“oi, oi, okuyasu ... how about me and you go get some ice cream? this weather is killing me!” Josuke
UNPROMPTED / ALWAYS ACCEPTING !!
the first days of spring in morioh are typically mild & comfortable ; the rebirth of vibrant blossoms & rich greenery , the gentle & refreshing rain ——— it often lives up to its moniker as the season of new beginnings . but after a surprisingly merciful winter , the following spring felt more like summer , with high temperatures & cloudless skies , the sun beaming down on the small town in all its sweltering glory . okuyasu doesn’t mind the warm weather . it gets him a bit restless , though , for such conditions usually mark the end of the school year , but being that the hot season seems to have come early , such isn’t the case , thus making the seven hour days seem to drag on even longer than usual .
it’s late in the afternoon , but not too late . josuke’s mother is still working & okuyasu’s father is likely still asleep ( he doesn’t have much to do , these days , and okuyasu has practically memorized his schedule & patterns as his primary caregiver , leaving him guiltless in spending time with his best friend , for he knows he isn’t needed , now ) , allowing the boys to lounge around the former’s living room in peace . the animation of a ‘ game over ’ screen loops seamlessly on the television screen , the two of them quite literally laid out on the carpet , bored with the virtual reality they had immersed themselves in for the past hour or so , just after the school day had come to an end .
josuke’s suggestion is what breaks the comfortable silence , immediately seizing okuyasu’s attention , which had been previously occupied by the ceiling & his own thoughts . the shorter boy sits up , anchoring himself on the heels of his hands as his eyes glisten with the mere mention of ice cream . “ oh , yeah !! that’s a great idea , josuke !! ” his answer is almost certainly predictable , given his well-known affinity for the frozen treat , and okuyasu is already up on his knees , patting around for his house key that he’d subconsciously heard hit the floor on his way up .
“ it is hot as hell outside , huh ?? feels like fuckin’ summer already . ” his voice is a pensive mumble , dark brows knitting together in confusion as he wonders where the fuck his key is , before he realizes it had been trapped under his knee the whole time . a short huff ensues , eyes finding josuke’s face & wondering if he saw any of that . “ but shit , i’ll take any excuse to have ice cream more often . i don’t mind . ”
