Who: Masaru, Rin
What: Yo man, what's going on?
When: Evening
Status: Closed
Style: Any

Masaru had come home to his and Rin's apartment from one of his daily workouts eager to... well, more working out. But that was because Rin had promised to spar with him, and Masaru enjoyed matching his skills with someone he considered his equal. With Rin busy with his other friends and his new job, they hadn't seen each other much, but Rin had promised they'd get to match up with one another that day.

Except... Rin didn't show up.

And so, Masaru had been forced to wait, and wait, and wait. What the heck was the deal, he wondered? Rin was his own man, and not one of his followers like Agumon had been, but still an appointment was an appointment. Where the hell was he?

"Why would somethin' sweet need salt?! That makes no sense!"

[howamanlives]

"When a man thinks something needs salt, it needs salt! Their spirit tells them so!"

[keepsthefire]

Rin rolled his eyes and scoffed.

"No, it's your damn stomach telling you. Don't try to put that spirit of man bullshit behind you ruinin' a perfectly good plate of tamago."

[howamanlives]

Masaru hmphed. "Like you'd know what it means to be a real man, anyway..." he said, giving an aside glance.

[keepsthefire]

"... 'scuse me? 'Real man'? Says the guy the same age as me."

[howamanlives]

"You heard me," he said. "And age has nothing to do with it."

[keepsthefire]

"Tch," Rin scoffed, "I don't care. I ain't human so it's not like a give two shits what the rest of the world defines as a man anyway."

[howamanlives]

"Hello? You're talking to a guy whose follower was a giant lizard. You don't need to be human to be a real man!"

[keepsthefire]

"So, what, you gotta have followers? That's dumb."

Yup, Rin completely missed the point.

[howamanlives]

"... No. You just gotta live like a man does! And you definitely do that, Rin! Even if you do wear a girly apron!"

[keepsthefire]

"... my apron is not girly! How is a plain blue apron girly?!"

[howamanlives]

"... dude, you're kinda missing the point here..."

[keepsthefire]

"Yeah yeah, live like a man does, blah blah. Same bullshit the old man used to spout at me, comin' from a different voice."

Rin shook his head and put his hands out, as if to say 'look at all the fucks I give, Masaru. Seriously.'

[howamanlives]

Masaru just smirked.

"... 'cept I'm saying you're already doing it."

[keepsthefire]

"Yeah, whate-- ... I am?"

[howamanlives]

Masaru just laughed, and threw a couch pillow at Rin. "Yeah, and that's all yer gettin' from me!"

[keepsthefire]

"Hey!" Rin caught the pillow, glowering over it for a second before breaking in to a laugh.

See, old man? I told you I ain't shown you nothin' yet...
