I, too, dream of being kabe-don'd

[kinikilig]

Kabe-don (壁ドン)

Kabe-don is a romantic trope seen in various shoujo anime and manga. Kabe means “wall” and don is a Japanese onomatopoeia for the thud of hitting a wall. Usually, this is where a tough (sometimes tsundere) character backs another character against the wall, resulting the latter pounding the wall with their fist with one or both arms. It invokes a cool feeling, making the one being pinned against the wall go all doki-doki like this girl here-- EXTREME KABE-DON!!!

R U L E S:
1. Tag your character with their name and series on the subject line.
2. Tag other people!
3. Indicate which role your character is going to play (the one being pinned against the wall or the one doing the pinning XD)
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

Ryuuko smirked as she nodded and finished up her slice. "I am! I've met a few guys over the years and they're not as sweet as you." She frowned a bit at his next statement before she smiled over at him. "I don't see why not. You're sweet, kind, and pretty cool to hang around. Shoot, I'd date you."

Ryuuko leaned over for another slice when her words clicked in her mind. She flushed and looked over at him sheepishly. "I mean I would if like you didn't have so many girls asking you!" She felt that wasn't a good enough save, but it was the best one she had.

[lasthungrywolf]

"..ee-..!"

Tetsuo blinked and stared at her, reddening--already a bit flushed at her calling him sweet, but ten times more so at the assertion that she'd date him.

"..y-... ......y'would? ...I mean... ..........I ain't, uhh... I ain't got nobody doin' that..."

..................did that mean she was going to date him? ...Ryukun, the angry tomby girl, who'd somehow metamorphosed into a totally hot chick? Could things have really changed that much? This was like one of those butterfly things he didn't really pay attention to when he was in school, wasn't it...

[scissoruniform]

Ryuuko silently cursed as she tried to figure out how she could fix what she started. Well, it wasn't that far off. She had a crush on Tetsuo when they were little. He was the only boy that didn't want to fight her and they ran things together so well that her admiration turned into a crush before she knew it. However, when he left she pushed those feelings to the back of her mind and didn't touch it up again. Yet she was able to spill her darkest secret in a matter of seconds.

Ryuuko stared at her sneaker before she looked over at him. "Um, you sure? I don't see why not."

Well, she wasn't one to run away from anything, she wasn't going to stop not. Ryuuko turned her red face to him as she nodded. "Yeah, um, I would. You, um, always saw me differently so I...yeah..."

She would face whatever happened, though she still couldn't believe she didn't realize what she said.

[lasthungrywolf]

"E-...eheheheh, r-really..? I mean... y..yeah, I'm sure, ain't nobody done nothin' more'n tease me 'bout it... y....y'really wanna....? I mean, uhh... ...Idunno nothin'bout it, so uh... might not be no good at it or nothin'."

Still, despite being obviously about as flustered as he could get, he was rather obviously pleased at the prospect... if also rather nervous about it. The way he combed a hand through his hair was always a sign he was out of sorts somehow, either upset or just worried. Not that it made his mop of hair any neater.

...and, after all, could she still be pulling his leg?

".......you, uh.. y'really serious, Ryukun..? I mean... I ain't sayin' yer lyin', just... .....y...yanno, chick like you..."

His eyes wandered downward indicatively. She had a lot more going on than when they were kids, after all. How could other guys not notice that?

[decideformyself]

[ That smirky grin turns into a full-blown "Fascinating!!!" smile. ]

Ah, so this is it...! Yes, how truly compelling...

[tanteiotaku]

Eh? What? [Well, that totally took the wind out of his sails.]

[decideformyself]

This is the phenomenon known as "kabe-don". I was just reading about it and wanted to experience it for myself. You've been a big help, Shotaro.

[tanteiotaku]

Eeeeeeh? [Someone may need a demonstration.]

[decideformyself]

[ A fond sigh. ]

Like this.

[ He grabs Shotaro by the shoulders and quickly flips their positions, shoving Shotaro against the wall and boxing him in with his arm. ]

[tanteiotaku]

[Accordingly, his face gets red and his face gets a little surprised.] Uh...

[decideformyself]

[ Satisfied that Shotaro understands now, Philip backs off and picks his book back up. ]

It's a popular trope in many forms of visual media. Have you never heard of it before?

[tanteiotaku]

I didn't know it was called anything... --Hey where are you going?

[decideformyself]

Hm? [ He looks back over at him. ] My curiosity has been satisfied. I'm going to record my results.

[tanteiotaku]

That's cold...

[decideformyself]

[ He tilts his head. ]

Ah, did you want to continue the research?

[tanteiotaku]

Or at least this... [Going to cross over to him and give him kisses.]

[decideformyself]

[ Ohhhh. That makes sense.

Philip grins and pushes Shotaro back up against the wall to return those kisses. ]

[tanteiotaku]

Oi [It's only a mild complaint this time. Still making out though.]

[decideformyself]

[ Smooch smooch. Hands up in the fluffy Shotaro hair. ]

[tanteiotaku]

[After a little bit, he seems satisfied.] Alright, fine. But warn a guy next time you do an experiment on him, okay?

[decideformyself]

That would have compromised the results.

[tanteiotaku]

[He sighs.] Now get out of here before I kick your ass.

[decideformyself]

[ Philip just laughs and heads back down to the garage after one last peck on the cheek. ]

Ryuuko rubbed the back of his neck as she looked over at Tetsuo. She noticed that he continued that way of combing his fingers through his hair. Something that he did when they were kids and there was something he didn't understand. Ryuuko nodded as she got up and walked over to take a seat next to him. She was never one to beat around the bush too much.

"Yeah I am. I, like you, you know alot. When you left I...I really missed you, so to run into you was pretty great and I don't really want you to go again." Ryuuko felt a little mushy saying it, but she figured it would be a good time to let him know how she felt. Ryuuko turned to him and gave a small smile. "I'm serious I would Tetsuo."

[lasthungrywolf]

Tetsuo blinked, blushing darkly at that straight-shooting answer, especially with her sitting so close to him. Although obviously still flustered, he tried to compose himself for the sake of his tough image whether she bought into it at all or not.

"...e..eto...... w-..well... e-eheheh, I mean... if, uh.. if that's really how y'feel 'bout it... ....I mean. ...you, uh."

He hesitated there, then steeled himself, huffed quietly, and reached a hand over to rest over hers.

"......y'wanna go out, then?"
