Junpei nearly jumped out of his skin at the sudden sound of metal screeching against concrete.  Looking around in bewilderment for the source of the cacophony, the brunette swept his eyes across the station until they finally lit upon… himself?  Nearly giving himself whiplash from the speed of his double-take, the teen simply stood and gaped in disbelief at what definitely seemed to be a carbon copy of him, sitting on a nearby bench and looking for all the world as though he belonged there.

When the doppelganger raised its head and beckoned to him, he finally snapped out of his reverie.  Gazing at the other boy warily, he rubbed the back of his neck and cast another nervous glance around the station, seeming to determine if other people were around to witness what he was convinced had to be either a time paradox or one hell of a trick of the light.  Upon seeing no one else around (Really, though, why the hell was nobody at Port Island Station at this time of day?  Were they all at a movie or something?), Junpei finally succumbed to his mounting curiosity and approached his double.

“S-so, uh… are you some kinda… fan o’ mine, or somethin’?” he started, attempting to sound gracious but only succeeding in looking nervous and a little more awkward than normal.  “C-‘cause that’s a pretty damn good cosplay, heheh— W-whoa, hey!”

The teen’s eyes went wide as the other boy pulled a very familiar-looking bottle of whiskey from beneath the bench.  He knew that label only too well - it was his father’s favorite brand, and there were countless bottles just like that one lying around his house, though they rarely had any of that sparkling golden liquid left in them.  “The hell’re you doin’ with that?  You can’t be old enough to drink it, man, so you— What?”

He froze then, all his nervousness and awkward attempts at friendliness vanishing.  “What… did you just say?” he asked, his voice void of expression but shaking slightly.  After a pause, he shook his head, typical cheerfulness starting to creep back into his tone.  “Nah, no thanks, dude.  I don’t drink.  You prob’ly shouldn’t, either, if you’re underage, but I guess I can’t really tell ya what to do…”

 Junpei waited patiently while his counterpart took in his surroundings and finally came to the conclusion that he was stuck in Port Island Station with some handsome devil who looked an awful lot like himself.

"Don't kid yourself." The shadow chuckled and shook his head when he was confused for a cosplayer. "Nobody would wanna cosplay you. They'd wanna dress up as Mr. Perfect, right?" He suggested, eyebrows raising slightly. "If anyone wanted to dress up as real-life superheroes, it would be as those guys. You're the comic relief, Junpei. Why do you think you get the two-handed sword? It makes all your missed swings just that much funnier." He gestured towards the exaggerated sword wedged in the cement crack with the bottle in his hand.

When Junpei mentioned his age, the shadow looked the bottle over, as if remembering he still had the drink, and rolled the cap in his free hand.

"You also shouldn't be waving swords and running around town past midnight," he continued to read over the label idly, "but you're an inherently bad boy." The last two words were punctuated and the shadow could only smirk and glance at Junpei before setting the cap down beside him on the bench.

"You know you'd like it, too." He raised the neck to his lips and paused to look at the teen. "... You afraid you're gonna turn into your old man?" He taunted him before taking a long swig of the deep gold liquid. Then, in a challenge, the shadow swallowed, tilted the bottle upright and shook it slightly again, as if offering the teen a swig.

> Shinjiro gives … Junpei a rather nasty glare, taking a step back as he feels through his pocket for his Evoker.

“Iori, what the hell are you wearing? And since when do you drink? I thought you hated the whole idea of drinking because of your old man?”

[superjunpeitothelose-blog]

 ”I did, but I was a huge downer, huh?” Junpei brushed it off easily. “What, you’re not into superheroes?” He pulled on his shirt with one hand, looking down at the symbol.

> Shinjiro thought he saw a hint of yellow in Junpei’s eyes but passed it off as the light playing tricks on him.

“You’re nineteen, Iori. You need to put that kiddie shit away and grow up. And how were you a downer, we were all still in high school when you told us that.”

> He doesn’t remember too much about Junpei, but Shinjiro knows that whoever this is, it isn’t Junpei. But best to play it calm and cool till it reveals it’s true nature.

[superjunpeitothelose-blog]

"Hey!" Junpei's shadow frowned defensively. Sure, the superhero stuff was kinda old, he just couldn't help but envy them. They always got the girl, they always saved the day, they were the heroes of their own stories... Junpei was playing second fiddle to the guy that stole every possible female from availability. He wanted the superhero's ending, where his wife would worship him as a demi-god, but he was shafted.

"Do you wanna hit the bars or what?" He asked Shinji, his tone insistent.

“Hey, Shinji! What’s up, buddy?!” Junpei called out to the taller S.E.E.S. member and caught up to him.

“You’re a drinker, right?” He damn well seemed like one. “C’mon, y’need a drinkin’ buddy now an’ again, right?” It didn’t seem to matter that he was wearing a Superman-style shirt with a J substituting the S, or that he had a sword tucked into his belt that somehow swelled to an exaggerated size whenever he pulled it out, he was still served at bars - possibly due to his goatee… or a lazy bartender - and was eager to go with another manly guy.

 ”You’re lying, I bet you know.” Junpei balled his other hand into a fist threateningly. “Why do you need her? Do you know how hard it is to pick up chicks for me? ‘S hard when your best friend is snatchin’ ‘em all up…” As he spoke, the inebriated teen began to lower his fist and his grip on Jin’s shirt loosened. It wasn’t Jin’s fault… It was Minato’s for taking every possible girl and ‘spending a long time with them’.

“Damnit…”

[jin-shirato-blog]

“I don’t keep tabs on the little brat!” Jin’s eye started to twitch getting annoyed now. “I don’t know why we need her! I just know we do! So stop askin’ questions that don’t need to have answers!” He huffed feeling his jacket’s grip being loosened. “Look, as much as I’d love to hear about you picking up chicks, I’d like to say this first off. I don’t care, I mean hey if I could actually do something like that or even know how, then maybe I would care..But I don’t.”

[superjunpeitothelose-blog]

 Junpei was about to let Jin go, but he realized what he said and grinned brightly.

"Aw man, I bet Jesus-guy steals all your chicks." He let go of his shirt but set his hand on Jin's shoulder instead. "I, however, am th'master." He turned so he was facing the same way as Jin, looking at whoever was frequenting the station.

"Poin' out a girl an' jus' listen to Dr. Love." He insisted with a stupid grin.

“Hey, dweeb !” Junpei’s shadow spotted the blue-haired teen while he wandered Port Island. He rushed up to him and grabbed Jin’s bright green shirt, growling under his breath.

“Gimme Chidori back or ‘ll break you.” He was feeling rather violent about the subject, having felt a rather strong urge to drink more when he thought about losing the redhead for, what, the third time or something?  He was sick of it. Of course, he could always just go get another girl - one who wouldn’t run away all the time, but… damn, it was hard picking up chicks…

[jin-shirato-blog]

Jin turned around hearing a rather familiar voice. He jerked around once he was grabbed. Inhaling the blue-haired teen dropped his suit case. “Listen, kid. I have no idea where the little runt ran off to! ‘Sides if I did I’d sure as hell not give her back to you. What can’t make it without her? Tch!” Jin gripped onto his briefcase trying not to lose his temper, at least for now.

“…Junpei?” Where had he heard that name before? Kanji looks up, and straightens out the bottom of his shirt. Looking longer, he notices there’s something different about him. Was it the….oh. He thought he looked different. This wasn’t really Junpei, was it. However, he looks him straight in the eye and continues talking as if it was just a trick of the light. If it was what he thought it was, he should know him. “Haven’t seen you in a while.”

[superjunpeitothelose-blog]

 ”A while?” Junpei repeated, then grinned, realizing that the blond must know his counterpart.

“Yeah! It’s been forever! What’re you up to? D’you wanna come drinkin’?” He offered excitedly, wrapping a friendly arm around the strong teen while his yellow eyes flashed, glued to Kanji in hopes of enticing him to a night of smashing mailboxes.

[lightning-emperor-blog-blog]

Kanji steps back, only to have Junpei’s arm wrapped around him. Frankly, he wasn’t exactly jumping for joy at the thought of drinking with him. “Drinkin’. I got a better idea.” He moves forward, adjusting his arm. “You can tell me why you’re here. This being the night, and all.”

[superjunpeitothelose-blog]

 "Wha'?" Junpei frowned and stopped, turning to face Kanji completely. "I jus' wanted a buddy, smashing mailboxes ain't fun without other people around t'do it with." He pointed out.

"You!" Junpei pointed accusingly at the blond upon spotting him down one of the alleys of Port Island Station. The teen stamped up to the warped messiah and frowned right at him.

"I'm gonna beat the shit outta you." He growled, his slur only just noticeable. "Chidori was mine, she'd die fer me, n' you just take 'er back?" The shadow challenged him, glaring into the other's similar yellow eyes. "I won 'er, give'r back."

The shadow spotted the rather well-built teen walking along the street and he was almost taken aback by just how badass he looked. Now that was a guy Junpei could be friends with! None of that intellectual crap or courting that Minato gave him, he needed a friend to wrestle for testosterone and alcohol-related reasons and nothing else.

“Hey, what’s up?!” The shadow caught up with the teen and gave him a grin. “Junpei y’ori, y’new here?” He was eager to try making this guy his friend.
