What a beautiful, non-weird day at the park it was!

Shame Anakin was going to ruin that for everyone, huh?

"Right!" he yelled through the megaphone. "Today we have a new and fun team-building game where you will be in groups of four!"

How thrilling!

"You will get matching socks for greater teambuilding!"

...sure?

"And put your feet up in the air so I may rest a bucket on them!"

Anakin, what.

"The first team to remove all of the socks from their feet without dropping the contents of the bucket on themselves wins!"

Anakin, you totally made this game up, didn't you.

"Listen for your names! And no use of special powers to win."

Sorry, folks.

Socks? SOCKS?!? Shunsui had already been on the fence about coming to another one of these things; they had been nothing but work so far, and far too much work for the benefit, but he thought maybe, just maybe, this week might not be so bad. The island was back to normal, so hopefully far less things to have to jump and run on and hit, and he'd gotten a little taste of one side certain inciting rivalry between the aptly-named Rosa-chan, with her radiant beauty with all those thorns underneath, and her much more enigmatic rival. He'd hoped perhaps today might allow him to get the other half...or make more progress with the first.

But being expected to wear socks might be where he needed to draw a line. He had eschewed and refused to wear socks for as long as he could remember, much to the chagrin of his fellow Shinigami, and if anyone thought he'd start now, well...!

...but then Shunsui actually saw the socks.

"...awwww ♥," he said, beaming at them. "Delicate fucking flowers for our delicate fucking toesies ♥!"

Maybe the socks weren't so bad after all.

"These are pretty great," Shuri agreed, giggling as she put them on. "And not a t-shirt."

"Oh, those t-shirts hardly did anything to compliment my current aesthetic ♥," complained the man wearing literally three layers of robes in the summer, with a chuckle, his beaming smile now shifting to his lovely teammate. "Granted, neither do socks..." He took a moment to look down at his bare feet in his wooden sandals, wiggling his toes a bit, then looked back up with a grin. "But I think today I can make an exception ♥."

"Well," stated Prompto, taking a moment to turn his new socks over in his hands to admire them from all angles while snickering, "I know what I'm getting Gladio for his birthday now, too!"

....except....probably not.

Because, for a guy named after a damn flower, Gladiolus was very large and there would be nothing delicate about the potential punch that would possibly be coming Prompto's way if he did.

"I actually kind of like these," Kitty admitted, pulling the socks on.

She was keeping them.

"And they look absolutely stunning on you, my dear ♥," said Shunsui, because, sorry, Kitty, as the only adult female on this team, it looks like you've drawn the lucky Getting Hit On straw this week.

"They truly bring out the lovely glimmer in your...eyes ♥."

Socks, Shunsui. They were socks.
