After a very interesting talk with an Ichigo-who-was-not-his-Ichigo, Keigo was suddenly filled with a new spark of determination, something that was wholly rare in the lazy prince. It was kind of funny, actually; Ichigo was the only person so far who could get him so fired up and motivated to actually do things as he was then. Of course, that would be the outlaw's undoing; Keigo was intending to fix this little problem any way possible

Ichigo had no idea what to make of the form that came at him. For one thing, Keigo looked pissed off which was unsurprising if Ichigo bothered to consider the prince's comments on the computer. Secondly, the other teen had nothing but a blanket on him and that made Ichigo's mind wander quite a bit.

Hell, he forgot he was angry at him for a moment.

Keigo opened his mouth, though, and Ichigo was annoyed again. Ichigo didn't even know why Keigo bothered to say he had stuff to say to him when there wasn't a second that went by that he was chattering away.

"What?" Ichigo was at least a little curious, even if a great deal of his mind yelled that this would only end in failure. He shifted a little on the sand to bring his knees up, brows furrowed down into a frown, and he waited to listen to.. whatever the hell the prince had to say.

Keigo's frown faltered a little as the blush on his face became more prominent; crap, why did Ichigo have to look so.. so...

...

OK. Anyway! Keigo huffed, twitching as he tried to keep his focus, "W-well!" He was off to a beautiful start, "I just wanna tell you that.." This was failing horribly. Gah.

The prince crossed his arms, bundling some of the blanket around him a bit more, "Y-you're being a jerk!" He said finally, trying to keep his eyes on Ichigo's face, but ultimately failing and wandering elsewhere. Pursing his lips, he turned away only slightly, if just to get his sight elsewhere. Oh, ocean. You never failed me, have you?

Ichigo found it hard to ignore the way Keigo's eyes wandered from his face to other areas on his body. He felt his own face heat up at that and the scowl on his face only grew worse. If Keigo just came her to ogle him, then Ichigo was going to get up and kick his ass.

Keigo seemed to get it together when he looked away from the outlaw, and what finally came out of those ever-pouting lips made Ichigo blink. Did Keigo just... call him a jerk?

"Wait. What." Ichigo could hardly believe his ears, and the blush that had begun on his nose was now more of an angry red. "I'm a jerk?! You're the one who was acting like an asshole!"

[april1st]

Keigo was well aware of his error, but by that point, he was already focused on the ocean and trying to block out whatever mental images had so rudely shoved themselves into his brain.

He twitched a little when Ichigo started yelling, making that attempt all that much easier. His pout became a scowl easily and he turned back around, voice escalating as expected, "Yes, you were!! And I only started acting like an asshole because you were being mean to me first!" His logic was flawless, naturally.

With another huff, Keigo sat down on the sand a bit away from Ichigo--that was strange; he wasn't used to sitting so far apart--pulling the blanket up over his head like a child might do while playing. Only Keigo wasn't in a very jubilant mood. He rested his chin on his knees and sighed, muttering, "Besides, I didn't intend to make you so angry."

[15strawberries]

Ichigo didn't know if Keigo actually heard himself when he spoke. "What the hell are you talking about? You're the one who was teasing me about being drunk!" Did Keigo not remember that or something? Who the hell knew!

The outlaw scowled further at Keigo's muttered words. This was ridiculous. They were fighting about something so fucking stupid. It didn't seem like Keigo was willing to apologize, either, and Ichigo would be damned it he was going to. He didn't know what else they were supposed to do though. Ignoring Keigo didn't work for some reason, because here he was yelling at him.

"This is really dumb." The obvious just needed to be stated, apparently. "Why are we arguing about this?" Ichigo asked, his arms now crossed over each other and on his knees while he scowled off to the side somewhere.

[april1st]

"W-well!! I was just kidding!" Keigo lifted his head briefly before resting it back on his knees. He would agree; this was a rather silly thing to argue about, wasn't it? But, the prince was just as stubborn as Ichigo was so there was a great chance of the whole situation not going anywhere fast.

"I.. I dunno'," Keigo said finally, after watching the waves for a few moments longer. It was getting darker out and the prince was suddenly hit with deja vu rather harshly. Weren't they in a similar situation only a few weeks ago? That was enough to get a little laugh out of the prince.

It subsided quickly, however, as he picked his head up to give Ichigo a look from underneath his blanket, "....... Um. Aren't you cold?" He spoke carefully, not wanting Ichigo to assume he was being an ass or something. Well, he should have, anyway; he was still a bit ticked off at the entire situation!

[15strawberries]

"It was a lousy joke." Ichigo grumbled, more to himself than to Keigo. Ichigo hadn't liked being drunk, and the way he'd acted while he was out of it just made him more annoyed about it. He acted like a fucking idiot ... well ok, that wasn't anything new as far as him around Keigo was concerned.

Ichigo couldn't really object to how the night ended, he guessed. Maybe.

"... Not really." He replied, the stubbornness kicking in yet again. He wasn't about to tell the person with a blanket that it was sort of chilly out here with the sun going down. Being naked wasn't all it was chalked up to be.

[april1st]

"Yeah.. Well..." Keigo couldn't help be respond to what Ichigo had said even if he probably wasn't seeking a response. Habit, perhaps. In any case, Keigo continued to pout, wiggling his feet against the sand beneath them. Hrm. He wasn't sure what to even say after that..

"..." The prince continued to look at Ichigo, deciding that that was the opening he was waiting for, "I think you're lying," It wasn't teasing as it might have been usually, but he wasn't exactly serious, either. But, he was aware Ichigo had a silly habit of thinking that he had to hide things from Keigo, and the prince certainly wouldn't have any of that!

So after another moment, Keigo stood up without a word, stepping carefully along the sand towards the outlaw. Standing behind him, he waited perhaps five seconds before sliding the blanket off of himself and draping it around Ichigo's shoulders. He remained silent. If Ichigo didn't want the damn thing, then he'd just take it back! Hrmph.

[15strawberries]

Ichigo didn't reply to Keigo's comment as he didn't think there was a real need to. So what, the prince knew he was lying about the cold, who cared? He barely heard Keigo walk to him on the beach, but he certainly felt the blanket around his shoulders. He frowned at the sudden warmth and tilted his head backwards to look up at Keigo and-

... what a bad idea. Tilting his head back at Keigo who was standing behind him while he was naked and suddenly Ichigo's head was in a really.. interesting place. His cheeks went red again and he jerked his head back to where it was.

This was going really well. "Idiot." He finally spoke into the silence. He grabbed a hold of the blanket and held it back towards Keigo but didn't look back at him. "You don't have anything to wear either, and it's your blanket." Besides, though Ichigo wasn't about to say it, he was pretty sure Keigo needed it more than he did.

... Not to mention he really didn't want the distraction of Keigo being nude.
