[ Denki is enamored at once with such a bubbly person, and the cute style is so in right now. Definitely upstaging his hoodie and jeans - but this is a frat party and cheap beer on his good clothes sucks. At least the hoodie is intensely yellow and that black choker of his is never going out of style. ]
Heyyy~ [ Fingerguns! ] Denki Kaminari, not Dunce Face. Kacchan is just mean.
[ He grins, jutting a thumb in Katsuki's direction. ]
Yoosung, dude, how did you land this angry pomeranian?
[Yoosung hadn't considered the frat party thing not making for a good environment for good clothes, but he hasn't been to a whole lot of parties other than, like, charity fundraising parties. And those are usually classy as fuck so he couldn't wear ~cutesy~ clothes to those either.
He grins back, amused.]
"Kacchan!" Ahhh, that's cute! Umm, and I think it had something to do with me telling him I liked when he threatened to kick my ass! And tease me. I'm kinda jealous it's not just me he teases, though~ [He aims a pout in Katsuki's direction.] Am I still your favorite to tease, Kacchan~?
[He's mostly joking but also he does have some insecurity and jealousy issues. He's working on it!!]
[Poor life choices. Katsuki is wondering if he's made one in introducing these two... He doesn't argue the nickname. Just accepts it. Just like he does from Denki. Honestly, just like he hasn't fought half the people he's met through Libra using his first name. It just is what it is. What he does focus on...]
[ Most likely a mistake, honestly. Especially in the way Denki immediately mimics the pout. ]
Are you teasing your boyfriend too, Kacchan? Should I be jealous?
[ Still, he gives Yoosung a clap on the shoulder and another grin. Denki is really good at reading people and he doesn't want the guy to think he's any kind of a homewrecker. He loves his friends. ]
I've known this guy for two years and I thought he was gonna die alone, I'm so glad you picked him up.
[ Like he isn't the guy striking out on his every attempt at getting his own partner. ]
[Sometimes the smile is the warning that the ass kicking is coming. But he's glad they're getting along. Even if they are teaming up to harass him.]
I told him about the mooch feeding on my energy earlier.
[Said for Yoosung's sake. So he knows he doesn't have to keep his mouth shut about the possession thing. And to give Denki the opening to share about his own if he wants. Let them decide what they want to share.
Katsuki meanwhile leans himself against the nearby wall.]
[He looks curious and excited to learn more about that (puppies are great ok), but smiles sympathetically and nods about the whole magic thing being dumped on him.]
Mm. Yeah, it's probably a good thing that Katsuki helped you, though? [Is it dumb that he feels proud thinking of Katsuki helping people new to the whole supernatural thing?] Because I don't feel like Zodiac does a super good job at that when the app just appears on your phone...
Well. It's a Thunder Beast, but it's still young. So I call it a puppy and he hasn't really smited... smoted... smote... me for it yet.
[ Denki says, and now he's going to wonder what the past tense of smite is for the rest of the day. He grins, however, when Yoosung says that Katsuki is doing a good job. Oh, he knows that protective streak, and he puts a hand on the explosive blonde's shoulder. ]
Kacchan is too kind to let anyone walk into this blind. I just wish I knew earlier. Could have prevented some awkward reasons why I sometimes didn't come to our hangouts. I'm really shit at lying.
[ 'So I overloaded with mighty raiju power and passed out, sorry I'm late' isn't something he thought he could tell. ]
Wait, your eyes changed, too? Is that common?
[ The new red gaze of Katsuki's was cool as hell, and so are those purple peepers. ]
[Yoosung gives a light "mm" of agreement when Katsuki curses Zodiac. He isn't a huge fan either, mostly because of what everyone else has told him rather than his own experience with them, though.]
Ohhh.
[Said in understanding at the explanation of calling it a puppy. Not that he knows exactly what a Thunder Beast is, but still.
He laughs a little when Denki admits to being bad at lying.]
Ehehe, you too, huh? I'm not good at lying either. And yeah from what I've heard some other people have had eye color change too when they first get the app? I think they start to match the people in our visions who look like us.
It's not something I could go around sharing easily. There are groups that want to nab people like us.
[He'd been told as much his whole life. And since getting the app, he got to see into what a group like that was like on some level. It wasn't pretty.]
Right. Yeah. The past lives shit. It's not just the eyes. Remember me mentioning I can blow shit up now? That's something I've seen this... 'past me' doing in the memories.
[The past lives thing came up briefly, but Katsuki didn't dwell on it long enough to really explain. There was a lot to go over and plenty he still hasn't said.
He grabs the hem of his shirt and lifts a little to show off a scar on his abdomen.]
This too. One of my memories was getting skewered. After that, this appeared.
[ Please, his poor brain is already a mess. Magic, isekai, reincarnation, boyfriends... fuck, he really wants that solo cup of weird college booze mix now. ]
People want to grab us? Should I be worried about that? Should we go to this party?
[ Exactly how kidnappable are they, and who are these Zodiac? ]
You're getting scars from your last life? That's... damn, man, are your organs okay?
[Okay well now Yoosung's on Denki's exact wavelength because what the hell?!]
N-nab you...? Sk-sk... SKEWERED?!!
[The sudden outburst barely even gets them a second glance, thankfully, probably because they're outside a frat party and everyone is loud anyway, but still.
This is the first he's hearing of this!! And he clearly does not like the sound of any of it, if the build up of tears in his eyes is anything to go by.
Jun had told him that whatever they're possessed by might drag them back to the spirit realm but he didn't say anything about, like, human factions trying to kidnap people with possessions!!
He's holding Katsuki's hand tight to his chest now.]
[He kind of does keep dropping these things almost stupidly casually. Sorry, guys. He's experienced a lot of fucked up shit... He looks between the two of them and gives Yoosung's hand a squeeze.]
We're fine. Calm down. It makes sense that there would be people who'd want to study this shit, right? I've never encountered a group like that. I just know they exist.
[And what he knows about one particular group isn't his story to share. And he probably wouldn't even if not for that because what he saw was... well. If what he's already shared has gotten this reaction, he doesn't want to detail the things he learned about the Krusnik... Jun said they were all dead now anyway, right?]
My past life was apparently some kind of super hero. I dunno... it didn't seem so crazy that a life like that would lead to some major injuries? It doesn't hurt though. I think it's just... cosmetic damage? Pretty sure I'd know if it fucked up my organs.
[ How deep does this well of bullshit go? It keeps being one weird thing after the other, and while he's really thankful that he has people to share this mess with, he's getting overwhelmed. ]
Okay, fuck this. I'm getting drinks and then you can keep dropping bombs on me.
[ Patting Katsuki's shoulder again, Denki heads for the house to get them something to drink. Making his way into the house, some cheers of 'Denki' is heard all the way outside. ]
[Yoosung nods along slowly with what Katsuki says, in acknowledgment as that and the squeeze to his hand helps calm him down.
He looks surprised though as Denki takes off into the house, and can't help the amused smile when he hears the guy's name being called by the people inside.]
I guess he's kinda popular at these parties?
[He looks to Katsuki, loosens his grip on his hand just a little so it's no longer a deathgrip, then tilts his head in the direction of the door.]
[Which is a lowkey compliment of sorts. Denki was just... easy to get along with. That's why even Katsuki liked spending time with him. People he liked being around were few and far between. Although he was getting better about it.]
Yeah. I'll cool it on the supernatural shit for a bit so you two can have fun.
[Katsuki won't be drinking. But he doesn't give anyone around him shit for the underage drinking thing.]
[ If they come in after him, it's essentially your average American frat party. Music, beer kegs, dancing... happy, rowdy people having a good time. At least it doesn't look like any of the freshmen have drinks, but Denki has never cared and he's used to the legal age being 20 back home.
Said faux-blonde is holding two solo cups, chatting happily with a few people, winking at a goth chick and then noticing the couple. He wiggles the solo cups, one for Yoosung and one for himself, knowing quite well that Katsuki isn't much of a party drinker. ]
Heeey~!
[ He grins, looking like he's shaken off all the whatthefuckery he's just heard. Katsuki probably know him well enough to see that it's a mask, though. Denki can have a breakdown later, probably while drunk and in a bathroom. ]
[While Yoosung has been to a few parties and gotten drunk since he's started college and been on his own, it's not a thing he does often. He looks warily at the cup Denki wiggles at him, not because he doesn't trust Denki, more just because he knows his own reaction to a little bit of alcohol.]
Ah... I dunno. I get drunk kind of embarrassingly fast, and I wouldn't wanna make poor Kacchan take care of both of us when we're drunk, you know?
Hey, nobody needs to drink if they don't wanna. There's soda too. In closed cans, so you know they're not messed with.
[ Frat parties might have a reputation but this is 20XX, people are a little better at at least looking like they're respecting boundaries.
...and yes, someone will probably have to pick Denki of off the floor later, because he chugs his own cup. At least he's well-liked around here, so it doesn't have to be poor Katsuki. ]

Cute blonde boys group, man. Trouble on legs.

I better be the best man at the wedding, dude.
(no subject)
Wedding. Gah! That's a lot! Not in a bad way, though... He's still smiling, but it's a little more shy now.]
Well, I'd like to stay by his side for as long as he'll have me! And it's really nice to meet you, Denki, I hope you'll be my friend too!
(no subject)
[In typical Katsuki fashion he hits back with biting words.
Yep. Mistakes were made. They're teaming up on him. The betrayal. How dare.
He deserves it.He tries to shift focus.]
Dunce Face here just got the Libra app. So he's now officially part of the magical bullshit club.
(no subject)
Hey, I have standards! [ Do you? ] They're not very high, but I have them!
[ He then turns back to Yoosung and grins. ]
Oh, we're gonna be great friends, I can tell. Kacchan's already annoyed with us~!
[ Like that is somehow the deal of making friends. Annoying the grumpy one until he smiles or kicks their asses.
When Katsuki mentions the Libra app, though, Denki gives a him an exasperated look and shrugs. ]
Yay me. [ Sigh. ] For real, though, it's pretty nice to know I'm not alone.
(no subject)
[He agrees, then looks interested when the app is mentioned.]
Ooooh. Did you already have experience with the spirit realm stuff before you got the app?
[He was gonna add "like Katsuki" but then he doesn't know yet if Katsuki's told him about his kitsune possession.]
(no subject)
I told him about the mooch feeding on my energy earlier.
[Said for Yoosung's sake. So he knows he doesn't have to keep his mouth shut about the possession thing. And to give Denki the opening to share about his own if he wants. Let them decide what they want to share.
Katsuki meanwhile leans himself against the nearby wall.]
(no subject)
'The mooch'? Man I should call mine that but it's like... a puppy.
[ Yes Denki, the pet of a god is totally a 'puppy'. ]
Kacchan just dumped all this magic world shit on me, man. I thought I was alone and then boom.
[ He gestures an explosion over his head. ]
Totally messing my whole idea of things up.
(no subject)
[He looks curious and excited to learn more about that (puppies are great ok), but smiles sympathetically and nods about the whole magic thing being dumped on him.]
Mm. Yeah, it's probably a good thing that Katsuki helped you, though? [Is it dumb that he feels proud thinking of Katsuki helping people new to the whole supernatural thing?] Because I don't feel like Zodiac does a super good job at that when the app just appears on your phone...
My eyes changed color when I first got it.
(no subject)
[To say Katsuki isn't a fan would be an understatement.]
I wasn't going to let you walk into their bullshit unprepared. And if I'm going to be developing weird super powers, I might as well put 'em to use.
[Keeping them safe with them, he means. Although he stops short of actually saying it.]
(no subject)
[ Denki says, and now he's going to wonder what the past tense of smite is for the rest of the day. He grins, however, when Yoosung says that Katsuki is doing a good job. Oh, he knows that protective streak, and he puts a hand on the explosive blonde's shoulder. ]

(no subject)
