Trash Squad Day 4 - ELIMINATION?
Mornin', sweethearts? Did you have a good night? Feel any romances start to blossom?
Well, you've got another chance if not! Check your tablets for your dates!
[ The dates this time are: ]
Nice going! Everyone who's still around got a date! That means there's no elimination today, have fun!
...Oh, but Astolfo, Ichigo, and Ranulf have been disqualified for the rest of the game. Don't worry about them, though, geez! They're perfectly fine! Maybe they're even hanging out on a romantic getaway with everyone else! Don't get your panties in a twist. Unless you're into that.

Sixteen years ago, something called 'The Blue Night' happened. Thousands of people spontaneously combusted into bright blue flames and died horrible, painful deaths. Many of them were high-ranking exorcists too. Pretty much everyone I know through the Order either saw it happen or lost a friend or a family member in it. Or both. And that was only a small taste of what the blue flames could do.
[He hesitates for a moment, his insecurities setting in and making it hard for him to speak. He's tempted to stop there, to not explain himself fully, just so he doesn't have to risk having Allen become fearful as well. And for a moment, he almost does. His hands drop down and he looks away, excuses and apologies already on his tongue.
But he fights the urge to say 'just kidding' and powers on through it, though the pain and reluctance are very clear on his face. He's bad at hiding his emotions even on his best days, there's no way in hell he could hide anything now. This is tough for him to talk about, and he's already bracing himself for a bad reaction to it.]
There's plenty of fire demons in my world, but they all have red fire. The only demons who have blue flames are Satan and his children. That's why everyone's afraid of me: they don't see 'me', they see 'Satan's son' and think I'm gonna turn on them all and help Satan take over the world.

he's finding he doesn't really like to see Rin so upset. someone who's kind and has a lot to give to others like Rin shouldn't be so unhappy, Allen's pretty damn sure.]
Rin. I can assure you. I don't see you like that.
no subject
He's holding onto that hand pretty tightly now, by the way. Because it's hard to get him to start talking about sad stuff like this, but once he gets going it's so much easier to let it all out.]
I'm glad, I really am, but-
[He takes in a shaky breath before continuing.]
I can't always control it. I'm getting better about it, but when I get really mad sometimes the fire comes out on its own. I've got a really bad temper, you know? And I've lost it before, I've hurt people-
[Shit, now his face feels wet. He reaches up and rubs at one of his eyes with his free hand, trying to dry his face. This is so uncool, he probably looks like a crybaby right now.
He tries to smile, but it's not a happy one at all. This is the face of someone who normally ignores his problems and doesn't really know how to handle them.]
Sorry, It's- I shouldn't- You needed to know. I don't want to hurt people, but sometimes I- People probably should be scared of me.
[And that hurts to admit, because all he really wants in life are friends.]
no subject
but more importantly, Rin continues to hit on points that Allen understands only too well. things he never talks about and probably still won't even in this place, despite finding someone who does understand that sort of thing so intimately.
he doesn't mind the grip on his hand. it just means it's solid, real.
and makes it really easy to pull Rin into a hug, all the better to keep from crying himself in shared pain.]
no subject
It's hard for Rin to be so open like this, and he finds himself easily accepting that hug and grabbing onto Allen to return it. He just doesn't get to hug people that often at all, and every time he does it he's reminded of how touch-starved he really is. He really needs to initiate more casual contact with all of his friends here.
But this is fine for now. They're hugging, and while his face is getting wetter he's doing a good job of keeping himself from actually crying. And hey, since they're not shirtless this time, that means Rin's tears are just getting Allen's shirt wet!
But still, he has to ask:]
You're not scared?
no subject
I'm scared of a lot of things. But not you. Why should I be?
no subject
And that answer right there? That's enough to get him to start crying for real. Because after explaining who he is and why he's dangerous, Allen isn't afraid of him. Only two other people have accepted him so quickly and fully, and he cried on them over it too.
Sorry Allen, he's not going to be able to talk for a moment. But at least it's turning around to something a bit happier? Rin might be crying, but his tail is swaying back and forth in a happy wag, betraying his true feelings right now. This is Too Much but in a good way now instead of a bad one.]
no subject
time to pet the overwhelmed Rin's hair because Allen does Get It, so.]
no subject
But before too long Rin will be okay enough to lift his head off of Allen's shoulder and give him a little grin. This one looks much more genuine, since he's feeling better now that he's been accepted so completely for what he is. That was a real boost to his confidence, let me tell you.]
I guess it was my turn to cry on you, huh?
no subject
I don't mind. It's actually nice to be the one comforting for once.
no subject
Don't tell me you're usually the one crying.
[He probably is, Rin is figuring out pretty quickly.]
no subject
I... i-it's not like I want to be!
no subject
It's alright. If you need to cry, then cry. I won't tease you about it too much.
...but I like it better when you're smiling anyway.
no subject
You shouldn't tease me at all!
no subject
Pfhahaha-ow! Alright, alright, I'll be super-nice about the teasing then.
[How is nice-teasing even a thing?]
no subject
... also still kind of. leaning against Rin in this hug thing because hugs are nice.]
I suppose I can always pinch you again, if needed.
no subject
I can take it. I'm super-strong, did you know that?
no subject
But I also have another weapon up my sleeve.
no subject
Yeah? What's that?
no subject
TICKLE ATTACK.]
I wonder!
no subject
[He's laughing now and trying to flinch away from the tickling while also grabbing for Allen's hands.]
S-stop it- ahahah! I give, I give!
no subject
Ah, so easy.
1/3
[Unless Akira blabs about the tail thing. Then he's really screwed.]
So go ahead and-
2/3
Rin glances down at their hands. At his hands holding Allen's, specifically. BOTH of Allen's.]
3/3
[Well there's always been gloves, but Rin was still super-careful about it.]
I guess we don't need like a million layers of clothes to hold hands then huh?
