[ nani the fuck indeed.. no one knows anymore at this point, and for a moment they just stare Deeply into each other's eyes as they're standing there, like it's just the two of them and the rest of the universe has disappeared for a moment.
And then the moment is suddenly Gone as Shinpachi releases Tenka's hands, just casually continuing on about something else. ]
So, did you manage to get Sousei here too in that kinda getup? [ Now that's something he'd like to see.. although even seeing Tenka in it is already pretty hilarious. ]
[And just like that, Tenka's hands go back in his pockets as he shrugs and offers a grin as if they silently agreed that round of Gay Chicken to be a draw.]
As if it was my idea.... Nah, one of his friends came over and forced both of us into these. He should be around here somewhere though.
[ .. must be a powerful friend then. Or a woman. Because Shinpachi has firsthand experienced what women can do on that front, he'll never forget just how forceful Leanne was for someone who's 5'3" and needed help opening most doors about him covering up his chest..
Not that he mentions anything out loud about it though, instead raising an eyebrow at the last part. ]
[It was a powerful woman friend. Yang can't be stopped.
But Tenka just shrugs easily at the question, returning to fiddling with his tie.... No Tenka, they just stopped that madness.]
Well... It's not bad, just 'cause of the people, but this formal sort of thing.... I'm really not a fan of it, you know? Politics in Kyoto look a lot like this and they just left a bad taste in my mouth.
[ Not even that much, Shinpachi. But westernisation sure meant a lot of things did shift really quickly that Shinpachi himself can't even really imagine it that easily himself. ]
I mean, if those kinda gatherings were half like this, I'd be more motivated to actually sit there! [ He laughs - he's actually way interested in politics regardless of how "boring" or "fun" it would be by any standards, so it's obviously a joke as he nudges the other in the side with an elbow. ] Don't tell me a guy like you can't see the fun of all this. You're growing into a boring old man, a--
This isn't a joke! [ Or, well, it is. And yet it isn't? You'd have to get into technicalities for this one to even find out, okay, but with them gay chickening it up once more, he's totally going to claim this. ]
I'm just concerned about you, yeah? If you turn into Sousei, then that amount of grump is gonna bring everything out of balance! What if Sano catches it next-- [ GRABS TENKA'S COLLAR AGAIN, JUST SO HE CAN SHAKE HIM... ] Then what will I do, huh?! What will I do..?!

But wow there's so much drama going on here! Tenka seems surprised at that for a moment before responding!! With fervor!!!!]
Shinpachi-kun...! No, you can't expect me to leave you behind!

Sousei's rubbing off on you.. [ His voice is so full of horror. ]
no subject
That's it. That's both of Tenka's hands back on Shinpachi's shoulders as he looks him in the eye and completely seriously:]
That's not something to joke about, Shinpachi-kun.
[THE WORST POSSIBLE FATE]

[ Even Shinpachi, who's Too Old For This Shit considering how many teenagers hang out around here, is having a good time, okay.
.. granted, all he needs to have a good time is booze and food.. company optional.. ]
Don't you see what you're becoming?! [ SHAKE SHAKE. ]
