fluff suegiku on vacation😭 (a bit of angst tho)

Chapter 5

So after that little...incident, the Hunting Dogs made their way to the amusement park nearby. The walk was pretty peaceful, apart from Teruko and Tachihara giggling quite loudly in the back of the group, and Jouno taking the occasional yell at them. They had still not gotten over the events of the previous night, and Fukuchi was just straight up confused as he had slept through the whole thing, which Jouno was happy about. If the commander found out, that would be a completely different and more dangerous story for Teruko and Tachihara. 

Even so, the two could barely contain their laughter, and at some points had to take "laughing breaks" (they just walked slowly behind the group to laugh.) 

God knows what Tecchou was thinking about. Every so often he'd stop walking and stare at ants passing by until Jouno slapped him and told him to keep walking. 

"What do you think you're doing, you idiot?" 

"Looking at the ants."

"Well, stop it, and keep walking," Jouno said angrily before continuing to walk. 

After a long and not very enjoyable walk, the group had finally made it to the amusement park. Teruko had already ran off and dragged an unwilling Tachihara with her, and Fukuchi had gone to find the beer section, leaving Jouno and Tecchou behind. 

"Of course this had to happen..." Jouno muttered to himself as he suddenly realized how loud it was in the park and plugged his ears as tight as he could. Tecchou had stopped watching those random ants he saw carrying away a piece of cotton candy after noticing Jouno being in some form of pain, and rushed over to him.

"Are you alright?" Tecchou asked, concerned.

"I'm fine, so leave me alone." Jouno replied, though the pain he was experiencing was evident in his voice.

Tecchou stayed silent, but he could tell Jouno was lying. In fact, quite literally anyone could tell that he was lying; it was too obvious. However, the difference between Tecchou and literally anyone was that Tecchou was completely deranged. So, instead of leaving Jouno be, he picked him up by his legs, hauled him over his shoulder, and dragged Jouno off in random direction, ignoring his protests.

Somehow, they just so happened to have made their way to the edge of the amusement park, a quiet, secluded alley with no one in it. Jouno's ears had already stopped ringing, and forced Tecchou to put him down.

"What the hell was that?!"

"You looked like you were in pain, so I helped you."

"Well, at least tell me before you do stuff like that!"

"...I'm sorry..."

Jouno was left speechless at Tecchou's words. Though he couldn't see him, he heard true concern and sorrow from his apology.

"...It's fine, just...don't do that so suddenly. But...thank you, I guess..." Jouno mumbled, his face becoming slightly pink out of embarrassment.

Tecchou, happy to hear Jouno's praise (for like, the only time in his life), also got a pink-ish face and, without any warning, pulled Jouno into a tight embrace, burying his face into Jouno's shoulder. Which, of course, Jouno wasn't ready for at all. 

"You- what're you doing?! I just said thanks, that's all-"

"Just enjoy this."

"I-..."

In truth, Jouno did enjoy it, but he would never admit it.
