Being two thirty-firsts of a whole idiot, both of the boys failed to catch any homophobic sentiment.
Nonetheless, after a few more seconds of struggling, Spiciness eventually released his friend, who stumbled a few steps forward. "Hey, no need to hug me that much!" Seafood teased, looking back at the other, "Or keep me quiet, for that matter, it's not like you're peeling my shr—"
"Bzshszhhzhsh!" came his friend's odd reply, accompanied by him jumping & sort of flapping his arms to get him to stop, though somehow he did not disrupt the crowd too much, "Let's not talk about that here, okay?" There was a smug shrug in response as the two boys walked with the redhead, doing so with moderate competence & squeezing where they could. They were careful not to bump into anyone except for each other, of which they seemed rather inclined to simply because it was less awkward compared to bumping into a stranger.
"So about my home country, since you guys asked..." Spiciness began as they continued to the harbor, "Seafood was right, some of it can be kind of unbelievable. But anyway, it's called Psytronius, The Floating City. It's full of smart people, not really like me." He giggled a little before continuing. "It's mostly because of them that Sousundowa Carême exists. I, or maybe we, couldn't have done it without them, especially Elijah Phee Loew since he helped create the first of us." He didn't explain anything more about the apparent creation process & instead gestured to Seafood. "He & I both hold the Sousundowa Carême title. There's like twenty-nine others of us, though, but we consider there to be one ho— er, main Sousundowa."
"For that matter, we're only here because of something he did with another form," Seafood added, but his friend shout him a deadly glare in response, "Er... sorry. I shouldn't be talking about what happened before we got here, it was awful. But I did pull a pretty nice pra—"
"Okay, that's enough of that!" Spiciness lunged at his friend from behind, the two entering the same position as before with the same amount of struggling, "It wasn't a very funny prank, nothing to worry about. Ew, did you just lick my hand?" He pulled away from Seafood, shaking off his hand, being careful to do it away from anyone else to avoid spraying them in saliva. "Mmm, you taste good..." his friend said, looking back at him with a seductive gaze, "Like a hot chi—"
"For the record, we're not homosexuals, we're just idiots," Spiciness interrupted with a nervous smile, ignoring his friend's adorably pouty expression, "Plus, part of that prank he mentioned involved another female friend of ours whacking us really, really hard, so I think it might be us being a bit loopy still." Meanwhile, Seafood wandered a short distance ahead of the group, sniffing the air & evidently excited by the aroma of the sea. "Ah, salt water... I wonder," he walked back to the group, "Is there any edible seafood in Kyrenaia? I'm always looking for new, exotic foods to cook up." He winked with a sly smile. "Or, maybe I'll be the one eating something this time?"
"Dang, guess I don't qualify," teased Spiciness.
"Stop acting so gay, dude!" the other thrust his hands into the opening in his friend's shirt & proceed to gave him a playful shove, his own stupid smile growing, "You're giving everyone the wrong idea."
"No, it's been you, mostly! Your hands have been wandering over me in all the wrong places," he countered, filled with energy as he bounced on his feet as the group presumably neared the harbor, "Oh, & don't push me into the water." Undeterred by the demand, Seafood walked a bit forward & began to examine the shoreline, looking around to make sure there was somewhere that indicated that people did go down into this area. Seeing this, Spiciness sighed & shook his head with a slight smirk. "God, he's such an idiot. That's what I love about him... er, j-just as a friend," he said, blushing at his last line, "Y-you know, I never did ask..."
"Just what is the Kyrenaian stance on homosexuality, anyway? He & I aren't a couple or anything, but I'll admit we do play around a bit..."
