject
Cocking an eyebrow, he seems interested in what she's got to say on this, though.]
A prize? Well, I guess it depends on the prize.
[Grinning mischievously, he wonders what this little firecracker has in mind.]
What would you like? I'll only agree to it if it's reasonable.
no subject
Nothing much. Just a taste of something sweet.
[ And by sweet, she means those lucious lips of his. There's not a care in the world on her end, not a single hint of shame that they are in a restaurant as she leans forward, bringing her hand to his face so she can brush her thumb across his bottom lip, their mouth only a breath apart from one another. She's been yearning to have his mouth all over hers from that little stunt in their competition and now that she has him right where she wants him, Yoimiya isn't going to let that opprotunity slip by. Just like last night, she closes the distance, and seals their lips with a kiss. She lingers for a moment, drowning in his taste while his scent fills her nose. There's a bit of reluctance as she pulls back sooner than she would have liked but it's for the best. It would be nice to come back to this restaurant one day, it'd be such a shame to get kicked out because she couldn't control her urges.
But even as she breaks the kiss, Yoimiya makes it known that she really, really enjoys his by running her tongue across her top lip. ]
Thank you for the reward! I gotta say, your lips taste better than the meat.
no subject
He willingly meets her languid sweep across his lips, eyes closing while kissing back and feeling how his heart beats a little stronger when they share a moment like this, unable to deny to himself that when Yoimiya kisses him it just hits different. Like there's something special, something alluring in it that affects him in a way that no one else could dream to. He'd felt it the night before too, but now that some of his inhibitions have been obliterated due to the alcohol, there's no thought in his head to try to deny it.
There's something about her that draws him further to her, and right now, he has no interest in fighting it. His eyes flutter open, taken in by her kiss, smile dopey and wanting more than just the small taste he just got.]
Well, I'm glad you enjoyed them. If you'd like seconds, I'd be willing to indulge in some dessert out at the beach.
[Their destination is going back to the beach for the jellyfish, and his drunk ass knows they're going to have a great time.]
You're not the only one who got a taste of a flavor they enjoy.
no subject
Now. All she has to do is keep indulging him in his desires to make her want her so desperately bad, a feat that should be easily doable if he's this easy to please. ]
Look at you, promising me a good time. I feel like I just drew the luckiest fortune from the Narukami Shrine. Well, I won't keep you waiting for dessert any longer. Let's head out to see the jellyfish. The place I have in mind is in a cozy little nook on Amakane Island.
[ Thankfully since they gorged themselves out, there's no food to be taken as leftovers. She's pretty sure her loud roomie will get upset if he found out she ate yakiniku without him and didn't bring him a single crumb but eh, he'll live. Taking him by the hand, she laces their fingers together, granting him a little bit of her touch to tide him over as they make the trek to Amakane Island. ]
---
[ Aside from walking like a drunk fool, and her stomach feeling like it's going pop from all the food they ate, the trip went relatively without a hitch! She had to lean against Ajax a few times to prevent herself from falling flat on her face but she's sure he enjoyed her warmth. Amakane Island is just within sight, it might be small but little island is a treasure in her eyes. She's seen many festivals come and gone but all of them have made a profound impact on her. ]
Welcome to my favorite spot in all of Inazuma! If you ever get the chance you should totally come here during one of our festivals. We're pretty great at hosting fun festivals, hehe.
[ But as much as she can yap about festivals, that's not what they're here for! Tonight their goal is to see the jellyfish dance underneath the starry sky. With that in mind, she gives his hand a gentle squeeze and leads him down the path below the cliff with Yumemiru trees lined across the shore. She's still having trouble walking but thankfully, she has an actual skyscraper to lean on for assistance.
From a distance, she spots a faint luminescent glow in the ocean. Excitement swells within her chest the closer they get, she's been dying for Ajax to see them in person and they've finally made it. ]
Ready? Three... two... one...!
[ Right on cue, Yoimiya steps to the side to reveal a school of jellyfish lighting up the sea for miles on end. There are so many of them, and their blue glow shines as bright as ever, almost as if they're looking to find their way back into the deep galaxy that is the ocean. ]
Beautiful isn't it? They remind me of stars in the ocean.
no subject
With his hand in hers, laughing and having a nice walk over, and having Yoimiya lean into him as they both drunkenly made their way to Amakane Island, he's as happy as a clam. He'd drank so much sake that there was no hope of him sobering up until the next day, and he likes it that way. It doesn't occur to him right now that maybe he went a bit overboard tonight, because Yoimiya is just as happy and seems like she's having just as much fun, so what could make for a better night? He can think of a few more things that could happen that would be wonderful to cap the night off, but they won't get around to that until they reach their destination.
The island itself is beautiful, and he instantly understands why Yoimiya brought him here to view the jellyfish. He happily follows her down under the cliff, admiring the Yumemiru trees through his drunken haze, leaning into her a little bit as he wobbles down the coast. Thankfully they both can use each other to keep steady, and his eyes start to scan around to see if he can spot the jellyfish, not seeing them until she begins her countdown and...
Ajax's eyes widen at the sight, the lights of the jellyfish shining in the water for miles on end. He feels like his breath is taken away, staring out into the ocean, mesmerized by the beauty of the jellyfish. He looks down to her, his smile wide before it returns back to the ocean, amazed and enjoying the show.]
Wow...it's gorgeous. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't this.
[A natural wonder of the world, clearly. Ajax continues to stare until his balance fails him a little, wobbling and urging him to sit down before his inebriation makes him trip and fall on his own shoelaces. So, he takes that sign to sit, patting the ground next to him so she can join him at his side.]
This is incredible, Yoimiya. Thank you for taking me out here...
[It's kind of romantic, when he thinks about it. It's a nice backdrop to a nice evening with a girl he didn't even realize he might start seeing from the night before. She was so easy to talk to, spend time with, have fun with...]
...this really makes this the perfect night, don't you think?
no subject
But oops! Looks like this man is so drunk he can hardly stand still. She can't help but giggle at him. But she doesn't have any room to talk! As soon as he pats the empty spot next to him, she wastes no time joining him... only to stumble her way down. Now, it's her turn to laugh at her drunk self as she picks herself back up, and cozy up to him. This time, she makes sure to lean on him for support because falling into the water with a whole bunch of jellyfish out and about sounds like a bad time. ]
Hehe, you're right! This is the perfect way to end the night. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, I had to make sure you come out here to see the jellyfish at least once. And now, you have another fun story to share with your family back home.
[ There is one more thing he needs to know about the jellyfish. ]
Y'know, rumor has it that in the crowd of jellyfish, there's one that has a pink glow to it. Legend has it that if you're lucky to spot the pink jellyfish, you'll be blessed in love. Kinda cute, isn't it? I've never seen this supposed jellyfish with my own two eyes.
no subject
A pink one? I've never even heard of a pink jellyfish.
[Of course, they exist, he's just too ignorant on aquatic life to know that.]
If they bless the ones who spot it with love, [is that really how it works, Ajax? With love or in love?] then we should definitely try to see if we can find it.
[His mouth is moving faster than his brain, and he's just spouting off words without thinking about what he's saying. But he's very serious now about finding the pink jellyfish, beginning to scour the sea, determined to find it to ensure that they would receive the jellyfish's blessing.]
Nnnnnngh, it's so hard to see their colors....
[It absolutely can't be because his vision is all dizzy and blurry whenever he moves his head or his eyeballs.]
no subject
That aside, she also didn't expect he'd be serious about finding the legendary pink jellyfish. She kind of assumed he'd laugh it off as a tall tale and call it a day. Especially since... love is involved, she really didn't think he'd show any interest in the legend. Maybe it's the alcohol talking but there's something about the way he says definitely that pulls at her heartstrings, it's endearing that he's so serious about this silly local legend.
And well, who is she to let him down? If finding a pink jellyfish makes him happy, she's more than happy to be on the lookout. ]
Right? There are so many of them. You would think a pink one in a sea of blue would be easy to spot...
[ She sighs for a moment, feeling a little dejected until she's hit with an idea. They might not locate the silly thing but she can at least make him feel better. Taking advantage of their proximity, Yoimiya huddles in close, craning her neck to whisper into his ear in a low, sultry voice that will play in his head even when he sleeps. She might not be able to use her powers to attract him but she figures there's no rule against using her charms to guide him to find a jellyfish. ]
Don't worry, I know you can find it. I believe in you, Ajax. If there's anyone who can find it, it's you.
no subject
No pink jellyfish. Oh well...
And just when he's about to give up for the night, Yoimiya whispers in his ear the encouragement he needs. Something about her words settles deep within his mind, reinvigorating him and giving him the resolve not to give up. Tonight, they probably wouldn't find it. But he would find this legendary pink jellyfish. Someday.]
Mmmmmmm...
[He hums back in response, as if those words mesmerize him for a moment. Her magic has taken hold, and he looks over to her with determination shining in his eyes.]
I'll ensure the day I find it, you'll be at my side to see it. I swear it.
[His heart beats like a steady drum, as if he were a knight making a promise to his maiden. Stalwart in his promise, he offers a confident grin- like he would find it and gain the blessing of the pink jellyfish.]
