[ Jun tsks and grumbles, squinting his eyes at Kuroo as if saying I'm watching you.
But well! They're here! After hours of traveling, Jun thought he'd be exhausted when he arrives, but nope! Seeing the morning sun, feeling the sea breeze, smelling the salty ocean air... Ah. Ah. They're here!!
—And Kuroo says exactly what he has in mind. ] Yeah. [ He grins, but then stops a bit and smacks Kuroo's arm lightly— ] Don't stop in the middle of the way. [ —then resumes his steps again.
He snorts. ] Let's take a pic in the pier first then—
[ ......... ]
What was that weird noise. [ He lets out another snort, grinning amusedly. ] Careful, wouldn't want you to fall into the water before you even set a step on the island. [ He says, amusement lingers as he walks down the gangplank and into the pier.
...Where a woman with short, bob hair makes eye contact with him, seemingly recognizing him as she takes brisks steps toward the two—ah. Must be the organizer.
"Spitz-san and Tetsu...ko-san?" She seems reluctant saying the name. He feels you. ]
[ Kuroo laughs Jun's warning off, skipping over to the other side of the road. ]
Ah, you wanna take a selfie? Sureー
[ Maybe later, though, since the organiser has summoned them. Oh, look at that, she sure as hell looks very uncomfortable mouthing his 'name'. Remember people, the one receiving damages from this is not him, but the people who have to call his name out, like this lady. Poor her. ]
That's me. Sorry, my friends pranked on me, soー Go on, please!
[ The young lady gives a polite (albeit awkward) smile, before proceeding to give welcome greetings to the two, as well as some other pairs that are under the same package. She begins to go through the itinerary that everyone has in hand, explaining that before everything, they're to have some breakfast in the hotel's restaurant, in which afterwards the pair can have some free time for an hour or two before they proceed with the other activities.
Before leaving the pairs to go on their own, she also hands each pair their keys to their hotel rooms. "We'll be meeting at the hotel lobby at 1pm, please be punctual and have a relaxing time with your partner." And a special wink at Kuroo and Jun.
Uh. ]
That's what she said. Let's put our luggage in the room so we can get your hungry stomach filled!
[ What happened to the discomfort she displayed earlier? Oh well, whatever the wink means, Kuroo chooses to pay it no mind. Free travel and accommodation! No complaints here. ]
[ Well, the good thing about Kuroo having been registered with that name is that it takes others' minds off Jun's own ridiculous nickname, the nickname he's had to suffer for years since the first grade of high school. Jun folds his arms as he listens to the itinerary of the day, a small smile forms his lips as his ears catch the word 'breakfast.' Yeah, about damn time. And some free time, huh, that's nic—
................... ]
What the— We're not—!!
[ A mundane protest because the woman just grins in response; whatever happened to her discomfort earlier, indeed. Well, Jun would really like to forget it but of course he's gonna be constantly reminded that they are in this kind of tour, with all the other 'couples' seemingly getting kinda comfortable with each other. Which is fine, whatever floats their boat, but the mere thought of him being 'comfortable' like the others already makes his skin crawl. No.
But well, Kuroo's right. Room, then breakfast, just forget this whole thing and think of this as a nice free vacation with a guy friend, just like they've agreed on before.
He sighs. ]
Yeah, let's go. [ Jun says, dragging his suitcase toward the building the young lady showed them earlier... Damn, it actually looks pretty nice. He looks at the pamphlet and the itinerary one more time, realizing that they're listed as one of the 'VIP couples' in this trip. Huh. ]
Man, our friends didn't hold back when they signed us up. [ He snorts, showing Kuroo what he's just discovered. ]
[ Kuroo gives the huge reaction a look. Man, his 'partner' of this trip sure seems like someone who'll get teased a lot. He feels like he can sort of relate to whoever set Jun up to this trip. This kind of reaction will only entice people to prank you even more. He's not going to say that aloud, though, he still loves his life and doesn't want to risk breaking his back.
When Jun prompts him, Kuroo leans slightly closer to see what's written in the paper. ]
Huh. Guess we can look forward to the room then!
[ He's getting pretty darned excited now. This is a once in a lifetime chance! He won't choose the bigger rooms if this whole trip wasn't funded because... budgets, practicality, what have you, so! His pace quickens considerably as he takes longer strides without thinking, dragging the luggage with him.
They enter the premise, and already... ]
Woah...
[ ....he's enraptured. What a gorgeous lobby. It looks so serene and cozy with all the warm mahogany colour dominating the space. The kind that screams 'close to nature'! But it's too fast to get amazed here. If the lobby's this cool, the room must be even better!
With that thought in mind, he heads over to the elevator, smiling much, much brighter. ]
[ Seriously, is he traveling with a giant eight-year-old... Kuroo seems chill most of the times, but times like this and like on the green car earlier, he can really be like a child. Not to mention, he doesn't seem to realize the difference between his legs' length with Jun's, so Jun's got to half-run to be able to catch up.
But well, this time Jun can't really blame Kuroo because what the heck, that lobby looks real amazing. He stops for a moment to look around, then continues to follow Kuroo to the elevator. ]
Huh? Uhh, [ He stops once they reach the elevator, then looks at the pamphlet in his hand. ] —fifth floor. Oh, nice, the view must be great.
[ Now he's getting kinda excited too.
The bell dings and the door opens, and Jun drags his suitcase inside, pressing the "5" button. Even the decoration inside the elevator is pretty damn nice too, with a soothing traditional Japanese music playing. Nice. He'll totally have fun and relax the heck out of these three days. Eat that, certain pink-haired ex-classmate. ]
[ Kuroo nods his head at Jun's remark, grinning in excitement as he too, begins observing the interior of this elevator. It's quite an elaborate design for "just" an elevator, especially when the highest floor is the fifth. You don't get to see a lot of things before you reach your floor.
Ding!
See? He appreciates the effort, though. ]
After you.
[ After all those moments he's left Jun behind, now he's gonna do this?! He really needs to get his character straight... But anyway, yeah, he's holding the elevator door open, and will follow behind the other man once he has gotten off it. ]
Room 504, was it?
[ The sign just outside the elevator points out where their room's at, and Kuroo's immediately headed towards it.
504, 504... oh, here they are! His heart thumps lightly as they stop before the room. Carefully, carefully, he turns the key, and opens the door to their... ]
Heaven.
[ He rushes inside, jaw dropping as he turns around to one spot just looking at everything that's in the huge, huge space. When walking by the corridor, it's already evident that each room's pretty darned big in this floor, but this exceeds his expectation by miles. Holy crap. ]
This is gigantic. [ There's a beat before he turns his head towards Jun, a glint in his eyes clearly shows he's up to no good. ] ...Can I try something?
[ Before he gets his mind blown by the rest of the features within the room, he wants to try one thing. Just one thing. ]
[ Jun no longer has the mental capacity to retort, not without breakfast, so he just walks out when Kuroo lets him, but shoots him a glare anyway.
—Aaaaand now this guy's heading off again. Let Jun rest. He sighs and drags his suitcase with his usual big steps although with less swagger today because he really needs some food and coffee right now.
But okay, first of all, what the fuck, second of all, ]
What the fuck.
[ He stands stunned as soon as he gets in. This is— holy crap. Maybe he should thank his ex-teammate and his bad drunk pitches because holy fucking shit. The room, the atmosphere, everthing.
But he doesn't even get the leeway to say or do anything else because this guy's just suddenly launches a question. Jun turns his head with an eyebrow raised. ]
[ Judging from that response, he has a feeling Jun won't agree to whatever he'll say. So without giving any further explanation, he sets his backpack and luggage aside, sits on the tatami, lies down, and...
Begins rolling his body from one end to another. One end to another. One end to another. ]
Oh my god.
[ Is this heaven.
One end to another. One end to another. One end to another. ]
'Oh my god', my ass!!! [ Ah, there pops a vein. ] I ain't joining you!! Just— argh!!!!!!
[ Jun looks around the room, suitcase still in his palm, and then sighs realizing that thanks to his height and the fact that he's rolling on the floor, Kuroo takes up so much space that Jun can't put his stuff somewhere decent. Whatever!!!!! He huffs and just puts it beside Kuroo's things, and then he's back to looking at the pamphlet. ]
Breakfast is on the ground floor. If you're not going I'm going myself.
[ Okay, that's enough teasing. Well, Kuroo doesn't really mean to tease Jun per se, but you know. He chuckles a bit as he gets on his feet, pacing to fall in step with Jun. ]
Aw, don't be mad. I don't get to go to these places often, you know? I just wanted to feel the tatami!
[ That totally makes sense. ]
Let's go, let's go.
[ After making sure he's locked the door behind them, he walks towards the elevator and presses the button. Man, wonder what they'd have for breakfast? ]
[ Whatever. Jun huffs because he totally did not get enough rest to be dealing with this right now, though to be fair probably no amount of rest will ever be enough to deal with this guy. The least he can do now is fill his stomach and have a shot of caffeine, or five.
"Ah, Spitz-san and Tetsuko-san, welcome." It seems like in the short moment they went to put their stuff, the staff were briefed that 'Spitz' is this short bearded old man and 'Tetsuko' is his giant not-a-girl partner. Jun's too tired to retort the name now. "We've prepared your seats—" The new staff politely points to one corner of the room. "—we will bring your food in a second. In the mean time, would you like anything to drink?" ]
Oh, god, coffee, please. Black.
[ There's an obvious weariness in his voice as he says that, but he waits for Kuroo to answer the staff before he walks over to their seats. ]
[ They can't look any more different with how wide Kuroo's grinning ー he's in an awfully great mood, and that's not exactly something that anyone who knows him likes to hear. His eyes, just for a moment wander to the shorter man beside him, before returning back to the lady welcoming them. Well, he knows how to read a mood, and he doesn't really want to piss the other further (for now). Though to be very very honest, he can't deny he's sort of really curious what kind of unexpected reaction Jun will let out if he pushes him to the brim. ]
Make it two, please! Could you bring us some gum syrup and creamer with it?
[ The staff can't seem to contain her giggle looking at how contrasting the two seem from each other. She's probably wondering if 'Mr. Spitz' is being shy. "Of course. Please take a seat and we'll be serving you in a moment. Have a pleasant day!" There's an overly cheerful tone in her voice, somewhat patronising, with a hint of amusement. ...At least, that's what goes through Kuroo's mind at the moment. He catches up with Jun quick enough and settles on the seat across him. ]
Wow, gorgeous, isn't it? Jun-san ♡
[ After taking a look around them, he clasps his hands together in an exaggerated way, tilting his head slightly in attempt to impersonate what girls do to seem cute nowadays. Despite the action, he meant what he said ー he wouldn't eat a meal at a place like this unless it's a super duper extremely special occasion. It looks so high-class! And they're probably gonna dine here for the rest of their stay. Dude. That's low-key blowing his mind. ]
Okay, not really. It might be because he and his brain are very Tired that it took a while for him to process what just happened, and when it finally did— ]
'The fuck are you doing.
[ —is what he says with an annoyed face but also his cheeks flushing a little, as if he was the one who did something so embarrassing. Kuroo's antics, it seems, have attracted a few stares from around them, which only made Jun's face glow brighter. (It's funny because he doesn't notice these things if he's the one causing the stares?) ]
You're embarrassing both of us, dammit!!!
[ Despite everything, Jun has still grown over the years, because now he knows to turn down his volume when it's inappropriate to yell— well, most of the time, anyway. Thankfully it's one of those times as he lets out something more of a hiss, though still a few more people turn their heads to the couple.
Huffing, he quickly lands himself on the cushion of their seat, his face can only be read as 'where the fuck is my coffee'. ]
