1 - kissing both #2...

[sweetbomb]

[Honey has never seen a kissing booth in real life before. She's used to them being a weird plot point on coming of age TV shows and movies but she's a grown woman and this is a public street. She's supposed to be on her way home from running errands, she has a tote bag with some purchases tucked inside, but this is too good to pass up!

When she gets a little closer she notices the man sitting behind the booth is actually pretty good looking. She's not sure what she was expecting, but hey. Pleasant surprise. Honey parks herself in front of the booth, hand not holding her bag on her hip.]

So, what's your deal?

this is gonna be SO stupid i love it

[vampirefratboy]

[In another life, the stand Eddie's manning might have been from a farmer's market. Or maybe a kid's lemonade stand? Or a different kissing booth, he certainly doesn't know. An occasional hookup of his found it cleaning out a relative's garage. This is a pretty goofy replacement for a trip to the bar to pick people up, but, hey, a man's gotta get his weed money somewhere.]

[Not that he's made all that much money, but this street is secretly home to a lot of the vampire-friendly businesses around here, so he's had a trickle of customers-- either amused by the spectacle, or the sort who'd probably approach him in the bar too.]

[He leans forward in his fold-y chair, grinning wide enough for his fangs to catch the last light of the evening.]

Why, vampire kisses, my good lady!

[Wink!]

[sweetbomb]

[Honey catches the glint of Eddie's fangs and her eyebrows raise slightly. Is this an actual vampire? She's only met a couple before, being a bit supernatural herself, but they're usually a little...stealthier than this. It's still a public street. Who is this guy? Honey has a pretty good poker face, though, so she lets her expression shift into skeptical boredom as she crosses her arms over her chest.]

Where'd you get the fangs? Costume shop?

[Just a little test, see how he responds to a little prodding. If he's a real vampire and being this bold, he might admit to it.]

It's a cute gimmick though, I'll give you that.

[vampirefratboy]

[Eddie laughs and broadens his grin until the muscles that move his fangs tense with the motion. They slide into the bite position, shaking the image of teeth a human could actually have.]

It's au naturel, baby.

[He crinkles his nose a little as he flexes the muscle, putting the fangs back into place.]

If the cops ask, it's a costume shop, though.

[He says that like it's a flippant joke, but it's actually genuinely what his plan it.]

[sweetbomb]

[Okay, yeah, that's an actual vampire. Honey has no idea what to make of this guy. This is genuinely a vampire kissing booth on the side of a public street? Seriously??

Her jaw actually drops, just a little, watching his fangs. This is the first time she's seen a vampire moving their fangs like that before. Previous vampire encounters have been more brief and casual than this, whatever this is.]

Huh.

[Honey brings one hand up to her mouth, contemplative. Well, try anything once. She relaxes her posture.]

Okay, you've convinced me. So how does this work exactly?

4 - continuing this fun little friendship dynamic

[mybasketball]

[Generally speaking, Kuroko isn't an especially clumsy person. Tripping and falling is a pretty rare occurrence these days. All the basketball conditioning on top of everything has, in fact, made him fairly quick on his feet. Everyone has bad days, though, and today is a bad day for Kuroko.

It could be worse. Tripping and falling lips first into another person is never good, but at least Eddie is Kuroko's friend. Maybe that's weird, but Kuroko would rather be kind of kissing a friend than a stranger. It's not exactly a kiss either.

Kuroko and Eddie were in Kuroko's apartment hanging out when a basketball, of all things, betrayed him. It's round, Kuroko tripped, Eddie was in front of him, and one head-butt? mouth smash? to the face later they're on the floor. Oops. Kuroko pushes himself up on his arms, away from Eddie.]

Ow. Sorry...

[squeeeeeeeze]

[Hello Eddie, Faust's very good friend! This lil snake is here to partake in your kissing booth. She has a $1 bill in her mouth and everything! Where did she even get that? She opens her mouth to release the bill in front of Eddie.]

{Kiss!}

kissing booth!

[ringaroundyourneck]

[This has been the worst thing he's ever done.]

[Ryou had the feeling accepting (or, rather, giving into the Monster World Club's begging) to be the one who manned the kissing booth at the college fair wouldn't be a fun experience, but, well, he hoped otherwise. After all, this wasn't high school, he didn't have crowds of girls surrounding and hunting him down at all times. So, surely, he wouldn't have any problems.]

[Well. He was wrong. Turns out he's just as attractive to people in America as he was in Japan. For what felt like eternity he would look around the person (more often a woman) kissing his cheek and only see an expanding line of other women to wait for. He encountered a few men, too, but some had mistaken him for a woman and left embarrassed. No matter the gender, though, he quickly decided no mouth-to-mouth, absolutely not. If he let one person do it then more people would want to. He even went so far as to use masking tape to create an "X" over his mouth.]

[Ryou wipes his cheek with a towelette as he reads Anzu's text. He's been complaining to her in between groups and she's been sympathetic. He tosses the towelette into the shopping bag he brought along and texts her back.]

I'm going to make my next campaign much harder for this.

[The coast seems clear for now, so he peels off the "X" from his mouth. He'll just put it back on when the next person arrives. The fee collection jar is getting full and his Venmo account, created for this purpose, has a surprising amount of funds in it. This endeavor is successful, he has to admit.]

[vampirefratboy]

[Late afternoon is early for a vampire, but Eddie has become the nosferatu equivalent of a morning person these days. It'll be a few hours before he can ditch his stupid sunhat, which really clashes with his hoodie. Still, he has human friends now, and an evening class that starts in an hour.]

[But that's a problem for Eddie-in-an-hour! He's missed the majority of the college fair, so the baby freshmen have cleared out somewhat. He technically counts as a freshman himself, given that he's chipping away at his degree extremely part time, but he's old enough to drink. Different breed. He stopped by the convenience store on the way here, and he has his spoils tucked into his bag with his shitty old laptop. Gifts, for the person who did have to put up with baby freshmen all day.]

[Finding Ryou isn't too hard. They kinda group all the nerds together at this thing, like pack animals protecting their fragile young. Which nerd club would be the baby? Did those girls ever manage to start that K-pop club, that'd be the baby--]

[Oh, there's Ryou.]

Hey, there's my favorite sacrificial lamb! Has anyone fallen in love with you Pretty Woman style yet?

[ringaroundyourneck]

[Catching the shadow of someone approaching, Ryou instinctively grabs for the tape until he looks up and is relieved to see a friendly face. Or, well, a face of a friend, he's definitely encountered some overly-friendly faces today. He sets the tape back down and sighs.]

I wouldn't want to know...I can't say I haven't had some repeat, er, donors, however.

[Anzu's texted him back "oh no, don't be too harsh!" and he smiles, then turns his phone over on the tabletop.]

But I suppose it's been a successful day, technically. Have you been around the fair at all?

[vampirefratboy]

[Eddie makes a face at 'repeat donors'.]

Should've got their student IDs, if you go missing we can check their dorm rooms.

[He sets his bag up on the table next to Ryou's phone, looking rather pleased with himself.]

Nah, I woke up like, 45 minutes ago. [He tips his hat comically.] Midday sun's a bit much, even with this fucker.

[He unzips his bag and presents Ryou with a little container of mint chocolate chip ice cream.]

Thought you might need something more substantial than a breath mint.

[Oh look at him, he thinks this is SO funny.]

5 - throw this into the eddie and egg extended universe

[inthistryingtime]

[Egg is hungover. Egg is so hungover. She's waking up in her rumpled clothes from yesterday, halfway on top of Eddie, on his apartment floor, with empty bottles surrounding them. What happened last night? Oh, right, Egg wandered over already tipsy from another party Josephine wanted her at. Eddie has long since been banned from most events, so she didn't even have him looking out for her to minimize all the gawking stares at her hand or the deeply invasive questions. What a nightmare. No wonder she wanted to get wasted.

Her body feels like lead. When she shifts to try and push herself up she accidentally moves her hand in a way that the glow shines brightly, directly into her eyes. She groans and pushes her face back into Eddie's arm. Much better. It's dark here. Gonna put that hand back down on the ground so no one has to look at it. Egg rubs her face against the side of Eddie's arm, making muffled upset sounds, and then pulls away slowly, accidentally giving Eddie very light butterfly kisses on her way off of him.]

Why did we drink so much?
