Chapter 3: Homophobic Dogcore

CW ig—- uhhh ig depiction of queer trauma or something like that? Anxiety around possible violence

Heito's a simp and angsty at the same time in this chapter, idk. this is so poorly written.

The run-down men's bathroom of an empty Denny's wasn't Heito's first choice for an impromptu makeover, but it worked better than he had expected. It was fairly cleaner than public bathrooms usually were, and, though it didn't smell too great, the paper towel dispensers were fully stocked. The water ran fairly clean and the lights weren't flickering too badly. The only other person in the building was a bored young adult who was much more preoccupied with his manga than watching his only two customers. Heito figured that was for the best. He didn't think the Denny's manager would appreciate two (temporarily) homeless teenagers lurking in his bathroom, exchanging safety tips and applying Jasper's makeup.

"Okay, okay. So." Heito adjusted his seat on the row of sinks, trying to ignore the pain in his left leg. He looked down at Jasper, picking up a plastic comb in one hand and and the eyeliner pen in the other. "So. If someone offers you a drink, what do you say?"

"Hmm..." Jasper leaned against the sink, propping up his face on his hand so Heito could reach him easier. "I'd say no. Respectfully."

"Even if they seem friendly? And you've talked to them beforehand?" Heito leaned toward him, eyeliner pen hovering over Jasper's face.

"Well... I probably won't, but if they're really friendly..."

"Jasper, come on," Heito sighed, tapping the back of the pen against his forehead. Jasper blinked like a cat. "I just gave you a whole speech on watching your drink."

"It's not like everyone is going to try to kidnap me," Jasper said, amused. "But, really, I'll be careful. I promise. It's just a party; there's no need to worry."

Heito paused for a moment before touching the tip of the pen to Jasper's inner eye. "Yeah," he said softly. "Just... keep one eye open. We're not sure how many people might be trying to hunt us down." He drew across his eyelid, trying to keep his hand as steady as possible. The eyeliner wasn't really necessary, but Heito needed something to do with his hands and Jasper was happy to oblige.

"I doubt there will be many hybrids trying to scout us out at a teenager's house party," Jasper replied, closing both eyes as Heito moved over to his left eye. "I don't think anybody will care about us picking up a couple of meals and using the wifi."

Heito wasn't worried about the animal cops who had chased them into this dimension. Their group had dealt with them long enough to know that they weren't actually a threat. Humans caught up in the intoxicating, buzzing revelry of a party, however, posed a problem. Surrounded by friends they wanted to impress, Heito was all too well acquainted with the things people would do to gain others' approval. He didn't want to tell Jasper that; he was almost excited for the party. After almost a month of bouncing between dimensions, who could blame him?

So, Heito just nodded and pulled his hands away. "Yeah. You're right. Does that look good? Sorry if it's messy... Yuki showed me how she did her eyeliner but she has completely different eyes from you. You can wash it off if you want."

Jasper pulled away from him, admiring himself in the mirror. Turning his head side to side, Heito only now noticed how ragged his handiwork was; it was barely visible on his left eye, and too heavy on his right.

"Ah, it's not messy at all! Don't worry about it!" Jasper said, completely enamored. He combed his thick brown hair out with his fingers, framing it around his face. They hadn't been able to access a shower for several days, so it wasn't in very good condition, but the cheap dry shampoo Heito had shoplifted gave his hair the appropriate amount of volume. Jasper smoothed his hands down the side of his head, smiling.
