Accidentally Charming NPC

Jiroutachi could often be found on his own. It wasn't that he was a loner type, far from that. Mostly he just didn't have many steady drinking companions here and he was actually missing his sword companions. As the only one left it was rather lonely despite the friends that he had still. Getting by without them was possible but he was starting to feel the weight of them being gone. In a way he supposed he didn't want anyone to notice that fact which led to him wandering about on his own and finding fun places to drink as he enjoyed the days.

So he'd used a little bit of his Charm magic to get some wine and then had gone off on his own. It really should have been left at that right? Well unfortunately, Jirou found himself with a little fan club following after him, love in their eyes as they trailed along. So far he hadn't been able to shake him so when he caught sight of a fellow Hero, he went over to hide behind them.

"Save meeeee! They love me so much!" This had to be extra comical if the sword who was over six feet tall ended up behind a fellow Hero much smaller.

Accidentally Charming PC

[ooc: Note that for this one you can decide for yourself how long the Charm lasts. But essentially your character will find that Jirou is super great and pretty and so on. He's attracting people to him so you can think of it like that! Just remember that he's not doing it on purpose! (Not that he'll feel bad about it but not the point.) If you're not comfortable having your PC charmed then the other option is for you!]

It was just another day. Another lovely day. At least it certainly seemed so when Jiroutachi had walked by with his lovely black hair that seemed to shine in the light. He was tall and muscular under that yukata but somehow seemed to have delicate features as well that could cause him to be mistaken for a woman. The gentle touch of makeup clearly did not help with that either and neither did the pretty hair ornaments that he wore in his long strands.

One could be sure that the scent of alcohol had never smelled better and it made the temptation to follow him stronger. Which was likely how you ended up here as he paused outside a shop to look inside before he turned to look and give a smile. What beautiful golden eyes he had...

"Hello! Are you following me?"

And he's spoken. What will you do now?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Jirou wasn't that surprised that Gilbert was checking up on him. The young man really cared too much and it was adorable. He'd been about to tease him about it when he heard that he was beautiful.

And Gil didn't leave.

The sword was left blinking as he tilted his head. He never just admitted that he was beautiful. Usually he had a ton of other things to say instead. About how he should stop being stupid in most cases.

"I'm beautiful, Gi-chan?"

Why was he blurting out such embarrassing things, he had absolutely no idea. It wasn't like these were lies or anything, but saying it out loud was another story. Gilbert peeked up and noticed Jirou blinking, for which he couldn't blame him at all...it wasn't like one of their everyday conversations at all.

"Shit, I've said it already...but yes, you are," He mumbled, looking away again. "You are beautiful."

In fact, Gilbert couldn't keep looking away from Jirou for too long, so he took another glimpse. Taking eyes off the other man slowly became impossible, though.

"What the hell is this, I can't even take my eyes off you!"

He...couldn't? Jirou stared at him then slowly moved closer and closer until he actually backed Gilbert against a wall. Anyone watching would think that he was really seducing him, especially when he cupped his chin with his fingers and leaned in close.

"Gi-chan, when did you start feeling this way?"

He had a feeling that he knew what was happening here...

The thought of running away as far as possible didn't even cross his mind, which was a little weird, given it was Gilbert...all he could do was to take these few steps backwards, but with his back leaning against a wall, all possible escape routes were gone.

However...did he really want to run away with Jirou so close, though? Pretty sure that his body wouldn't let him do that, Gilbert didn't even yank his hand away.

"I don't know...like half an hour ago, maybe..."

That was a bit too precise of an answer, but it's only the truth.

"W-What are you planning to do? You're...really close."

A half an hour? That was terribly specific. Which also meant that it was probably his charm ability being beyond his control again. Jiroutachi sighed then stepped back and took Gil's hand in his own.

"Let's go get an ice cream together, Gi-chan! You can stay with me until you're ready to yell at me again!"

Oddly enough he liked Gil's more dishonest side better. Mainly because it was so very honest in its own way. The words saying one thing while the face and eyes said something else.

"We can just talk though! It'll be fun!"

Otherwise Gil might be really mad at him and he didn't really want that! He'd already said not to use this on him and he'd been really good about that. Not that this was his fault but still.

Gilbert knitted his eyebrows upon hearing such words, "Yell at you? I would never..."

That could only mean that he gave in completely and stopped resisting the charm spell. Jirou taking his hand didn't make things any better, but at the same time...it did made things better. The person he admired since thirty minutes was holding hands with him, could it get any better? Although he hadn't been interested in such things before, he kept smiling softly at Jirou.

"Ice cream? That might be a good idea...I feel so hot, I don't know why."

"Oh I think I know but we won't go into that."

Jirou just gave him one of his pretty smiles. Right before dragging him to his favorite ice cream shop just because it had a sake flavor ice cream. There was no alcohol in it but it still tasted delicious to him! Really that was more than enough.

Humming, Jirou pulled him to the front. "Order anything you want! My treat!"

...Not that he was going to pay but that wasn't the point.

"You think you know?" That surprised Gilbert a bit; if he really knew, why not tell him the reason? But he didn't pry on that and instead, let Jirou drag him along.

(Sake flavor ice cream...what a time to be alive!)

"I'd like a vanilla scoop, maybe two...and please, I'll pay for us! I won't eat unless you allow me to pay."

Like he would make such a beautiful person pay for him, really.

"Nope. You're not paying and neither am I! We're getting them for free!"

With the same trick that was responsible for Gilbert wanting to pay in the first place. Silly charm ability...

"That will be two scoops of vanilla for my friend and my sake ice cream for me please!"

The girl behind the counter giggled and blushed and quickly went to go get their order, coming back and insisting it was on her. "See?"

He beamed at him and pulled him to a table so they could eat.

The way that girl had been looking at Jiroutachi, he didn't like it one bit. Before Gilbert could express that, his roommate dragged him along to a free table where they sat down. That wouldn't stop Gilbert from throwing a few menacing glares at her from over his shoulder, though.

"Do you come here often?" He mumbled before tasting his ice cream.

"Not often. But sometimes. I like the ice cream here."

Tasting his own ice cream, he hummed happily. Yes it wasn't boozy but it still had that flavor he adored so much. And this was also a great way to pass time while he waited to see how long before this charm magic wore off since he hadn't quite figured out how to willingly release people from it yet. But hopefully it wouldn't last more than an hour!

"You could come with me places more. There's lots to see."

"Just the ice cream...huh?"

Even in a million years he wouldn't realize how jealous he sounded back then. Fortunately for Gilbert, Jiroutachi's offer stopped him from saying too much. The only reason why he didn't say "Yes" right away was because he couldn't spit it out at first.

"I'd like to...wherever you'd like to go."

"Mmmm...I meant when you are...feeling less like you'll float off the ground."

He sucked on his spoon thoughtfully then leaned forward with a big smile on his face.

"Gi-chan! When you feel yourself I want you to tell me if I can kiss you or not!"

That would be a great test! Because this Gil was fun but he actually missed the one that flustered so easily and couldn't admit to what he wanted or felt. That was the one he'd been finding himself rather fond of.

What Jirou had said was a pretty accurate description of what Gilbert was feeling back then, really. There also was that warmth in his chest every time he looked at Jirou or heard him speaking. He didn't mind that at all, which by itself was quite weird.

Maybe not as Jirou's request, though.

"E-Excuse me? Kiss?" Gilbert gasped and put the spoon away. Sure, his cheeks were flushed, but something felt different due to Jirou's charm.

"Would you like to kiss me? I-I don't have anything against it!"

He sounded too way too eager, which could only mean that he still wasn't feeling yourself.

"Ahhhh but you're not feeling yourself yet."

He sighed, pouting a little. Jirou was incredibly fond of the Gilbert who had trouble admitting his desires. That was the Gilbert he found he really wanted. Honestly he was sure he wouldn't be satisfied unless it was that side of him that he got to admit he wanted kisses or until that side actually kissed him on his own.

Ah but maybe Gilbert didn't have those desires. Sometimes he could be difficult to read.

"Usually you'd yell at me."

"Oh?" Gilbert's brows knit upon hearing that, and before he got the chance to think those words over, he murmured, more to himself than to Jirou, "Am I stupid or what?"

But if that was what Jirou really wanted, then what else could he do?

"Are you insane...?!"

It still wasn't the same, though. Of course, Gilbert didn't know that.

Jiroutachi blinked then laughed and reached out to pat his cheek gently.

"It's okay, Gi-chan. You don't have to push yourself. I promise I'll be on my best behavior until you are yourself again."

"Alright."

But then, all of a sudden, he wrapped his fingers around Jirou's wrist and guided his hand to his chest. For some reason, he couldn't keep up the eye contact with Jirou, so his gaze was fixed on the table next to the one they were sitting by.

"But..if I'm not myself now...does that mean this is a lie?"

Gilbert was referring to his heart hammering against his chest, apparently.

"I'd hate it if it wasn't real..."

"Ah, well... You could say I don't know if you really feel that way about me, Gi-chan. I've accidentally charmed you so I don't know if you feel that way the rest of the time."

He smiled a little then tilted his head to the side. "You might not. I am a handful."

Taking his hand back, he stirred his ice cream a bit. It was like he'd want Gilbert to feel that way about him but he'd long since accepted that Gilbert would want someone who was less, well, him. And that was fine. It was something he was used to as a sword honestly. Especially a very long sword. There were few around who could handle someone like him.

"Of course you are."

One glance at Gilbert and it would become apparent that he was taken aback by his own words. After hastily covering his mouth with his hand, he peeked at Jiroutachi.

"I'm sorry, I didn't really mean to..."

Gilbert's hand went from his mouth up to his temple immediately; something was going on with him, but what was it was beyond his understanding.

"What are we doing here..."

"Ah, are you back now, Gi-chan? I'm really sorry for charming you! I wasn't trying to, I promise!"

He smiled but then put on a more serious expression, standing up so he could lift Gilbert's face to look into his eyes. Just so that way he could see how he was doing after having to go through all that.

"I hope you're back. I was really missing you."

Jirou frowned a little in concern. "You are back?"

"So...I was charmed", Gilbert began slowly, trying to process all the information he had received. "And you took me out...to eat ice cream?"

While he didn't yank Jirou's hands away, he started to squirm on the chair when the other man rested his hands on his cheeks, "What is going on with you, really..."

At the mention of Jiroutachi missing him, Gilbert just cleared his throat, unsure how should he address that.

"I am...so you can stop doing...well, this!"

It was definitely Gilbert.

He laughed then sat back, resting his chin on his hands as he smiled across the table at him. There Gil was! He'd been missing him!

"Welcome back. I missed you."

"Missed me?" Gilbert tilted his head, watching Jiroutachi carefully. "I was here all the time, wasn't I?"

It didn't make much sense to him, but after giving it some more thought, he quickly added, "I didn't do anything weird, did I?"

His mind was still hazy and recalling what had happened in the past thirty minutes or so seemed to be a real challenge.

"You were here but you weren't acting like yourself. Don't worry though. I wouldn't let you say anything too bad."

Jirou picked up his spoon to put another mouthful into his mouth, sucking on the spoon soon after.

"If you want me then I want you to want me as you and not because I accidentally made you that way."
