[ Something about that is very.. touching for Inosuke. Sure, Tanjiro would probably like to see him for no reason, maybe even Zenitsu, but he's only meet Josuke once, and this guy just wants to see him? Because he wants to? What kind of person is this? He blinks a few times. ]
[ What is happening right now? That was actually kind of cute and endearing. He turns up his volume now because he can barely hear Inosuke when he's being quiet. ]
Oh ... [ He's too taken aback. ] Uhh, I usually don't plan these things, but we could get something to eat and walk around, if you want.
[ He hangs up without a proper good bye. Fortunately, Inosuke does know Prismaplace is that bustling shopping area and he can detect how to get there by sensing the most people. After he places his boar head on, he heads in that direction, though he has acquired some modern clothes-- a lightweight navy jacket that he wears open and some loose fitting, black pants. The fur shoes stay with him for now cause he likes his toes free.
As he is among the crowd of people (idk man I guess there's a city square for them to meet at) he seems a little uncertain because of all the people. When he finds their meet spot, he puts his hands out forward, splaying his fingers, seeing if he can detect Josuke anywhere nearby. He's only come across Josuke once, but he thinks he can remember the vibrations the other teen gave off. ]
D—Dammit.. there's so many people here, it's hard to pick them all apart.
[ Josuke, on the other hand, is completely at ease in this big crowd of people. If he has the option between staying at home or going to the mall, he usually picks the mall. He's sitting by the fountain, waiting for Inosuke, until he spots this peculiar boy in a boar mask. The height and build match up, and he can definitely recognises his voice. ]
Why are you ... wearing that? [ He didn't have the pig mask on the last time they spoke. This is just bizarre to him, but somehow less bizarre when he remembers who he's talking to. ]
[ There he is. The tall, broad-chested boy. The thought of kicking his ass and taking down someone that looks so challenging makes him chuckle quietly to himself, but he can already tell this guy is gentle, so he can only dream.
But then, Josuke comments on his mask. Inosuke gestures to it. ]
Why wouldn't I wear this? Don't be an idiot. It serves a purpose. Unlike these.
[ He's just gonna flick one of those nipple zips. ]
Hey! Don't just touch whatever you want. [ Though he wears the zipper top often, he doesn't quite like the zips played around with. Josuke pushes the other boy's hands away. Sure, his fashion might be niche to some, but he finds it easier to understand than whatever is going on on Inosuke's head. The more he stares at the boar's large, vacant eyes, the creepier it looks. He definitely prefers talking to Inosuke's actual face. ]
And what purpose does that pig's head serve? To arrive lady-pigs or some shit? [ That was mostly a joke and he's hoping it's not actually true. ]
[ The more he talks to Inosuke, the more tiring he finds it. ]
I don't have a problem with it. It's just ... kinda creepy. Like something I'd jump at if it came at me at night. [ Calling someone's fashion accessory 'creepy' might be rude, but Josuke's a fairly blunt person. Somehow, he also doesn't expect Inosuke to be very offended by what he had said. ]
[ This is exactly as he had expected. What he said wasn't meant to be a compliment but Inosuke went ahead and took it as one. ]
"Boutique." [ He feels like a teacher right now correcting a student's vocabulary. ]
It's just down there. Follow me then. [ Only, the way Josuke intends to go happens to be crowded with a sea of people and they might have to weave through the crowd. ]
[ !!!! Oh, no!! Before he knows it, Josuke is walking ahead of him and about to dip into a bunch of people. Inosuke hated that.. the way people were crowding around. It's a lot more than he is used to and all the bustling vibrations is too much against his skin. He grunts, gripping onto any part of Josuke's clothing that he can and holding on for dear life.
Look. He's baby. ]
D..Don't just walk ahead so fast..! Headbutt the people out of the way first..!!
Why would I do that? That's the kinda shit that gets you arrested for public disturbance.
[ Then again, he feels like Inosuke's entire existence might be a public disturbance. It's only when Josuke feels that little tug at his sleeve that he stops to look behind him and notices his masked friend's hesitance. It's almost like he's scared of crowds. Now, Josuke softens his tone, stepping back from the crowd so he's no longer pulling Inosuke somewhere he's not comfortable going. ]
[ Oh, he's being dragged out of the crowd now, thank god. Inosuke huddles a little closer to Josuke so that he's further away from the crowd. If Josuke is observant enough, he might see him shudder slightly. His hand never lets go of the other teen's clothing.
Though, at the question, he barks and looks up at Josuke. ]
COURSE I'M FINE..!! It's just--
[ He looks back at the bustling people. ]
I JUST WANNA KICK THEM ALL!! Why are there so many..!? It's too much!!
[ Overstimulating is the word that Inosuke is looking for. Though, he has a hard time really communicating, especially when it comes to his unique power. ]
Can't we get there a different way? Or do I have to bash all of these people? 'Cause I will!!
[ Josuke isn't the best at reading people, but it's fairly obvious to him that the crowd is making Inosuke anxious and he's covering it up in a bout of bluster. It's not something he can relate to, seeing as he's very extroverted, but he does know that it happens to some people. ]
Uhh, don't kick them. Or bash them. They haven't done anything wrong. [ He might be more agreeable with violence if the crowd were a bunch of nasty people, but they're just an innocent crowd of people. Josuke softens his tone again, hoping to help Inosuke calm down. ]
The other ways are pretty crowded too. I'm here though, you don't have to worry ... Do you want to hold my hand?
[ Rather than his sleeve, Josuke offers him a hand. ]

No, I don't. Can you even see in that mask?
how dare u typo
Date: 2020-02-18 03:57 am (UTC)[ He tips the mask up so his head is peeking out from under it, his face halfway shaded. His cheeks puff slightly. ]

DON'T KISS ME..!!
