(with ren smiling at him like that, ryuji can't help but be proud of himself. the day is off to an amazing start, and ryuji clenches his fist to himself, feeling more triumphant about today than ever. it's all fake, none of it will actually mean anything in the end, but ryuji wants to give every ounce of energy he can to making what precious time he has in this relationship work.) Yeah, I spent forever looking up what days were slowest so we'd have a chance to do everything.

(after all, ren deserves nothing less than all of ryuji's best efforts. he just can't stop himself from smiling. he's on a date with ren. a real date. if ryuji wasn't worried about overstepping boundaries, he'd kiss ren and never stop.

but as it stands, this is their first real date in their fake relationship, and ryuji is going to play it as safe as he possibly can when in comes to physical affection. scaring ren off because he got a little too handsy? not an option.

even still, at ren's suggestion, ryuji returns the smile with a devilish one of his own with a low chuckle, grabbing ren's hand and dragging him to the stand. oh, if they're going to play up the couple aspect, ryuji will get ren so embarrassed, he can't speak.) Oh, nice idea, Renren. You better get ready for this.

(while they may be a couple, they're also still best friends. and that means ryuji does awful best friend things, like picking up the sparkliest, glitteriest, pinkest pair of cat ears possible, holding them out to ren.) Hey, hey, this one suits you.
