(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

[ The name subject isn't something he wants to breach right now with himself as the main topic, so Kido will just have to keep calling Terry by Terrence for a while longer. ]

I'm glad that you were eventually able to learn that. It's nice to have someone who really understands. [ To an extent, anyway. ] That's why I never really feel alone with you around, Kido, because you get it.

[ He knows that Rei understands too, but that's left to be said face-to-face with the person at hand... The Black Cat household is basically full of "disappointment children". :( ]

Besides, I like you for who you are. That will never change. You don't need to be delicate and feminine to be cute anyway.

[ god, they really are all unwanted disappointment children.......... no wonder they found each other

Kido ducks her head, hearing that, because it's one thing sort of assuming it from family that adopted her or who she otherwise grew up with, but another thing hearing it point blank that she's liked. There's that happy but embarrassed feeling again that she struggles with, all the heat caught in her hood and making her face even redder. ]

Stop talking. I don't care about being cute...

[overstrain]

[ Kido is being hella kawaii right now and Terry finds her reactions to be cute too... His bias to her is pretty close to Rei's level, to be honest. Like when Souji told him that Kido smashed his face with a glass bottle, he had dokis because that was fucking cool of Kido. lmao... ]

Fine, fine...

[ He doesn't look one bit deterred from talking, but he'll just interlace their fingers together to let Kido know what he thinks about that. ]

[ asdfjlkh Terry supports Kido's violent tendencies, don't do that

He's embarrassing and Kido's embarrassed and if it were Kano or whoever else doing it just to get a rise out of her, she'd break their ribs without hesitation. But here, she only deathgrips Terry's hand to let him know what she thinks about all this, and stomps forward down the street to drag Terry along.

Until she realizes she doesn't know where the arcade is, and she glares at him like it's somehow his fault, slowing so he can take the lead again. ]

[ His hand... hurts... Kido... yamete...

It's too bad that Terry matches her pace, so that he doesn't walk ahead of her or anything, but he does subtly lead her to where the arcade is supposed to be. He says nothing about how they were going the wrong way before, but it's fine. The time together is what matters more, doesn't it?! ]

Did you want to say something?

[reveilation]

[ It's called taking the scenic route, not that she was lost, yeah. ]

No. If I wanted to say something, I'd say it.

[ She absolutely does not do that, but okay. It's nothing she can put into words, anyways, that isn't already said with how hard she's gripping Terry's hand, that her hand hurts too and it's only because of that that she loosens the grip slightly. ]

Come on, let's hurry up and get there so we can play as much as we can before the arcade closes.

[ It's the perfect place for stress relief. Kido's going to blow apart so many zombie heads. ]

[overstrain]

Okay! Let's run a little.

[ He means normal speed running. He'll only become a roadrunner if it's necessary to him, and this is not one of those times.

They can shoot up bunch of zombie heads and I know Terry will fail at all DDR-genre games because he absolutely sucks at it. Also the crane game. He's bad at those too. He'll still have fun with it anyway and probably suggest to Kido to make Nekogami get the handheld console if they fail enough lmao

End thread?! ]

[reveilation]

[ lmfao Kido watches Terry fail 34598549 times at the crane game and then cheats with Nekogami because if she doesn't, that's grocery money going down the drain.

And we can end the thread! and do death things!! ]
